Silvertip Mountain Joining

Steady's large frame was partially concealed behind a tree as he watched the female with narrowed eyes. She had been circling the area for a short while and he had happened upon her while patrolling the borders. He thought she would have called for a leader, or anyone, by this point, but she just kept on. He had no idea what she was up to. Maybe she was building up the courage to trespass and try to steal their food. It wouldn't be the first time.

Growing tired of waiting to see what she would do, Steady emerged from the forest line, trotting towards her with the poise and confidence of a Beta, his ears perked and eyes almost drilling into her. A low growl released from his throat as both a warning and a greeting. He was generally more pleasant towards strangers, but she had put him on edge by hanging out here. He stopped a few meters from her. What are you doing here? he demanded. If she refused to answer, or if he had an inkling she was lying, he would run her off.

Mara eyes widened and ears perked at the greeting of this very large male. She assumed he had some power in the pack, with his bold appearance. She cautiously backed away a few inches. I was hoping to join your pack, she explained. Mara straightened her posture to give some sort of respectful air about her. Not wanting to seem weak, but worthy to the pack. Although she was intimidated by him, and also a little frightened, she hid all that with a polite but tall stance.

She could tell he was aggravated by something, probably her being so close to the border. Mara had thought multiple times to call for someone, but didn't build the courage-- more of didn't want to disrupt. 

Mara subconsciously tilted her head to the side, her thoughts wondering off and thinking about how she never noticed him before. Sure, her scent has failed her multiple times but he was so large and muscular, how could she not have spot him?

Hopefully her sight wasn't leaving her.
