With with his attention now focused back on Asterr, Hadraniel paid little mind to the snowy furred female that observed from the sidelines. She was not the one that would determine if he was accepted or not and therefore she meant little to him in this moment. He unknowingly grew stiff when the chieftess aimed to give her answer, but as soon as the words left her mouth Hadraniel let a relieved sigh come flowing from his lips. His smile he shot the inky leader was sincere and was worth more than a million words he could possibly mutter out.

Her question though caused him to think a bit, something he utterly despised. He couldn't predict the future and couldn't promise her that he would remain for the warmer months but..."as long as there is not a solid reason for me to leave then I will remain here for as long as I can." He would not promise his loyalty to her, but as long as Hadraniel remained here Ryūjin would have one more set of paws fighting for it's cause.
