Wishful Sinking

Despite his ominous height and rough look, there was clearly an exhaustion about him. His voice sounded tired as he spoke in reply to her. He got right to business, giving his name and the names of his niece and nephew. She would give them all a polite nod in greeting. She had already expected what he would say next, why else would he drag these tired children to her border? He wished to join Abaven. She looked over the pups, one bright red and the other tinged with purple. They both looked a little confused, and clung to each other as through afraid to let go. Shaye gave a mental sigh, letting none of this emotion through. She already knew she would allow them enter, how could she not? To do otherwise would go against her nature.

Perhaps she could get Rhyme to meet Acere, until they knew him a little better and knew if they could trust him. “A stable place for pups is exactly the kind of atmosphere Abaven prides itself on. Of course we would have you. We have warrior ranks open, through I would have you meet my second, he is in charge of the warriors and I would have him rank you.” she would explain. Also a subtle, and good reason for them to meet early on.

She frowned as he asked about a trial, and offered up himself in the place of the young pups. His protective instincts over them definitely endeared him to her. Wherever he had come from, it was obvious that he cared for these two. “there is no trial. If you come with me, i’ll show you a place you can bed down for the night and get the young ones and yourself some food. You can stay in this den as long as you like, or dig out one that suits you better.” she would explain, stepping to the side as she indicated for them to enter the territory. “Ignis and Actaea you both look like your nearing an age when you would be apprenticed. I will give you all some time to settle in of course, but if you let me know what you both desire for your future, I can speak to some wolves and see about finding you some mentors.” she would offer.
