He would have been wiser to say republic? But he knows that.

Ok I admit - I didnt sleep well last night - back ache - and I probably have to get a new mattress how am I gonna afford this? So Im not typing something I consider to need to be A grade quality ok

When a young Lion stalks an older Alpha Male - he hides and watches for a moment of weakness - he doesn't let the Current aging Alpha know what he's got until the moment of attack.

Thats also sort of art of war!

Anyway! Ignore me its not a problem.

Yeah I think Republic would maybe have been more fitting here.

And yes you're right the young lion will stalk the current alpha and wait for the right time but I just don't see this with Raph.

I just think he's an intelligent, likeable guy who to a great degree doesn't care much about his position in the house. I certainly can't see him going at Lotan, who I believe is the actual alpha. In fact as time goes on I expect these two to actually become good friends. Maybe not best friends but friends enough to almost be allies.
