But you'll never know it

He listened as Osprey explained. So he was hoping to join, but had happened across Osprey initially. Or perhaps the Gamma had recruited him. He was young, that much was clear, but so had been Valtyr. Youth in no way meant that a wolf would not aid the pack somehow, even if it was in helping them to become more patient in training and helping them to grow their skills. Good practice for when Lasher's own came of age.

Osprey vouched for him though, which meant he was probably a good kid. Still, Dante felt the need to address him first, officially, before giving an answer. "Artax, then. Will you respect our members as family, learn from them and give them your loyalty?" It wasn't too long a list, what he expected, but all were important. It was likely he would not get along perfectly with all his packmates, but he wanted his word that he would give it a good solid try.

It'd be nice to be able to give Valtyr a friend nearer his own age too.
