Redtail Rise burn like a fire inside

Whoever this kid was, he certainly understood the merits of brevity.  Reek's stance remained unchanged for the bulk of the youngster's explanation, however after hearing that he was Gunnar's brother, his forceful stance dropped a bit.  Although Reed didn't really know Gunnar personally, as he'd only seen him around pack lands briefly, the fact that this visitor had a family member within the pack allowed Reek to relax a bit.  However, without speaking to Gunnar directly, the validity of this wolves claims couldn't be validated, however, the raggedy wolf decided to humor him and take his word at face value.  

In truth, Reek would have turned this wolf away without a word if he hadn't mentioned his kin residing in the pack.  He simply would have howled for Arion and watched the stallion run him out.  But, even in Reek's paranoiac state, he knew the Rise needed all the able bodied wolves that they could sink their claws into... especially now in the wake of the disappearances.

"You're in Redtail Rise," Reek explained, keeping his gaze locked on the slate-black wolf.  "I can take your brother a message if you want.  Or, you can stay... we do have room.  First, you need to prove yourself to me... What are you good at, how can we use you?"
