Liam mostly listened to Jackson speak about his childhood; he didn't really have much to add, his own upbringing having been quite uneventful for the most part. He had gotten into minor trouble with his brother and had learned a bit of French from his mom and how to read and write... He had also learned very basic low speech and was still getting a handle of that one, but other than that this war with Aniwaya was the first real excitement. Even the large snowstorm last year hadn't been that eventful, quite unlike some other packs... Not that Liam would have remembered anyway. In February he was still just two months of age, not even.
Liam shrugged slightly at Jackson's opinion of the enemy pack. “You think so?” he said, although the question was only asked out of politeness, to show he was listening. It didn't really need an answer. Aniwaya – a 'cool looking' place? Liam wondered if that was so. He had a feeling the coolness would be shadowed slightly by his knowledge of the evil that some of the Aniwayans were capable of – kidnapping, killing, hurting... all because of a good-for-nothing leader. Maybe once upon a time the pack hadn't been so bad... after all, Ayasha was a member of it and she was nice. She had practically saved Cour des Miracles from a lot of trouble and had fought alongside Liam and his best friend Robin... against her own pack. They hadn't known each other very long, but after what they'd gone through... Liam trusted the white wolf with his life.
Inferni. Now while the pack seemed familiar, Liam couldn't say much about it. Obviously Liam had never actually gone there before. Huh. Only now did he realize he hadn't gone many places... ever. That needed to change; he needed to learn more about the world outside Cour des Miracles.
A part of him thought for a moment before speaking next, considering his words carefully. “I think I may have heard of Inferni before. My father would probably know something about it.” Liam finally said. The last thing he wanted was to tell Jackson about his dad and put the King in danger. Not that Vigilante couldn't handle himself... Liam knew he could. And besides, Jackson looked harmless – especially in comparison to Liam's dad. After those short sentences Liam fell silent again, surveying the scenery with a watchful gaze.
Liam wasn't always so quiet. Usually he could be pretty chatty, actually. He just wasn't really good around strangers and often took time to warm up to those outside his pack. Adding the ordeal with Aniwaya and you had one paranoid wolf who just didn't know whether or not he could trust anyone at this point. It didn't matter though. Jackson was doing plenty of talking and it kept Liam's mind busy. After a few seconds in silence however, Liam noticed a couple more dark birds flying downwards towards the spot where the first raven had gone. Curiosity bubbled inside the pit of his stomach as he glanced back to Jackson briefly.
