Swiftcurrent Creek Fool's gold [IC joining]

I've been listening to the Game of Thrones audiobook, and now I "hear" whatever I read in that guy's voice. <__<

The lady's response was nothing Fox hadn't heard before, but she listened anyway. The true test would come as Danica found her place in the pack. Without a word or a warning, Fox stepped forth and brushed her shoulder hard against Danica. It was the Alpha's way of marking her new recruits—the way of the wolf. She did not believe that the lady was a threat, so there was little for the creek to lose if they took her in. She was able-bodied and well-spoken, two valuable assets.

"I want you to seek out the Beta, Njal. He and some others are going to make a trip to a newly-settled pack nearby and attempt to scare them away from us. You will be a good addition to the warning party." It was not a question, but an order. If the lady refused, she was essentially refusing the creek as her home, and Fox would chase her away without a second thought.
