Porcupine Ridge A possible pack member

skipping Farstep with permission :)

Farstep, whose name was still not and would never be known to Taggarik, stood off to the side. Capriccio also did not interfere as the alpha male sought to test the loner's resolve and willingness to submit. The pack had a half-dozen males and only a couple females, and so he was inclined to be more particular about accepting any more.

So far, Taggarik was satisfied, even the male held a certain coldness about him, but he was not yet done. The length of his tail swayed to indicate his appreciation of the submission thus given, but he continued his test by leaning down to sniff noisily at the wolf's nape, before shifting around to his side. Without hesitance or ceremony, he sat his ass down right on top of the loner.

"Suppose we could use you for a pillow if nothing else," he commented lightly, shifting his haunches as if he really were trying to determine the wolf's suitability for a comfortable butt-rest, though in reality it was another test, another assertion of dominance. He glanced to Capriccio, who usually had questions for the loners. She was free to ask them, which he indicated with quirked brow and a slight tip of his head.
