He answered his question, response much more elaborate than his own and providing him with the information he had been seeking. Definitely not a founding member then. He had not abandoned Nina and perhaps there was a potential ally within Eirian. Yuka wouldn't find out that day though, it was still too soon. He could not risk blowing his cover, especially with his mother gone. He did not want to keep the other man from his other duties. In Whisper Caverns, Ash always had plenty to do and while he always made time for Yuka, the man knew that the duties of an alpha were usually non-stop.
Doing his best to crack a smile, though the deformed part of his lip did not move, which was awkward all around. He finally spoke, "Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today, I appreciate it. I won't take any more of your time, sir." Nodding his head in respect towards the elder, he moved on into the pack borders. He knew that needed to proceed more carefully now. Eventually, something would have to give. He just hoped that whatever that something was would benefit him.
