"Understandable," he mused, "It was a hastily made decision and the borders don't have much to them quite yet." It would take some time and a few more members to consistently patrol the borders and refresh the scents before it became a bit more noticeable. In all honesty, he was rather excited to one day pass through a well-marked border to a territory full of well-worn paths. Thus far the members were all good wolves he was happy to have and he hoped that soon he could work out some activities to promote pack bonding and begin making them into the family he hoped they could all be.
Considering her question didn't take long. Some details of Fýri remained hazy, but this much he was certain of. "Alliances better suit the interests of Fýri. Neutrality feels like a cheap way of saying unreliable." If there was one thing he knew from infrequent history lessons back home, it was that neutrality only held as long as you wanted it to hold. The only things that could be trusted were peace and war, friends and enemies - then you knew where everyone stood. "As a place inspired by the cultures of my homeland, the sense of community and kinship I hope to foster within the pack is something I wish to also extend outward to other packs, in alliance and trade. If you are interested in being allies with Fýri I would welcome it."
His pack might be new, but Ignatius had every intention of growing it quickly so they could begin to get a firm foothold in these lands. Trade would come as soon as they had enough things to offer and the fighters available to both protect traders and still have some for the borders. He hadn't thought to begin forming alliances this early, but now that Aurielle had mentioned it that would be high on the priority list. The more friends Fýri had, the more enemies it could handle. And enemies, well, he was certain there would be no shortage of them soon enough. Probably too soon for his liking.
