Zalen was quite surprised when he saw Vesper appear, and despite her being a yote he had pretty much accepted her and wagged his tail at her arrival. Soon after her in slinked another dark male who remained silent as Vesper acknowledge her willingness to help. Then Drizzt raised his sword and eloquently pledged himself to Noir’s cause and Zalen felt a fire start up in his belly.
Finally he had a purpose, finally he had something to fight for. But he couldn’t help but notice that one particular wolfess was not present, and this worried him. Where was Lucia? She had told him upon their last meeting that she also had been approached by the mysterious Noir and Zalen was glad that he would have her by his side in whatever was to happen to them. But she was absent, and this made him sad.
Noir spoke again, saying that her enemies were now theirs and Zalen suddenly became a little uncomfortable with the whole situation. She also called upon the dark newcomer and Zalen quickly glanced back at the crimson stained wolf, wondering if he would speak.
