to call my own

Phim stood too quickly when she saw the female approach, nearly falling forward on her face from the momentum. She righted herself and dipped her head, her tail low behind her. When she pulled upright again, the little gold trinket was back in her grasp. Slowly, Phim approached the female and set the object before her. Phim had only experienced joining a pack once before, when she was just barely old enough to be out of the den, and her memory was hazy. What was she supposed to do? She and Dai had never planned to join another pack and she had no idea what proper etiquette was. She figured being a polite guest was the safest way to go.

"My name is Phim," she started with a smile. "I heard your call yesterday. I've been alone in Boreas for a while and I was hoping to find a home to join. Could you tell me about your pack and if you're welcoming new members?" Her smile was small and hesitant. She was nervous, but she couldn't let that feeling take over now. Phim had to stay confident. "It's a pleasure to meet you by the way, Peregrine."
