The involved Uratha casually gathers at the Tur - the know place of choice for pack recruitment:
- Durant Lemond displeases Christian Linch by being laconic in his description. A squabble begins.
- "Parkour enthusiast, archer and occult scholar. Living victim to Anshega Torture, and some may add living encyclopedia. Hmm, also spirit's appeaser or pacifier." - Durant Lemond[1]
- "... I don't know if your last Alpha encouraged a smart mouth in every pup that crossed his path or if he was just too senile to correct you when you got lippy. I don't much like the attitude, and frankly I've met too many Storm Lords that think since Skolis accepted you it means he sucks your dick too." - Christian Linch[2]
- "... And I belive my last Alpha would have ripped your tongue out calling you on a blasphemy. So, you lucked out Im not him. So, please, tell me if you will rebuke into another childish display in an attempt of infuriating me and I'll leave before you continue to embarass yourself." - Durant Lemond[3]
- "And what you are, is low. Talking shit to the high doesn't show strength, it shows weakness and insecurity. And don't try to lecture me about your tribe, my packmate is twice the Iminir you are. So, Watch. Your. Mouth. And show the proper respect." - Echoing Howl[4]
- Matt Kelly tries to bring some wisdom to Durant Lemond.
- "I'll share something with you that was taught to me by a very wise Uratha of your Moon, 'Respect is not a sign of weakness and only the weak expect it without offering it in return'. Do you want a chance to work your ass off to prove that you are worthy of respect?" - Matt Kelly[5]
- Durant Lemond leaves the scene with a slippery apologize, but not before another rebuke from Christian Linch.
- "Sure, no hard feelings at all moron. It's not like I'm the one that's making a fool of himself in front of the assembled representatives of the packs of the city and shooting down any chance of joining them, after all." - Christian Linch[6]
