The strong survive [J]

He did not understand the reason behind why all these lone wolves wished to express minimal submission. It earned them fewer points than outright defiance if only because it suggested they were fully aware of what they should do... and were simply stubborn about doing it. His snarl deepened as he asserted himself, moving in tandem with Tonravik as she stepped forward to remind this newcomer of his place. If this white wolf did not comply soon, he'd find his place was certainly not here.

And definitely not with such blunt words. Such... observations were better left for later negotiations or simply not at all in this first meeting. It was in poor favor to criticize the choices of one who was about to decide their own fate. Kero's snarl re-bloomed within his chest as he began to pace and draw a tight circle around this new wolf as Tonravik returned a few brief words in reply. If this wolf wanted soldiers to tend to the "heavier" tasks, Iqniq took no issue in introducing this one to his teeth. Certainly he would find what he'd requested beneath the swift puncture of his fangs.

He completed his circle and fixed himself back by Tonravik's side, opposite of where he'd started. She'd met with this wolf first. He had no issue in playing the role of support so as not to make this process any more painful than it already was. Her question was valid and succinct. Until they'd made a decision about this wolf, the conversation would be one sided. He would talk. They would listen and ask questions as needed. Then he'd talk again. And so on until they could decide his fate.
