Weldering kenw nothing of the struggles of power within the walls of the previously named Hidden Tree Pack. He was aware of the fire that had killed the leading couple and that perhaps other had perished too, Junai had not been that specific to the death toll. Right now this conversation was doing quite the opposite for this young adventurous male. Another pack that he did not know about was an opportunity and one he would not ignore so quickly. He wanted to know more and he knew that Ruiko had more information to share, he must have done.


Ruiko had lived these lands for years as well, so had Indru and the others. This was the first time that Weldering had heard about another wolf in these lands not in the Tainn family that was living here. <b style="color:#0d5b8c; font-family:geogia; font-size:13px">"You must know him then if he has lived in Relic Lore for years, what is he like? A good leader?" He questioned. <b style="color:#0d5b8c; font-family:geogia; font-size:13px">"Do you know anything about the pack?"

Ruiko gave a light flick of his tail, his eyes studying the other wolf with a stoical mask as the dark male continued to demand answers that the Tainn wolf simply did not want to delve in to. He did not want to discuss the matters of his uncle; of how the death of his sister and his nephew’s rise to power had made him decide that home was now elsewhere. Blinking in response, Ruiko only gave a half-hearted lift of his shoulders as a shrug. “All I know of the pack is that he leads it. Nothing else.” There was a finality in his tone about the subject – if Weldering was going to continue to pry his nose in the wrong places, Ruiko was simply going to bite it off.


“The best way to get your questions answered would be to talk to him yourself,” he drawled, his muzzle giving a nod in the direction of the mountain. After all, had it been him looking for a pack or home, he would have wanted to meet the leader himself rather than musing potentials with a stranger.

Weldering did mean to come across as being rude. The problem was that he already knew much about Swift River and also had little interest in it due to Indru's presence there. Ruiko and his lack of enthusiasm was not proving much use either doubting they could even pull off a random conversation about something trivial like the weather or what not. Maybe it was because Weldering was a lone wolf, he thought to himself. He was gradually getting the impression that the Tainn kin all hated lone wolves for some unknown reason. Watching the other brute shrug and using his muzzle to point towards the mountain he was beginning to get the hint, it was his cue to leave.


<b style="color:#0d5b8c; font-family:geogia; font-size:13px">"Well thank you for your time Ruiko." Dipping his own maw respectfully and armed with the information of where this new pack was and the name of the Alpha he turned around cautiously and slowly setting off towards the Dire Mountain.
