Sen had been a decent ways off from the borders when the howl sliced through the silence around her. Her ears had perked up immediately, knowing the voice did not belong to any of their members. Of course, that alone was enough to have her slender frame lurching forward, ears pushed forward as she set herself on a direct course for the borders. The closer she got, the more the wind had shared with her. There were two canines, both female, one being a member of the sanctuary. The other, however, was different. Similar, in some unknown way, but not enough so that she was able to place a face to the fragrance. When she had finally arrived at the border, tail and head raised, it became apparent why she'd found some fiber of familiarity within the unknown scent. It was a hybrid who'd summoned them, just like the child they'd already allowed to live amongst them.

Speaking of which, it seemed as if the mother of the half-dog child had decided to answer the calling of the unknown being. That did not deter the Gorgon woman, though, as she'd walked on forward, crossing the pack's threshold and entering the region of unclaimed land. Thankfully, she'd caught the stranger's name (by a hair), allowing her to avoid having to ask for it. She had not, however, heard Lyric's question, but assumed as much anyways. "I'm guessing you're here to join," she'd stated, watching the stranger. "What skills can you offer us?" Sanctuary or not, she couldn't allow herself to just let anyone in without first hearing what they could provide in return for the pack's protection.

The woman had caught her pack mate's bow in her peripheral, but made no move to acknowledge the gesture. Her focus had to remain upon the stranger, gaze narrowed and cryptic as she looked her over. An ear flicked in Lyric's direction as she spoke, speaking lightly with the outsider. The way her voice sounded made it seem as if the two had known one another for years beyond their lifetimes. Of course, Sen didn't really bother to question that, figuring it was just how the mother was. She had to be, right? Couldn't be, well, like the Gorgon and have a child at the same time—something like that just seemed like a recipe for disaster. Mentally, the observation was shaken off, offering to the potential recruit her full attention once more.

Perhaps Sen would have been impressed, and showing it, if she were capable of expressing such an emotion towards strangers. As it presently stood, however, her dull expression did not falter. Her gaze did not soften in even the slightest, nor did her lips twitch in an attempt to display some sort of emotion. She was stoic, as always, unchanging. Alas, her outer demeanor was a terrible display in regards to her innermost thoughts. She was curious, to say the least, wondering just how well the outsider's skills were since she'd been practicing since childhood. Not a moment was given for her to fire another round of questions at Teci, for the young mother had reminded them of her presence there.

The Gorgon's eyes had snapped to her pack mate in an instant, regarding her step forward with a scrutinous gaze. While the question was worthy of being asked, Sen could not look past the movement. She knew the type of wolf Depp was, knew of the vision he had for Seadog, but there were certain aspects of herself that simply couldn't be stomped out. She had needed to bite her tongue, so to speak, and refrain from snapping out some vulgar string of words. It was difficult when the male was not there, as the balance they'd achieved was disrupted and left to tip and tilt in whichever direction. "Give your answer, and we'll go from there," the woman had managed to utter, tearing her eyes away from Lyric. Sen knew not what the true answer was, having never taken an interest in the healing properties of plants, which forced her to rely upon the rusty coloured wolf knowing what she was talking about. It was a problematic situation in her mind.

The step backwards was approved up, albeit silently, by the serpentine woman. She still had to get used to controlling herself, to keeping herself from slipping into her old ways—well, her old ways as a leader. Sen was still very much the same, personality wise, as she'd always been, and that would most likely never change. To be more controlled was something she could sparsely manage, however, just enough so to keep herself from driving out all those she had a personal issue with. The situation was pushed along through the rough patch as the hybrid gave an answer, giving to the Gorgon something else to focus her mind upon.

According to Lyric, the answer was only partially right. It wasn't so wrong as to lead to damage being done to an injured being, but it also wasn't perfect. No matter, it would settle for the time being. "Seeing as you were only partially right, I expect you to put an extra effort into learning more so you don't make that mistake again," the woman had stated. "If you can do that, then I guess I can let you join."

An agreement was met; in return for her acceptance into the pack, the hybrid would work hard to learn more about the various medicinal herbs. And, as difficult as it had been, Sen had stayed true to the vision her co-leader possessed in regards to Seadog. A sanctuary that accepted others no matter of their background and the like, just as long as they never caused unnecessary trouble. Without the male having been there to remind her, she'd nearly gone against such an ideal, but had thankfully managed to rein in her personal opinions at the last possible moment.

The woman was ready to leave and carry out her duties elsewhere, but paused mid-turn when the young mother spoke. An offering to show the newest member around, huh? That gave her an idea. "Lyric," she stated, the calling meant to acquire the other's attention. "Since you seem interested in Teci here, I'm leaving you as being responsible for her." Not only would it give the two a chance to bond, but it also meant the Gorgon wouldn't have to lead the hybrid around and give the grand tour. "My name's Sen, by the way. The other leader here is known as Depp. Remember those names." The words were meant for Teci, of course, as was signaled by a brief glance her way. After that, Sen had taken her leave, heading off towards the heart of the ravine.
