Shadewood Happy to be Home

The pair of contrasting wolves before him brought a smile to begin on his face. It wasn’t a fully one, but the edges of his lips turned skyward for a moment. A direct gaze to Atticus as the dual toned male threw his ambition at Cry’s feet, an offer that forced The Phantom to regard him in a more respectable light. This man wanted to go places, to do things. To be something. “Absolutely. And if that is what you will choose to pursue, we have a few members you may Apprentice under. Morgan being one of them.” A grin came to punctuate the ordeal. Morgan has in fact informed him of the spar between he and ‘That weird bird wolf’, saying the male had not only moxie, but the drive to keep it going! That was a true start to a worthy warrior. 

His heart fell a bit as he turned to Chai, but he let none of it show on his face, nor his voice. Her opportunity to grow within the pack were limitless- and he would not stop her from finding herself. That was what Family was for. “That is the entire meaning of the Shadewood Keep. Family, and Purpose.” His chin tilted up. “We will give you the opportunity, Chai. In fact, I will set up a few things for you just in good faith.”

He would talk to Minori and Gwen and see who would like to tutor the girl, to give her a light taste of what it was to have a duty here. But it would come at later time today. “Until then, come in. Make yourselves comfortable, and Welcome to Shadewood Keep.” He stepped forward and rubbed his whiskered snout  over the pair’s shoulders, placing his claim on them. Then he retreated back a bit to give them room.
