Strel's voice, full of sarcasm, for one reason or another hit a chord in Noss that injured his pride. Maybe it was because the strength of the sarcasm was so blunt it was enought o hit home even through Noss's ego? With his ears back, Noss sort of...deflated, so to speak. The stranger's tone and posture held no threat, and even though Noss was sure he was being insulted, he felt as if it were a friendly banter. Besides, his minor injuries were still injuries nonetheless, and they bothered his body enough to distract his pride...for awhile. His ears perked back up at the mention of the strange tribe-land that Strel mentioned, but then cocked his head to the side with furrowed brows.
"AniWaya?" Noss said it in two words, the name unfamiliar to the gutteral tongue he was used to. "You say this is a tribe-land? What's it like? Is there a Shaman there?" In all likelihood, Ralla would have sought out a place alike to the Moon Tribe, and this AniWaya seemed to fit the bill. Strel's next question sort of took Noss aback as he looked to the other's face before scoffing. "The 'pretty ladies' are only that, in the Crescent Moon Pack. I enjoy the company of our warriors more." To Noss, beauty meant little in comparison to the mettle of a wolf's heart. He'd rather have a wolf with a strong personality than a delicate flower anyday. And he wasn't afraid to voice that opinion. "And that is a silly excuse to travel so far north. What of yourself? You don't look the type to have a lady-friend." It was a mere hunch because of the short-ear-hooks, but Noss was taking that bet. Unwillingly, Noss realized he was holding a civilized conversation with Strel.
Warrior walks. "Warrior talks." Warrior thinks.
