Changes, Next Exit ➵

Before Amachi could respond to him, Avalon's voice broke through the tense atmosphere, addressing them both without hostility. Xephyris let loose a breath he didn't know he was holding, and looked to Avalon as she spoke. Her words were of interest to him, and he perked curiously. So, she was trying to get to know her pack mates better as well, and in her own way was trying to help bring them together. He liked that. When he heard her say she wanted their pack to be more active before something unfortunate happened, his brow furrowed, wondering what she meant by that statement; his thoughts began to race with violent scenes, paralyzing him momentarily. Familiar faces with tortured expressions filled his vision; their eyes watching him helplessly as the life was stripped from them, while he could do nothing to save them... He shook his head, squeezing shut his eyes for a moment before casting his gaze upon Avalon, a determined look in his silver orbs.

"Yes, let's bring this pack closer!" he barked roughly, looking between the two ladies, his gaze then landing on Avalon, "We must become strong together. A hunt is surely a good place to start, to provide for the pack and learn to cooperate with one another." He nodded with certainty, his thought pattern clearly shifted from moments ago. Then his cold silver eyes would rest upon Amachi, hearing her soft whisper - such a delicate sound coming from such a massive form. Xephyris shook his head to her apology. "Nevermind that, it doesn't matter," he said, hoping she would understand that he was merely the touchy type, easily offended when he needn't be, "I have no rank yet, Amachi, but I hope to offer protection to this pack, in whatever form that may be. I'm not the fastest on my paws, so I'm not the best hunter... but I am always keenly aware of my surroundings and I keep an eye out for anything suspicious. I've also been trained in battle, and will fight to the death without fear if it is for my pack." That was all he could say for himself - he'd been trained, but he was still young and could do with more training and experience. He could always learn something from others. But regardless, he would always do his best. He hoped they could work together now and start doing something for the pack.
