“You will address me politely and respectfully.”
Oh. Shit. He screwed up, didn't he? Eli's face scrunched, disgruntled by the exchange as the silver male smirked at him. What a jerk. He knew he could get away with it, too, as he was a higher rank than him. The agouti male puffed the right side of his cheek, becoming tense. He ducked his head, offering an apologetic smile, lips parting about to correct himself when the lad reached forward, booping his nose to Eli's forehead with a laugh and uttering a “just kidding”.
“I think you're trying to give me a heart attack and it's not nice,” he whined with a heavy pout on his lips. It, however, quickly turned into a cheeky smile – glad that Shadow was just joking with him and he hadn't been serious about this whole “you must kiss the ground I walk on or I will tear you a new one”. Shadow took a seat next to him, Eli brought it upon himself to inch closer, nudging his shoulder with his pack mate's and wagging his tail.
“Hmm,” he paused. Eli had thought seriously about what sort of trade he'd be going for, so he wasn't quite sure why he subconsciously paused. “I want to become a Caretaker and Outrider... maybe a Warden or Warrior too, but my main focus for now is the first two. I'm pretty good with taking care of pups and entertaining others... and exploring is my hobby.”
“In my old pack I would tell my Ma that I was heading out and explore for days at a time. Sometimes ended up meeting folk while I was out that needed a home.” Thus, Eli met many that became friends. He validated that they'd make a good pack member and invited them to come home with him. Of course, his Alpha had to approve of them joining and he was very good about going to her first.
