Redhawk Caldera New Places

Although the stranger seemed to catch herself, Towhee didn't feel satisfied when she lowered herself and backed away. The mercenary regarded the she-wolf coldly. There was very little (if any) room in the ranks, so it was tempting to chase her off and be done with it. But more than ever lately, her aspirations for leadership were top of mind when Towhee dealt with outsiders at the borders. She thought to herself now, What would Uncle Elwood do?

"You didn't give me your name. Why did you choose this pack? And what can you contribute?" Towhee demanded, voice harsh in the quiet, wintry air. Perhaps if the stranger wound up possessing some exceptional skills, then the guardian could summon one of her godparents for a final assessment. But Towhee sincerely doubted it would get to that point; she certainly wasn't impressed so far.
