I wasn't sure where Niro was coming from, so I left it vague, but as a side note: if he came from the southern parts, where there are no mountains, his voice wouldn't echo in either the forest or at the beach as it needs a very solid surface to echo off of.
After his night with Naniko, his mind had left him — why had he been so ignorant as to truly express beliefs to her? What sort of disease had overtaken him? What was wrong with him? It didn't matter now, the words had been said and it was too late to retract them, but it still left the hulking man with feelings of discomfort in his chest. There was a level of trust between the white Angela and her black Tuyul that he had broached with simple speech. What a fool he was to show what little of a softer side remained in the muscular shell crafted by the Tribunal. What a fool indeed.
His thoughts were jerked out of his head at the sound of another in the distance — someone else wanting to live within the mountains? Didn't they have enough? But it was Naniko's will that they were tended to, and in her condition he had no desire to see her working. Again, as he had so frequently in the past month (despite the presence of ranked warriors and the original presence of a 'subleader' — a term he still didn't understand), he made his way toward the sound with all of the empty apathy he usually carried. What he found was surprising — instead of a female, as it had been frequently in the past, there was grey male, and this one smelled heavily of pack life. Red eyes narrowed subtly on the figure of the man, body nearing without caution.
"Who are you and what do you need." Straight, to the point, with all the emotion of a pet rock. He hadn't seen any visitors in some time, and his curiosity got the better of him as he came to a halt and crossed his arms, staring downard at the smaller wolf. "You're at Anathema's borders -- this better be important."
