This Time For Sure! [Regulus]

He had to force himself to bite back a chuckle at the growing excitement his explanations sparked in the fellow. Clearly, young Dómari liked what he was hearing and the boy confirmed it at Regulus’ prompting query. He listened as Dómari spoke, smiling. A possible Paladin or Cleric in the making. Finally, he answered the queries thrown at him. Good questions, too.

“We number at around nineteen, by now. I’ll have to take a full head count once we track down those who’re missing. We have room for anyone willing to work hard and learn. Now, we’re going through changes in the ranks; I decided we could use more paths where those who specialize in more than one skill can still do both, and not have to choose between healing or fighting, or hunting.

“For instance, we’ve added a few ranks that encompass wolves who both fight and heal. Paladins would be the wolves who lean most toward fighting, but still wish to become healers and rise through the ranks in both skills. Clerics would be the opposite. We also have the generic Healer’s rank for those who only wish to heal.”

He paused here, to allow the wolf to absorb the information, grinning as he added, “I’d imagine you might be interested in either of those three? What else would you like to know?” He was happy to sit here a while, explaining the ranks, customs, and laws of the pack. He’d invested his life into this pack, almost from birth, and he enjoyed teaching others about it.
