King Elk Forest se-n-pa-i

The boy listened as the woman explained during spring they would ask those not of their name to take it. His brow furrowed at this idea. He did not believe that Kiyoshi Deorwine had the same power in it as Kiyoshi Draconid. The stalwart young boy was intent on remarking about it but was stopped by Celnes next statement - that they wouldn't actually be required to take it. This caused a visible confusion, knitting the child's brow and turning his dark lips into a thoughtful frown that appeared far too serious for his young face. 

Like a promise? Kiyoshi finally asked of her, fixing the burgundy of his gaze on her features. I will still be Draconid, but Draconid for Deorwine? he then offered in hopes to clarify how he'd understood her message. If this was the case, he would not be disappointed. If the elken wolves wished for him to adopt their moniker, he did not know if he could remain in their ranks when the spring arrived. For that moment, his future hung on whatever the lady of the land would respond with.
