hush now, dear children

Kove listened as the female spoke, taking in each word that left her maw. The part of a 'slavemaster' caught his attention, but he couldn't say he was all too shocked. He'd seen slaves get taken from enemies, though most ended up dead if they proved to be of no use, or provided no true leverage. The little female before him had survived as one, though, and while her personality wasn't all too appealing, that showed strength to him. In the man's mind, he believed her to be a decent fit for Blackfeather, but he wasn't entirely sure if she'd be up for joining. Trespassing constantly could lead to her getting into some serious trouble—both with the wolves of his pack and those belonging to another—and she didn't look to be a killer or any sort. Looks could always be deceiving, though, leaving the male never to be too keen on relying on one's look. The part of the 'awesomest pack', as she had put it, was something to be concerned of, though. He didn't know the female at all or what she thought to be 'awesome'. All he knew was she was a trespasser, who had entered without any real goal to join.

"Don't apologize," Kove finally said, having gone over his own thoughts several times. "I haven't seen any other packs in action around these parts before, but this one certainly seems to be the greatest in my eyes." It was his turn to give some small spiel over the pack, but it wasn't something he'd ever said before. The ghostly man was unfamiliar with the task of recruitment, but it couldn't be helped. A part of him wanted to share the ways of the pack with the littler loner, but another part knew the fit would be tight. "Decided now if I'm going to have to chase you out, or call another member forward." What would need to be done, he was not yet sure, but saw no real rush. He had time, and was positive the loner had nowhere to be at the moment either. Not a good act of behavior for the Warden-to-be, but he couldn't help himself. Females always brought out a soft side in him, and the fact that the intruder was still so young only made him less eager to attack.
