Smirking at Dey's remark about Khan, er, Durandel, Nova figured that a two vs one vote was going to be all the needed for this hasty plan to move forward. They were going to have to do something before dark, after all, and no other plan was forthcoming. Besides painting themselves like earth wolves, of course, but that was even more reckless. And they didn't have paint.
The more he thought about it, the more he confidence he felt that it could work. It was as if he was talking himself into doing it. Sure it was the oldest routine in the book, but it was still in the book for a reason, right? Besides, if worse came to worse they would just be running for their lives again, and Nova had become a little desensitized to that by now.
"Alright then, stop acting like friends and look defeated" Nova said quickly over Durandel's protests. Without warning the other two, Nova froze the grass that was beneath their paws in an effort to get them to suddenly slip and fall. It looked a little more convincing to be taking care of a couple of fugitives if they weren't standing up bright eyed and healthy.
"Hey miss! Can't you make a couple of stone collars for these two invaders right quick! They'll run straight into the Onatah's if you don't!" Nova howled frantically down to the she wolf who had yet to notice them, hyperventilating for additional affect, and speaking every bit the truth. It would be easier to earn her trust if he spoke as little falsehoods as he could. There was no need to scruff up his fur anymore to make it look like he had been in a fight, he had been in enough of those already today. He hoped that she would take the bait, otherwise they would be helplessly lost in the Dimitrios' lands.
