A thousand silhouettes

Sorry in advance for replying out of order; Mordecai would be apt to respond to this! :X

If there were one positive thing he could find about the situation, it was that it seemed his packmate was compassionate. It was a good trait to have for all intensive purposes and one that he himself carried to a degree. Admittedly, Mordecai's compassion only stretched so far, but like much of his traits, how far they would stretch varied unpredictably. Unspoken, he appreciated that she kept her tone level, basing her argument and backing it with the very compassion she was displaying. If she hadn't, things would have certainly gone a different direction.

"I'm not suggesting that we send her out alone, I'm suggesting that you respect that it isn't your decision to make," he responded coolly. It was clear that he wasn't willing to budge, not until someone with the say so had turned up. And on the off chance that her pursuers did turn up at the plateau's climb after her, they would certainly all be facing a dangerous situation. The veiled threats that Mordecai had received by passing their borders had been enough to affirm that they were not among the friendliest sort.
