The shifting of the air could not be missed. Wintersbane seemed as though he did not like the query regarding leadership. It had been the one piece of information that had stalled the scout, as well. Issorartuyok found such matters trivial. It was worth asking. He was forthright with his interest in the role and with his intentions behind it – the northerner wished to make a family for himself.

Hmm, the great burly wolf mused with a rumble. I will accept a place within your ranks if you should allow me to prove my worth and seek a family when the time comes. These terms were all that he wished for in the moment.

In order to justify his worth, Issorartuyok swelled in his chest and offered a respectful nod of his broad skull. I am a fierce warrior. The snow is my home, my peace. My intentions are to make a family. If I cannot attain this in your glacier, I will serve until I am ready and then leave.

Issorartuyok made a pointed glance toward Meerkat. He had promised the scout that he would behave himself and he did not intend to break his word.
