Burn it down

The little male's every word showed how upset he was. And from the sound of it he was perfectly right to be. Once Gargoyle might've smirked to hear that the pack of assassains was taken down, but now, as he spoke with one of the packwolves unhomed by it... Well, considering all that had happened to his own pack lately, it was hard not to feel a touch of empathy. But mainly Garogoyle just felt interested. He wanted to know what was going on - and he got his answers. Newt, that was the name of the she-wolf that Crusade had talked to, had taken a dive. Whatever might have become of her, a she-wolf named Meduse was now in charge, though the pack was probably weakened by the schism. The news of Kaios was even more interesting, but less conclusive. He might be dead, he might be alive. And as for his challenger, it rang no bells in Gargoyle's head. One would think though, that if both the alphas were challenged at the same time there was organization behind it. Well, the outcomes didn't seem to concern him much. For the moment at least, they held no obvious effect on his pack and family. The male pulled his gaze away as the male spoke of once more finding his Queen. The small creature didn't seem the sort that ought to be left on his own, but there Gargoyle's sympathy ended.

And new questions popped up. "Wait -- so who are you? Do you know Newt?" Gargoyle eyed the other wolf again. If he'd been given to putting feeling into his voice, the following words might've been tingued with something like amusement, but instead they rolled out try and tasteless. "I am Gargoyle. Formerly Chief of Glaciem, now Chief of Tortuga. Amenti wasn't the only pack to have to deal with usurpers as of late." The brute regained his paws, standing at his full height. He let his broadside to the other wolf, preferring to face the swell of the sea. His coat was still dripping with saltwater from his earlier 'stroll and he gave a shrug of his shoulders to spatter away the drops. "As for how I know them. I've met neither of the ones you can Alphas. However, my family has had encounters with both." His voice suddenly developed an edge. "I'm sure you're aware of the sort of encounters your Alpha male is known for."
