Ovaltine. It was an interesting name - he pondered it for a moment for no particular reason other than it interested him, then FitzDutiful turned his attention to the question that the mottled male had asked him. Was he here on the borders looking to join? It didn't seem quite like that, but FitzDutiful knew - even now - that every wolf would be welcome. "Silvertip Mountain," he answered and, without missing a beat, decided to be outright with his question. "Are you looking for a place to make a home?"

It could have been that he was asking to find out whether this wolf wanted to make the mountain his home, but it could also be interpreted as to whether the wolf was looking for anywhere in general to make a home. He wanted to recruit wolves and it was getting to a stage where he wouldn't be picky, but he still had his children to think of and they were young. Lone wolves that he accepted too hastily could be a danger that he had to think of.
