Moonspear The beaten

"Valour. Warlord of the Nightwalkers. Allies with Moonspear but specifically Hydra." Bronco tried to keep his expression fairly neutral, though he was quite surprised to hear that Moonspear was allied with a pack called the "Nightwalkers," which sounded ominous as it was, but knowing that they also had warlords as opposed to (or in addition to, he supposed) guardians indicated that this pack, these Nightwalkers probably weren't as peaceful and benevolent as the Firebirds were. Was this why Wraen had been so upset about him and Meerkat leaving? Because Hydra alligned herself with others who were warlords, rather than peacekeepers? He felt like there was a lot he did not know- both about Moonspear and the Nightwalkers- and for now, it seemed best to keep his trap shut. 

But that'd never been a forte of his. So when Valour (whose name was at least somewhat redeeming, in light of the other names he'd presented) spoke with barely disguised scorn about the collapse and dismantling of his pack, Bronco grimaced, flicking his ears back and pulling his lips tight as though something had pricked him in the ribs. Abandonment? That sounded pretty inconsiderate. Still- Valour had come not only to tell them that one of their allied packs no longer existed, but to thank Hydra, at least, for having trained him at one point. Valour had once been like him, then- a project of Moonspear's, as they sought to teach and train guardians though...Bronco hoped that his own outlook was not as bleak as what Valour's had become. 

He didn't figure he'd be expected to speak- nor was he entirely certain that he should speak until Hydra arrived, but when the stone-faced Iota stepped back, he felt that she was giving both him and Osiris permission to speak. He cast a glance to Osiris, wondering if he too empathized with Valour, or if perhaps he recognized him...He cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly, and bobbed his head gently to indicate he'd speak, humbly. 

"Valour...I'm very sorry to hear about what you've been through; you must be pretty frustrated, and rightly so. I'm sure Hydra will appreciate your dedication, and your loyalty. Did you come," He said, glancing toward Osiris and Desdemona for a moment, "Just as a messenger, or were you looking to find a home here, now that yours is...?" He trailed off, not wanting to remind Valour of what he'd lost. But he couldn't help think that Valour wouldn't simply come by just to deliver that message...However, if he did intend to simply inform them and then move on, the gesture and consideration was definitely the mark of a wolf of duty and loyalty.
