The dappled feline hadn't heard of the attack on London, which was no surprise, since he'd hardly left his new den since he joined. He'd welcomed a joiner or two, sure, but that was about it. However, he felt his features form a small scowl at the mention of it. He'd encountered "bad guys" before. Enemies of his old clan, even clanmates who had seemed completely normal, had hurt people he loved. Even friends of his, people he had trusted, had harmed others, done things he never could have imagined. He'd seen - and experienced - such things first-hand, knew the pain it brought to the victim and the victim's loved ones. Pierce had had such issues overlooked and shoved aside countless times in the past, and the thought of that happening again, to anyone, was sickening. Because, he'd learned, sometimes, leaders just didn't care. As long as they were safe, nothing mattered. But Leigh wasn't like that, was he? Pierce didn't really know him, but he seemed trustworthy. Then again, people weren't always what they seemed.Damn it, he was being paranoid. Shaking his head, the slender young man glanced over to Leigh as he responded, chewing his lower lip. London was "fine". Snowbound was fine. Everything was fine. Pierce nodded quietly to himself, shifting his weight slightly as he waited for the meeting to continue- all of a sudden, things were a little uncomfortable. Promotions. Jacob was a medic now, apparently, which was cool - he was nice - and Killua was... Snowseeker? Second-in-command; so, deputy, Pierce supposed. Something about the kid gave him bad vibes, but he wouldn't say anything, of course. It was just him being weird. And then there were three more promotions, only one being familiar to him- Ivy. Still, he was happy for them, and a faint smile found its way to his lips. [color=#F5CA72]"Oh- congrats, everyone! Good job," he called, glancing over to his right as if he would have a companion sitting beside him to lead away from the group. He did not. Lovely.
