Overture Downs Burning Off Some Steam

Howl was somewhat surprised to here that Ezekiel had a similar upbringing to Howl's. His family had been in many wars but they were always on the defence rather then the offensive. The fack that Ezekiel said they were trained to be warriors and that weak members were fodder made Howl think that his former pack was on the offensive. Though the fact that Ezekiel had chosen to leave that pack made Howl think that is ideals may be different then his former pack. 

"My parents were also the leader of my pack, but we were defensive on all occasions against an offensive. Sadly we were losing numbers and my parents strongly advised me to seek happiness else where. Almost against my will really." he said with a chuckle. He did miss his parents, but knew that they only wanted what was best for him.
