luck and pluck

"I know," was Floki's eager reply to Amekaze's introduction. His tail waved steadily behind him, expressing his excitement. He liked her already -- there was something mysterious about her appearance and the way she spoke, but at the same time she was regal. He could see why Charon had decided that she would be a good co-Alpha.

He shifted his gaze to his brother as the freckled yearling launched into a long-winded series of explanations and questions. But Floki listened to each and every word, nodding his head in agreement when it seemed to be appropriate. He wanted to show his allegiance not only to Charon but to Amekaze, as well. His tail accelerated in its swinging at the mention of Moonspear, and he glanced at the Sunspire wolf, wondering if she would be accepting of that location.

At some point, he noticed some movement from the corner of his eye, and turned his head to look. Atreyu must have heard the call, as well, for he lingered a few feet behind the pair of brothers. He seemed to be curious, but did not want to engage in the conversation. Floki flashed him an encouraging smile -- although Atreyu's initial response to Charon's idea had made Floki angry, he truly did like the three-legged wolf and wanted him to come on board fully.
