At first his words had irked Gargoyle somewhat. Of course he would paint a rosey picture of his den of murderers. Gargoyle cared about this strange fae's safety yet he had enough dignity and sense to see that any rebuke on his part - any comment that bordered on calling this male, Ulrike, a liar, would seem shallow and out of the blue. Gargoyle's own words had only as weight as the pale fellow's. And frankly, the last thing the Chief wanted was for the meeting to dissolve into some petty squabble upon who's pack was better. Perhaps he shouldn't have even gotten involved... yet it had been a well meaning interruption, motivated by fatherly stirrings he had little control over... One can imagine the Chief's surprise, however, when, as the words of the other wolf went on, he detected something of possibly the same motivation. A Tortugan presenting a portion of truth? Surely this must be the end of the world. Normally Gargoyle would choke this up to merely a ploy - an angle - for were not lies all the more powerful when given a hint of truth? And yet Gargoyle did not detect such a hidden motive. Despite his cynical disposition towards Tortugans, he had a level of respect this male's honesty. It quieted him for a time. He thought about his next words carefully, seating himself in the grass as he did so. "If you are not aware of the customs of our land, Miss, I should tell you that Alphas and high ranking pack members have a right to challenge for dominance over wolves. Pack wolves may lay 'claim' to creatures and bring them by force into their packs." He shook his head slightly. "But such has never been a custom I thought very useful. In the end, you must decide what you seek in a home and where you believe you will be most useful." Gargoyle was laying all the cards out on the table. "Have you an inclination towards subtley and spying - or perhaps violence? Then I suggest you choose Tortuga or that new pack, Amenti. If you've a passionate love of the sea, then go south to Seracia. If you prefer to loose yourself in the color and light of a large crowd then you might seek out Valhalla. If you prefer mystery, you might go in search of the pack that I hear dwells in the mangrove swamps. As for my own pack Glaciem, it is only for those wolves who are brave enough to take on all the hardhsips and dangers that our beautiful north can dish out. But we face it as a family, and that, I believe, is what defines us." He paused, but only a moment past before his drawl continued. "The company which you choose to keep, is a large put of what decides who you will develop into. I wonder which you would choose." |
