Why- was it giving him the definition of a name. Of course he understood such a thing, he understands almost all things, this Lamb fellow evidently having taken it upon himself to give a detailed description of the reason and purpose behind the giving of a moniker, Pan content to do little more then stare a manner most dumbfounded as to why someone seemed to be explaining something to him! He has not had anything explained to him in years, his beyond normal, near supernatural intelligence having resulted in a near non-existent need for explanation save for when related to matters of emotion. After all, he finds emotion utterly confusing and entirely contradictory to science and often finds himself at a loss in the manner of female interaction beyond having managed to convince Niviaq to conduct an experiment to see how puppies could be created. One of his better ones that.

“Well if it is your preferred calling I suppose we can use it, although do you not feel emasculated by it? Honestly it seems to possess a feminine undertone or at least a notion of weakness.”

That this, might somehow be considered impolite has clearly never occurred to the golden male, for all his intelligence the manner of social interaction has seemingly escaped him and yet in truth he hardly means for it to be so, incapable of understanding a need for sensitivity or that others may take offense at his honest words, that they do not always seek to better themselves through knowledge as he does, continuing to eye Lamb with a critical eye as the male saw fit to speak of his own strengths. A loner for ten years? Perhaps the male was in possession of rather a number of survival skills and yet- did this not mean he was wilful and independent? Would he be willing to cast aside the needs of the one for the needs of the many? The black eyed male remains silent for now, ears held forward still, letting Lamb continue to talk of his loner ways and that which it would seem he believes as he’s learned, the golden creature perhaps finding himself made further curious by the words offered to him. He was, if anything, at least in possession of eloquent vocals and a suitable manner of speech, as for his diplomacy Pan finds such a thing questionable. Of what diplomatic needs did a loner often find themselves afflicted? The negotiation of food or resources with other loners? How very intriguing. This manner of a self-historian is also a notion Pan finds mildly curious, head tilting slightly once more before the creature seems to remain remarkably silent in consideration.

“Since I cannot seem to determine how you will be a burden on this pack I am willing to accept you amongst our ranks provided you are given to find yourself a use amongst us even if it is the education of the minds of children, a critical role, I tried myself for a brief time and yet I find children seem incapable of mastering my grip on language so I shall be curious to see if you fair better.”

The golden male moved abruptly to step forward now, posture looser now and yet dominant style and he stepped forward to abruptly brush himself against the other male, marking him with the scent of Spirane and that of the Queen, a clear gesture of acceptance amongst those of the mountain pack before he moved to step back once more.

“You may now consider yourself a member of our lands, I suggest in time you make an effort to seek our Queen and make yourself known to her. As for what else you should know it is important above all that you conduct yourself in a manner appropriate to our pack, when you are in the free lands and around others you will be recognised as a mountain wolf and judged accordingly, do not bring disrepute to our pack. We are allied to Glorall, the ocean pack, Taviora the forest pack, Iromar of the swamps and Diveen of the plateaus to which we have long held ties and whose Alphess remains close with our own. At this current time we hold no enemies, our last adversary removed by the joint efforts of Spirane and Diveen. I would also suggest, eventually, you make a point of one day visiting one of these packs if only to further your knowledge. Now- is there any further questions you find your mind seeks answer to in this moment?”
