No worries about you not hording gear for me, I did fairly well in regaining gear when I needed to with the aid of friends or what I could get on my own. As for communicate to me, generally if you were trying to tell 'me' something you might have brought whatever it was up 'with' me. I wasn't hard to talk to when I wasn't busied with interviews or the like.

I'm not sure who told you how to fight/play/or act, that was lower ranked than you, but it seems to have hurt your ego a bit, rather than you taking it as someone who didn't know you; trying to help. (Understandable since he might never have seen you.)Which likewise runs contrary to your spiel about focusing on what was best for the grove.

As for kicking you out I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you were around a fair amount when I wasn't. Uninduction for lack of being around is perfectly acceptable, I was however overly lenient in this respect. Telling you that if you didn't approve of my choices or actions as captain that we could fight and get it over with was born primarily of what faced the grove. Better you or I leave or shut up than divide the pack from within when we'd just begun a war with the Village. I won't delve deeper into any of this because it's all a moot point now. Try to remember that a bond is supposed to be mutual. I made the effort, however I never felt you made any effort... so what did you expect?
