Matt grunts at Emily, apparently accepting that she isn't trying to provoke him with the stream of height-related nicknames.
"Smart is good, but waiting isn't." he says in response to her statements about the infestations. "I'm not saying we just jump into the middle. I am saying, we should look for where something is overextended and hit it hard. Send a message. Make them think about caution." he says. "We don't have to do too much, and make them all think about teaming up against us. As long as there's stuff out there, they are all each others enemies too."
Matt grunts at Brigit's observations.
"It's been...a few years," he says."But most of that...I was traveling alone, down the coast from Washington, mostly wolfing it." he says. "I got into a Pack, they were...Lodge of the Savior. They helped me a lot, to get my head straight. My Change was, a Rahu thing, I guess. Messy."
After a pause, Matt says, "Yeah. No tribe. Alpha's okay with it."
He grunts again in acknowledgment of what Brigit has to say about her, childhood friend(?) and about the Pure. Some of it strikes him as wishful thinking, but she definitely seems to have inside knowledge about the Pure and their tactics.
