Rough around the edges (joining)

Spectra had been scavenging around several territories before deciding that the cherry she picked was Stavanger Bay, if she would survive the joining ritual. There wasn't much thought nor theory behind her choice, instead it was simply was a gut feeling that lured her to this place. And if it wouldn't work out, she was happy to go on her way yet again. There was confidence within her choice but no desperation, no crawling through the mud to get in.

So when the gold-painted Alpha arrived, Spectra showed submission and respect, to the leader and the lands stretched in front of her as she adjusted her body posture even more accordingly and averted her eyes away. A part of her wanted to be like a rebel child and answer "Heard there was a party, am I invited?" Instead of being brash and bold, Spectra played her cards safe and answered the Stavanger Bay leader. "I'm looking for a home. I'm not sure why but of all the packs here, a gut feeling led me to here, to you."
