The wolf that approached was much bigger than Caspa, but fear wasn't the reason she bowed her head deferentially to him. Her old pack was one that insisted upon respect as a base for all relationships, and didn't always look kindly upon outsiders. She had no idea what to expect, from a wolf who seemed more decoration than natural appearance, and was taut with readiness to run or fight, keeping her face as placid as possible in the meantime. He seemed friendly though. The pack name was in a tongue she did not recognise, but she memorised it carefully. "I hope so," she answered. "My name is Caspa. I have been walking all these months... I am searching for a home. Do you have room for one more, in Cour des Miracles?" Her voice sounded thick and strange to her, barely used at all since the snow had begun all those weeks ago. It was a wonder her vocal chords hadn't frozen solid. Her eyes were down, half-lidded and submissive, and her hands tweaked a little anxiously at the lining of her coat pockets; she was fighting feeling disorientated by the sudden confrontation with a member of her own species, after so much time alone. But at the same time, she could feel the delight of the prospect of companionship flooding her veins, even if it was still only a shadowy prospect, dependent on her putting a good face forward at this encounter. Wolves and dogs, they were not built to be alone. |
Niro watched her form a submissive stance, it made him feel slightly uneasy, he was not entirely use to this, but as a member of the pack, and he was sure a valuable one, he would have to get use to it. Sometimes he didn’t think himself valuable. Especially with everything he did in his life, but that was neither here nor there. He had to focus on the present, and the present was staring at the ground, though clearly talking to him.
“We are presently accepting new members yes, but to be a part of this pack you must help the pack. What can you give us for our protection and sanctuary?”
He asked looking down at here, wondering how long it had been since she had eaten, much less laid down. It must have been some time she looked weary, but with the right answer he’d gladly show her to the Chien Hotel where she could easily find food and a warm bed awaiting her, though he could not turn his nose to a starving wolf, but he had not had to turn anyone down yet. He doubted he would have to turn her down as well. She looked like a capable woman. There had to have been something she could contribute to the pack.
This news was good, even if the words seemed to imply that the land might be a dangerous area. Well, she'd been walking a while and she'd certainly never found anywhere safe. At home they'd thrown up a fence around the entire pack boundary, which seemed extreme, but even there hadn't been safe. She'd had more to fear from her family and fellow pack mates than anyone she'd encountered on her journey. The stranger-wolves had merely wanted to chase her away, mostly, but the people she used to belong to had wanted to control her body and mind. Strangely, she understood their reasons for it; it was her own flaws that had caused her to go against the grain. Many of their ways were still her ways, and she intended to get stronger and do better with time. One of the blessings they'd given her was the insistence of a varied education, so at least she felt she could answer his question. "In my old home, I was learning to work leather, butcher animals and preserve food." A short pause, then "I have come very far and so have proved tenacity, faith and endurance. I can handle a knife in combat. I will defend anything or anyone who needs me." She spoke with great solemnity, her dark lids still half lowered but now her eyes upturned with great sincerity. She knew she had to make it sound good; her odd mongrel looks and bony physique belied her strength. |
OOC: I will have Vigil accept you asap, and we don't have to rp the whole of them going to the hotel, :3
As she began explaining why she would be a valuable member to the pack, Niro's tail started wagging in excitement. He was a skilled hunter, but he also enjoyed preparing leather and hides, and was a master at food preservation because of his time alone with his sister and not knowing when they would find meat again. Now he used much of what he had for his birds.
"You know some leather workings? I've been working at it for almost a year not myself, maybe we could trade some..."
Then he remembered why they were here, and he cleared his throat abashed. Yes he was still a pup at heart, and still quite young to say the same. He nodded.
"I think our king would not say no to any of those skilled. I welcome you to Cour des Miracles, I can show you around if you want I can at least show you to the Chien hotel, where you can stay until you find a more perminant home, and you can also get a bite to eat there."
He said. he would surely be happy to oblige to giving her some food, it looked like she needed it, and shelter, which was also something she might want to sooth herself, she had mentioned she'd traveled far so she was probably would want to relax. Niro was sure to help her become comfortable in the pack.
