The Sunspire As close as strangers

Rueger instantly disagreed with her statement, but wasn't as quick to say so. He didn't want to upset her, of course, but he also wasn't usually one to hold back. So, he choose his words wisely. You would be surprised what you are capable of when your life is on the line. His tone was light, to keep the air between them easy, but his words still had weight to them. Most thought they couldn't do anything, but when it came down to it, most wolves would do anything to save themselves from death.

He found himself agreeing with her next statement. Rueger wasn't sure if he was suited to leadership life, but he also didn't shy away from responsibility. Do you regret your position? he asked boldly, wondering if she would choose to let others take that responsibility, or if she liked taking it on.

She asked what brought him here, and he responded. I've been on my own a couple months now, and decided I'm tired of small game, he said honestly with a grin. My last pack had a change of leadership that I couldn't get on board with, he added, figuring that was something she might want to know. Rueger wasn't a disloyal wolf, but there were standards he lived by, and certain things he simply couldn't get behind.
