Bearclaw Valley Goldilocks

the bearclaw children were here, shown to the pack as a whole. he eyed each with careful attention, nodding in acknowledgement when each name was spoken.

but that was not all ameline had called them here for. 

to pledge. to decide their fate. or what they wanted that fate to be, anyway. 

shifting ever so slightly, he fixed his gaze upon the bearclaw woman. he knew his answer, just as he'd given it the day upon first meeting her. 

I am here to serve as guardian, as promised. but if your grace be willing, to rise to a place in leadership will be sought. she knew this. but he said it again, this time hopefully with less arrogance as the first.
