That's Me, Eating A Sandwich Alone In the Bushes

Álarr's ears flicked forward as Pestilence stated that she wanted to be a strong warrior and she'd been training hard for a rank. He was surprised to hear she was still an apprentice. "That's weird. I don't think that will be the case in Fireside. If you've trained hard to be a warrior and you have the skill I think you'd make a Guard or Raider at least." She asked about his own rank. "I worked hard for it, I trained and studied and my work was evident in our stores for winter. I think in some ways its a bit easier when you have something tangible that shows your skill." Fighting was harder, you had to be there to see a warrior's progress or fight them yourself.

He smiled, trying to reassure her. "My brother's the alpha and he's a yearling so don't worry about your age. As long as you have the skills that's all that matters. Anyway, I probably should get back soon. I can't wait to see you! If another season goes by we might just have to raid for you." He winked playfully.
