warm blood, cold hearts

"Is that so? Congratulations are in order then." He nodded his head in thanks, his own smile growing as did hers. He was proud. He had every right to be. Though he didn't get the chance to actually fight for the pack given that his opponent hadn't shown up, he was still proud of the fact of how far he'd come and how well the first meeting went. Though the pack was newly established, Winterfell had secured enough members that would help it thrive. "Thank you," He responded to her comment on Winterfell's name. It was a strong name. Carefully chosen and dedicated to the one wolf in his life who had helped become who he was today. He sent a quick and silent prayer to his dearly departed before he returned his attention to the alabaster woman, ears piquing with interest.

So she was seeking out the pack eh? That was good to hear. She continued, and even introduced herself as Heloise. "It seems fate has been kind in many forms as of late. My name is Acere, it's nice to meet you," As for joining? Well...he had plenty of room and would not turn someone away without good reason. "If it's residence in my pack you seek, then it's my duty to offer you a home. While we're still new and working out the positions, you're welcome to join us." Sure he didn't know her considering they just met, but there was plenty of time for that. For now, the least he could offer her was a home. And after he learned more about her, a true position along with everyone else.
