Cedarwood Forest We Talked About Making It

Just as she had anticipated, Veho shared her opinion concerning allowing Crystal acceptance into Grizzly Hollow. It was good to know that she and her partner were on the same page, in that respect. Even if he had not arrived on scene at the borders, Jynx felt that she would have made all the right choices on her own. Nothing seemed dishonest or sketchy about their newest member, Crystal. She seemed genuine, willing to commit and do her share. Which is all that Jynx really asked for.

Her smile growing a fraction, she stepped forwards just as Veho's final verdict left his lips. "Welcome, Crystal. It is a pleasure to have you." Tail raised but ticking in a slow, friendly wag, she brushed her side along the tawny female's flank, marking her as an official member of Grizzly Hollow. With the packs scent now transferred and entwined in her coat, she stepped aside, gesturing for her to enter past the borders. "I'd be happy to show you around, to the den and the main cache." She offered, glancing briefly back at Veho. If he wanted to accompany them, she would not object. Nor would she mind if he had other business to attend to, such as his medical stock or border patrols. "And if you are hungry at all, we can see about catching you a meal." She wanted to avoid digging into the stocks of the caches, but she did know of a rabbit den not far away. With luck, they would be sound asleep within, unsuspecting of hungry predators. Offering her shoulder a gentle nudge with her dark nose, she led their newest member towards the heart of her new home.

It was with great satisfaction that Veho watched the entire event unfold so easily. Crystal’s humility did her great credit, as did his partner’s forward thinking. It would be a lie to say he didn’t have doubts in the other alpha’s abilities at first – but then, he found more questions concerning himself in such a role than any of his packmates. At least he wasn’t along in this.

With the two women settled, he offered them a small nod before they departed. “Go with peace,” he hummed softly. He’d been in the midst of doing some chores, as Jynx had expected – given the role of leadership had not affected his duty towards healing in the slightest. He would catch up with the queen later in the evening to discuss. As for their new addition, he would seek her out later as well. There were several additional oddities to being a member of Grizzly Hollow, but he did not wish to overwhelm her. Let her get settled and confortable, fed if she were hungry, and he would approach her in a day or two, once her bearings were set.

Once he’d watched the pair turn off into the territory, Veho did much the same, breaking into an easy trot as he glided across the land. A wolf’s work was never done.

Exit.
