Nikan was tense as Zula spoke though he breathed out a bit in relief. She followed his instructions, she said as she was told, this may work out after all. What he would do after that was beyond him, she would become a packmate and therefore something useful in Kelina's eyes, he couldn't nescessarily off her or torture her could he? Maybe the latter could be done sparingly. He met Zula's gaze and nodded once, his gaze showing that she'd done well in a moment of softening before Kelina spoke and his gaze snapped toward her.

This beautiful woman here wooed me upon our first meeting"he forced the warmth in his tone but kept it subtle, making it sound real. Oh he was a good actor, perhaps he could be used to spy and infiltrate as well. The conversation turned back to between the two females and he let it, settling back on his haunches.
