Hell it had been hot. Bangin' chicks always made the young Casanova feel on top of the world, but then again, who wouldn't? That's what life's all about after all, "procreate" they call it...

He didn't expect the cute loner to be at his side when he woke up, she was a naughty girl, probably not her style anyways, and even when the young warrior had expected to recruit her, he wasn't upset for how things turned out.

Slowly the male got up on his four, and with a wide yawn and a long stretch he was off for breakfast. But his intentions were interrupted by a long howl that called from the borders, and being a good warden as he was, Bane halted and turned around to attend the issue.

The call came from a loner, black, of course. It was like Blackfeather was a magnet for black wolves, as if it wasn't dark enough inside. The silver male lowered his pace until he was walking past the dark treeline, the bright moon reflecting in his ghostly eyes.

May I help you? he said with a smirk. Winter was just around the corner, and the pack was too small to get through it in good conditions, so every loner who came at their doors was a potential recruit that could be put to good use.

A good gamekeeper and protector he says. Bane watched closely the dark male as he spoke, these days they needed strong members to make it through the winter, which was Bane's biggest concern, but he was sure Meldresi had other plans for the pack, she was too dark-goddess-crazy for the young Kappa to believe they were here to be a happy family.

And how can I be sure of that, Alejandro? he asked, the other's name was strange, as if it was spoken in a foreign tongue Bane didn't know. We don't hire just anyone... he said trying to sound as it he had some kind of standards, but actually he knew an opportunity like this would be foolish to turn down. Alejando was a big wolf, tall and broad, which confirmed his ability to be a decent warden or maybe even a warrior. There weren't really any reasons to turn him down, but Bane wanted to make sure that he understood that things weren't that easy in Blackfeather, they were all expected to take part in everyday tasks, and slags wouldn't be tolerated.Speech

A leap of faith... Well, Bane just wasn't that kind of guy who puts his trust in every person who kindly asks for it. Bane had been a rogue his whole life, he had earned the few things he had, which were, well, few in every sense of the word, but he had earned without anyone else's help or pitty. Unfortunately that was just how things were from his own point of view. He wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for the night priestess who took him in without asking for anything in return, so far, and he would't even be alive if it wasn't for her.

"One moon. That's all you have to prove yourself, and if I'm not pleased with you after that... We'll see..." Bane said in a utterly serious tone to the dark male after a long silence, and stared him down with his disarming ghostly glare. The silver savage didn't actually have many choices, Blackfeather needed people, quickly, and turning an applicant down would be, in fact, the foolish thing to do. Bane toyed with others like this all the time, but if it was a coincidence to have set upon Alejandro the same sentence as Keith had gotten from the frost queen in the Ouroboros is uncertain.

The silver youth listened to every word Alejandro had to say. Hadn't it been something that concerned him, he would've rolled his eyes and ignore the other male, Bane hated to be caught in the middle of long conversations like these, but this was something important for the pack, and Alejandro had his attention.

Sounds like a good plan to me. bane said nodding. Food in Blackfeather wasn't as abundant as the lands surrounding it, but that wasn't a big problem, it just added a challenge to their lives. I'll be prepared, you just need to howl for me when the time is right. He said in a serious tone, trying to dismiss the conversation. It was all solved now, Alejandro got a place in the pack and he had a way to prove himself and earn his permanence, so in Bane's opinion there was nothing left to say, he was a man of few words.

Bane watched as the new member rushed away, a proactive member was what the pack needed these days. Alejandro seemed to be a strong wolf, big and active, and the silver Zeta didn't think he would have a hard time proving his worth to the pack, a good addition indeed.

Slowly, Bane walked away, introducing his bright body into the gloom of blackfeather once again. Meldresi needed to be informed of Keith's new recruit. Long leaps took him fastly to the heart of the forest, in search for the dark priestess.
