The silence alone was like white noise being forced into the ears of Christian. Everything and nothing was on his mind. The one question that kept recurring was "How did they know?" Christian was in some sort of piece by knowing that his were whole. The the wolves that stayed and died only died because they were not of his kind and refused to join them for the sake of "freedom" and the belief that they did not need to better themselves. The Hunters were growing stronger. With more technology and the ability to adapt with it, Christian knew that this lead that they had due to their natural ability would quickly diminish if there was not a form of respect around the hunters. But this attack was brazen and brash. The fact that they did not fear an alpha only told him that the hunters really were getting ahead of the creatures of the night. The balance of power was shifted and while he sat here thinking about the balance they continued only to get further and further ahead.<br/><br/>Then static began to overtake the silence. Static that quickly began to form the moment that Hatu tried to do what was his duty to do. Find order in the group. Bickering between the women. It was odd due to the fact that Yssa normally tried to stab at him instead of someone like Klein. Klein was often quiet and simply waited for orders so the fact that she was so willing to jump into it with the hot headed Yssa told him that she had frustrations of her own. Hatu jumped in and said "Ladies...I think we should wait to discuss this back..." Ignored. Like talking to a stone wall that you had pissed off and felt like ignoring you. Hatu had never been one to be the voice of reason. He was a nice guy,but his voice almost seemed to pull terrible situations out of ones that still had a chance of being controlled.<br/><br/>Christian felt Klein beginning to call for him to stand. He did more out of reaction. He was lost in thought. As talk of the city came he only felt a need to head to it. Their position. Their standing in the natural order. Everything was shaky as it was and this alone angered and distracted the young wolf. As they began to walk along, Christian heard the bickering hit the heat and the moment that talks about hinderences and who was being an idiot was spoken Christian snapped and the anger seemed to pull out something from underneath. Christian pulled his arm out of the grasp of Klein to not show any favoritism towards her the moment he needed to show strong footing. It was becoming clear that his desire to try and find an answer for him and his kind was seen as weakness. Maybe even fear. They were wrong.<br/><br/>"Both of you need to stop talking as if you had any idea what that was. I'm not hurt. I am not scared and I am not turning my tail and running. Say we fought Yssa. Down to our very last breath. We were outnumbered and out gunned. The way they handled themselves. The fact that they were willing to kill their own in order to achieve a goal. That is not something we do. The fight was on two very different grounds and you need to face the fact that we would very well be dead and we would not be able to send word to our pack." Christian turned to Klein and his eyes turned from his dark brown to the bright yellow and said "You were put at my side to watch my back. That does not make your judgement better or worse than Yssa's. She comes from as rich a blood as mine is and her input is invaluable to me. That is why I asked for her to stay at my side even after bad blood that came after my appointment." Christian turned to Yssa after saying those words and was quick to say "But don't you think that your use to me and the pack outweighs the fact that you need to follow orders. If you lose sight of that fact I will be quick to return you to your father's tribe marked with a sign that says you chose yourself over a pack. Your people would crucify you and we both know it..." Christian faced in the direction of their home and began to walk before saying "Come on...I need to have a talk with my father. Then we can talk about the hunter's and their dirty city. It seems that the smell will become a familiar one sooner than we know it."
