He had to say, he was rather impressed with the young man's answer. Unable to hide it any longer, a grin cracked his rough exterior as he beamed at him. He still didn't know his name, but was obviously working hard to try and impress him. Letting out a smooth chuckle, his body relaxed as he took a seat in front of him. "Well, that's a good start. You are welcome inside to find my daughter, but I'm not the worst wolf you will run into inside," he said with another laugh, looking over his shoulder to peer into the plains. Finch would be here at any moment, he needed to hurry this up. Turning back to the male, his tail sashayed behind him. "It's her brother that you have to impress, he's not as soft as I am," his thoughts crossed to Lark and how protective he was of Finch, even more so since she was found very ill. He was a good son, but far more stoic and harder to impress than Bass himself. Plus, he wanted grandkids before he died and this was the first time that anyone came calling for his children. "Don't be so nervous, son. He will eat you alive." Bass tossed him a toothy grin, standing once more to turn around and head back to his den. Would he dare enter and risk running into Lark? Or had the alpha scared away his first chance at being a grandfather? He knew that Finch had picked well, if they did indeed end up together. A well bred man who was just a little thrown off by his sudden appearance, but he would be on his own when it came to Finch's many siblings. Looking over his shoulder, he winked one of his yellow eyes before trotting off, catching the woman's scent on the wind. Perking up, he broke into a lope and cut towards his den, hoping to avoid direct contact with the pale wolf.
