Coszcotl watched as the large male bowed his head to him. At first he was confused by the lowering of himself for he was usually the one doing such a thing. It was strange to see another, particularly one so large, doing it to him. He blinked bewildered for a moment before he remembered he was an alpha and this respect was usually what was owed to those in his position. He smiled warmly at Raki, appreciating the gesture but really it wasn’t needed. He did not say to stop, for who was he to correct what normally was acceptable by wolven kin, but he still did not poise himself greater than that of Raki. He wanted his companionship in his pack, a friend to roam the lands of Taviora. He wasn’t going to be some slave to his word. If anyone obeyed him he hoped it was simply because they respected him as a friend, not out of fear or worry that they would have terrible repercussions pressed against them.

His fire opal eyes drifted to Solaris as he spoke. They had just met, he had gone out of the lands and as Coza thought and mildly hoped Raki had come hoping to find a home. His tail wagged as his eyes then drifted back to Raki, who repeated what Solaris had said in his own words. A soft smile crossed his maw as he stepped to join the sides of the two male wolves.

”Come and see, you is most welcome, Raki.” The male said taking a few steps into the forest of Taviora. ”We is small still, much room to grow great over time. But I keep my own safe.” He started pausing momentarily to see if they were following before letting his eyes move over his lands. He took a deep breath of the musk of the forest, scents of prey strong in the air still. His tail waved lightly before speaking again.

”If you is wanting a home, you are very welcome in Taviora Tribe. But please explore as you wish, I am here happy to help if you is having something to ask.” He was still walking letting where ever Raki’s paws went to lead him. He would allow the male to think and explore Taviora so he could decide what it was that he wanted.

Coza was very happy with Solaris, he did have a reason to be proud of his actions. His gaze went to the boy again shiny brightly and clearly with approval. Even if Raki decided Taviora was not the place he wanted to stay Solaris had shown him the kindness of the forest pack of Taviora and perhaps someday he would indeed come to see them again. That was the way Coza wanted new members to come and he was certainly happy to see Solaris playing the role of a wonderful pack member.
