@&#&$Her question brought a small frown to his face, though he quickly shook his head with resolution. "No--you recognise that he is not a wolf, but a monster." Though little in life was black and white, Haku had made it abundantly clear where he stood. Anselm refused to dignify the madman by thinking of him as one of their own--he was as much a bane to their species as a rabid mountain lion or bear. He wasn't one of them; Anselm doubted he ever had been. Real men did not slaughter innocents, turn on their own progeny, or deny mothers the right to their children. Haku was undeserving of sympathies usually extended to others of their own kind--he was instead a menace meant to be exterminated as quickly as possible.
@&#&$He certainly couldn't fault her for wanting to see him utterly crushed and destroyed (lest he be a hypocrite). Haku was so out of this world that Anselm wasn't sure he could persuade himself the sick beast was really gone short of corporal annihilation anyway. The scout was hardly superstitious, but Anselm would always wonder if some strange force might possess the man's corpse and use it to wreck havoc on their world once more unless they tore the Rosen's heart from his chest, his head from his shoulders, and the limbs from his body. If only he subscribed to the same beliefs as Gabriel, he'd be convinced that the blue-eyed demon had sold his soul to the devil--some binding eternal contract signed in blood. Ideally, at the end of this they'd set his body aflame and condemn him to whatever hell he'd gotten himself into.
@&#&$He nodded quickly as she spoke, keeping the time frame she'd quoted him in mind. He would give Kaena and Gabriel this estimate, as well. "Sounds like a plan," he offered simply. And with that, it seemed their risky little rendezvous was drawing to a close. The entire meeting had been remarkably efficient and he found his respect for the pale woman growing by the minute. She prepared to leave and he caught her eye. "Hey; good luck. Take care of yourself, all right?" he offered. She knew damn well what she was rushing into and he knew he couldn't be held accountable for any trouble she got into as a result of this little pact. He hadn't manipulated her any--she'd come here of her own accord and volunteered whatever services she could offer. That did not mean he wasn't concerned for her safety or that he didn't wish her well.
@&#&$It went beyond their mutual hatred for Haku, he thought; any ill-will he'd held toward her during the last war was now completely forgotten. She'd been but a child back then, perhaps a foolish one by his standards... but boy, had she grown up. Her eyes had been opened and he no longer doubted her perspective on the world. She was a capable ally, valuable for her connections to those members of the pack who were hesitant to accept Haku's decrees as just and truthful. He did not doubt she'd play some key role in the devil's downfall. Time alone could either confirm or deny his suspicions--as he watched her form retreat into the distance he let out a short call for the other two members of Inferni's powerful trinity. All's well, the call said, but there are matters to discuss once I return to the caves. With that, he turned away from the border and set off quickly for their territory's heart.
