arcturus expected something reactionary from his words - they had not necessarily been friendly.. frankly, they were douchey.. but in arcturus' defense, his family meant everything to him and he was always very tight-lipped about his life with strangers. ira just happened to be no exception.

she seemed perfectly malleable to his curtness, offering an apology when it should have been him to do so. he knew he ought to apologize, but his throat caught and he did not. it was his family, and he was perfectly justified to be mum, right?

right.

the way ira restructured her question earned her a long, hard, stare. it was exactly the same kind of question before, wasn't it? did she think he was stupid..? he shifted, ready to ask that -- but then he realized since she was guiding korei julia, that she was just trying to make pleasant conversation."it's a pack." he shrugged, scowling. "like any other pack. has alphas.. betas... omegas.." he thought of speedy, his gaze narrowing. "why are you asking me? are you going to measure what i say about it against what korei says about it? i'm sure she's told you everything." arcturus finished bitterly, crossing his paws with a cold motion.
