Firestone Hot Springs sunday morning

Surprisingly, Issun - the black wolf soon introduced himself - accepted FitzDutiful's invitation to join the pack. It was interesting how, by not trying too hard, he was able to recruit lone wolves easier than when he had been actively pursuing and tracking down lone wolves (then he had rarely come across one let alone found one that wanted to join).

"It's nice to meet you, Issun." FitzDutiful said, returning the smile, "and Fitz is fine by me." he was building up quite the collection of nicknames from the various wolves that he met in the valley. It was nice, that way, for each of them had a unique aspect instead of one common experience that they all shared. "If you don't mind waiting I'll give you a guided tour, or you're welcome to head up the mountain and make yourself at home."

Either way, Issun was part of the pack and, hopefully, part of the family too.
