A fast peaceful visit

Corbie listened silently, her expression neutral, as Kotori rattled off. His speech rubbed her the wrong way from the very start, and she did not believe for a moment his claim that his pack was not intended to be war-like, nor did she care at all for his brash and pushy attitude, but since she knew very well that she was predisposed to dislike him based on their previous meeting she tucked her feelings firmly away. She didn't answer his probing about why she would have challenged him, or acknowledge his profession of not liking her, to focus on his invitation. She inclined her head in acceptance of it, though she told him, "We will not participate in the tournament, but you may see some Avalon wolves there." She had no intention of either revealing the strength and ability of Avalon's guardians in a tournament, nor of leaving Avalon unguarded to go to a gathering in honor of a pack she had no reason to celebrate the rise of, but she would make sure there was an Avalon presence there to observe anyway. "Was there anything else you needed?" she added politely.
