Sunbeam Lair All I want to do is move on [joining]

The wistful tone that the sleek female's voice had taken on surprised him for a moment- it was much different from the firm voice she had used before, but instead of shocking him, it reassured him. At least, he wouldn't be confronted with such a stern figure every day, if he was accepted. However, he was abruptly drawn out his thoughts when the green-eyed wolf began to speak again, bringing a small smile to his face at the insult she threw his way. Ah, he supposed he deserved it, and it wasn't in a malevolent manner. "Understood." He replied simply, a tiny prickle of irritation sparking inside him, as his pride raised its ugly head, before Xio shut him down, reminding himself sternly that this female had offered his some valuable advice. "Xio," He returned. "Pardon my rudeness." The face that she had revealed herself as an omega took him by surprise. She certainly didn't seem like it, from her personality to the feel of her presence. Hmm, he wouldn't linger on it too much, she seemed like a good enough wolf, and if it was just a misunderstanding, it couldn't be too serious.

For the second time since he had set foot on Ryujin territory, he ears pricked up as the sound of a strong answering howl rippled through the air. At the approach of the other female, Xio instantly knew that this female demanded respect. Even if Ezimette hadn't of clued him in on who would be the next to arrive, he would have been able to guess. "I wish you no ill-will," He confirmed the black-furred femme assumption, before pausing so he could decided how to answer the questions asked of him.  "The winters are harsh alone, I have no wish to go through another. I have come to ask, if I may, for a place in your pack." Perhaps, it would have been wiser to wait outside the borders, but what was done was done. He maintained eye contact while he spoke to her, but allowed his body language to become submissive and less-threatening, to show that he really did mean no harm.
