Moonlit Hills' borders were a busy place, where every now and then, a new loner showed up. Some with potential, like Silver. She had not been with them from the start, but she had been one of the first to be recruited after they had settled. She knew what they stood for, where she should be, and how she had to do her job. There had also been a few... less good, like the mother with her child. Malice had already forgotten both of their names, but she remembered how disrespectful they had been. Showing up at MH's borders with no idea of who you were and what you could do was something the queen despised. Not only that, the young brat also had the guts to talk back. 

But rethinking old actions wasn't why she was trotting toward the borders again. It was a call from the young warrior that made her leave her warm den. The call was specifically for leadership, and she wondered why. Was someone challenging another member for a rank? She hoped so, as no one had yet done it. The call didn't sound urgent, but Malice couldn't help but to quicken her trot towards the sound.

She arrived after a few minutes, seeing the young fighter, the Beta of Moonlit, and yet another white loner. They had spots open for anyone to take, as long as they met Moonlit Hills' requirements. She approached them, calm and sophisticated, imitating her role model, Burke. Her tail was only a bit higher than Sage's, not braggy, but to get the point across to the new face. Sage was also a leader, a fine one indeed, but Malice would have the final words. She stopped next to Issun, giving him a look that said; why did you call? If the loner was seeking to join them, couldn't she have called herself? Was she too lazy, or perhaps mute? Whatever it was, The queen had to greet her members first. She touched Issun's shoulder with her muzzle, actually trying to sniff out where he had been, but also as a greeting. After that, she walked up to Sage, giving her the same greeting, but flashed a smile at her. It wasn't something she did regularly after having been 'divorced' but she felt like the young Beta deserved it.

Good morning, Sage, Issun. She said, speaking calmly after her smile had disappeared. And new face. Please, state your name and business here if you can speak. She asked, not knowing if the girl could say anything. Issun was the one who had called out in the first place, so perhaps he could explain the situation if she wasn't able to.

The widow respected her members, thus they were free to add anything to this conversation. She was still just a bit new to being a leader, even if it ran in her blood. She had been beta in her former pack, but no-one ever showed up at their borders. They worked all on their own, all in control of Lucifer, Malice' father. They praised the devil for his doings, and most wolves were genuinely bad at heart. Malice had been one of them, she had the same darkness in her soul, but Teekon had changed her. She was slowly growing into a more open persona, one that listened and understood. Of course she had lots to learn, but that would come in time. For now, she was just doing the best she could to care for the ones she loved as family.

It seemed the other two moonlit wolves would let her do the talking, an honor, really. She just hoped they knew that decision making wasn't only for her though, and that they could ask wolves wanting to join anything. Speaking of the wolf who wanted to join, she had stated her name and the reason why she was here. It was a short answer, but she had answered what Malice had asked of her. So it was Issun that was now seeking for others to join, interesting. She rather liked her members doing things she hadn't asked, and this was one of them. 

Rhiannon, She started, making sure to pronounce her name right. We are a pack that cares for each other like family. We fight to protect what is ours and we share our knowledge. If you truly want to be a Moonlit wolf, you will have to work for it. We don't want any slackers in the pack, and I hope you can pull your weight. She stated, keeping a serious tone, yet her gentleness found a way into her voice. With that said, can you please tell us what you are good in, and what trades you would like to acquire?

"I'm not one to slack off, if something needs done then it is done. It's as simple as that." Rhiannon said without much thought but what she said was true, each member of her old pack had a duty and slacking off wasn't tolerated. Even the pups were taught their respected roles as soon as they were able to leave the den."I am good with plants and herbs and determine which one's are safe to consume and which ones would be great for poisoning. I was also wwent on the hunting trips along  with being sent out to hunt on my own often."

Malice listened and the words she heard sounded like honey. They needed a healer, badly, and what better healer to pick than one that didn't slack off. With Veritas gone, they had none that could heal the sick and injured. And heeeelll no, Malice wasn't going to be a weird witch with all those plants and stuff. Stars and the night sky intrigued her much more. Not saying she wasn't open for any information about the healer trade though.

Our healer has left us, therefore we are desperate for a new one. A hunter we could use also, so I guess you'd be a nice recruit for our pack. She said, a serious but gentle tone breaking the silence. Very well then. If there are no objections, I see no issue with letting you join us. Our former healer has left us a gift, God bless her soul, near the lake inside our territory. It's easy to spot. It's a Healer's Den, and I believe she even has left us some herbs. I guess there would be the place you will call home at night, as well as Phantom Hollow as a whole. She said, a side eye to her members. If they didn't want her in the pack, they were aloud to say so, and if they had valuable reasons for not wanting her, perhaps the queen would reconsider her thoughts.

If not, she would ask Rhiannon this: Shall I escort you to the lake then? While also giving a bow to both Issun and Sage as a goodbye. She was happy she didn't have to recruit members alone, for she found it an awfully dreading process. After, she would lead the new face to the stream and leave her there in the dark, spooky woods and return to the borders.
