Oh alpha, dearest alpha. What on earth is going on in that head of yours? I can see it swimming in those violet eyes of his, so many thoughts. I had watched him size me up, though I was guilty of the same sin; Hell, all testosterone filled males did this and if they say they don't, they're fucking lying and you should call them out for bullshit right then and there. He looked like he was trying to pull me apart and put me back together again like a puzzle. Though he'd never find anything in my molten gaze. After all, what kind of gangster would I have been if I couldn't hold my own in a little stare down? But atleast I had his interest, time to sink the hook in and pull him into my paws.
Finally the alpha sat down with me, wouldn't want to be rude to your guest, eh? He flashed me an obligatory smile. So my words had not amused him in anyway, like I gave a damn. Much like him, I was here on business, but I was also testing his worth as king. I wondered how long he'd beat around the bush with my words, or if he'd get straight to the point. Though the result would not sway my decision, I was here to stay regardless of what he thought about me or I of him. I'd shout it from the heaven's if I had to, let it be known I had joined Glorall. Honey, i'm home!
"You're even more so in luck; it seems I overestimated my hunger. Take it, if you would like. Otherwise I am sure the crows are eager for it." he said with a nonchalant shrug, shifting the carcass with his paw ever closer to me. He averted his eyes in an uncaring manner, and I truly knew he did not care what I decided here. I shrugged as well and gently reached out with my paw to pull the carcass closer to me, giving him a "thankful" smile. Taking it could buy me some time to speak with this oh so busy wolf. I wasn't truly hungry, but I did have manners. He was being a gracious host, might as well take the free food. All the better for me. I didn't eat it though, that would be rude and rude would come later.
My eyes sparked with satisfaction as my words dragged his attention back towards me. I received a curious stare. Perfect. What I had said was a lie. I had heard very little of Glorall, which was my main reason for coming and scouting it out (I still wished to join all the same.) You see the forests actually spoke of two rival packs, the angels and the demons. The angels had their noses held to high for my liking, while the demons had this unhealthy obsession with wolves of white; what was wrong with white? I thought I was quite the handsome devil thank you very much. But they'd have probably attacked me like the fucking psychos they are, someone really aught to get them checked out for some brain damage.
"And what do the woods say of you?" he asked. He may have been stifling a smirk but I didn't hide mine. "These woods don't have the pleasure of hearing my stories i'm afraid. Though, ask the ones from whence I came and you'll get an ear full," I said coolly. I hoped to spark something in him, something that would make him pursue my past. Not now of course, but eventually he'd want to know just what I had so deliberately brought up. Would he suspect I lived in a gang? Of all the things I had done? No way in Hell. But at least I could keep him guessing till I decided to let him in.
"We are not a pack of fodder. Everyone has their use - what is yours, stranger?" He said emphasizing stranger. He wanted to know my name, how cute. It's almost like when you made new friends as a pup! Oh wait, the friends I made I ended up killing. Opps. " Stranger is such a bland title, I much prefer Vadik," I said with a slight smirk. I did like to talk, I hope he didn't mind. Of course if he did, I didn't care. "I am, what you would call, a soldier. Born and raised to follow orders. (another little nibble to tempt whatever curiosity hid in those violet eyes.) My use? To protect these lands and the lives that reside within it," I stated, a serious, hungry fire burning in my eyes. I wanted this, I needed this. I was aware i'd have to prove my worth, any sensible pack would ask that of me. But i'd be damned if I didn't get what I wanted. I'd ascend these ranks, prove my worth my walking through Hell and back if I had to.
