Claudius maintained that there were no wolves by provided the names or descriptions, and he would have to continue to think like that if he wanted to convince this envoy of dark wolves. Claudius wondered how his mother had survived in a pack like this; he hoped that it was because of her inner goodness that she had left and not for some sort of other reason. He felt a sharp stab of bitterness when he thought back to his mother’s departure, and also, of Matteo and Gemma’s joining. They had assured him that their problems would not reflect on AniWaya. They had lied to him. Claudius detested liars.

Claudius nodded when the wolf indicated that he would leave. But before the wolf did, he loaded up the children and then turned to Claudius with one last word. Claudius nodded diplomatically, trying to play the part of the gracious host, as it was required of him, while still maintaining his dominance. This was AniWaya and these wolves were nothing here.

“Pe-r-haps… bu-ut pl-e-ease… remember… your… law… has… no… autho-r-r-rity… here. W-e-e-e are in-de-pe-e-e-endent… and wa-a-aging war… agai-ai-ainst… any pa-a-ack… for shelte-e-e-ering… these… law-brea-ea-eakers… would b-e-e-e wa-a-a-aging… war… just that. I ha-a-ave just seen the… end… of a war… and do not… want… to see… any… others… in my-y-y lifetime…” He explained this slowly, but patiently. “Even if… it is… someone else’s… war.” As he spoke, his expression grew more sombre and serious. Although his position as the leader of the AniWayans was only temporary, he took his duties very seriously and did not want to see any harm come to his friends, even ones who lied to him. He was not a spiteful or vindictive being, but he was a wolf and he believed very strongly in the laws and rules of one’s instincts. No matter what issue Alaki had with Matteo and Gemma, his pack had no jurisdiction and Claudius would not extradite those two wolves if it meant they would come to harm. [html]
