Blacktail Deer Plateau Good things take time

A guilty look crossed her features as Grayday mentioned that some of the wolves might only be here for the winter. He seemed wise to those who join packs in the winter just to stay alive, but he didn't sound angry about it. It gave her an opening to be honest with him.

Her ears folded softly on her head. I must confess, Grayday, she said, her voice soft, and a bit weary. I have a brother in Redhawk Caldera who was supposed to be starting his own pack. There is a war happening between them and another pack down south, and his loyalty is keeping him there. She paused before continuing. There isn't a timeframe any more of when he might start his pack, but... If you'll accept me, for however long I might be here, I assure you that I will contribute and I will not take more than I give. Of that, she was sure. She hoped he wouldn't be angry with her, and she waited with baited breath for his response.
