Bearclaw Valley To the ends of the Earth

This was an iffy situation so far, it could go either way. His gaze was still wary but as he watched the female simply went to sit between them and the white male and he realized she was doing exactly what he was. She was claiming and protecting the alpha male and simply scoping them out. That fact soothed him and his muscles slowly relaxed before the sharp tone made him turn back to one who could quite possibly beat him up and who was a threat in physical terms. The flash of fang was noted and though he personally thought it wasn't nescessary he didn't want to fuck this up, so he dropped his eyes and flattened his ears, going so far as to tuck his tail and chin "Sir I meant no offense. I'll of course take my place beneath everyone in this pack as I am to be new if accepted." He said honestly, his tone holding no trace of grovelling though that was what it could come across as. He wasn't a moocher and he wasn't someone to expect a place in a pack without working for it, he wanted that clear. He wouldn't walk into any pack and expect an automatic high standing.

Keeping his posture he did however turn his gaze to look at Onyx, who looked quite nervous. She spoke up and said she was able to hunt for herself and woulf be of use and he almost protested, jaws parting as his voice rose noislessly up his throat to speak before he stopped himself. She knew what she doing, this man was obviously one who wouldn't allow them in unless she could work. Then the alpha male spoke again and he had to shut his mouth to keep from jumping to both his and Onyx's defense. Did they honestly look like two low lives who would waltz in and expect to get everything handed to them? He released a slow and quiet breath through his nostrils,mentally checking himself. They needed this and in the case they joined he could simply avoid this male and put himself to use working his way up the ranks. He'd show that he wasn't what this man seemed to think of him. 


Then it was ordered that Onyx prove herself able to hunt. He lifted his head but instead of focusing on Xan he looked to Onyx. She had a head injury and her body was obviously sore, he didn't want her to push herself. "It's...your choice" he said, voice tight and showing he obviously believed she would hurt herself more. Perhaps he was being too protective and reading into things but he'd lost everyone and everything in his life, he didn't want to lose her too.
