It was the meeting of their gazes that caused Arturo's lips to curl back over his teeth in a silent warning. Though as far as Dakarai (or any Comhlach really) knew Furiosa was the big bad in charge (indeed she was a big bad in charge) but all of The Family was of rank whereas the Comhlach were not ranked and the gangster had never taken the meet of someone's gaze to his as overly well (lest he thought them his equal or they were his children). He showed no excessive dominance, simply the wordless warning for Dakarai to remember that Olive's status among The Family had no conjunction to his own. Until he did as Arturo had asked he was an associate and Olive's status could not and would not help to elevate him into their fold. Though Arturo had not asked he was met with an explanation of Dakarai's presence upon the borders. Nevertheless the gangster accepted it with a stoic nod of his head.

Knowledge was power and thus Arturo could not truly pass up an opportunity to glean it. Besides, to become one of The Family knowledge of one another was a key part of it. Of course, they all had their little secrets: Arturo himself was not guiltless in this. Mostly his “secrets” considered his love life but as he did not feel that truly concerned The Family in any capacity (expect perhaps in the matter of his happiness) he did not feel so inclined to share it with them. Yet. When he courted Lotte for real, of course, they would know. Until then, when his grand romantic notions of courting were little more than just ideals he kept his scarfed to be sought gangster queen mummer his business as much as he could.

“Then let us walk,” Arturo encouraged with a gesture of his muzzle. “And let us talk. Man to man.” Would they have been human Arturo would have offered the exchange of information over a pint or two of ale but about all he could offer (as they were not humans and instead wolves) was a small hunt after but given Dakarai's still healing condition that didn't seem like a overly good idea.
