Alliance for Secretua

Walk | Talk | Think He wished he could have taken more pleasure in the fact his inhospitable approach had wiped the smile off of the woman's face, but in fact it did little in appeasing him at all. He simply wanted her gone. It had been surprisingly easy for him to cut ties with that pack that his aunt had once led, when they had practically picked up and moved off around him and his family and left them there in an empty land. Whatever family he had had there, all that mattered to him now were those he had taken under his wing, those who had followed him and formed Secretua with him. The rest...they were on their own. Knowing this woman to have been a part of that brood did not help her case any, not even when she seemed entirely confused and irked by his hostile manner and, brushing away her irritation, went on to claim setting up relations between her pack and those that surrounded it. Rune could not deny the little twinge of curiosity that struck his mind at the mention of it - what pack, exactly, was she a part of? - but it did not change his outlook. Secretua, as far as he was concerned, was still new, still getting on its feet. It had no business getting involved with any of its neighboring packs just yet, not until they were stable enough to defend themselves first and foremost. Self-reliant, that was what he wanted his pack to be. And if he ran off making friends with all the pack leaders without first making sure those under his charge were taken care of, really, who was he helping? "Secretua isn't interested in making alliances, if that's what your friendship means," he answered gruffly, not bothering to add the second part, especially with the likes of Ex-Covaris, which had followed soon after in thought. That, for the time being, was irrelevant. "We're still new, still establishing ourselves. You've come here far too soon." Regardless of the fact he still was reluctant to consider any sort of partnership or truce with the woman, he tried to keep his answers neutral in regards to his true feelings. He might not have wanted anything to do with her, but he also did not want to bring whatever might she might have possessed down on his family by making enemies. "As for neutrality, so long as your pack - whatever it is - doesn't bother Secretua, that can be managed." |
