nods at the native man Y-you think, uh...he'll help us?
Heaventele
I-If anyone can, it’s him. He seems loyal, friendly and willing to work together.
squints eyes at the native man And what’s in it for him? Why would he risk his neck for us?
Heaventele
Im pretty sure he knows that if we fail, then he will get our shares of reward money.. Plus he’s already stood up against his people and had them almost kill him for just looking at me wrong, so no doubt he wants revenge.
nods slowly, contemplating Well, I guess he's got some skin in the game. But still, I've got my reservations. Let's keep a close eye on him.
Heaventele
So you’ve heard me explain this already right? Because damn, you’re making me repeat myself. looks at Tristan Tristan, this is Rook.
Sorry, sorry. Just trying to get all the details straight. sighs heavily So, Tristan, you say you want to join forces to protect the wilderness?
Heaventele
Right. she nudges Tristan, who nods
Alright then, let's hear it from you, Tristan. What's your plan for protecting the wilderness? leans forward, eager to hear Tristan's response
Heaventele
Tristan explains his entire life story which details how he originally was an assassin for a secret organization, and now he seeks redemption and to fix past mistakes. Then details all his methods in how to best protect the wilderness
leans back, stroking his chin thoughtfully That's quite a story, Tristan. Seems like you've got a lot of experience under your belt.
Heaventele
All from Tristan.
raises an eyebrow All from Tristan, huh? Well, color me impressed. leans forward again Alright, Tristan, let's cut to the chase. What's your plan for dealing with the poachers?
Heaventele
Tristan makes a quick detailed list and explains how he would address poachers
leans back, crossing his arms Well, Tristan, you seem to have a solid plan there. I must admit, I'm starting to feel more confident about this alliance.
Heaventele
Ok great. I’m glad I could make the decision easier for you. Also Tristan, make yourself familiar with my pack dynamics. I am mated with my alpha, Heaventele. She is loyal and will protect me, but she won’t hesitate to tear me apart if I betray her.
<As they continue their journey, tensions rise between Rook and Tristan. Rook begins to suspect that Tristan may be working secretly with the poachers, putting the entire group in danger.>
Heaventele
Rook approaches Heaventele and whispers something into her ear. She gives him a look, and she quickly switches into beast mode. In a blink of an eye, she had grabbed Tristan by the scruff of his neck. She had him pinned against a tree. Tristan. What is your business here. Why would you seek redemption protecting the wilderness when you’ve never even worked with wolves previously?
wide-eyed, stepping back What the hell is going on here? Heaventele, what did I tell you about jumping to conclusions? crosses his arms Tristan, care to explain yourself?
Heaventele
Let him speak. I sense lies in him.. she relaxes her grip on Tristan What he does with his own life is not my concern, but what he does while he is with us is. I don’t trust easily, especially those who seek alliances.
takes a deep breath, rubbing his temples Alright, alright, let's hear it, Tristan. Explain yourself.
Heaventele
Please.
leans in, impatiently Well, spill it, Tristan. We're all waiting here. Don't keep us hanging.
