Northstar Vale transfixed

Lyrical. It was a peculiar name, at least that was Rannoch's first impression of it, but in time he was introduced to another name: Arrow. He nodded at this, finding himself more fond of the later offering. She elaborated to tell him that she was interested in joining the ranks and he tilted his head slightly, the movement betraying his surprise he felt internally. He admired that she had gotten straight to the point, but as quickly as she had built herself up in his eyes, she faltered. 

Rannoch had never had to join a pack before so he couldn't relate on the nervousness, but, despite this disconnection, Rannoch felt that he could sympathize. "You're doing great," he admitted with a smile. Had she have introduced herself differently, than Rannoch would have found himself with a different reply to her insecurities. 

With a new topic for the two to talk upon, Rannoch turned his attention briefly to regard the scaling landscape. The pack had been lucky to find that this real estate was open for them to claim, as Rannoch couldn't have pictured a place more picturesque than the Vale. "It is really pretty," he countered kindly once he had returned his attention to her. There would be time later to talk up the aesthetics of their home. Presently, Rannoch was concerned with what she could offer to the pack.

"So, Arrow, tell me a little about yourself," he prompted in an attempt to redirect their conversation. "What brought you here and what skills do you possess?"
