I think one more post from each of us will be good. I'd like to try to get this thread to 10 posts before I archive it so it can count towards EXP. :-)

The scarred Scandinavian nodded his head towards the boy, a gesture of acknowledgment when Ryder swore in his fealty and alliance to Ragnar and to the pack. "Good. It is expected that everyone do their part in the pack, even the children train in their desired apprenticeships," Ragnar told him giving pause for a moment before adding, "We have no use for dead weight and I will have no hesitation in getting rid of it." It was the only warning Ryder was going to get. Not that Ragnar pinned him as dead weight or anything, rather, this was similar to what he said to every wolf who sought to join his Viking pack. Ragnar did not think it was unfair that he gave his all for the Bay and simply asked his subordinates to reciprocate. "I am the Head Warden and though we do not have official warriors yet several of us are seasoned fighters. I have lived and breathed raids and battles my entire life." And as Ragnar was currently trying to teach Junior: warriors and wardens were an extension of the same arm, and a pack needed defense just as much as it needed offense.

"Your tracking skills could be useful either to the Outrider trade or the Gameskeeper. Whichever you decide to go with is your own choice. If it’s hunting you’re interested in I advise you to seek Julooke. If it is Outriding, Verrine or I could teach you. Bragi, too. Bragi is young, about your age but he is a skilled Berserker …fighter and explorer." Ragnar couldn’t give the boy anything until he proved he deserved it but he did not doubt that what he said was true. He knew the training regime of Odinn’s Cove well, but he also knew Bragi’s mother.

"Come, I will give you a tour and answer any questions you might have." He gestured towards the forest with his muzzle.
