I know my place now, and I think I have suceeded in showing Alcide this fact, my easy automatic submission and handed over vulnerability should have been enough proof of the fact. I am rewarded by the growl dying off into inexistance from Alcide's throat, my eyes respectfully upon my cinnamon paws, occasionally sneaking a glance at the youngling or a rare one at Alcide. My ears are attentive and waiting, hopefully the words I had spoken had indeed been the right ones in this scenario. Maybe some would say I was brave to dare to come before an alpha I had challenged, but to me it was simply a natural thing. I mean no threat and indeed never again will I ever so much as begin to become one, loosening up my posture once Alcide himself does. I am in a more relaxed pose now, still respectful and attentive, awaiting judgement if and when it should come. I would accept whatever is passed upon me, because I hardly think I am in any position to protest. Besides that would not be very intelligent of me.

I have always been nothing but sincere, tail waving behind me. Waving because I know I have never been deceitful or even prideful. Deep gold eyes are displaying clear emotion, honesty and hope being the ones most dominantly displayed. I have not fully healed over from injuries in battle sustained, but then again that could be as expected, though they do not hinder me much as it is. I had learned my lesson, learned more than just one actually. I had to pay my dues.

I can see him looking at the meager catch I have brought to offer, the begginning of dues paid perhaps, unless I am to be turned away. The light fur of my kill contrasts the blackness that coated my paws, and I can only hope it is accepted, that I am not turned away. "It's the beginnings of an offering. It will not be all I can do." I know what I can and cannot offer, and suddenly I wonder if it's enough. If it isn't....I shake off the wash of uncertainty, that is something that sets one up for failure. Will my words be truly heard today? No I can tell they will be heard, let's just hope that they're enough. A slight nod is given to the nudge to get at the point, I easily obey, having no reason not to, "I want to truly repay. If you would allow me to, I would serve under your command. I can protect tho here if they need it." I can be whatever Alcide needs of me, if he needs anything at all.
