The not-so emotions of a not-so fox

Pravin gave a short nod, accepting the terms and conditions of his stay. He looked at Inferno, "I am going to assume that you are Inferno, as you have not been properly introduced. And I do understand your terms, and respect your decision." He ended his sentence looking back at Blitz. He was at least glad they would give him a chance, and hoped he would have the chance to prove himself. There wasn't much he could do about their choice, other than accept it. It was a respectful choice, sounding like something his birth pack may have done; other than the fact that his birth pack would have harmed the loner beforehand.

Inferno nodded as he watched Pravin, agreeing with Blitz's decision. It was a suitable decision, not unlike the one that had been made to allow Coven to join the pack. Hopefully they would find out soon if Pravin could be trusted or if he was harboring ill-intent under that guise.

Realizing that they hadn't been introduced, Inferno gave Pravin a short nod in response to his question, confirming that he was indeed Inferno. Turning to Blitz, the beta said, "I'm heading down south to check the borders. If you're heading back to camp, you might as well take him with you. If not, would you like him to come along with me?" Inferno would be fine with taking Pravin first, but he did feel it was better if the new wolf headed off with Blitz, wherever the alpha was headed. Blitz had a talent of judging character more objectively than Inferno.

Blitz relaxed when Pravin accepted the terms. Good, things would be much simpler now. When Inferno spoke of his intentions, he rose to his feet, looking over at Pravin. "I'll take him to the dens. We'll see what the pack thinks of him, although I'm hoping that Coven has gotten Molly away from the dens for a while." He said, looking over at Inferno, but keeping a watch on Pravin from the corner of his eye. He remained still, waiting for Inferno's reaction, before glancing back at Pravin silently.

(sorry it's short)

"Alright, I'll see you at the dens later," Inferno responded to Blitz before giving Pravin a last long look, almost warningly, before he set off into the trees to finish the patrol. He didn't bother repeating to himself 'it'll turn out fine' like others did when they were worried. If he was worried, he was going to worry and be suspicious until there was mounting evidence that he shouldn't be. Even Coven was still on his radar. And Chaos had been a member of the pack even longer than he, but he would never trust her. There was the hope that Pravin would turn out alright, but Inferno was willing to wait a long while before giving away his trust.

(short as well, and I jumped my turn, but Inferno's leaving anyway. :))

Pravin let the pair converse, learning that he would be taken to the dens with Blitz, off to meet the others, apparently. Inferno left, leaving a warning in the air. Pravin noted to be wary and careful around Inferno, and possibly Blitz. But if it meant he could stay, Pravin would do what he could. He nodded, showing that he knew who he was going with, and where. He took a careful step forward, looking at Blitz, waiting for their own departure.

Blitz nodded at Inferno's departure, and then turned back toward Pravin for a moment before leading the way to the dens. He walked silently all the way there, glancing back at Pravin every once in a while, keeping a close ey on him as they moved. Soon they would be at the dens, and the rest of the pack would be meeting the newest entry into Silverlight. Blitz was curious about how they would react, also about how Pravin would react. Soon he would find out, and he glanced back again as the dens came into view, his large white form leading the new male right into the center of the den circle.

Pravin followed behind Blitz, leaving a few feet between them. Blitz did not speak, and Pravin decided not to as well. He walked through the wood with the alpha and eventually the trees became slightly farther apart and Pravin saw various dens come into view. If he wasn't mistaken, these were the dens, and Blitz was leading him right to the center. Pravin braced himself, ready to meet a large amount of wolves, a number he probably wouldn't be comfortable in. He wasn't sure of the size of this pack, but he hoped they would accept him, although he wasn't a pack member.

Blitz finally came to a stop in the center of the dens, near the meeting rock, and sat down, waiting for the rest of the pack to emerge. His tail curled around his paws as he looked over at Pravin, motioning for him to at least sit down and relax a bit, his eyes a bit softer than when he had first allowed the male into the packlands. "Relax, Pravin." He said softly, glancing at the male before at the dens that surrounded them.

A new scent had entered the pack lands, and the dens more specifically. Chaos lifted her head, growling softly in response. It was a male, and one that was not a pack member. She rose stiffly to her feet, exiting her den and growling in greeting to the male, her ears pinned back and her tail arched over her back as her posture remained dominant, no matter how much larger the male was than herself. "Who the hell are you?" She snarled, barring her teeth and glancing over at Blitz who sat nearby silently. It was obvious that the alpha was going to do nothing and see how this newcomer reacted. Good, Chaos didn't like interference.

Even as Chaos emerged and snarled, Tessa moved cautiously out of Blitz's den. She was feeling much better than she had the night before, and she walked over to the small group curiously, her posture low and submissive, with a strong hint of nervousness and fear in her eyes as she watched the three wolves. She wasn't sure what to do, especially since she was still a loner like this new male, but he intimidated her, Chaos terrified her, and the silent alpha made her nervous. She kept her distance, standing in a submissive and fearful half-crouch several feet away from the three wolves.

Pravin heeded Blitz's command and sat, trying to relax, but tensed as another dark wolf 'greeted' him in the same sort of way Inferno had. Another small wolf had emerged from the alpha's den and Laek herself peeked out of the healer's den. But she didn't emerge, not currently bent on leaving Sib alone. Instead she turned an ear to the outside, semi-interested in what was going on. Was there another new wolf?

Pravin leaned slightly forward, in the direction of the darker female, "Pravin. And it could interest me to know to who you are." He spoke strongly, eyes narrowed and suspicious. Would they all greet him like that? If they did, he was ready to stand his ground, and he knew that Blitz wouldn't interfere. He was technically on his own at the moment, and the little black wolf somewhat intimidated him. Her posture was set on dominance, and Pravin could not decide if he wanted to submit or see where this could go.
