William stood by the door for a moment after knocking on it. There was only silence for the short while, and then the muffled voices from outside the door. William came down the stairs glancing over at Ryan. "Boy, clean your face off and look presentable. We're about to have company." The werewolf hunter approached his cot and sat down, hearing the door atop the stairs creaking open. The Ulfric slowly came down the stairs, wielding a rather barbaric tool. He asked for reasons, and he asked for William to explain himself first.

The hunter glanced over at Ryan, grumbling something about him being a bumbling fool before returning his gaze to the Ulfric. "Your questions I will answer freely, and with honesty. The man beside me is not dead yet, nor I, so that gives me some glimpse of hope in your group." William smiled weakly as he watched the pack leader. He was analyzing his movements, waiting to see if he'd do anything sudden. "The name is William, William Hendrick. If you're caught up with your history, perhaps you'd know the name." The hunter smirked, although his eyes were still set on the tenderizer. "Though there has been a shift of power in our organization. We're in the process of some reforms at the moment. A good example would be me locked in here rather than you face down in the snow out there last night."

William cleared his throat before he continued. "It might be hard to see [i]Vargr[/i], but we're cut from the same fabric, you and I. I'm here because my oath decrees I be, and you because of your bond. I've been tracking a rather savage group, been on the move for quite a while if you hadn't noticed." He ran his fingers along his bushy mustache for a short moment. "Decided i'd try to cut them off and see what lied ahead, so here I am now." William opened his coat and removed his flask of whiskey, offering it to the Ulfric. "I know there is bad blood between us. There probably always will be. We are both predators, hunting under the same moon for different purposes. There will always be bad blood, but for now, it doesn't have to either of ours."
