It was quiet to the untrained ear. Though to Ragnar, his ears picked up on many different things. The cicadas were chirping periodically, and every rustle of leaves from a small animal or the occasional bird call causing his ears to twitch like antennas. He padded through the forest, his tail hanging loosely behind him. Pausing for a moment, he stood and looked out towards the Outerlands, his eye sharp and serious with his nostrils flaring with the scents he was taking in. His mind, as always, was operating at a mile a minute.
The pack was turning out to be a very interesting one to observe. The conversation he had with Alis was still very recent, and he was still evaluating the whole situation in the grand scheme of it all. But overall, she was an average leader. Trusting enough to accept him without question and allow him to waltz in and manipulate both her and most of her pack members without question. He was allowed to be a Kennari and trusted with guarding and teaching the offspring without saying much more than a 'welcome!'. All acts that had pegged her as not worth following to him. Though she was decent enough to not panic or have any mental spasms at a sign of trouble within her pack aka Nyx's self harm episode. That was the bare minimum in terms of pack leaders, however. He still had to wait and see what the outcome would be to the situation he had stirred with her, and what she would finally do in response. Because no doubt Nyx will be talking very badly about him to her.
He had originally planned to analyze the Guardians of Syndrana as a whole, find out their processes of operating and maneuvering of different situations before leaving and forming his own pack. But for the moment, he would wait and see if they would keep him around out of pure curiosity. He would not have manipulated them as much as he had if he had believed they were a worthy pack for him to follow. His actions would have rendered any attempts or wishes for him to actually stay with them nugatory.
All that was left for him to do was wait.
