The Constable had done his best to keep himself and his small family out of the grasp of the war, deciding that it would be the most beneficial for him to do so. Jacquez and Firefly had chosen to involve themselves and, considering what Haven had told him about what had happen to Firefly, it had not worked out particularly well. Vigilante was sympathetic for her and her lost litter; something like that was never deserved. It concerned him that things were seeming to touch his happy home, and he had been worried that it would affect them more. So far, however, it seemed to remain in the north with those few incidents here and there. The dog mutt was not terribly concerned, but he had continued his extra rounds of the pack lands and borders, just incase. He felt as though he was doing something beneficial and productive by doing so, and that was as much as he could do, really. He could not stop the war and forbid it from coming near them. That simply wasn't how things worked.
Vigilante smiled, nodding politely at the introductions. He did not know much about the coyote clan, other than the fact that they were involved in the war and that Jacquez considered them worthy of aid. It was likely that he had heard other things in passing, but none came to mind immediately. "Why is it that you feel that this change would be best for you?" he inquired, genuinely curious. He addressed Rikka with the question, though the glance given to her brother was meant to indicate that he could answer, as well, if he needed to. This was certainly a border call with different circumstances than most. He could not recall having ever taken in someone so fresh from another pack, as she obviously was, and the pair being split up was new, as well. He had no problem with how it seemed to be going, but he was curious to know how such a decision had come about. It seemed more than likely that the war was involved, though, with this change of revenue.
