The boy couldn't help but feel slightly uncomfortable around the man. When he mentioned him 'not being enough to be a sub-alpha', it stung him. Yeah, of course it offended him! He tried his best, really. Aldoro's ears slowly began to flatten against his crown. His eyes drifted to the ground, where his paws interrupted the soft flow of the mud. Grunting, he lifted his head and tightened his gaze on the boy. Was he trying to use him? Aldoro's blunt expression twisted into a frown. "I'm soon to get some training...ah, I think. But why do you care?" The man's words would slip out his maw in a suspicious manner. He narrowed his eyes before continuing smoothly. "You are not going to try and push me aside so you can become her sub-alpha...I'm fine with how I am." Really, the boy was confused. He did need training, yes, but he didn't want a replacement while he was getting help. It seemed wrong to him.
