He wasn’t a fighter, but he was a big wolf and knew how to throw his weight around. He wasn’t completely inept at fighting; in order to protect the other sitters and especially the pups, he learned a thing or two. But he wasn’t a seasoned warrior. Bullies though? He had no problem putting them in their place. Just the thought of them made his blood boil and fight back a snarl. He had no patience for it.<strong>Tsuki’s</strong>next comment made him school his expression to keep himself from anxiously glancing between them.<strong>Vitani</strong>wanted him to talk to<strong>Mute</strong>and everyone else about Elder’s Moon. Still, his gut instincts said to tread carefully right now.<strong>Vinati’s</strong>voice from the conversation before echoed in his thoughts,<em> “I’m counting on you”</em>. His mind made up, he calculated how to go about the conversation.<br/><br/>The big sitter turned his full attention back to the two and answered<strong>Tsuki</strong>before she swept<strong>Mute</strong>away,<strong> “Of course.”</strong>He ducked his head, a nod of acknowledgment that she wished to speak with<strong>Mute</strong>alone.<strong> “But first, I was curious what on your thoughts about Elder’s Moon?”</strong>He baited, hoping she would linger for a moment longer so he could not only see how deeply aligned she was with the wolf who’s scent was thick in her fur but to gauge<strong>Mute’s</strong>reaction too. The wolf wasn’t one for words, which meant his language was through body language.<strong> “A lot of rumors are spreading quickly of what might be involved, but what do you think?”</strong>He wouldn’t be able to talk anyone out of it right now, but he could certainly see their thoughts. Bhaltair had a suspicion that<strong>Tsuki</strong>would be all for this event, which cut a clear line between the two. He glanced up, noticing that it had grown dark while he was here. The shadows seemed to grow larger, reaching out to swallow those who lost their way. But he’d never been afraid of the dark; he was a beacon of light and stood tall in the face of darkness.<br/>
