Moonspear Definitely a time gap

i expected resistance and/or drama in some form at some point though somehow not in this combination. xD i am enjoying this thread though. :D

Tail twitched tensely while Charon continued to lock eye contact. Neither seemed willing to back off, and Charon certainly wasn't — to leave now would be to give in to this wolf. When he so boldly spoke, Charon wondered if there was any chance that this would not lead into a physical confrontation. His muscles tensed, ready for a fight even though he preferred not to have to.

Charon snorted at Nishu's words. Though he had not answered the questions Charon had posed about a rank challenge and Ame, his words did in some manner. They were enough answer to elicit a low growl from the yearling, anyway. "Oh, like anyone would follow you," he spat derisively. "Experience and knowledge can be taught, but that blatant disrespect and idiocy's probably gonna stick to you the rest of your fucking life. It's wolves like you whose egos are too big to take pack hierarchy that are a threat to a pack." All the while Charon kept his eyes locked on Nishu, though he was forgetting who was making eye contact with who now — it was probably a two-way thing. His fur remained puffed up, tail and head high and body ready for a confrontation if it would find him; something that, to Charon, seemed inevitable at this point. He did not initiate it however, preferring to solve rank conflicts by being the bigger wolf some way or another.

Perhaps Charon would've been able to hold back and actually be the bigger wolf if Nishu hadn't traipsed on exactly his sore spots, and he could've just shut up and let things be as they were, accepting that Nishu and he just weren't compatible — And if Charon was not convinced that Nishu intended to take his Alpha spot and Ame. In the spur of the moment he didn't even consider why he felt so irrationally possessive over Ame. The thought of Nishu taking everything he'd worked so hard for infuriated the young Alpha. "Just because Ame's out of your league and she didn't pick you to lead a pack with doesn't give you the right to be a first class asshole, y'know. If you're just going to sit here weakening this pack by being a dick then feel free to find your own food and warmth this winter." Charon's tone was haughty; it was clear that he fancied himself a great deal more mature and better in any sort of way than Nishu. If he considered himself a knight especially Charon wasn't impressed. Perhaps all Charon knew was stuff from stories, but he was pretty sure that this wasn't knightly behaviour in the least.
