Ankyra Sound holding out for a hero

Ty frowned when Eljay explained that they weren't going to give him a second chance. What kind of über-strict pack would do that? She looked at the looming figure in the distance, wondering if Eljay would even like living there. The other wolf didn't approach, and Ty squinted at her, wondering why she was being so aloof. If she wanted Eljay in her pack, why was she making him do this? If she didn't want him, why didn't she just tell him so? Ty looked back to Eljay, then spoke.

"Do you think she wants you there? Not your cousin, but the leader. Because let me tell you something Eljay, I do want you to come to the plateau, get stronger, and help us with whatever skills are your best." She couldn't make the decision for him—that wasn't her place—but she could make her thoughts known. Even if he decided to join this other pack and it didn't work out, she'd take him in, no questions asked. She had a soft heart that had seen rejection too many times to do it herself.
