Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
Hati had paced the border of the misty forest territory since he had spoken the hasty words that got him unexpectedly accepted into this pack, though he'd had little time to actually explore it. Resting now beneath the shelter of a fallen tree, the distant sound of the alpha's call reached him. He listened a moment, then squirmed his way out of his shelter. What an interesting invitation this alpha made to her pack. A tournament to impress her for rank?
Hati's paws moved almost without his consent, carrying him toward the call. Did he want rank? No, he wanted nothing to do with that tangled mess. But tournament style sparring, that sounded like his sort of thing. Sounded like home.
And like a racing pigeon, Hati was drawn to it, heavy steps bringing him through the forest from his den to where his packmates had gathered. A few sparred already, Cataleya there amongst it all watching smugly as they battled at her whim. It didn't bother him to see; she had the right to it, as they wouldn't be fighting if she hadn't done something to earn their cooperation. Surprisingly many of the wolves there were really young, barely older than pups. Whatever though, it wasn't like he and his brothers hadn't been leading raids since they were a year old too. A little weird to see a pack here doing it though.
He stood back on the outskirts, just watching, until he saw of all people his half-sister Nott. A sharp, barking laugh issued from his harsh throat as she stated her intention of becoming a Marquis. What the fuck was a Marquis? Whatever it was, he had no intention of letting Nott get it while he sat around and played loyal soldier. Whether or not the opposition female could manage to knock her from the running was unimportant. Damned if he was going to depend on that.
Pelt bristling, he stalked up toward Cataleya. "Yeah, I'm gonna go for Marquis too. Rather not be killed because some ranking guy didn't know what the hell they were doing."
"Speech"

Hati wears a bear skull on his head unless otherwise stated in the post. He also has a ram's skull that might be switched in sometimes if he finds it again.
