to rest my weary head

The stranger introduced himself as a former member of Abaven, then indicated that he really was interested in joining. "We welcome you gladly, and would be happy to have you join us." Knowing that he was a former Abaven wolf, and knowing as she did the high regard that Ardyn had held the former pack in, she felt it was safe to assume that he'd be a worthwhile addition to the small, new pack even if Avalon didn't already disregard the past of those who joined, giving any sanctuary. "Avalon is rather more a village than a pack," she began her explanation. "We work together to provide a safe, secure, and peaceful place for everyone. There is a focus on livestock and farming, but we welcome wolves of all walks of life here. We choose to remain neutral politically though we have guardians to protect our members and our stock from predators." She paused, waiting to see if he had any questions.
