Redtail Rise Quest Complete

Reek appeared in short order, and seemed pleasantly surprised that Oliver had been able to complete his task. The skinny wolf stuck his narrow chest out proudly. "It was nothing," he said, even as he felt like keeling over from exhaustion.

So when Reek told him he didn't even need the plants, Oliver's jaw went slack. "Wait...what?" he asked in a small voice, sounding as if on the verge of tears. All that work had been for nothing? Did that mean he wasn't going to get into the pack? Oliver was quiet for a moment, then caught Reek's smirk and cracked up. "Man, you're kind of a jerk," he told the other male through his laughter.

He'd passed the Beta male's test, and was made an official member of Retail Rise. Oliver's tail thwaped the ground. "I am honored," he said, playing along with Reek.
