Here I am, There is something inside me
That still wants to feel
The scarred samurai simply looked upon each potential member for a moment, considering and calculating each ones potential skills and uses, his scent indicated one was a loner; possibly, he wasn't too sure with the male, but the female definitely carried the scent of AniWaya with her still. Aside from the small welcome from Leon the other two said nothing, their body language coming across submissive and polite as some seeking to join chose to hold themselves; although he could rationally understand why it was polite to show submission when joining,yet at the same time the grey Rakeeb couldn't phantom ever submitting to anyone simply to join a pack... for most of his life he'd been within Anathema and he had no intention to leave and so he hoped to never be stuck in the position of having to submit to join another pack.
And so it goes without saying submission and respect he cared little for from his pack members and potential members; hell, most of the pack members often conveniently forgot he was their Rakeeb and treated him like the simple warrior he once was, although much had changed since then it seemed that many members opinions of him were fixed, not that such things mattered much. All he cared was that members were loyal to himself and the Angela and obeyed the laws with no exception.... those that defied him or Naniko soon would soon learn why he had gained his rank within the pack and it had nothing to do with him being a charming guy.
Carefully he dismounted Hibiki, the mare stepping around abit before she settled down again. Running a hand lightly down her neck he pulled her reigns over her head, not trusting the mare to behave herself if left alone. Following suit Alexander dismounted, but unlike the Rakeeb Alex did not hold onto the stallions reigns; his horse Rian complacently sat there, content not to move or do anything. As if by habit Alex moved to stand to the Rakeeb's left side to protect the Rakeeb's blind spot, the young samurai mentally rolled his eyes and sighed before addressing the two strangers. “Names, your reasons for wanting to join Anathema and what skills you can offer mine and the Angela's pack” he asked all the questions at once to get things over and done with as quickly as possible.
