Despite what the currently light-hearted Bane believed, Athan did not seem too want to allow Bane to join them just yet. He sighed, stopping his advance before it even started to turn his glare to Athan once again. "Bane, a pleasure... he said somewhat reluctantly, "tell me, how do you expect to survive the long winter all on your own??" he asked looking at Athan with the purest are-you-serious expression you could ever  find as if truly asking the other male to show him how much of a failure his attempt at it would be. "You two look like you could use the help... And to be honest it would come in handy to me as well," he finished, laying out the cards and giving the male his chance to do what was best for all of them. If he chose to go his way Bane was confident in his ability to find a way to get through the cold nights. He was a survivor, and Arctic beast.
