The snow leopard did a turn about. It only sauntered a few steps though, it's tail bushy and hackles raised, before it did one of those mad feline dashes back up into the rocks. Bits of shale skittered down the slopes, but when the sounds of those rocks died away there was nothing to suggest the predator had ever even touched the landscape.

It's scent died away too. The wolves were alone.

Only when Gargoyle was certain of this, did his snarl die away. He glanced over at his comrade, but the male was already moving on to the next matter at hand. No comment or thoughts on the she-cat, just a question of whether or not Gargoyle wanted a hand with the food. Unflappable. That was the word for him.

Frisk came bounding out of his hiding place. "Not bad Fungus-Fuzz!" the mink said. He was sincere if not dignified. His long lanky body pulled up beside the odd colored brute who had once wanted nothing better than to eat him. "You fight almost as well as Gargie!" The mink, snapped his head back around to his usual companion. "But why'd you let it get away?! That was stupid! It could show up again! Besides it would've made a nice carpet for the pack cave."

Gargoyle looked down blankly at the mink. It was one of the few creatures who could use that tone of voice with him and not be punished. Mainly because on some level Gargoyle considered the mink an idiot not worth his time - and on another because he owed the mink his life. So it was that when he answered it was as calmly as ever. "It was already defeated. No point in useless bloodshed." In the back of his mind, Gargoyle knew that the regrowth of his heart had made him a softer creature, but the truth was he could live with that. He preferred himself this way.

The mink held his tongue but rolled his eyes.

Gargoyle now in turn, focused his attention on the other wolf. True to form, when around another warrior, the Chief didn't waste words or pleasantries. "Oxia," he said, "Would you be willing to take on the responsibilities of a Beta?" Heaven knew they needed one for a long time. And Gargoyle could think of no one better.
