Northstar Vale friends in high places

Regan nodded in response to her question about Canada's location, his mouth full of meat leaving him unable to vocalize without sounding rude. He moved to the side so she would be able to get better access to the good parts of the carcass without having to be pressed against him, something that normally the flirtatious male wouldn't mind in the least but for some reason he didn't want to behave like that with this female.

Her next question made him pause and he finished chewing as he though about how to answer it. "Maybe.....Maybe I can't see it happening because I do not want a high rank unless I see the need to step in and take it to help the pack out" he responded choosing his words carefully as he puzzled over the reason why he couldn't imagine himself as a high rank. She was right though, everyone here was so young and he wondered if they had enough experience to get themselves through the winter. Young Chusi, the girl who had accepted him at the borders seemed intelligent enough and he hoped she knew what she was doing as Alpha. 

"From what you've seen so far.....does this pack seem capable of surviving the winter?" he asked her, turning his attention fully on her instead of the carcass. He only asked because if not he wanted to do whatever he could to get them all through, even if that meant having a one on one meeting with Chusi about it.
