He had honestly expected her to consider her bashful hesitancy, to still be unsure and maybe reluctant in accepting his offer. However, she delivered unto him a pleasing surprise when finally, with a healthy dose of confidence, she gave confirmation. A wave of happiness worked its way over his body, a sigh of relief escaping him for the first time in a very long time. Perhaps, finally, things were looking up. They had so desperately needed new blood, and here this girl was exactly what he was looking for. Even more pleasing, he found he had not a single doubt about her residing within his head. Perhaps one day she would leave them for one reason or another, but he felt he could let her near the children without a sick sense of mistrust about her intentions.



"Perfect," he answered, showing a smile for the first time during their encounter. With a nod of his head, he turned swiftly on his heels, beckoning her to follow him. "Come, I'll take you home."



And thus they traveled, Gent leading the way, an abundance of words trailing out of his maw and flowing back into the girl's ears. They exchanged names before he began to explain to her the intricacies of the pack she had committed herself to. He told of Minka and her children, how vital the three cubs' care was to the pack and that he saw them as his own. Raela, Cessair and Astraeus were all presented with their intended roles of advisor, scout and guardian respectively, and the two young men were named and described as well. Introductory skimmings, to acclimate her before the plunge.
