Something about the male who stood before me felt familiar. Not so much in a 'do I know you?' way, but more in the sense of I recognized a piece of myself in him. Nobility, perhaps? Nobility did not always mean royalty. But there was just that certain something that seemed recognizable in the way he held himself, the way he presented himself. His words about the life events that led him to stand upon the outskirts of my territory only served to further peak my interest, and a single brow rose in curiosity, accompanied by a small smile. Yet I did not press the matter. If he had wished to divulge more upon our first meeting, he would have. Another time, perhaps.

He wasted no time with small talk or dancing around his intentions. His words were forthright and to the point, and I appreciated the proof of his claims. Proactive indeed - he had already taken steps to begin working towards the rank of Rumblehorn. I was pleased with this news to say the least, however I kept my outward expression of such emotions to a slow wag of my tail. These were steps taken in the right direction for the pack. First Yuki, now Navarre. I took it all as a good sign, of prosperous days to come for Spirane and its wolves.

Nodding my head, I answered in tandem with the action. "Approve, indeed. I appreciate your ardent approach to life within Spirane, Navarre. I have no doubt that a wolf such as yourself will make a welcome addition to the pack." He seemed a candid sort, however I had only just met this wolf. While I respected the way he had gone about joining the pack and already making moves to prove his usefulness, I also didn't feel quite right simply leaving it at that. "Welcome to your new mountain home, Navarre. Walk with me a while?" I turned my bodice inwards towards the packlands, making a clear invitation, and yet my words did not so much leave room for denial. I wanted to get to know him at least a little better before turning him loose on the pack, even if my gut told me he would protect the wolves of my pack rather than ever doing harm against them. A welcome addition, indeed.
