Cultist behavior and I love that

Ooo show those teeth!!! I think they both have a point here. Their pack was ok until the zenith showed up. And ya without embracing this change their little pack could have died out

Grey

Ahhh there it is!

The gaslighting is strong with this one…

Now look who's the one baring teeth. Ramble seems to have struck a nerve with Hap by implying that what they're doing is not actually 'saving' them from a world of pain and misery.

Luckyclaw

I wonder how well "the strength of the pack" is serving Keen right about now! I'll bet they'd prefer Red's broken leg, even if it meant being lonely carrion with a wife and two kids.

The stray white spot above the rest of 'Hap's left arm is a great way to indicate the "unnaturalness" of their piebald-inspired marking and differentiate from the symmetrical colors on every other wolf's extremities.

Tori Sol

Ugh, they're so condescending. All this talk of Ramble and the others being poor little "wild" wolves who don't know any better. The zenith pack acts like beneficiaries, as if they didn't try to murder an entire family, pups included.

Microgrampup

I think Ramble should have tried to answer Hap’s question with the fact that they tried to kill the pups and injured, so he wouldn’t have thought they were the type to respect surviving vulnerability, thus his lack of trust in them to really be safe for Gristle.

Looweezah

Hap is kind of right. Red broke his body and only Swift cared for him. Everyone else was ready to throw him to the wolves, and Seral and Gristle even blamed Swift for wasting her time and their food on Red.

I really love Tegan's different takes on leadership styles, as well as the growth of potential leaders, as we get to see these characters develop with Oren, Hap, Gristle, and to an extent Rask, Hemlock, and Swift.. they all have their ideology, but to an extent they all have a degree of empathy, warmth, and well meaning towards their "families" in addition to their strong influence. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in grassland and woodland "packs."

Gale Tazzin

No, that actually reinforces Hap's point. Keen was obviously trusted highly enough to be part of a delegation, but the pack is still in great shape after his unexpected death. Meanwhile, Swift's pack would not have been able to feed everyone after losing Seral. As for Keen, he had a neck wound as well as the shattered ankle; he wouldn't have survived long even if his pack had cared for him.

Gale Tazzin

And it's an interesting detail how Singer looks caught off guard by Hap's retort here. I'm very curious about the dynamic between those two, and how much independence Singer had with recruiting Seral

Julian Seguin

My one gripe with this story, is that we didn't get to see Ramble's reaction to Swift leaving. Does he even know why?

Luckyclaw

Absolutely incorrect on several points. First of all; "Swift's pack" still exists with a single hunter, two pups, and a disabled member. It DID lose Seral, Ramble, and Scree-- and it could still be fine if she finds a way "around" the small prey developing weapons (either joining them or developing new hunting tactics.) Secondly, a neck wound and a broken heel are not difficult to treat. Keen's throat wasn't completely ripped out, they were bleeding slowly enough that any stypic and some pressure could have saved them. If the heel wasn't splinted properly, Keen might have had a persistent limp, but when Swift commented that he could "choke on the false hope that his pack would come back for him," she was completely right. Singer abandoned him. Thirdly; we don't necessarily know if Keen was respected enough to be part of a "delegation," or if he was an expendable redshirt. That could go either way, but clearly, wolves are not particularly valuable to the Zenith if pup-killing is on the table.

Luckyclaw

(To be clear I like the Zenith a lot so far. Ramble can't possibly argue these points because he's not privy to the whole story. It's good rhetoric on Hap's part, I love the cult behavior.)
