Stone Circle on a dare,

At Bonario's arrival Ujurak offered the ghostly ranger a friendly wave of his tail. His head tipped towards the Bearclaws. A flick of his tail invited the wayward hunter to stand close if he so desired. His appearance alone solidified the show of matching the Bearclaws number.

The stone prince's eyes returned to their neighbors. Committing faces to memory and slowly absorbing their scents. He waits patiently as the Bearclaws made their proposal. An ache in his jaw formed as his teeth ground together, biting back the ugly feeling from earlier as it resurfaced. First the offer from the River wolves when they departed from the valley, now their new neighbors extended an invitation as a place to live.Ujurak did not like the feeling that surfaced. It crept through him like how bile rose in one's throat and tasted just as bad.

They had the meadow too? Did they not live in the mountains just south? If the land was so good why the broad reach? Sounds like they didn't choose their home well. Did they perceive Kvarsheim as unfit to exist on its own? Did they think themselves better?

As his own thoughts swirled, his eyes passed over the younger girl among them. The snap of her head and the broad frown that stretched across of her face indicated a dissenting opinion to that of her elders. Perhaps it was his own youth that lifted his brow sympathetically and pulled gently at his lips.

There was a still a bitter taste in his mouth but he harshly reprimanded himself. These folk were still people. They were their neighbors. It was better to be on good terms.

My packmates are welcome to remain here or leave on their own terms. I can make your offer known to them, but I will not make the choice on their behalf. Ujurak kept his tone level, slowly drawing both his confidence and compassion into play. Allowing the smile on his face to broaden and greet the Bearclaws warmly. Properly. But, yes. It is good to foster a relationship, isn't it?

We would love to keep things amiable. Perhaps in time we can arrange an event between our packs, a hunt perhaps?
