Duck Lake Show and tell

There was a lot to like about Orkan. On a personal level, Qamar found him charming and humorous and enjoyed his company. As someone scouting potential recruits for Ryujin, she thought the black wolf could offer a lot to her tribe. They needed all the help they could get, and when the herds returned, the more wolves the better for hunting big game.

She smiled in acceptance of his compliment on her catch, and gave him kudos in turn for his second-round success. They were putting together a respectable pile here. Qamar dipped her nose to try for another, but came up empty, dripping maw scowling as she surfaced and shook her head.

"Slippery little things," she said ruefully, glaring at the fish swimming frantically around beneath the surface of the water. Looking back at Orkan, she let a half-smile melt over her features again. "So, if I might ask, what are your plans here, both short-term and long-term? Do you wish to remain alone or seek entry into a group?" These questions she asked everybody, looking for answers that may prod her to take the loner to the Sunspire for a further interview with Asterr.

She did not push him further on his telling his backstory. He looked as uncomfortable with sharing the details as she had felt when it was her turn to speak of her own tale. Qamar hoped that his sour past experiences with a pack would not cloud his judgement when it came to considering joining a group.
