She crouched there eyes downcast, trying to feel small, invisible. But the touch and voice of Squall had her eyes lifting up. She stared at him with wide pale green orbs, searching. Was he telling the truth? Could she truly trust him? Her mind raced with question but her gut told her she could. With a sigh she scouted closer and sat up, leaning on his shoulder for comfort and confidence. Something about him made her want to try, make him proud. She felt safe, a feeling sort of like she had towards her brother. She could not help but keep casting glances at the older male. Her eyes held a respect for him, a hoping that he could help her fill the missing gap in her life, to be a mentor, a brother of sorts.
Loccian voice rang out with introduction to pups and changes to the pack with ranks. She never really knew how the ranks were set before so her brows would furrow down as she tried to concentrate and understand everything. At one point her head would tilt to the right. But she was just getting the idea of it when Squall spoke up. She turned to look at him, body stiffening as he requested he mentor him. Ears twitched as she looked up at Loccian and then Squall with a happy smile, tail slowly wagging. She couldn't have asked for someone better. Sure she didn't really know anyone else, but Squall made her feel safe. And she believed they had some undiscovered similarities. But just as quickly as her happy moment came it went with discontent from others. She listened to everyone carefully.
Taking a deep breath she stood up and took a hard swallow."If I may..perhaps a contest of sorts..for those who wish to prove their worth for a higher rank would ease everyone's mind. Just a friendly contest for members to best each others in certain sets of skills? Like hunting, sparring? Tracking? Those sorts." She said softly. She looked down at her paws again, shyly.
