Eivind thought it was funny this kid was calling him naive.<br/><br/>“Me and Lofgren are nearly the same age. I reckon I've known him a bit longer than you have. Sieger knew Lofgren's father,” Eivind tried to explain. “Our pack is bigger, and it is stronger. Lofgren hardly knows how to organize properly. We've had an agreement. This,<i>you</i>, violate that agreement. Lofgren isn't stupid enough to want a war, not one he is fairly certain he can't win.” As for if there was any opposition, they'd deal with it when it came.<br/><br/>Blue started to get irritated as Eivind tried to put any questions on hold. His voice was rolling with it as he spoke his discontent.<br/><br/>“I told you what we're going to do,” Eivind spoke simply, but he knew that wasn't going to be good enough. He looked slightly insulted, but unless Blue was looking at his face he probably wasn't going to catch it. “We don't keep sex slaves.” Eivind wondered what he could give him without giving him too much. If he told him he intended to bring him back home with him, to fulfill his purpose as a mate, he was sure he was going to throw a fit, in pain or not. It would be better for him to see examples first, more than just Sieger and Synnove. They could be civilized, and he hoped Blue warmed to him of his own accord, rather than him having to explain the connection they shared.<br/><br/>“A lot of it is hard to answer right this second. Not everyone is going to see eye to eye on this matter, just like Jamsen didn't agree with keeping you around. So try not to shoot your mouth off all the time in front of everyone,” Eivind suggested for starters. He knew how it sounded. They were taking him away, removing him of choice, so how was that any better than what Lofgren had done?<br/><br/>“You know too much about us that we can't just let you go,” he added, frowning. Not that Eivind would even if he could. If Blue couldn't integrate with the pack, it would end poorly for him, and much of the responsibility would fall upon Eivind himself. “It would be in your better interest to come with us willingly.” Easier on everyone, because Eivind wasn't going to give Blue an option when it came down to it. If Blue had been a wolf, it would have been easier. He would have recognized the pairing, and he would have accepted Eivind's authority, but he was coming to understand Blue was going to challenge him over everything. He wanted to shake Blue and tell him to shut up. That he knew what was best, and that he did have a say in what to do with him because he was his mate. Blue was his, but now was not the time to declare his possessiveness.<br/><br/>“It can't be much worse than this place, now can it?” Eivind pointed out, hoping that would get him to at least stop asking so much. “You really should sleep.”
