Issorartuyok paid close attention to the movements that she showed, and he mirrored them as well as he could, for a large wolf who had never used such movements to speak. The northerner wished for Meerkat to know that he took her offer seriously. The romantic implications were somewhat lost on him, but that did not matter in the moment. He was touched by her candid nature, pleased to have found a friend in the village he had pledged himself to, and he found the scout to be a charming individual.

I think you should speak for us both. You have a better way with words, Issorartuyok said, a smile forming on the edge of his lips. The northerner would happily follow her to speak with Wintersbane, would nod his head cheerily at the news that they would travel together across the mountains and into the unknown. It was the happiest he had felt since he’d left his home.
