There Came A Knocking At My Door... [Gerhardt]

"I believe I'm not the first to come up with such a concept, but I daresay it's not widely spread either. I'd supposed it's moderately used. I grew up in a pack much like this, but it was far more rigid and self serving than I allow Seracia to be. It was a decent home, but every pack needs improvement in some way or another." He would leave out the part where he'd been scorned from his home, cast out with his wife - ex wife - and had been forced to make a life for himself, for them. He would not fail, however, to include humility in his tone. Gerhardt did not pretend to know all the answers, or the right ways of doing things, he only knew what he knew and hoped that it would work out. So far, as Seracia continued to grow and prosper, he supposed his plan was succeeding. Now that he had successfully initiated a tie between Seracia and one of the largest packs he'd ever known, he had significantly less reason to worry about the future wellbeing of his home and family. She would go on to explain what he only deemed must have been part of her past, perhaps where she had grown up? It sounded horrid, and as she worded it.. unjust and cruel. "I am sorry to hear you have come from such a hardened place. You'll find things quite different here in the Kingdom." He may not know of her past, but he could promise it would never be her future, at least not in Seracia.
She went on to ask permission to join Seracia, to hoist her banner among the others and pledge her loyalty and honor to the Kingdom. A smile would creep across the King's face. He saw no reason to deny her, she had shown consistent restraint and pleasantries. "I would be honored to have you join the Kingdom, but I don't believe I ever caught your name?" He very well would need to put a name to his subject, and determine in what regimen she would like to serve. He'd recently redistributed the ranks into a whole new system altogether, and doing so had brought forth many new ways for members to be productive. He wondered what skills she might possess.
