It seemed both the youths were already keen on a path, and this notion inspired the leader considerably.  Both @Tomen and Nineva were awarded a smile, his tail swishing behind him eagerly as they explain their choices.  He could not argue with either of them – the Lyall boy was lithe like an arrow; he was indeed made for speed.  If he had to guess, he’d reckon the swarthy male also had the disposition required of a pack’s first impression.

It surprised him little that the silvery lass desired to be a leader in her own right someday – her secondary choice was unusual for someone with such aspirations, but Veho found he rather liked the notion of an alpha with such necessary skills.  Less folk to rely on, easier to get things done.  The man gave a sage nod.

“Tomen, have you met Crystal?  She is currently training to be a scout – if you would like, I might suggest going on an exercise run with her, or perhaps she would be willing to allow you to accompany her to Secret Woodlands when she goes, or one of the other missions I have for her.” His smile was a genuine one as he nodded before turning to Nineva.  “Now, I would be happy if you would like to study with me when holding pack meetings, and I would be happy to share reasoning for decisions and inculcate you with all I’ve learned thus far.  I will talk with Oula, as well, that you might get two perspectives.  We do not have a teacher at the moment – so I think it would be in your best interest to spend a little time with several different wolves.  Myself, as a leader and healer.  Crystal, as a scout.  Pip, as a fledging hunter.  There are many others, of course, for you to choose from.” A pause.

“Do you find this suits you two?”
