Stavanger Bay hyperparadise

As the older man quickly shot him a look, Atreyu averted his own eyes away from his reprimanding gaze, quickly staring down at the water that swirled around their toes. Despite his comment beforehand, the boy knew he really should show his elders respect, especially if they were much, much bigger than you. Not to mention the scars that adorned his face. Atreyu wondered at them, curious if he was a warrior like Ragnar. Or even a former Alpha? Perhaps a little too optimistically, he made a mental note to later ask the man for some fighting lessons; if his build and scars where anything to judge him by. Though, obviously, he wouldn't bring that up right now. There were much more important things to deal with at the moment.

He quietly sighed as the kid explained the situation from his point of view, favouring himself to be the victim of the ordeal. Well, firstly, he didn't walk up to him, the pup damn nearly knocked him over! Not that a wolf his size would do much damage, of course, but he should have watched where he was going! He continued, and Atreyu listened as intently as his green-eyed pack mate, amusement flashing across his face as the pup stated that Bay wolves were all super nice. Obviously, he had never met that one-eyed female he himself had met when he first came to the Bay. And he was sure there were plenty other secretly not-so nice wolves lurking around in the ranks. Atreyu fancied himself pretty friendly — he just had a very short temper. But an attitude adjustment?

He flattened his ears at the man's statement, turning to face him as he spoke, though gave another nod of agreement. The kid needed to learn a lesson. Trespassing (especially in Stavanger Bay) could get one held captive or even killed! How could one be stupid enough to walk over clearly marked borders? Conveniently, the boy forgot about that one time he strayed a little too close to Silvertip Mountain and was quite literally thrown from their lands. "Yeah, and I only thought you should know how to swim because, y'know, you live in a Bay," he piped up in a matter-of-fact sort of way before resentfully adding under his breath, "and I'm not a trespasser."
