Slade was, to say the least, surprised by the female's actions. As her scent had revealed, she confirmed that she was new to the pack. He was slightly impressed that she was able to speak so casually; they had just met. She also offered him one of her rabbits, which he nodded gratefully for. He had been told that it was rude to eat in front of strangers when they weren't eating, but when she asked him to excuse her and took off her pelt he ducked down and began to eat. He was used to seeing naked Luperci running around, but if she was ashamed he wasn't going to stare, even if he did wonder exactly what the process of shifting looked like.
He was just starting to think that this rabbit was so warm and tasty, and that he might just be hungry enough to down another one, but her voice startled him again. Because he had been eating, it had only felt like a few seconds since the female had stood before him in a deerskin pelt. He looked up at her, noticing that she had shifted - it was a kind gesture, shifting for their convenience; most optimes just looked down at him when they talked, and while Slade wasn't offended he usually left those conversations with a sore neck - blood dripping from his muzzle. He wrapped his tongue around it, leaving a red stain, and spoke as prompted.
"I'm Slade, Slade Auctor." He paused for a moment, thinking of something to say, and simply settled on the obvious. "Thank you for the rabbit. It's really good." He glanced from Arwen to one of the three rabbits on the ground, not saying anything but silently asking, "Aren't you going to eat one so I'm not just standing here rudely eating in front of you?"
