Swiftcurrent Creek Old Man [IC Joining]

sorry for the delay ): won't happen again!

One large ear tilted toward the newcomer to come greet the stranger before silver eyes glanced over to him. The black wolf asked much the same question as he and the older man forced himself up off the ground... sounding rather pitiful doing so, but Leon's face remained stoic once he go the answer that he was okay except for being old as hell.
He listened curiously to his answer and tilted his head, keeping his calm, sharp gaze upon the elderly fellow as he stated why he was here. Looks like he was done being a loner and knew to find a pack... though he had age on those bones and he wouldn't be much use in physical labor, Leon knew it would be beneficial to the pack to have someone with those particular talents. An herbalist was very useful.
He did seem rather pathetic, saying he'd just stay out of the way otherwise. Now surely there would be no need for that! Ear tipped again at the alpha's arrival and he turned his head to give her a nod of greeting and a small wag of his curly tail. Not sick, just world-weary.
Leon felt as though it'd be rude to answer for the old guy, but as he'd just said what he had to offer before Bazi came, he'd pipe up and the stranger could elaborate further if he wishes-- could help his case if the alpha wasn't keen on having him otherwise... but he didn't think her the cruel kind.
"Says he's a naturalist. S'ppose that means yer good with plants n' such?" Herbs, poisons... could be very useful.
