The black doesn't need to vocally confirm the younger Korat's guess; a brilliant outpouring of teal-hued light from once-calm eyes is answer enough. But the flash is brief, a blink all that's necessary to restore control and a lack of luminance as pupils and whites can once again be seen around the water-hued irises. "He and his have killed countless Korats," comes the low voice, a deadly steel underlying what once resembled a river and turning it into a razor-edged blade. "Erashun's blood relations... none are left. My birthpack... slaughtered so recently for the frustration that Wureshi feels towards me, personally. He cannot kill me, but I cannot yet kill him, either. Kaw was once Shucho, my pack leader before I encountered Wureshi at an early age and left. Now he is physically shattered, has lost everything he lived for, and demands that I go hunt the murderer down in the name of his... my... pack." An outpouring of emotion is markedly absent, only vibrating, icy hatred.

Eyes flash as they focus on Noni once more. "If Wureshi's kin were to ever come here, they would die instantly. Only he himself could stand up to the four masters of this pack in a fight. You need not worry for your safety." A deliberate blink, and Atumi has flung the anger and ice from his voice. "You probably smelled Kaw on your way here," he adds by way of explanation. "That was the red scent. I'm surprised Shula didn't challenge him on the spot; Kaw is not the type to defer, despite being on alien ground." A brief smile creases the sleek muzzle before vanishing again.
