Swiftcurrent Creek Fear knows no bounds...

Oh you can be sure, Ferdie Von Pelt, knew exactly what he was doing.
But it is just his character that he had to sure the other wolf did too.

He winced inwardly though his facial expression did not change, thus hiding the fact he realized he had made a mistake. Though it was in every fiber of his being to test the limits of other wolves patience, to test their dominance and desire to enforce rules that should be enforced.
How he hated testing the mettle of the other wolves in front of the alpha. The alpha should never knew this quirk of his.

Ferdie’s gaze moved to her face and then to her feet; he knew how to submit of course and when he did he meant it. His voice grew softer and less rough with more use, his accent becoming more pleasant, holding a slight canadian undertone to it. Giving light to the fact he must have veritably traveled a long distance. “Indeed, Milady. Young and yet Wise beyond your years,” he complimented her with all his heart, truth rang in his words.

He stood and quickly lowered his chest to the ground picking up the rabbit and setting nearly atop her feet, nudging it with his nose toward the pair.

He huffed at himself “It goes to prove that wisdom does not come with age” He slumped his shoulders even in this position to prove he was, at least in front of her, properly contrite “I have spent many months alone and have seemed to have forgotten my pack manners along the way, I beg forgiveness from you both.” He lay his ears down upon his skull he truly was sorry for testing this male .... ... ... in front of the alpha

So much for first impressions, he had wrecked this one, and now he would have a lot of ground to make up in impressing her, inwardly he bit his own tail. He knew alpha's were never far away from a new comer so why why was he... himself. Why couldn't he just have kept his crazy to himself until after he made a place for himself. The ice was thin and he had made it so...

Ferdie’s tail hung limp. He was one snip, from either wolf, away; from rolling onto his back and into full submission before the one he desired to call My Alpha.”
And though it would irk him to do so in front of the male, he was not below showing the male a proper submission to the alpha either.
