He didn’t want any trouble with Jaden and so was glad when the other didn’t seem to be too hostile towards him, something that made him relax a little but not too much. He knew that if he relaxed too much then he could slip and a common rogue wouldn’t be here being all fine and relaxed around someone that they didn’t know so he was being extra careful around him. The words made him give a light nod of his head. He had figured that this wasn’t the other male’s land but it was nice to at least be able to confirm it. Looking around with the mentioning of how beautiful the place was, he stepped back a little bit and motioned towards the smoky fire with a wave of his hand paw. ”Please come and take a seat. Hopefully the smoke will die down soon. I caught some fish the other day would you like to have a bite of food?” He offered the other, hoping to come across as much more friendly and open than he normally was. This wasn’t the way that he normally worked but he had to get some things figured out and he couldn’t do that if Jaden was looking at him like he was contemplating where to bite him first after all. Hopefully it wouldn’t come down to fighting either. Janos could hold his own in a brawl but it would be a huge setback for his mission and it was one that he didn’t want to fail after all.
He made sure to keep his head down and his eyes out of the line of sight from his new companion, making sure to always keep his head much lower than Jaden’s. His scars really were from a bad past, from years of being tortured and abused in captivity when he spent his life as a slave. So gathering information like this was easy for him, gathering in a way that was both respectful and didn’t garner any unnecessary attention to himself. Finally the other spoke of his pack and he felt a thrill move through his body. Ah he had found his target pack at long last. Even though he had had an inkling of the truth, being told that it was the way that he had thought was definitely something that helped to soothe him. Jaden then questioned him on his reasoning behind coming here and he could sense that he was entering into very dangerous territory right now. He wanted the truth but he also didn’t want to seem to be too forward. ”The truth is that I’m interested in joining a pack. Can you tell me a little bit about Inchika no Ho-en?” He asked him, hoping to sound hopeful, but cautiously optimistic as a rogue might when he finally hoped to have found a home among the pack lands and the camaraderie between the wolves of the pack. It was something that he hoped wouldn’t be seen through because this was the first person from Ichika that he had met and he wasn’t going to take any chances. He needed to get information out of him.
