Next up was a puppy that Ares didn't recognize (although if he knew that it was partly because of her that Tokyo was forbidden from Crimson Dreams, he would have majorly loved the kid) who pressed up against the male who was there before him. Flayra came out from the manor, then a stranger of a young girl (Mati's age - did she have a sister?). Jazper, with a nod towards the adolescent boy, and then a strange white male with a puppy. Ares wasn't doing too bad. He'd met.. three out of nine, four out of ten if you counted the absent Mati. Although if you counted absentees, he'd have to know how many people weren't present, which he didn't. So he'd stick to 33%. Not a bad percentage, and he was proud of how quickly the math came to him. Yeah, he was pro like that.
Savina started speaking.
Oh, wow... Drugs. And it seemed Mati was inside, then. Caring for the poor puppy (his mind instantly categorized the unknown Cambria as a puppy, even though a daughter could easily be full grown as well). A bit of warmth flickered in him, a complex combination of odd pride and appreciation for the selflessness Mati was showing by helping out the pack. It was sort of weird, he didn't understand it, so he shook his head and tried to focus on what else Savina was saying. Shit, he actually missed part of what she was saying in his own blip of distraction. Naniko was on drugs, Mati was inside, and then Savina and Anu had to make a decision. No use worrying about what he missed, else he might miss further trying to remember. The important part was coming now, anyway, he could tell by her tone. Oh, yeah.. That was big. Ish. Naniko was no longer commander. Well, Ares supposed it would be big to those who knew her and swore loyalty to her, but he honestly didn't care that much beyond the fact that it seemed to be upsetting most people around him. He joined the pack under Savina's permission. She was his leader, for all intents and purposes, this changed nothin'.
No one was talking, and it unnerved him. If it unnerved him, who had next to nothing at stake here, a brief flash of empathy made him realize the silence probably sucked pretty hard for Savina, as well. So he spoke, voicing a piece of his own internal monologue. "I'm sorry to hear that this sort of thing happened.. but I trust that you two made the right decision. You'll be a good Commander, Savina." Of course his initial impression of her, strong and stately, an elegant female demanding respect and obedience, was what he was basing his bold claim mostly upon.
