Having his gaze turned away, Caniri wasn't able to guess what the Alpha was thinking. The male was rather stoic and Caniri didn't have the advantage of studying his expressions. He kept his own emotions under control, not wanting to give the other any reason to reject him. He could tell that the dominant male was thinking over what he had said. His disapproval was apparent at least. It seemed to radiate off him. When the ragal male snoted, Caniri gave an internal cringe. No doubt the alpha thought he was stupid kid with poor excuses. He didn't have any real reason for not finding a pack sooner, other than the fact that he had no experiance living alone and hadn't known better.
When a deep growl was emitted from the jaws of the stranger, Caniri froze, unsure of what his reaction should be. His body screamed at him that he was going to be attacked and therefore, should fight back, to protect himself. While the large male was intimidating, his demeanor didn't seem overly hostile. So when the alpha came forward, quickly closing the distance between them, he forced himself to stay still as the alpha approached. He was surprised by the alpha's actions. While it had seemed a sure thing that he would be turned away, here was the alpha, brushing pelts with him. Caniri relaxed his body, gratefully taking the contact. It had been awhile sinse he had had company.
As his new alpha pulled away from him, Caniri stepped back carefully. Though the gesture had been welcoming, the glower aimed at him was a warning. Caniri knew that it meant this might be temporary, but he only hoped that his time here, no matter how long or short, would help slake his need for company. With his tail low and gaze turned away, he carefully raised his head, not as an act of disrespect but because it was uncomfortable for a wolf of his size to remain curled in on himself. Caniri matched his pace with his new alpha as they began heading further into the territory. The alpha mention the fact that every wolf had to pull their own weight and mentioned a few rules. Nodding, he said, "Of course. I wouldn't expect anything less." As Caniri pondered the idea of his new home, he wondered what his responsibilities might be.
Voicing his questions he asked, "Is there something that needs doing immediately, Sir? I'm willing to do the rougher jobs. I can patrol if you want. Not many would get by me." Caniri was eager to do something. He found that he admired his new alpha. He was strong but seemed fair and intelligent. Caniri was eager to please and quickly fell into his military-like nature. "I await your orders, Alpha."
