Golden Glade The Strength Within

"Of course you were," Nico smiled vaguely, scanning his surroundings with narrowed eyes. Even if he wasn't by the borders, exactly, the possibility of an intruder hiding inside the packlands were always possible, however slim, and he didn't want that to happen, especially not so close right after the pack had just become official. After doing a brief scan, he turned his attention back to Shalon, a small smile playing idly on his lips as he cocked his head, regarding her with mild curiousity.

Shalon proposed a friendly spar between the two of them, to get to know each other's strength and weaknesses. His gaze narrowed ever so slightly for a moment. While he liked a spar now and then, he wasn't so sure about it this time simply because he knew that he was going to be leaving the pack soon and while Nico knew that he couldn't refuse the spar without looking suspicious, he was rather hesitant about showing his weaknesses to a potential enemy in the future. However much he hated that idea, he knew that it was a possibility and was already calculating the odds.

Little did Nico know that the violent female Shalon was talking about was the girl he planned to leave the pack for.

After a moment of careful thinking, Nico decided that he would spar with Shalon, but he wouldn't try his best because he couldn't afford showing her any of his weaknesses despite them currently being packmates. After all, who knew what could happen in the future? So, the sterling soldier flashed her one of his killer bad boy smiles and a wink, "Sure, Shalon," he said, stretching his muscles and shifting easily into his typical combative stance.
