It appeared she wasn't a woman of many words. That was fine, it only helped him figure out who to weed out and who would stay, and perhaps who would be used for other purposes. She was a rather interesting looking wolf, her markings were beyond any he'd seen before, her demeanor however...well, she was either really good at hiding secrets, or too timid to really say much. Just because she had size, didn't mean she could be smart. But he wouldn't judge just yet, it could be the other way around too, with brain over brawn. One never knew. "Amachi...it feels quite different on the tongue, but it can be something I'll get used to saying." A joke of course, given away by the smirk on his face as he studied her.
He sat down before her, tail sweeping slowly behind him as he waited for anything more. But it would seem there wouldn't be much to work with, for the woman didn't appear to really like talking. What a shame. "So, you suggested it but the rest of your pack mates were left in the dark? They all seemed rather...surprised, at the meeting. This might lead them to believe they can't trust her, or you. What do you think?"

"Because she places no trust in them, let alone give them a reason to trust her." It was a simple conclusion based on what he had learned of her so far. And he'd be lying if it weren't true, but so far he'd observed that it seemed to be true. That would be his first response, he didn't really have to think much about it. It was obvious, after all. The woman's next words would draw a rather rude laugh from his maw, starting as a low rumbling chuckle until it grew louder and louder, teeth bared as a sneer began to present itself. Was she serious? Was this woman a figment of his imagination or was she real? This pack was getting more amusing by the second, oh how he would be sad to leave simply because he would miss all the stupid things this pack did.
"At this rate, I don't care if the pack hates me. I didn't come to make friends, I came because Arian made a promise she couldn't keep. If I wanted to challenge some low level pack, I would have challenged one already don't you think? In fact..." His fur would bristle only slightly at the thought of stealing a pack from another, though it wasn't Threar that he sought. They were soft and out of the way, no recognition. No, his stealing a pack from them would do nothing. "I was already making plans about something like that, until your little President decided she wanted to use me here against Yfir." A smug look would break free, though for good reason. "Because she needed someone stronger to help, because she's too weak to do it alone."
He stood then, fur bristling more as his lip curled to reveal glinting yellowed fangs. "I've been working hard for my future. I do not expect handouts like some beggar rogue!" He snapped. These poor creatures knew nothing of him, and only liked to assume they did. Oh how they were wrong..."I doubt the fact that Sonticus would be useful. The pack is hardly useful on it's own, barely surviving and barely able to defend itself because your President has too much fear and doubt. I would not be surprised if Yfir succeeded in driving you all out of these lands."

She remained calm. What was this madness? Despite his outrage, Amachi had kept a level head on her shoulders and she didn't lose her composure. Wasn't she like Arian's right hand woman? Slowly, he would settle down as he allowed his hackles to lie flat and his composure relaxed as he returned to a sitting position. It seemed he couldn't quite rile her up, and in a way he liked that calm and uncaring nature. She would be a good addition to his ranks...perhaps he would challenge Arian for her, knowing she was a prized member of Sonticus, he doubted Amachi would be let go so easily. He didn't quite have a response for her, instead he simply huffed as he kept a steady scrutinizing gaze on her. If she was playing him too, he would find out.
"She acts like one, it's no wonder the pack doesn't quite respect her." However, he was still skeptical on Arian's using him...he had come, only for nothing to be done. Arian had spoken no more of raiding Yfir after the meeting, and that was the reason he had shown up and brought his family along in the first place. Perhaps that would be the tail end of his thoughts today. "Do you know if she still plans on raiding?"

An interesting thing to say...so all this time, Arian had been placing her trust in the wrong person? Maybe she really was naive...it made him scoff with a bit of laughter, head shaking slowly as he stifled some more laughter. "So you're pulling the wool over her eyes? She's so naive...trusting someone who probably shouldn't be trusted." An interesting thought, he would store that away for later if ever he needed it. The male shifted on his paws, back straightened out and tail swept around his hindquarters for more comfort. This woman was quite interesting, and he was learning alot from someone who claimed to be distant from others. Though perhaps the way she didn't get close to others was emotional...for it seemed that socially, she was alright. She was talking after all, approaching him on more then one occasion though she never really said much.
"A leader that allows everything and everyone to upset them, and then makes brash and irrational decisions because of it, should not be leading a pack." He gazed calmly at Amachi, amber met grey toned eyes as he thought about it. It was true. The alphas he'd met in the past didn't allow others to get into their head, let alone petty actions or words...however, there were some that lost the fight to their pride. Pride was a huge thing, and ego could kill as it could spur you to your very death if you weren't smart and careful. "A good leader should always have a level head on their shoulders, after all. Do you not agree?"
