Blacktail Deer Plateau Last Resort [IC Joining]

Peregrine stood there, slightly discomfited, as she accepted his gift and began to consume it. He wondered at his own actions when a stray thought passed through his head. Although they bore no resemblance to one another, the she-wolf suddenly reminded him of his sister. What if Osprey was alone, chasing her brothers' trail and having a tough time finding food? What if she turned to a strange pack for food? What if the wolf that received her treated her the way he'd just treated this she-wolf? The thought made his fur prickle.

Not one to apologize, Peregrine nonetheless tried to make things right by saying haltingly, "I didn't mean to come across as such a dick. I was recently attacked near these borders and, well, I'm territorial by nature to begin with." His lips pursed and he looked away a moment, then back to her face. "My pack has space, if you're looking for a place to stay. There's, uh, more meat where that came from."

Shifting and clearing his throat, he waited a beat and said, "My name's Peregrine. What's yours?" He was no good at making nice with strangers, nor engaging in small talk, but if he was going to possibly recruit her, he supposed they needed to at least get introductions out of the way.
