Swiftcurrent Creek turn down the thermostat

The answer he received was a calculated step around offering a true response, and Scimitar refrained from rolling his eyes at the notion. The simple stated that a wolf wanted the same thing in life was ludicrous to him, and yet some gained merit from the simple things in life -- pack, mate, pups. He liked to consider he existed for more than this.. but wasn't that what he too was striving for in the end?

"I see," he responded coolly, not bothering to delve deeper in to the others thoughts, for they did not interest him as much. The true offer he lingered upon was the blatant statement that the stranger was not here to hurt him -- it was not himself he worried about, but the pack. "If you're looking to join, I'd say you're going about it the wrong way." There was a small pause as his wolfish brows lifted, waiting for the other to clarify their business here. Whether the other wanted a fight or not, he was about to have his tail chased off Swiftcurrent Creek lands if he didn't give his reasoning to light.
