better and better (joining)

Charon rolled his eyes when the stranger finished grooming himself. What a place to do such a thing. Charon remained tall, making sure the stranger knew his place upon his borders, even though his question hadn't been unfriendly. He saw the wolf eye the wounds on his shoulder, but no comments were made about them. Then an introduction followed. Adya. Sounded a bit like a girl's name to Charon, but he made no comment about it.

A confident smile curled around Charon's lips as the wolf said they were interested in joining their pack. They had barely begun their plans to merge packs and already good fortune was upon them in the form of more wolves to bolster their ranks with. "Yes, I'm the pack's Beta. And soon to be Alpha." Charon scrutinised the stranger, wondering if he'd see surprise that a yearling like he had managed to reach such heights. "Anyway, can you hunt? What're you good at?" Because even though Charon was secretly excited to welcome a newcomer into their ranks, he still was going to need useful wolves for his ranks if they were to get through winter well.
