Aindreas had fallen silent and in response, the fae had lain down and remained silent. Aindreas patiently waited, the tip of his tail flickering in rhythm with his breathing. As he inhaled, it flipped up and as he exhaled it lowered again. He was glad at least that she was thinking out her answer and not answering at the flip of a hat. The questions he had asked her were relatively intimate questions given that he barely knew her and she barely knew him. Rift had began her life at Aurora Borealis under his father's reign, and now everything was different. Aindreas was similar to Kalgalath in many ways, but he was not Kalgalath. Finally, she started to talk, giving her back story. Aindreas was abhorred with the idea that a wolf could live in such a place... but was his own beginning to life so much better? He had been born into a litter without a father - considering Kalgalath had not even known that Aindreas and his siblings had existed - and then his mother Nika had abandoned him. He had stolen food from others, but it had been because he was a lone wolf pup living in the big bad world - not because a pack had such a way.

Rift paused and Aindreas wondered if she would even continue. He nearly opened his maw to ask her to go on, but she continued on her own want. She was honest in just wanting the exact opposite type of pack that she grew up in - she wanted somewhere to call home. Aindreas nodded along with her, understanding the reasoning. All he had ever wanted out of life was a home and a family - but he had found out the hard way that getting a family was much easier than keeping a family. A one night stand had gifted him with pups, but the world had torn them away. He had thought himself in love with Stormy Horizion, but the released magic had stolen that opportunity from him.

Finally, Rift began to describe herself and Aindreas smiled. "I appreciate you talking to me about yourself, despite how difficult it may be. Is there a role in this pack that you feel more akin to, be it hierarchy or career, and why? I may not keep the career system going and may instead make each ranking within the hierarchy have a career associated with it, but I would like to have a good idea about what everyone is looking for. And as for myself - I like the snow for the same reason... I blend in."
