Red kept her stance friendly and wagged her tail at the approaching wolf, who seemed to be not fully grown. An older pup or a yearling, maybe? “Hey there,” she replied to the young female’s greeting. Maybe this would go well, although surely someone so young couldn’t the Alpha of a pack. “I’m lookin’ for your Alpha,” she began. “I was hoping to join this pack, if you guys are accepting new members.” She didn’t want to go into too much detail about what she could do to help out. This one wasn’t the Alpha and she didn’t want to repeat herself to whoever ended up being the Alpha. “I’m Red, by the way. Well…” She paused. “My name is actually Cardinal, like the bird, but no one calls me that. It’s good to see a friendly face after so long traveling alone.” She smiled openly, green eyes kind and warm.
