Swiftcurrent Creek A new hope [IC Joining]

Jace really was the model pack-mate. Had he claimed the Beta position before her, Bazi would likely have struggled to hide her jealousy - but he took it in his stride. Everyone served the pack, of course, and she knew that, but doing so from the top was rather more satisfying. In that sense, she was a lesser soul than he - for all the darkness the trouble Gamma claimed to possess.

Bazi angled an ear in his direction, but failed to catch the murmured words. Something something good? "Jace, what say you we introduce this one to Scout?" she said, moving in a tight circle around the pale loner. They looked very much alike, and that bothered Bazi on some vain level - she prized the uniqueness of her coat in the south, but the Creek was now flooded with white, blue-eyed girls. Similar physique, similar bright, sweet personality.. at least, that was what Bazi the Beta had originated from. She was harder now, and less bouncy - more like her mother every day.

She stopped at the petite wolf's shoulder, facing Jace. "They can prepare for that coast trip together. Do you want to come, by the way, my great and handsome guardian?" This was accompanied by a toothy grin - Jace had proven himself useful on the road, and this time he wouldn't have to carry anything. Alyss would presumably be thrilled to earn her place, and whatever opinion she had of the suggestion was not taken into account.

I'm going to title you and send Alyss on her way to find Scout with Jace as a 'first mission'. :D
