The Rite of Agares, as we call it, is performed when any unrelated canine joins the pack. Here is the joining page on our website if you wanna check it out 
Do you want to have a time-lapse happen in this thread, to where she thinks about things and returns with an answer? Or something else? I can't write a post with Severus separately from Naniko, as he is her NPC and she'd have to be in the post as well.
As much as Naniko wanted things to go smoothly and for the transition to be over with, she could appreciate the desire for time to think things over and make a true decision. She had made quite a few rash decisions of her own in her lifetime. "We would not want a canine who didn't want to be here. I find your request of more time to be acceptable, and you may remain in the territory as long as Severus or I accompanies you. We don't let strangers walk around here without a pack member present."
It was one of the laws that she, Alaki, and Aeron had come up with in regard to pack security. They could not allow a stranger that they did not know and that did not smell of the pack to walk around...for the pack's safety and for that newcomer's safety as well. Members would attack any outsider who was not accompanied, thinking that they were a trespasser. She still held the recent signs of such a struggle on her fur; they had not stopped to ask the canine if they were coming in because they wanted a view of the lands before they joined...they'd just attacked. He had crossed the border knowingly, and that was the consequence in Anathema.
