Kaertok was aware of the effect he had on others, especially young males. It was a Tartok trait, he believed, to hold an air about him where he went. Anybody who had earned the Tartok name had that same presence wherever they went. It came with the territory, the training, and the general "no bullshit" way of his family. Being born into it had likely solidified it in Kaertok. He believed that Inukun and Piguktuk had it in them as well, even if it wasn't quite showing yet. Atuaserk simply would not get there, as far as Kaertok was concerned.

Njord introduced himself, though not before straightening himself out. Kaertok did not take it as a challenge, considering the younger wolf had first followed proper protocol. There were two things about what Njord said that interested Kaertok. One was that he mentioned looking for a home for the winter and the other was that Rusalka needed hunters. With the way he phrased it, Kaertok wondered if he meant to only stay the winter. Njord also did not say that he was a hunter, even though it was implied.

You are a hunter then? Kaertok asked. And planning only on staying for the winter?

Personally, Kaertok did not mind passers-through. He had been one himself plenty of times before. It was the main reason he had joined Legion last winter. Convenience was a perfectly good reason to get involved with one pack or another, although Kaertok did want to know whether or not he needed to waste time on getting to know Njord if he was only here temporarily.
