Rising Sun Valley Sunday Morning

As she listed off each individual, Anselm was mindful enough to piece together bits of important information for later: Kove, boyfriend, likely Alpha; Adlartok, young male; Outcry, Rhythm, females but otherwise opposites; Carter, warrior-type. He would no doubt be meeting these wolves in the near future, and thus it became imperative that he remember these key facts. Out of all the things Scarlett could have told him about these beings, she chose those words - that was important. As the boy began to wonder about what his future pack mates looked like (as a warrior would be strong in build, while the meek Rhythm was likely petite) Anselm realized just what he was concentrating on. Meeting them. Getting to know them. Clearly some piece of the boy had decided on the next course of action, and he was rather surprised by this.

The most important fact that Scarlett shared came next - as she mentioned a bear, Anselm's ears flicked back against his head in a brief show of apprehension; his eyes narrowed sharply with the knowledge. "Do you think it wise to allow a bear to live with you? Even if it promises peace, it is hardly a beast worth trusting. Especially if you plan on having children in the future, as is the purpose of the pack." He was genuinely curious, and wished to asked these questions as plainly, as monotone, as he could. There was no avoiding the slight surprise in his tone, though. "Bears are especially dangerous when they have their own young. You are sure that your wolves are safe?"
