The man would speak again, and Legolas would listen. Keen to hear their values. Respect. Capability. Contribution. He agreed, very much so. The man continued, These are the three values that Tortugan wolves are expected to live by. Tortuga is a pack for individuals who want to be valued. The individual should be able bodied and thoughtful should contribute to Tortugan life in all aspects according their capabilities and skills. You are welcome to stay; with your strength I do not doubt you will climb the ranks easily. Should you find Tortuga is not the pack life you seek, you are also free to leave at anytime. He would nod, and then the man added, almost as a side thought, There is one impression I do wish all members to have. There is a cat who lives among the redwoods who is to be left alone. You will, in time, find where our scent fades in the forest and her realm is to be untouched. Should you disturb the cat; your punishment will be under her discretion if you are caught. I will not be able to help you. so there was clearly a cat, a dangerous one, in the forest. He didn't mind giving her her space. And he did want to climb the ranks, he wasn't going to sit around. He wasn't that sort of person. There was a purpose to packs, survival and order. And he would fulfil that purpose. They are fine values if I ever heard any Master Deteste, I agree with them. And I shall do my best to climb the ranks a smile would appear, his eyes danced.
The man smiled and sat down, Legolas followed, sitting down, facing him. What is your name, young man? He hadn't even introduced himself, which was rude. Ah, I apologize for not introducing myself, you speak to Legolas Greenleaf, prince of Mirkwood, a dead realm. I think I shall stay with your pack master Deteste, I am willing to start off with whatever rank you should give me. Eyes would seek the ebony man's reaction. He would probably be accepted, as the man had seemed quite willing to talk about his pack before.
