Ouroboros Spine New beginnings

Heyo! Rachel ® here over in Central timezone. Welcome!

The rabbit blinked doe-eyes of peridot, carefully committing the foreign sound of his name lest she butcher it whenever the time came to attempt saying it. "I welcome you, Valerius, " she lilted, the words slow and formal as was the norm for the introverted wolfess. "I do not hold the power to permit or deny your presence here," came her next murmur, apologetic and diffident as her head dipped in a slight nod. "The moon and star would have to offer you sanctuary and I do not speak for Moonglow's leaders." She was sure they had heard from the ulaq, but Kukutux was likely still too injured to make the walk to the borders. If @Sialuk did not appear from the conifers' depths, if mayhaps she was gone hunting, then the botanist would call for @Raimo -- who was one of the few she had met so far and seemed to be a leader of sorts here, at least the leader of the tribe's hunters. If the moon and star could not be present then perhaps the spear was available to speak with this possible recruit.

"What do you offer in return?" The yearling asked as she waited, thinking perhaps it might be prudent to garner information for those higher in the ranks than she, to pass along when one of them arrived. She did not think it an odd question nor a rude one; she assumed the man to be familiar with the custom of trading and bartering.
