Neverwinter Forest Look what I found

Jackalope was about as enthusiastic about pack meetings as most employees are about attending office meetings. And like any other, hoping to go unnoticed and simply tolerate the entire endeavour without having to put in an ounce of effort. Not that he'd ever truly excelled at being in a pack, but he'd been through this sort of thing enough before to know that he ought to look somewhat interested without showing too much enthusiasm.

So he allowed his eyes to glass over a bit while Mal told them about the wolves who'd moved from Moonspear to the Glen- he knew this. After all, he'd been one of the wolves to discover the new pack, and report it, though he hadn't seen fit to make a big deal out of it. His main takeaway from his experience at the Glen's new borders was that the new alpha was too young, but came into his role through some sort of designation that smacked of nepotism. But, his girlfriend was hot- and that was enough to make Jackalope want to go back for round two.

When the missing child was mentioned, he paid a bit more attention, though he lost some concentration when Mal left the floor open, prompting them with a heavy silence that they should offer their assistance in looking for the boy. One by one, they spoke up, offering to help. 'That should be enough,' Jackalope thought- after all, they couldn't all go out looking, they'd need some wolves to stay in the Forest and guard the borders, or whatever else it was that he tended to avoid doing.

But when one of the pretty twins (were they twins? He couldn't exactly tell them apart or remember which one was which) suggested they go in pairs, his ragged ears perked. He straightened his hunched posture ever so slightly and cleared his throat. Trying not to appear too keen or invested, he spoke. “I'll offer my services as an escort,” He answered, with a slight twist to his lips that made his whiskers stick out a bit. Naturally, he had no interest in going out to look for a child on his own- but if he had oneof the several pretty, available young ladies at his side...He could be convinced.
