Rhysis remained silent at his side, but that did not mean the male was content with the situation. He could feel that his ebony pack mate was put off by the stranger, and could only imagine by how much.. he had yet to truly grow to know the newest pack member.
The stranger’s words were taken in to consideration, and for a swift moment, the alabaster wolf offered a small nod in agreement. Yes, a chance was the only true way to overcome estrangement. And before he could touch on this agreement, the swarthy rogue continued.. and perhaps at that point, took it too far.
Bristling at small threat, the Argyris male drew up higher now, one fang slipping past his lips in a quiet growl. He did not take kindly to threats, no matter how subtle they were, nor did he miss the implication of stealing.. and how if Phineas did not accept him, the man could do so from another pack.
With only two packs in the area, just who would he steal from?
“I see,” he rumbled now, withholding the smallest smirk. “If that’s your way of implying that you’ll steal our resources for this other pack if we turn you away.. by all means,” he murmured, taking a small sidestep and nodding in the direction of his home – the sardonic implication was there, and the swarthy brute would be stopped before he even got a tail length toward Magnolia Glen. “I dare you to try. My pack does not fear you. Nor do they fear another pack.” There was a small pause as he shifted his weight then, his muzzle tipping to bump to Rhysis, queuing him. They were done here. “Leave these lands. I don’t take kindly to threats and I will not take food from my pack for your meaningless survival.”
