[PEPPINO]

He didn't have many thoughts on The Ascendants. Mostly, he had dealings with The Pitt, though not the way his sister did. She had been tortured, made to forget, which were undeniably awful, but the person who came from The Pitt hadn't been like that. He'd given Pip a book, had given him aloe when Pip had foolishly thrown himself between the visitor and Caesar's fireball. The young canine didn't believe that groups were homogeneous, that the actions of several members meant all the others shared the same perspective. He was certain people would think that of The Typhoon, that The Ascendants must have considered them all vulgar pirates. Some were of that nature, yes, but others weren't. They weren't incapable of compassion or understanding. So few were. They were loyal, and stubborn, and had all the complexities typical of people.

So he wasn't aggressive or harsh when the leader -new leader, apparently- arrived at their gate. Peppino merely met him with a steady, mismatched gaze, approaching slowly, satchel gently thumping against his leg. "Goldie should be here soon," he answered evenly, a faint furrow between his eyes. She wasn't in the best condition yet, and he'd need to have her in to re-evaluate her status. Miscarriages were...There was a time-frame, and the body was very efficient, but sometimes couldn't manage to flush out everything. Not that this stranger needed to know any of that. "I'm Pip. Do you mind my asking why?"
