Zanu nodded. He had heard of owls from Khar and had been fascinated by what they were able to make. "Hmmm, so I guess you know what its like to be in a harsh pack" He said slowly "I guess it was because of coming from such a brutal pack, that I reacted like I did when your Alpha ordered a wolf to be killed, because I dont want to see that happen in another pack." He dropped his head to look at the clear water "I want to stop it happening in any pack I come across at any moment, able or not, I will try to help any wolf, even if they are of low rank, like what you had in your pack, a Gnaw wolf, I would still help it" He said looking up.
