All that remained of that hapless bitch was a cold body and signs of a struggle. The mother of Wormwood (now Aurum) and Poetking, she had been - couldn't have been that good of a mother if her death was dished out by one of her own children, though. Did the canine hate Poetking for doing it? No, not really. Judith brought nothing but enmity with her into Tanglewood, so her death came as more of a relief than shock. If anything, he shunned the younger lion only for refusing to stick around and clean up his own mess, yet that was all. Nevertheless, there were others in the tribe that had their reasons to harbour contempt towards Poetking, and while Leroy would not pry, he would make note of those that resented the tribe's freshest face.

The leader shoots the two siblings respective nods whilst he makes the scene, parking himself a good distance away from Moth and Selby. "I'm Leroy," the canine introduces simply, "and I run the place." With that, his gaze fixates on Aurum's brother. Regardless of how appalling his victim was, the large feline was, and always will be, a killer. He'd fled the territory before being able to prove the homicide as an act of self-defense, and nothing could be done about it anymore. However, the wolfhound had to respect the murderer for being dumb enough to come back. Took balls to do that, for sure. Hence, under his jurisdiction, Poetking had another chance. From now on, the only lives he'll be taking are the ones lived by Pittians.
