Despite was his dear niece may have thought, he did pull his fair share amongst the pack. Even if he didn’t piss on the borders as much as she did, he did hunt. He did not enter Willow Ridge with the intentions of laying around and being a lazy ass for the rest of his lifetime. The immaturity of his sister’s daughter was infuriating and he had to remind himself not to lose him temper. In the Torbine she would have never risen to power and if any of her threats were heard of, she surely would have been taught a lesson. Things had certainly been tense and Nico found that he truly did not have any allies within the pack. Morganna was truly an actress in its purest form, but the pack would soon regret that if they were left with nothing. The young girl did not know how to handle herself.

He needed to speak with his sister and he would when the time was right. But today he would be busy. He had been hunting by himself for once, to clear his head. Adele was understanding that he needed more time to himself now that he had taken on more duties. Firmly, within his jaws, he held a hare. Nico was grateful for the catch and made haste to deposit it to the caches. It was no sooner that a call from the borders alerted him, for Elettra and Angier. It was a shame but he knew that Willow Ridge had once held prestigious expectations. Now all it had was a crazy bitch and himself to lead.

He cleaned himself quickly to make him seem more presentable before making his way over there. Unsurprisingly, Morganna had beat him there, along with Greer. He had caught the end of Morganna’s questioning, also nonthreatening and familiar. The name that she muttered rang a bell and Nico assumed that he had heard it in passing. He would best assume that it was an ally. While he did not know much, he did know that he would make his presence known to Morganna to show that he had made him presence known. He came to stand by her shoulder, offering a brief nod of greeting to her and lifting himself equally to her, before turning his gaze towards the dark young man. Nico was certainly interesting in learning more about this Nina.

Upon his arrival, he could almost feel the tension radiating off the tainted Archers. The dark Archer basked in it. Let them suffer. Let them be miserable. Fools. Nicolò hoped they were uncomfortable. This meeting wasn’t about them, it was about the information that the dark young man in front of them had to bring. After his arrival, Wraith arrived and while their first meeting had gone somewhat smoothly, he would not go as far as to call them friends. After all, Morganna was the one to accept him and there was already some doubt in Nico’s mind in where the young man’s loyalties lie.

It wasn’t long before the dark boy in front of him, began to speak again and it was clear that while he was ready to give information, he wanted to give it to someone of importance. News of the shift in leadership had not made it to Secret Woodlands, unsurprising considering how busy they had been with unneeded tension. Perhaps, when things calmed down he would take a trip over there himself and acquaint himself with his sister’s friend. It was obvious important enough for the man to come seeking them out despite the distance that he mentioned. Morganna gave an answer, respectful enough, but Nico remained content to remained silent, his mind calculating. Either way, he would hear the news from the young man or his sister in the end, there was no use arguing.
