Ouroboros Spine Three demon seeds

Viggo sat silent, even as the others spoke. Ptarmigan was first, voicing her concerns about the wolves who remained here. The ego boost on his part was unneeded, but appreciated. Viggo did feel as though he had been doing his part to make sure that the spine was well-guarded. Vectra, currently not present, had been helping him check the borders that day, but the fact that she was not here now made such a thing hardly seem notable. If she was not loyal to Ptarmigan, then her duties meant nothing.

The next one spoke, his words strange to Viggo's ears. It was not somebody who he had seen often, if at all, and they had certainly never had any sort of conversation. Viggo had a feeling that they would not be having many conversations at all. The fact that Sitri spoke of himself in the third person was too much for the Ostrega, and he mentally dismissed the strange beast.

Mordecai, his brother for all intents and purposes, spoke afterward. His speech was slightly longer, and Viggo felt that the message was mixed. First, he insulted the pack (in so many words), and then Mordecai proceeded to say that those who had left were weak. Perhaps he simply wasn't choosing the right words, but Viggo was left wanting when his brother finished.

Viggo did not speak. He simply turned his attention to each wolf as they spoke, taking it all in.
