Going from one to another took time, and Riot really wished that he could cut back on all the time he spent in doing this, but he also knew for the best results, he needed to hold firm in what he had been doing. Still was doing. Soon he would be done with all the preliminaries, and he could make his choice from there on out. But how long would that take? There was no real telling how it all would end, except that he would be in the pack that was the most fitting for himself, the one he could help prosper with and go forward. Riot was willing to put a lot of time and effort into whatever pack he decided on, a lot of work to get to where he needed to be within it. And if he could make the pack rise up in any way, then Riot would do his best to see to that, too.

He was considering a few, but yes. He had writted off Diveen because of his childhood there, the uneasy feeling that the pack caused him to feel when he was there. Because he had ventured over, had faced his misgivings of it because he needed to prove that to himself. That he could overcome all of those things to better himself. That was the only one completely off the list, though the one under Jaidah -- Asteraia -- didn't have a lot of hope attached to it. Riot hadn't approved of the mind games that the alpha tried to play with him. He had no time for such frivolous things, and wanted no part in a place meant for those that weren't 'faint of heart' or whatever crap the alpha was feeding others. Riot may not be faint of heart by any means, but the general idea of that seemed hinky.

Iromar had good vibes, despite the fact that they had once believed themselves to be demons. The new alpha wasn't playing those games, and Riot approved of that. Approved of the new direction that she was taking the pack in. He might not be fully sure that the stigma was going to wash away so soon, and it looked as if the upper ranks were all females... otherwise it looked good. There was yet more to be known of it, however. Riot was taking his time and letting them have a breather from his questions. There would probably be one more trip there afterwards to get a little more information, but all in due time. He could not neglect the other packs, because they all deserved a fair shot. Or as fair as he was giving.

Soon enough, Dexter was speaking and Riot was listening attentively to what was being said of the ranks. The names of them and a genral idea of what they were for and what they did, and who held the rank thus far. Most of those ranks seemed to be all filled up already, and this caused Riot to feel a little down at the prospect of this pack for that reason. It sounded knit in where everything was by how they were all being spoken of, and Riot knew in such cases that to upsurp someone in that way might only make things undesirable for him. Riot did not want those kinds of problems. Too family-oriented packs rank-wise was never a great thing for the newer recruits, and Riot needed to keep that in mind when thinking of this pack in general.

He wasn't much of a warrior when it came down to it. He could fight well enough, but that wasn't where his passion lay. And if he didn't like his job enough, he wasn't going to give himself to the pack in his fullest capacity, and that would be such a waste. Riot did not like wasteful, and certainly not when it came to his own capabilities being wasted. No, that would not do, would not do at all. He wasn't bored with all the talk; he soaked it all in. There was no need to worry on that one, not at all. Any information was good information to be stored for a later time. Never knew when it would be needed for something, and Riot liked having more knowledge. It was a type of power, after all. Having the right kind in the right moment? Yes indeed.

Riot did not know how he felt on the subject on the star gazer idea, either. Seemed a bit far fetched, just like the whole angel and demon thing, and it was comforting to know that at least this male -- the Stillwing -- didn't fully believe in the idea either. Made Riot wonder more about the alpha and the views that were had of that wolf. There was more said on it, on the alpha, Coza, being all about the needs of the pack and not himself. Cared about the main roles the pack needed for surviving; and some odd ones if the gazer was included. Failing in any made one fail their pack? Now that.. was concerning. Riot had little intention of being big in battle, and if that meant being put in one and losing made him a failure to the pack.. Not good.

When the wolf asked him if he had any questions, Riot figured he had all he really needed right now of this pack's information. So he shook his head at Dexter. "No, I think you covered everything I needed to know that you could cover. Thank you for being so informative. Most don't really go into any detail, which can be confusing for a prospect member. I'm not sure this is the right pack for me, however." He responds, giving Dexter a dip of his head. But, Riot supposed that he had decided this wasn't the pack for him, and that narrowed things down a bit. Probably time to be going..
