He would find his fit, however long it took for him to do so. Hopefully, he was nearing the ending of all this looking around. That was what he hoped to do with the last of these meetings. Once he left here he would have to make his choice, and he was set to do that. He would think it over afterwards and decide on where he should be. He thinks he could do well here if that was where the path led him, but without the last bit of information he had asked for, he could not know for sure if this would be a fitting place in other regards. He had to see what the alpha had to say of it. At least he did like how the three stuck together at this point. The other two hadn't walked away by now, and that said quite a bit to him as well.

Yes, he did know a great deal about the other packs now, and some of it had been gathered in different ways than this. He liked to observe and listen, and it did him well. He would be able to discuss what he had found out with whichever alpha he decided to follow, should they want to know what he to offer in that regard. It was his aim to be different. to be better and know more, to know all that he could. That sort of thing could make all the difference in certain circumstances, and Iscariot wanted to be fully prepared for anything like that which came his way. And although he wanted to be within a pack as soon as possible, Iscariot liked the freedom he currently had in order to learn more of the other places. He kept at it while he could, but he hoped it would give him all he needed to know for his choice.

Honesty and blunt were good things to be in Iscariot's opinion, and there wasn't any bad to being also practical. A good leader should be this when situations called for it. If a leader could not answer his questions, or would not, then they probably had something to hide, and that was never a good sign. It often meant there was something bad about to, or already going down. Iscariot wasn't interested in being dragged into a war he knew nothing about. He would stand with his chosen pack if that were to ever occur, of course, but he wasn't the type to rush right into one without knowing why it was happening. So far, however, it did seem like the packs were mostly at peace. He had heard things about Taviora and the 'beast' (not his words) Tobias, but otherwise all seemed mostly peaceful.

It was good to hear his traits were needed and valued here, and he understood the meaning of them and pondered what he knew thus far. Then he was attentive again when she started to speak on what he assumed was a name of a rank, then another one. He doesn't know where they place to this pack, but he does tuck it into his mind for later thought, giving her a slight nod of his head. Soon enough she was answering what he had asked, and he finds that he approves of how she's ordered things. It makes sense to him on a few levels he wasn't commenting on now, and that was enough to know that part had been passed. Interesting that she would share the other part about family and friendship, though. It makes him wonder.

The spin she puts on the next answer is different enough as to hold his attention, but not in a bad way. It wasn't quite the usual answer, and he was curious about that. Then there was more said, and Iscariot liked how she viewed the ideal of children. It made him feel better and think highly of her to know that parents like he'd had wouldn't be well liked if they tried such things here. Maybe that hit him the hardest here, and he found he couldn't shake the feeling. It made him think more as how she had taken this pack instead of one of the others, knowing it's history and stigma, not believing in those things, and still proving to be that good change she wanted to see in the world here. That really meant something, now that he had more time to let it all sink in.

But she wasn't done speaking, and he didn't let his focus waver from her. There was nothing at all wrong with what she was saying, and already Iscariot had quite a respect for her. For what she was trying to do here with this pack. This meeting had really made a difference to him, and he finally nods to her. "I want you to know, however this ends, that I respect what you are doing for this pack. Wiping away the stigma of what all of this has been in the past will be no quick feat, and I'm glad someone has the backbone to do it. I hope it becomes all of the things you want to build it to be." A pause, a breath. "Thank you for enlightening me about your pack and the overall goal. It may be the best cause any of the alphas here have. However, I must go and decide where I will end up. Farewell, for now." He dipped his head respectfully to her and started on his way.
