Phoenix Maplewood in the waiting line.

As soon as Reek heard the call, the alpha male woke from his nap and began to work his way to it's source. Due to the extent of his injuries, his pace toward the border was slow, but he limped onward without complaint.  As always, he was late to the party... but this time he had an adequate excuse. Also, it seemed Ukko was doing a rather fine job at keeping the newcomer busy, along with doing the whole new-member spiel himself.

Limping out of the brush, Reek made his presence known with a low chuff before taking his place at Ukko's side. Despite his condition, Reek's body language was strong and confident. His tail and head remained held high with pride, but he did not utter a word. Ukko had done a fine job this far, and Reek wanted to see just how well he would do on his own.
