Cavan

The wolf traveled in silence after Senka. His head was full of tumultuous thoughts, and his heart heavy with grief and a burning fury that was only kept in check by his advanced age. Had he been younger and more physically capable, Cavan had no doubt that Liseli and Starscream would be dead already. "Senka." Quietly at first, the Captian came to a stop and addressed his leader. "I understand your reasoning and decisions, and I'll respect them." Right off the bat, elderly canine had to express his loyalty and put himself back in line, for it was very rare that he ever challenged his authorities. It was the death of his sister, his friend and companion for the last eleven years, that had tipped Cavan's temper until he went over the line. Given some time to think, especially away from the hubbub of the pack, he felt himself in better control of his words. "I ask that you let me address the Aspen Grove before the assault. There's also something else." The wolf's tones grew deeper, "After our assault today, I'd like to send a search party for my daughter Yepa. She never returned from investigating our escaped prisoners."

Senka

She sat down the moment they were out of ear shot. She listened to himj calmly. She let him finish before going on.No, To go to the aspen grove by yourself or with a few others would be suicide! Especially if they have been tipped off in any way. We go as a force and we attack the adults in the pack that have no young. She said. She stood up and moved a little closer to him.We will deal with searching for your daughter when that time comes as of right now prepare for battle or stay behind and man the guardsShe said moving to return to the gathering. Though she paused to listen for any other words.

Cavan

He didn't expect much leniency on the issue, not after how stringently the tigress had stuck to her decision earlier in the temple. Still, Cavan sought a compromise on the issue, going for one last ditch effort to pardon his estranged niece and nephew from death. "Not by myself, or separate from the main group." The wolf took a few steps after his leader, hoping to catch her attention, just long enough that she'd hear him out, "I mean once we arrive at the Aspen Grove. With the size of our army, they'd be foolish to attack us immediately; if there's time for an exchange of words, I want to address them before we move in for the kill."

Senka

Senka paused as she listened to him. Are you forgetting that they have sought out allie's Cavan? They may not be much smaller then our army. I will not have you seek them out. If they are there you may be one of the ones that goes for them and if you can convince them to leave aspen grove or at the very least go wit hthe mothers oof aspen grove and not fight they will be spared but this is no time for sympathy. Its their choice on which side they stand and if it is against us then they will be dealt with accordinglySHe said before descending back to the masses.

"No Senka, I don't plan on underestimating them a second time. You know I would never put the Haunters in jeopardy either." The aging wolf lowered his heavily scarred muzzle, deferring to the tiger's authority, while at the same time expressing that, despite how painfully personal this was to him, he would not let his emotions get in the way of rational thinking. "I only ask that I be the one to address them when we arrive." He started after Senka, ready to follow her back into the Temple to gather the rest of the Haunters. Though this was not the outcome he had hoped for, there was little the Captain could do once his leader had made up her mind.
