The man had a fair, steady air about him, one that put Adrastus at ease. He didn't feel himself being studied or judged, so he started to let go of the fear that perhaps this man had come to challenge him and upset the peace that had settled into the Spine.

He spoke his name and what Adrastus assumed was a pack, but the word he used for what he was left to assume was the name of his rank wasn't familiar to him. For all he knew, it could have meant that he was the omega. Some clarification would have been nice, he thought. Not that he would have treated Aiolos any worse had he in fact been an omega, but it felt odd that Aiolos should know of the weight Adrastus' rank carried without Adrastus being able to know the same about him.

An oversight, perhaps- and not a terribly important one. That is, of course, until he informed Adrastus that he was the one Kukutux hoped might be chosen for her, to sire her pups.

His first reaction was relief. He'd feared that in being unwilling to allow Raimo to ve the father, that she might go without children. He was somewhat prepared to offer himself, but he and Lótë had already made their intentions known to one another so it was only time, he figured, before the two started planning their relationship as well...And siring two litters of pups was not exactly something that fit in Adrastus' plans.
Not when one litter would belong to his future mate, and would possibly be treated differently because of this.

The man who came speaking for Kukutux had nothing about him that was unsettling. He was speaking on Kukutux's behalf, which he didn't disagree with. He knew she wanted him to choose a suitor, and was quite pleased that she was also helping by making her preferences known. But- just because Kukutux wanted him, didn't mean that Adrastus would say 'yes' right away.

Come. Let's go for a walk so that I might know you better. I welcome you, to Moonspear, He said, with a beckoning gesture of his muzzle. He carried in his chest a hope that Aiolos might meet his expectations, but he needed to be sure that he would make a fit sire, and possibly also a father if it meant he would stay with them to help out with raising the children. Kukutux's judgement had not pleased Adrastus once before- in having chosen to bed Raimo- but he was willing to see just who her new choice was.
