Duskfire Glacier footprints in the snow

Ok, so he wasn't in it to ruffle her feathers, but he hadn't answered her question, and Cyclone was not the patient type. Her own stance relaxed a smidge, but her eyes remained hard and cold, resting on his figure. He appeared to be able-bodied, and considering he had not waltzed onto the glacier like an idiot, she figured he wasn't completely stupid. Considering those were the two main requirements for staying, she thought he was a decent candidate. But alas, he would have to have some desire (however faint) to join them if she expected to recruit him.

Well? she asked, one eyebrow lifting higher than the other expectantly. You staying or going? If he was staying, she would call for Takiyok, but if he was going, she would gladly chase him away from the pack's claim.
