Ouroboros Spine take me home

With your permission, I'd like to go ahead and title Dijax up. Unless I'm totally misunderstanding this of course! :X

He was not entirely surprised that the winter did not fret him. Initially, the fledgling Alpha felt that a decline was coming up with that introduction. But ultimately it turned in another direction and one that left Mordecai nodding with a sense of understanding. For all intenstive purposes, at least Dijax was being up front about it. From where Mordecai stood, that was fair enough. A home in exchange for an extra body. The only thing that may have concerned him then was how long Dijax would choose to stick around. Losing him to another pack in the middle of winter did not appeal to the Ostrega, though he supposed there was also little he could do about it in the long run. Vengence was a bud that had yet to truly blossom in him as it had in others.

“Like I said, we could use the able bodies. Many don't know what to expect here.” But maybe in reality, he was closer to being the one who didn't know. While he had been in northern climates, the Wilds was the most north he had come in his life. Whether or not the winters were mild or harsh was truthfully beyond his range of knowledge. “All I ask is that when the time comes for you to leave us, that you seek me out. I'd done in the same when I've been in your position. Call it a courtesy.” His expression quirked at that, a notion that was not particularly something Mordecai found in others. Maybe it was simply easier to go with a blessing than without, and maybe it was simply there to establish some false sense of respect or control.
