The first to approach introduced herself as "Dawn", a pretty name. She was kind & welcoming, which eased his nerves. But then a pale man came close behind, & he made a flashy display of dominance. Possessive, he noted, but he didn't take it personally. It was the courtship season, & if they were both leaders, he could put two & two together that they were mates. He found it inappropriate nonetheless but wouldn't comment on it.

My name is Connor; I was wondering if you had room for one more in your ranks. His heart fluttered again, though he didn't let it show.
