Ankyra Sound The search for new purpose (Nakai's Introduction)

[size=medium]Understanding none of what was spoken, Nakai remained in a defensive though submissive position, waiting for an answer to his proposal. He knew that he was taking a risk and a big one at that. It was a gamble but one that he couldn't avoid if he was to end this existence without a purpose as a loner with no pack to call his own. His ears perked forward as he listened to the exotic language spoken around him. It was mythical and mystical to his untrained northern ears and he yearned to know the meaning of their utterances. But all the hopeful male could make out was the mood of the conversation and it was by no means as positive as he had hoped for. Sharp words that he understood none of were uttered, retorts made and a calm answer given. It sounded dangerously like the pup and the male currently keeping him in check were all but pleased at his presence. For a second, he had been convinced, that he black male was the alpha male of this pack but now, he was no longer sure that this was indeed the case. The way they all regarded the female, the one to which he had offered his proposition caused a sneaking suspicion to rise in the grey-coated male, that she held a place in rank above each of them, though which he did not know, even though he itched to learn.
He shuffled slightly, finally too uncomfortable in his hunched position, shoulders aching. Gently and slowly he rose to his full, impressive height, carefully as to not upset or surprise the male who still seemed ready to rip off his head should he prove a threat. Remaining perfectly still once he stood, he lowered his head slightly to project his submission to whatever their ruling. But he needed to know.
