It All Started With That Smile

Alastor had been unsure how Lurid would react to the news of the decaying morale in her pack. He had imagined both anger and frustration, but she simply sat there, stone-faced as ever, taking in everything he said as if he were reporting on something as mundane as the weather. Of course, he had been mostly sarcastic when asking for her forgiveness, but Lurid gave it to him with a look of sympathy. Alastor smirked, a crooked smile while he just reveled in her presence and her beauty. He watched each motion she made to groom herself back to her godly beautiful state. "But they're so effective!" he remarked with a tone of playful sarcasm, but returned to his standard smiling state all the same. He did not know what plan was going on in her head, but from the way her holographic eyes seemed to peer straight through him, he knew she was lost in thought, no doubt trying to plan her next move like a chess master.

His ears perked when she began to lay out her intentions to him. A moment of concern passed through the dire wolf, but he hid it behind his smile. She wanted to bring her pack here now? While he did not deny that they were growing restless, there were a lot of logistics behind moving an entire pack. Where were they going to stay? Did they have ample resources for the pack, like food and water? She turned her eyes to him and Alastor immediately sat up straight and alert, returning her gaze with a very Alastor smile. His ears pricked up and eyes sparked with life. She had someone for him to meet? A twinge of envy twisted in his heart. She had met someone else here in these lands? Of course, he had no cause for jealousy; she was free to do as she wished with whomever she wished. But something still picked at the sinister man's brain. His smile widened and he nodded his head eagerly.

"Of course! Can't have your family showing up without us being prepared!" He rose to his paws and shook the grass out of his thick fur. "So where are we going to set up our new home? Does this forest suit your tastes? Or do you think a cave system would make our family feel more at home? It can be just like before! Oh, and... where is this someone I need to meet?"
