Blacktail Deer Plateau In these trees there's no escaping truth

Rue smiled; she would also look forward to traveling with Liri once again. Each time the pair made a journey together they returned closer than they departed, and Rue enjoyed the opportunity for quality time with the busy alpha. 

Rue listened to Liri's connection to the Elysium wolves with interest. Lily hadn't mentioned all of that. It seemed to Rue like the former Bracken Sanctuary pack were true friends of Blacktail Deer Plateau, connected by bonds that ran deeper than what made up a simple political alliance. Rue agreed with Liri, "It does sound like there's great potential there."

Rue tilted her head as Liri spoke of callings, as if they were somehow tied to the heart's desires of the wolf being called. Perhaps for others it worked this way, but not for Rue. Her "callings" came from the outside, not the inside, and represented the pack's greatest needs. Whatever the pack needed from her, that was her calling. She thought better of explaining this line of thinking to Liri though, and so she simply smiled and answered, "I'll certainly give it my best."

It seemed that their conversation was drawing to a close, but Rue would wait for the alpha to dismiss her in case there was anything else they needed to discuss. Her mind whirled with brand new thoughts and feelings that this conversation had already instilled, and although she had a million questions about being Beta she also knew that she probably had enough to ponder for today. 

This can be Rue's last post unless they have more to discuss. Just wanted to say, thank you for the PM opportunity! I'm just as surprised/touched/honored as Rue is! <33
