Searching for a Cause

Gwen tilted her head as she heard out the young male, with interest and, she admitted, some confusion. Who were these Abraxas that he said he'd spoken to both Regulus and Aurielle about? After he had finished speaking and waited for her reply, she gave the whole situation a great deal of thought, both in the request itself and the way she should word her answer. "I am very intrigued by the idea of forward scouts living further from the border to give us warning," she said slowly. "I worry that living outside of the protection of the border will put you and your family at great risk, but it is a risk you are already taking by being loners now. You know that living where you do, it would mean that if you and your family are in danger, it may be that we would arrive too late to protect you from a threat?" She studied him somberly over the wall, the idea putting a worried crease in her brow.
"That said," she continued slowly, "It would be your risk to take, your burden to bear, and if it is one that you and your mate are both willing to shoulder, I would not stop you. It happens we are in need of a hunter, so you would be a great addition to Celestial even aside from that." She paused to think again, toes tapping against the stone of the wall. "I think that I would be willing to accept you, pending any concerns Aurielle might have concerning the situation. Without knowing if she would approve I can't in good conscience ask you to test to be a hunter, but I am willing to accept you as a member and plead your case if need be. Would you be willing to allow me to speak with your mate and see if I can convince her to join as well? It would be the ideal situation, to have you all eventually join the safety of the pack."
With the more immediate matter somewhat decided, she turned to what was bothering her about what he'd said. "I would like to ask you one thing, though... What can you tell me about the Abraxas, Brandr?" The way he had said the words made them seem of a great deal of importance, and it made her uneasy that the pack hadn't been informed of what Regulus and Aurielle knew. Was it that they didn't trust the pack with the information?
