Blacktail Deer Plateau assistance so gentle

Krarius greeted him with nips to his chin before answering Kavik's question. He was glad the earthen male seemed to be settling in okay. He knew joining a new pack could be a lot, but it seemed he wasn't having any problems, so far. At least none that he had allowed for the alpha to know. Good to hear, he replied. When he next inquired to how the alpha was doing, he shrugged a bit and responded, Oh, I'm pretty good. Just keeping busy. It was mostly the truth; it was definitely more truthful than other times he had answered that question lately. He certainly felt guilty keeping things from the other members, especially his mate, but he didn't want them to think he wouldn't be able to keep them safe. Leaders were supposed to be strong no matter what, and so that's what he was doing. 

His eyes found the other's blue gaze. What brought you to be out here all on your own? he asked curiously, wanting to get to know his new packmate better.
