Northstar Vale The path you've laid out

Sorin masked the confusion at the words the stranger spoke. It was a language he had never heard before, but the shadow assumed it was some sort of greeting. It certainly didn't seem hostile.

He wasn't able to mask the surprise as the man mentioned that he was Liri's teacher. One of his brows rose in silent inquiry. What was the man teaching her, when had this education started exactly? The one question Soin was worried to ask was what effect would this new man have on the pack that was only just forming? Did he seek out Liri in an attempt to gain favor and smooth the path towards becoming leader, or was his interest genuine? Would he be a leader worthy of following, or would he turn into a tyrant?

While he did his best to give nothing away, Sorin knew his expression conveyed some of his thoughts. He quickly recomposed himself though, regaining his calculating stoicness as Liri introduced the man as Vanguard. It seemed a strong name, one fit for a leader, and Sorin had little doubt that was what this man intended. The wisdom, the experience contained within his bi-colored orbs showed Sorin that Vanguard was a man who was sure of himself. The shadow guessed that such wisdom would seek out a pack to lead.

"Welcome Vanguard," Sorin said with his trademark neutrality. He wasn't sure about this man just yet, but he would trust Liri's judgement, and give the newcomer a chance. "We're glad to have you here."
