She didn't find the silence between them uncomfortable, in fact it was quite the opposite. They weren't afraid to hold anything back from each other and it was refreshing to know their frustrations were aired often. It didn't give the thoughts time to fester. He had kept close by her for the morning. While it was a refreshing change, she had the feeling it had more to do with keeping her well and truly within the borders unless she was escorted. She wasn't feeling overly adventurous today anyway.

She watched with interest as sisyhR took command of the situation in front of them and she offered anehtA a small smile of thanks. The girl was doing far more than ariaN had ever expected her, and for that she was grateful. She paid more attention to the tone of the deep silvery males voice. It spoke of a land far from here and she would be interested to hear his story. She enjoyed stories, it was a small guilty pleasure of hers.

So this guy didn’t like to waffle. Thank god. sisyhR hated small talk. Honestly, it drove him insane and having to partake in it was enough to drive him insane. That was a good start. He boded well that the male had returned with the goat, horns intact, with time to spare. His submission was lacking, sisyhR believed that grovelling on your back was the best way to go but he supposed not everyone had to be quite as submissive as he had to be when he was younger. Still, it was an area they could work on.

He took a glance to ariaN and anehtA, waging their expressions towards the male. They both seemed calm, interested. He supposed it could be an exciting time, accepting their first member into the pack lands. He should be excited too but something about the experience had him feeling on edge rather then exciting. Another male, competition potentially but an extra set of jaws to protect their lands. It was a tough call indeed.

”Let us hope that you stick to your words.” he said before he stepped forwards and snatched his jaws around the grey males. He asserted pressure, maybe more then he should have but he wanted to make it clear who was in charge here. Dominance had to be put in place and he had no intentions of letting another take his pack, or his female, from him. The action was both acceptance and marking- this wolf was now one of their own.

The dark brute emitted a low growl as he released his muzzle and took a step back. It didn’t matter that he didn’t know this wolf’s name, all that mattered was that he would perform his duties and more. ”anehtA will show you the entrance to our home and where to store your kill.” he said with a glance to the little white wolf. There was no way he was going to offer up ariaN as a tour guide, bounty or no bounty on her head, she was carrying young and strangers could turn to enemies in the shadows.
With a final nod, he turned and nudges ariaN’s side in order to follow. He wasn’t going to leave her here alone. With nothing more to say at this time, and a meeting to prepare for, he slipped back towards the entrance of their homeland to get ready for a summoning of their pack and to lay down the plans of the future.
