Honesty was something that the vigilante king could appreciate, and even if Ashkir did not know what it was that he had for skills, honesty appeared to be one of them. Vigilante considered this for a moment, deciding that it was more than enough of a satisfactory answer. "The basic starting rank for members here is Seigneur," he said, "and as you integrate yourself into the pack, you will move up the ranks. Eventually, you will be able to choose an official job to do, if you wish, but you will have plenty of time to think of what interests you." It was not a mandatory thing for a member to pick up a co-rank, and he knew that there were a number of higher-ranked and long-standing members that did not have a specific job, and that was fine.
Before long, they seemed to be joined by the friend that Rurik and Ashkir had mentioned. Jade eyes widened in surprise, and Vigilante's body went rigid. As the whale went on his merry way, the King stared at the pack's newest member. "What was that?" he asked incredulously. He suspected it was the "vhale" that Rurik had mentioned, and from that, he could say that, no, he had never seen one of those before. He did not know what it was or whether or not it was safe, but if Rurik and Ashkir did not consider it dangerous... Well, he did not know Ashkir well, either, but he trusted Rurik's judgement on this.
As the inevitable moment of concern about the whale passed, the subject drifted, and Vigilante was glad for it. "There is a very large city, Halifax, far to the north, but it is not in our territory. However, within our territory, we have a smaller city, Lunenburg, and the houses are safe. I live there with my family. Most of the homes there are not claimed, either. As for hunting... You would need to make sure that you can eat, though nothing extravegent. I know we have a number of good hunters here that would be willing to help you out, perhaps teach you, and of course we have fishing," he added, nodding towards the large expanse of ocean.
