my best self

Armando's relieved reaction to being accepted into the pack made it abundantly clear he had been worried about the encounter, and thinking about it from his perspective he had a lot of reason to be concerned. Eligos would have been more wary if a small prey animal hadn't been a little concerned to be approaching a full grown wolf in its prime on its own territory. He tilted his head slightly as the newest and oddest member of Aerie spoke about his dietary needs. Bamboo, he remembered that from when he was a youngster growing up in Auster. It grew like a weed down there, and there was even a huge maze of the stuff. He wasn't anywhere near an expert in plants - didn't, in fact, care about them much at all - but he thought it might be possible to get it to grow well in the wetter area around the lake since it was similar to the jungle like regions he had grown up in. "I will talk with the healers and see what needs to be done to grow some here," he promised. "Packs take care of their own, no matter what shape they come in." Ah... a red panda? That was interesting. He had heard pandas before but he had had the impression that they were just large, black and white, lazy bears that ate... bamboo, so at least that part was accurate? But he just nodded to Armando's explanation, filing it away for later. "Let's get you introduced to the rest of the pack before you look for a place of your own here. I would like to avoid any... misunderstandings with the Aerie wolves." A misunderstanding that could result with their newest little spy residing in a packmate's belly, which would be far from ideal.
