Their discussion had ended rather abruptly last time the two met. Perseus was truthfully fond of Leroy, but the man's reappearance had startled him. Tanglewood had moved on from the old dog's death quickly and to see him return before their eyes was... different. Even so, the sable German Shepherd had seen mystics in his time and tyrants dethroned, so he was not one to question the return of someone so relevant. Nevertheless, his opinion did not get rid of the eerie feeling in the air.
While Leroy's sudden materalization was not as surprising for canine, the situation was a different subject. The news of Crow's disappearance echoed in his mind for a bit, but ultimately, he settled on Leroy's leadership. Rising from the dead and taking lead almost seemed rather unsightly. It left distaste in his mouth. What demons did Leroy have to dance with to revive and gain power? And to have Crow suddenly disappear at the same time? Perseus had to hold on suspicion. It was in his nature to see the worst in others. As the judge, jury, and executioner, the canine held his tongue. While he'd like to offer his concerns, he was not a man of many words.
Instead of meddling in affairs in public, he offered a dip of his head towards Leroy. "Welcome back," came his scratchy tone. Through a clouded gaze, he could see the blur that was known as Leroy had grown wider. Perseus could barely see that the canine had actually switched into his brother's form, but noted that the new leader had changed somehow. It was something he'd have to get used to. Luckily, their tone and sway presumably hadn't changed.
His attention briefly shifted to Aurum. Their position was well-deserved. Perseus could not argue against their promotion to Captain. In fact, he figured that Aurum would of been the new leader until Leroy showed up. Perseus was not a prophet luckily. Their new Captain of the Guard was thankfully a fantastic choice though. Active and determined, they were fit for the job. "You deserve it," he muttered towards them. "Congratulations."
With his courtesies finished, his ears perked and awaited more announcements. Silence swept over the room, unnerving the canine. The elephant in the room still lied unaddressed, despite Leroy's explanation. It seemed almost lackluster. Perhaps even ungenuine. Especially with the excessive use of slurs, but that was Leroy for you.
