Horizon Ridge [J] Forever in the Black

Pump listened to, what Ragnar had to say about this lady and it was quite clear that he was annoyed by her, which was not the case with the wolf-dog. Diluculo was so full of herself - brash and confident - not begging for mercy, rather offering her skills for the greater good of their pack. If they said no - she would turn her back and find elsewhere to live. To her Horizon ridge wasn't the only chance - a mere stop on her journey in finding a new home.

Pump saw so much of her former self in this she-wolf, that she began to like her almost immediately and was amused by her manner of talking. Disrespect and sarcasm - these were things she could live with as long as the she-wolf would do her best to blend in and didn't challenge Pump for her rank. "Very well then..." the alphess spoke after a brief pause. "Just as much we have to earn your respect, you will have to earn ours too," Pump began and raised her eyebrows.

"I don't expect proud and strong wolves bow down to me, since this is a thing I wouldn't do myself. However, a common courtesy is a must," she fixed her gaze at the she-wolf and held it for a while. "Besides... what do you think of bears?"
