Her snort caused him to stiffen. His ears flicked back slightly in surprise and he eyed her carefully, wondering what was going through her mind. Was she impressed that Sun Eater had killed another wolf in order to gain the submission of two others, or was this skepticism? Either way, he'd armed her with the truth, and he wasn't terribly adept at reading expressions. 

Fortunately, she volunteered her observation, and he licked his lips to release some of the tension that had built up in his jaw. He nodded, simply; an acknowledgement that Sun Eater's tactics had indeed been efficient. He'd bowed three wolves in one fell swoop; two of them lived, and slayed caribou for him now. 

The mention of his wife's name brought light to his indigo eyes, though Suliya's words left him unsure of whether she intended to flatter him, or merely make him aware of how lucky he was that he had taken Ice Diver as his wife before Sun Eater made a move. She spoke gloriously Ice Diver- and Ridgeback knew his wife was worthy of every bit of praise- but him? He was just lucky. 

Unworthy seemed to be the subtext. 

I am lucky to have her. He admitted, knowing that Suliya might be glad to hear that he was aware of his circumstances. He bore a smile, but there was a glint in his eyes that said don't underestimate me. He continued. She is a smart woman. Makes good choices. The glint disappeared, leaving behind only a smile, as though it had never been there to begin with. 

Yet again, there was something that he found wistful about her. She was lanzadoii and yet she spoke of the lifestyle in such a way that it seemed she had not, perhaps, fully embraced it. His expression softened. If you're both lanzadoii and mur..a...doii? sorry. His ears turned back in an apology, and shook his head. If you're both, why do I get the feeling that like...Well, is it like...Uncommon for lanzadoii and mur..a..doii to be together? That was probably a good place to start. It'd be better if he was more certain on the pronunciation.
