Kaitou | Kai | Male | Mexican Grey X Timber | Beta
"How would I ever hope to build a pack if I'm always attacking first and asking questions later?"Simple logic. That was all it was. And Kaitou had overlooked it and said what he did. The large male's mind became a muddle of confusion for a moment, as he buried the slight feel of shame that came from his careless comment and the obvious answer from the dark alpha. But that was only for a moment, and Kaitou's attention was back on the alpha in the next moment.
"If I treated you with the manners my mother taught me as a pup, I'd be telling you to get away from me you stinking sack of fur!"'A stinking sack of fur, eh.' chuckled the tricoloured male inwardly. The alpha's words made him wonder about his past, although Kaitou didn't worry much about it, instead concentrating on the dark male's next words. Everyone had a past that they were unwilling to reveal to others - Kaitou himself was no exception - and the large male guessed that his alpha was probably the same. He would listen if his alpha decided to tell him about his past, but he would make no move to ask about it otherwise.
"However, I am nothing like my family, so instead I will treat you with the manners you've shown me. I am called Demon's Pride, although you may just call me Pride."The dark male's first words set a small grin on the tricoloured wolf's maw, his brown eyes twinkling slightly with amusement. His manners weren't the most exceptionally good. In fact, one could say that his manners were bad to the point of rudeness, due to him always forgetting to introduce himself either until the other party introduced themselves, or when he finally remembered.
"Nice to meet you, Pride." Kaitou murmured the customary reply, before moving on quickly to the new topic which the alpha had started.
"Now that that's taken care of, if you'd like, I can show you to the pack den? It isn't much, but it is more sheltered than here and the cold doesn't really permeate the thicket all too badly.""That sounds good." the male replied with a nod of his head. He wasn't cold - his thick fur made sure of that - but he greatly needed a walk after sitting down for so long. Stretching his cold-stiffened limbs as he slowly got to his feet - or paws - Kaitou barked,
"Lead the way, Pri-...". His words trailed off, however, as a slow wind picked up, sending the scent of a nearby she-wolf into his nostrils.
Immediately, the large male crouched in preparation to spring, facing the direction where the scent was coming from, lips pulled back and revealing the sharp ivory fangs that rested in his jaws.
"I know you're there. Cease your hiding and come out!" Kaitou snarled. In less than minute, the calm wolf who had agreed to join Pride's pack as a beta was transformed into a snarling demon, hackles raised, fur bristling, and tail held high - though not as high as the alpha's - as he faced the unknown intruder.
