Wear me like a locket

Karabela steadied her gait. Oh winter was going to be fun when the mountains were covered with snow and ice. Though on the bright side she'd found a lovely slope on the east side of the mountains toward the base that was smooth with the perfect slope for sledding! She couldn't wait to tell the rest of the pack. After the first good snow she was going to see how many of her packmates had enough sense of humor to go sliding down a hill on their backsides. She was glad that Dominik was doing well, she'd been wondering what he'd been getting up to since their last meeting. "I'm doing pretty well! Things are a bit crazy right now with getting ready for winter but it seems like the pieces are finally starting to fall into place." And not a moment to soon in her opinion. While the fall was still unusually warm they'd had a few cold periods and a bout of freezing rain here and there that made her wary. An unexpected snow storm could be trouble.

Karabela's grin grew wider as Dominik stated that he'd like to join her pack. "Really? Sure, I'd love to have you. When we last met you struck me as a good and honest man and there are to few of those in the world. Do you have a particular set of skills?" Ok, not the most Chieftan of answers. Really, she supposed she should be asking him what he could do for her pack and then testing him but Ivory Ridge was small enough that she hadn't felt the need yet to test everyone that wanted to join and Dominik had one thing going for him. They'd met before. If it was a random stranger showing up that would be another matter but she'd spent a lovely afternoon with him and new he had a good heart. Character was of more importance to her than skill at the moment for skills could be learned and it would take courage and strength of character to weather a winter in Fenrir's Maw.
