Zalen listened intently as the large Knight spoke, apologizing for having missed them in their travels to the north. Zalen listlessly waved a hand, as if brushing aside Jazper’s words as no reason to apologize. By all accounts, New Dawn did not even exist until long after Casa di Cavalier had been founded. Jazper continued on to talk about the north asking if all was well there and mentioning that he himself had lived there as a pup. Zalen nodded, but his ear flicked a little warily. Though this dark male seemed genuine, Zalen was suddenly overcome by anxiety for the safety of his pack. It was not that he didn’t want them to come under the banner of friendship, if they chose to do so, but more and more packs now knew of their location, and Zalen had so been enjoying the safety afforded to them by anonymity.
Standing then less rigidly, Zalen placed the majority of his weight onto on leg, The north is well, Ichika is peaceful and the mountain range protects of from less than savory characters, He did not name Inferni or Salsola specifically, for this would be unwise in this situation, It is also removed from human dwellings and settlements, and is a wild place. This is what we had been searching for, for the members of New Dawn seek to be wolves and nothing else. He wondered if his cryptic explanation of their most sacred of cultural beliefs was something the male would understand, for based on his appearance, he much enjoyed the silver spoon of human-esque life.
But Zalen tried hard not to judge, just as he had tried very hard not to judge the humanistic qualities of Ichika, or that their male leader was a coyote. Acceptance and neutrality was often forced upon leadership, lest they wish to alienate all possible allies. Tell me, Zalen began, Have your efforts as peace keepers helped to stabilize relations between packs after the Aniwayan war? He cocked his head quizzically.
