What should I do?

Chade hadn’t lost his childish nature right away.  At first, when it was just him and Ricin he had still wanted to play at times but little bit by bit that had faded.  The world was too dangerous and Ricin too important to play around.  The only exception was if Ricin was determined to play but the joy it caused just never stirred as strong.  

They needed to be allowed to stay in this band, it was the best chance they had at surviving and learning how to survive on their own better.  Chade needed to get stronger with regular food and deeper sleep, he needed training.  They would be more likely to keep him and Ricin if they were useful.  It would also be good to get to know more wolves for connections.  Despite his wariness of strangers, there was a need to know them and so he would.

Walking along with band territory he came upon Alastor.  Chade was already a good size and likely would grow a bit more yet Alastor was larger still.  Chade stepped up nearer Alastor but still with a hesitant distance in case the wolf didn’t want to give him any attention, perhaps it had other matters of priority.

“Hello sir,” Chade spoke up, aiming to be as respectful as possible, “I’m Chade.  I was wondering what I should do to help.  I’m an ok hunter, um, still learning how to fight.”  Chade stood there somewhat stiff, hoping the guy didn’t mind Chade approaching him.
