Hushed Willows Ghostly Shadow

Mostly satisfied with the delayed show of submission, Banner nodded to the white female.  It was enough for now.  We're a small pack with many young mouths to feed - what can you offer Marauder's Keep? she asked, her voice steady.  She wasn't used to being so formal within the confines of her own borders and it made her a bit uncomfortable, but she didn't give any outward indication such feelings.  This was an interview, after all, and she wasn't the one who had anything to prove.

Truthfully, the short Alpha wasn't sure if she could afford to turn anyone away.  All wolves could hunt and their caches needed to be filled for the winter months - adult wolves were much more useful in that regard.  They could take care of themselves and pitch in with the youngsters.  Banner offered a small, friendly smile to Gwen in an awkward attempt to lessen the tension between them.
