The Tangle tangled

Eljay shook his head at the question. "Not exactly, uh — they said I had to stay on the outskirts 'til I proved myself... So I thought if I'd find a good hunt I could call them and, uh, I dunno, provide something." He sighed lightly, feeling totally useless at anything that he could do out here. "But I'm not that good at initiating things, I just... I'm better at following orders in a hunt and watching pups 'n stuff."

Eljay kicked a rock with one of his front paws and looked back at the stranger as they semi-offered him a place to stay. He blinked in confusion, not sure why anyone would offer him a place when he was such a, well, dweeb. "Do you have a pack?" he asked in confusion, not directly answering the question because the idea someone'd just come up to him and offer him a place was so out-there to him.
