strange places

"Your pack recruiting?" she asked, and he paused for a moment of thought before answering. As far as he knew, there were a few open slots in their ranks -- never mind the fact that Somnia had vacated one of those positions. He quickly reassured himself that she would be back. She had to come back...right? But aside from the empty space she had left in the hierarchy, he imagined that there would be space for this she-wolf, at least temporarily. He sympathized with her motive -- he, too, had wound up in Redhawk Caldera, intending it only to be a brief stay while he looked for his sister. And here he was, four months later: a leader, a godparent, and a friend-boy.

"Actually, I think we do have room for another wolf or two," he said, intending to test her mettle later on -- he would need to find out what her skills and abilities were, and whether or not she would be a good fit. For now, he didn't see the harm in at least telling her about the pack. "It's called Redhawk Caldera, and it's not far from here. I'm Elwood, by the way," he added. Then, with a twitch of his ear, he prompted, "Tell me about your sister. Maybe I can help you."

Oh, he had no idea how much he would be able to help her...but he would find out soon enough.
