Null listened intently to everything Draugr had to say, nodding along earnestly to show that she understood. She assumed that by 'old game' the wolfdog ment more traditional submission rules, as the mottled wolf was well aware that many canines had begun to abandon their own ways in favour of those of humans. Null herself was far more comfortable with her instinctive submission than with any silly pseudo-human ritual that anyone could come up with, so the information that she had best follow her instincts was a huge relief.
Did she have any last-minute questions? Not that she could think of. Draugr had told her what to do, and it pretty much covered her concerns. She was still worried that she had forgotten something important, but that was probably just unnecessary panicking on her part. She had a gift. She had the right stance. She knew not to speak without being spoken too, and to follow her instincts. She had Draugr here, too, and Draugr would speak to the Boss first. She felt that her chances were probably much better with the earthen-toned wolfdog here to help.
I don't think so. I'm ready. Thank you. She wagged her low tail a little and answered Draugr's small smile with one of her own. Now, all she had to do was meet the Boss and convince her that she would be a worthwhile member of the pack. Surely that couldn't be too hard? Draugr had seemed very interested in Null's trapping, so that was clearly a valuable skill that Null possessed. Surely the Boss would like to add that to her pack. She needed to stop panicking-- she didn't want to mess up in front of Draugr and the Boss. That was probably more of a risk than being turned away for lack of skill, actually. So, if she just managed to not panic and freak out everything would be fine!
