No Back Stabbing

Aresenn's gaze swept across the group, taking note of the varying reactions and engagement levels of the wolves before him. He appreciated the attentiveness displayed by some, the thoughtful suggestions offered by others, and even the simmering tension evident in the interactions.

"Good observations,” Aresenn acknowledged, nodding in response to Khonsu's insights about their unique form. "Indeed, your ability to cover different angles could be a valuable asset in both attack and defense. Remember, our strength lies not just in individual prowess but in how well we can complement each other.” He then turned his attention to Absinth, a smirk playing on his lips as he responded, "Bait can be an effective strategy, Absinth. It plays on the mentality of your adversaries. If they believe they have an easy target, they might let their guard down, giving us an advantage ... Just be sure not to underestimate your opponents; some might see through the ruse.”

Aresenn continued his discourse on group tactics, delving into specific scenarios and detailing how each member could contribute to the success of the pack. He emphasized the importance of communication, coordination, and adaptability in the midst of battle. "As we progress, we'll delve deeper into these concepts, practice them in simulations, and refine our strategies,” he concluded, locking eyes with each wolf in turn. "This is just the beginning. Remember, our unity is our strength. Our strength will be tested in the days to come, and we'll face challenges that none of us can predict. But as a group, we'll face them together ... Dismissed for now. Take what you've learned today and reflect on it. If you would like someone to train with, please seek me out ... Until the next gathering.” He finished with a nod.

Aresenn lingered for a moment, checking to see if anyone wanted his further attention. A sense of purpose and camaraderie lingering in the air. The lesson had hopefully set a precedent. With any luck, there would be many more to come.
