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

It was a good thing, perhaps, that Asterr was the forgiving sort. Sometimes it took a bit more effort to regain her favour after having lost it, but never could she hold a long-standing grudge. Such negativity was something she could not afford, for it only ever served as fuel for the dragon within. Consequently, she was already on the path to forgiving him, offering a slight nod of her head to show acknowledgement of his apology. Even if she had wanted to do so, holding it against him would have been quite irrational. If his words were true, if he'd really been a loner for the majority of his life, then it would be foolish to expect him to be aware of every little custom. Still, she knew she would need to stay on it and ensure the lesson was truly learned, lest he end up wandering onto someone else's land.

Whether the male's abilities were similar to others' within the tribe or not mattered little, given exactly what they were. Having another hunter amongst them would never have a downside, especially considering the fact that her most recent recruit was incapable of such. The rest of his words were taken into account just as well, being filed away for consideration. "It would be most unwise to turn away such a capable hunter, if your words are as true as you make them out to be," she began, easing up every so slightly while still maintaining her dominant stance. "However, you must know that, in regards to your other skills, we are not a tribe that seeks battle. We are a peaceful claim, mostly keeping to ourselves and out of the line of fire." Now, anyways. Back at the dome, they'd been right on the field of a battle, but such was no longer the case. They were alone within their lair, able to keep to themselves and retain internal peace and serenity.

"I would like to accept you, but do understand that given your disregard of our borders, I cannot do so as easily as I would like to." No, something had to be done prior to his acceptance, prior to her request for his loyalty. "Are you currently well enough to prove to me your skills as a hunter?" she questioned, revealing to him a test. Of course, Asterr would not force him to do so if he was not currently in the right state of body. Such would lead only to disaster, as well as be a terrible representation of what he could offer them.
