Joseph waited for some time after they left the library before speaking. They were all defaulting to Aliza, and it was clear to anyone she was functioning as the pack alpha. The question remained though, as to whether or not she was up to the task. If not, they needed to find out, and soon. At first he held his silence in difference to the spirits of silence. Then they were out of range and she told them they were heading to Behemoth territory. He guessed right then, to her the first task was turning others before taking care of themselves. There was wisdom in what Aliza proposed, ignoring each other in this city was something the packs of Victory City could not afford. Still, it was so like a Cahalith to want to hurry and get the story started. A slight smile found itself on his face, vanishing before he finally spoke up.
"Is this the first move we should be making? We have no territory, no spirit pack member, we are wolves in name only and as of yet have done nothing. The Behemoth's have lost their alpha to an opponent I am inclined to think they do not understand, nor do we."
He stopped to make the point.
"If I were them, whatever words we have to offer would be a waste of time. They need to acknowledge us as Pack first before they treat us that way, we go now and they will only find us an unwanted distraction. I know I would. Our first goals need to be to find our territory, get our totem, hunt. We do that and the Behemoths will understand they are hearing another pack. Not a group of pups not even acting on their own."
It was an oddly long speech for him, but he kept his eyes on Aliza. The question now was how would she respond?
