He didn't know a lot of wolves in Taviora now that he'd taken some time away but he was willing to learn about all of them in due time. At least through his connection with Zelda, he would get her input on most if not all of the wolves to know who she trusts and who she knows the most about. Alistair was spoken highly of and that meant a lot to Dexter. He may not be as familiar with Zelda as he is with other members of his family but he wanted to change that. Alistair was a hard to read kind of wolf but that didn't make him any less trustworthy in Dexter's opinion. He wanted to explain his own thoughts on the matter as carefully as possible so Alistair would see that though he had personal motives in this quest, he was to be trusted as well. He couldn't be totally unbiased in his opinions once they found out more information but he could be trusted not to let his emotions get the best of him. He knew better than to be hasty with any decisions when it came to packs and alliances. Eden would not be an easy ally to lose if it came down to that so he wouldn't dare to make a decision like that. That would ultimately be Zelda's choice and he wanted to keep her updated throughout their trek, sure that Alistair would agree. Alistair made a noise that could only be agreement when he mentioned the information being brought forward and Dexter could see that he wasn't against anything he said so far. It seemed they were pretty much along the same wavelength in this and that was a good way to be for two wolves teaming up for the same objectives.

He was sure they both had skills they could bring to the table in this. He was a hunter and a killer but he was also a thinker. He put deep thought into every killer he chose to victimize and he always wanted to know how they thought, what drove them, before their downfall. I guess you could say he knew a little bit about psychology from all the hunts. He knew it was never so black and white why someone decided to go on a killing spree. Usually something would trigger it and it would go from there or they would carefully calculate each kill. Nothing was ever random. Some might lose their minds and have no true connection to their victims but even then there was a pattern. They chose the weak ones because it was little to no risk at retaliation or no one would miss them. Maybe it reminded them of someone they once knew that they felt was weak too. Maybe it was someone that wouldn't be missed. Somehow, someway, it had some motivation behind it. He could see the surprise in Alistair's eyes when he told him his relation to Amoxtli but then he could almost see the wheels turning in Alistair's head. He must be calculating all the different outcomes that could come of this information but in the end, Dexter didn't see too much protest against them going forward with the plan. Seems he was trusting Dexter to do his part no matter his personal attachment and that's exactly what he would do.

He did feel indebted to Alistair for all that he had found. Otherwise Dexter would have had to get Amoxtli to take him to the site of the carcass which was of course long gone and try to sniff out some clue. It would be long and tedious and he might have hit a dead end right there. But Alistair had gotten a lead and gone with it and given Dexter a good lead, something he might have never gotten. Now they had a chance to bring his brother justice and he was forever grateful. He listened carefully as Alistair spoke of securing an alliance and a wolf called Solaris. It seemed Alistair wasn't quite sure what to think of Solaris and that hit a nerve with Dexter. He trusted Alistair already enough to trust his judgement about other wolves. If this wolf didn't quite set right with him, there was probably a good reason why. He nodded.

"Is this Solaris wolf still around? He might be worth talking to."

He wondered what Alistair would think of that. It seems they had a connection already so perhaps he would just let Alistair seek him out and then just get back to him if he found out anything. He nodded in agreement when Alistair said that Eden would probably have a good story by now. He let out his breath in a soft sigh.

"Yes, he probably does have alibis and everything by now and we would have no way to dispute any of it, this long after."

It sucked but they would have to work around it. He also understood what Alistair meant when he said that Eden might seek to use his own connection to Amoxtli as a face if they didn't have sufficient evidence before they brought it forward.

"Agreed. I won't let him question the investigation or Zelda's judgement by putting me on this case with you. We will get enough evidence so that there is no doubt before it comes into the open."

He nodded again when Alistair said that Eden was a powerful enemy. Yes, it would seem that Eden has made quite the name for himself in Moladian and he's not a weakling by any means. It would be better to go about this quietly so they would do that as long as they could. His ears pricked toward Alistair, eyes bright and responsive.

"So, where do you want to start first? This was your hunch so your lead is my command."
