Firestone Hot Springs sitting on a secret beach

Nodding he confirmed that it was. He held back speaking for a moment instead letting that sink in. Powerful....was that what he would be considered now? "The same to you" he said though whether or not it would remain pleasant for long was in the air as she asked what the pack was like. Trying to appear casual he dropped his gaze studying the surface of the water and steam as he considered how to answer her question. "Our old Warlord died and I was the only viable option to take over. He trained me" he paused and considered her ties to Hydra who seemed to have liked Vengeance, probably manipulated into believing he wasn't a murderous fiend. "He did some terrible stuff. Forced me to do a lot of it...I wasn't much more than a walking pile of fur with teeth when he found me. i don't know how many others he hurt but we're not like that anymore." it was a long answer but it was an honest one that he gave lifting his eyes back to her face expecting to watch the pretty smile disappear from her face and immediately beginning to try to rush to cover for it. "I've kept the alliance going with Hydra myself. I've been working hard to make sure nobody in Nightwalkers is like he was and...I think we all just followed the wrong man into some scary woods. I'm going to make Nightwalkers a better home. We have new faces....ones that would have been taken in to be harmed in his lead but are instead respected and putting work into helping me grow the pack" he finally stopped his ears shifting back as he realised he'd passionately defended Nightwalkers when there wasn't any need yet. Embarrassed he shifted in the water avoiding her gaze while considering the best exit plan in the case of conversation going south.
