Swiftcurrent Creek connection

They did not seem to mind the honesty in which he spoke – he was familiar with the joining process, having gone through it a few times now, and at times, delivered the questions himself. Never before had he, however, made it clear to the pack that he was also questioning them – or, at least, judging them and whether or not they were the wolves he felt he could fully swear himself too. Scimitar was many things, but a liar was not one of them – nor could he be accused of unloyalty. His promise to the packs of the past few months had been no more than that of a mercenary – he would deliver them a service, and in turn, would remain with them and have access to their caches. It had worked well.

But it was not enough.

The pale dove offered her name in turn, and the male noted how close the two seemed – lovers, perhaps? As age mates, it would not be unexpected. Yet the connection they shared could also have been nothing more than the bound duty of a pack mate.. the relationships he longed to hold once more.

His eyes drifted briefly to fall upon the chest of the darker male, not once glancing him in the eyes. Jace, as he had introduced himself as earlier, was quick to inform him of the land he encroached upon, but no more than the name of their Alpha – another sole leader, it seemed, as Muirrin and Chakra had also been.

His jaws opened to respond to the question when a fiery figure approached – her regal stance was enough to give way her rank within the pack, and as such, Scimitar’s jaws clicked shut once more, his aqua gaze roaming to the she-wolf’s paws as she made to greet her pack mates. The question rung out again – even more to the point than before. “I possess the same skills as many – hunter, scout, guardian. In the past, I have aimed for the role as warden or warrior.” There was a small pause as he recalled his attempts at the fallen Tuatha De and Neverwinter Forest – time in his life he wished he could have back. “More importantly, I bring the desire of running with a pack once more and the loyalty that comes with it if the pack is a good fit.” As in.. as long as they weren’t a pack that claimed undying loyalty only to have their leaders skitter away in to the dark of night.. or as long as they weren’t batshit crazy.
