Seth listened to Warren's words, a sad smile on his face. Yes, he knew exactly how dangerous the other shifter could be. He had also seen it, felt it, some scars on his body proof of what Gabriel could do even if not above him in rank. And yet... He wanted to believe there was always a way to work things out without a fight. Mia had done it, although Seth wasn't sure she could do it again.<br/><br/>He noticed the sudden stop in the other's words. He supposed it was the scent. The heavy, almost palpable smell of hostility. The Hunters weren't prone to violence like the Fangs, but they weren't sweet puppies either. Seth knew very well they did not like strangers inside their territory, specially if said stranger brought with him a possibility of war. And, if he was honest with himself, there were probably those who hated Warren already simply for his mixed blood. They could be shallow like that, sometimes. But he also knew that no one would attack the other, at least not while Seth was with him. Despite half his pack seeing him as weak for not fighting over control with Mia, he was still Alpha, and he was still the second in command.<br/><br/>When they finally entered the clearing, all the shifters were looking at them, a mix of annoyance, anger and distrust in their eyes. Most of them were in wolf form, aggressiveness clear in their bodies.<br/><br/>"Seth." the call made him stop, and he had to refrain from rolling his eyes. He liked Cole a lot, the other shifter being one of the few friends he had in his pack, but he also knew exactly what he was going to say next. "What are you doing with this mongrel?"<br/><br/>"Don't, Cole." Seth sighed, not really feeling up to a discussion right then. "I've brought him to see Mia."<br/><br/>"Hmmm." the other man didn't seem convinced, and he turned to Warren, defiantly. "Why are you really here? What do you really want?" Cole was shorter by at least a foot, but it didn't seem to bother him.<br/><br/><dl class="codebox"><dt>OOC | <a href="javascript: void(0);" onclick="var spoiler = this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('dd')[0]; if ( spoiler.style.display == 'none' ) { spoiler.style.display = 'block'; this.innerHTML = '-'; } else { spoiler.style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '+'; };">+</a></dt><dd style="display: none;">Feel free to RP Cole and other NPC as well if you wish. :)</dd></dl>
