Phoenix Maplewood they've got the kingdom locked up

It would take time to get used to the borders and the lay of the land but he isn't worried. He picks things up relatively easily and the leaders thought he'd be a good pick for the pack so he'd proven himself, at least initially. Now it is a matter of proving he can keep his word and be the wolf he told them about.  He continues to follow the scent that the alphas and other wolves have marked over time to familiarize himself but he doesn't realize how suspicious it looks to others. Ukko hasn't been there very long to give him the advantage. 

He catches the scent of her before she speaks and he turns to look, ears cupped forward in attention. The accusing question doesn't faze him, able to brush off the confusion. 

"Because I live here."

Ukko lets it linger a few moments as he turns to completely face her. His posture was low and relaxed. 

"As of today, I mean. I was just learning the borders myself. I'm Ukko."

He'd never joined a pack before so the protocol is new to him. He had been young when in his other land and he didn't contribute much before he left. Nonetheless, he follows his gut and tries to off another smile in hopes it would lighten the situation.
