She was quick to correct his thinking and quicker to elaborate on what had gotten lost in translation. It seemed this pack was of decent merit and something of a family affair. As most were. Kero nodded, taking the words at face value if only because opinions were so often slanted. If he had any interest in discovering the truth behind those words, he'd likely have to join this pack and discover for himself what their loyalties looked like.

He would not wander from that course nor push his luck any further. 

"I appreciate your humoring me," he said, pawing the rabbit at his toes. "This pack suits you." He lowered his head above the half eaten corpse and paused. "Another time, perhaps, but for now I'll get out of your hair." He scooped up the rabbit and was on his way.
