Convince Me

Amusement flickered in his eyes as he noted her expression as he talked. Zell was very capable of annoying, if not pissing off others. Provoking them until they couldn't contain themselves, and attacked. And he didn't know himself, whether he liked to provoke them that far...or maybe just to see how far he could go with poking the sleeping bear. Whatever case it was, it was his nature and he had grown to be this way. He could see in the Presidents eyes that she wanted to rip his fur. But he wondered if she would try it alone, or call upon her pack to do the dirty work for her. He was larger then she was, so maybe she'd take the wiser choice.

Sonticus? Not bad for a pack name, he thought. But her later remarks would amuse him even further. "So you're saying I'd fit in, even if I caused trouble...you seem to think lowly of me to simply assume I would cause trouble. And yet, you don't know me." His voice had taken on a somewhat serious tone, his gaze slightly hardened on her. He couldn't say he was offended, more disappointed that a wolf who called herself an Alphess was ignorant. Judging a book by its cover. Just because he acted and talked the way he did, didn't mean he wasn't loyal...but she seemed to think otherwise.

"Well, Miss President. I'm afraid I won't be joining, you're pack. If the rest of your merry band of followers is anything like you, then I'd rather give my loyalty to someone who doesn't judge another based on their initial impression. You don't know me, but I could have been one of your most loyal members and a strong fighter. Not that you ever gave that a thought." Without another word, he'd pick up his hare and turn on his heel. Tip of his tail flicking close to Arian's nose (unless it did make contact), and he'd leave the Sonticus borders. Whether he'd remain a loner or eventually find a pack to join, well...he'd just have to wait and see where life took him.
