"I'm afraid I can't take your word for that." Roy said with almost little to no hesitation, not that long after Starrynight finished up his response to him and then his other announcements. Roy didn't have the best faith that Starrynight can really resolve this issue, especially in the way Starrynight has told the clan. Roy couldn't help it but feel a bit aggravated, in Roy's eyes it felt like he was the only one standing up to this idiotic, stupid plan. "I'm being honest with you, I don't think you, wandering up to Tanglewood territory, will be a good idea. Clearly Beck has shown us that he's damn hostile, and last time I checked in combat practice, you don't like to fight. You didn't even want to spar with your clanmate, who didn't have any intentions on physically harming you." But Beck? If that ghost attacked Starrynight, most likely Beck isn't going to show Starrynight mercy.

"There's a fucking possibility he might attack you if you go there to ask him to be more kind. I suggest you rethink this whole situation," He finished up as his ears pinned back to his skull, blue eyes staring right at Starrynight.

Really, their leader's pacifistic ways were getting on his nerves. He could understand not wanting to engage in violence, but the decisions he was making would only hurt the clan in the end. His friend was hot-headed, sure, but he couldn't help agreeing with him in most situations. Roy wasn't an idiot, and he was a natural leader. He had seen it himself first-hand. He had rooted for him, supported him in his journey towards the top. He knew that he would make his mark in history eventually.

Hughes strides onto the scene, the loud voices causing quite the commotion. He surveys those gathered before taking a seat close to his friend. He listens to what little he hadn't missed, the promise of a compromise with another group catching his attention. What the hell was he talking about? Oh yeah, that ghost that had attacked Roy earlier. He definitely wasn't happy about the incident, and even more-so with how they were deciding to handle it right now. His face sours, but he holds his tongue for now, at least until the bobcat himself speaks up.

As they go on, back and forth, a murmur of discontentment ripples through the crowd. He can feel the tension growing in the air. Still, he sits high, raising his chin as he finally speaks up, Suite's words enough to spring him into action. "Even if his decision is foolish and simply wishful thinking? I know he wants to make peace, but some people just can't be reasoned with," he points out, turning to the female with an unusually stern expression on his face. It was a lot different from his usual self. "So, what do we do until they decide to attack us? Roll over and take it like a bunch of mutts? Our inaction will only prompt them to come after us. They'll think we're weak," he keeps his tone even, unlike Roy, who he nudges with his shoulder to try and calm down. Still, he knows it probably won't be of much use. He was already fired up.

"SPEECH"

Roy is well aware that he is not the leader of the Ascendants, but he can't help it but express his concerns about the situation. It seemed like even Hotelsuites didn't like sitting around and waiting, but she was still putting her trust into Starrynight. Roy felt his eyes blaze with anger at the snort Hotelsuites directed at Hughes- who had kept his tone even, unlike Roy. Roy almost spoke up again to retort at the polar bear, but he felt Hughes slight nudge against his shoulder, glancing at the male. It was true, Roy was pretty fired up, and it was probably a good idea from Hughes to attempt to get him to calm down. He didn't like Starrynight's idea, but the comment regarding most the clan being incompatible of defending themselves was a good point. That was actually a problem itself, Roy felt some concern regarding the clan's defenses back in his combat training. Letting out an aggravated sigh, the bobcat spoke up again. "Well at least if Starrynight is going to wander over there, some experienced members should go along with him." If Roy couldn't get his first way, he would be okay with a compromise. "If most of the clan is incompatible with defending themselves, that should be worked on, whether we have this situation with Tanglewood or not."

Hughes nods. She's right that he doesn't truly know what they're up against, but after seeing the remains of the battle Roy had with the leader, he could probably piece together how powerful they were. With that in mind, they definitely weren't about to reach some compromise so easily. "That's true, I don't. But I do know that we can't afford to let our guard down, either," he replies, then turns back to his friend as he speaks again. He knew that going back and forth like this would go nowhere, so hopefully this would be the next best option. Going alone definitely wasn't going to turn out well.

"He's right. It's best to be careful," the lab adds in. Now, as for their defense at the observatory. "We should also up our defenses at camp, in case they decide to make an enemy out of us. Even if things do go smoothly, it'd help in other situations, as well," it didn't hurt to be cautious. If fights ever broke out, they would be well protected, so they would hopefully have some time to prepare.
