Ouroboros Spine got no bones

Dijax could not help but chuckle at the wolf's response. "Rankings are for wolves who are not secure with themselves. The whole system is a false sense of comfort," he said, his smile remaining impenetrable. The male thought he was superior, and he had been awfully unwelcoming. Was that really the way to treat a guest? But Dijax did not want to bicker, so he added: "Do not get me wrong, I followed this system in the tundra, too. I am sorry to have upset you." He said this with no initial hesitation, and pure genuineness. Dijax was not a bad boy.

After a few lengthy moments, the arctic continued, "So; could you tell me your name?," he asked, eyebrows raised. He was trying to avoid the serious banter, but he did not know if the Spine wolf were to engage in it again. Maybe Dijax's comment on ranking would make the Spine wolf engage in it again, but the alabaster could only hope not. He had no intention of waltzing into the Spine and have everyone kiss his feet, but when it came to respect... that was something he was taught to respect — 'respect respect'.
