Cedar Sweep Plus One

Nico cocked his head thoughtfully when Charley explained that Golden Glade was wedged between a mountain and a plateau and that there were tunnels deep within the mountain and that the most important meetings were held there. He nodded then, it made quite a lot of sense for meetings to be held in a tunnel, but, if there was to be an ambush, the chances of them escaping were probably quite low. He didn't voice that thought, however, but continued to listen to the Pryor explaining why the rules were as such. Aspen, whom Nicolas assumed was his mate, and Charley had discussed it and decided that only those with proven loyalty were allowed to know the details of everything.

      He was quick to assure the winter wolf, however, that rest assured, the Gentry (whom he'd named mentally in his head as the 'Privates' to make it easier, somewhat) were not kept in the dark. They would know everything once the meetings were over which was fine for him, given the fact that he was planning on getting into the Inner Circle as fast as bloody possible. "You have fine ideals, mate," he informed Charley with an approving nod but said nothing else on that matter, for his mind was already on the next subject: specialist ranks.

      "Okay," Nico said, "but, if you hold a Specialty rank, does that mean you can also hold an Inner Circle rank? For example, can a wolf be both the Knight and the General?" he asked, because that had been bothering him for quite a long time and it was starting to get on his nerves. Nicolas was a wolf who liked to understand everything he'd been told, and when he didn't, well, let's just say he could be a very grumpy soldier indeed.
