"Just Roman is fine." Hearing this sentence would make Valice smile ear to ear, her tail wagging slightly behind the young dame. "Understood," Valice would say, awaiting more words to pierce the sensitive drums that would remain patient ad attentive.

"You said you've seen this epidemic before?" Hearing these words escape from the jaws of her new ruler, Valice would widen her eyes and pupils would decrease in size. She had tried to hard to forget what had happened. She had abandoned her family, but of course it was her father's instructions. Taking in a hallowed breath, Valice would begin to explain. "Well, my family was taken by the disease. We were hunting as usual, with my brother and I chasing the flank of one of the deer, my father and mother waiting at certain points to join in to bring it down. By the time we got to my father, he never leaped out of the brush where he was supposed to and we let it go in worry that something had happened. During that time, I had no clue of the disease. When my brother and I returned, my mother and father were both huddled in the den. He was with a fever and could barely stand. It hit him hard. My mother had no idea that the illness was that contagious and as she tried to heal him, she also contacted the illness." Tears were already beginning to spill down the she wolf's cheeks, no matter the attempt to stay calm. "We tried everything we could, but my brother and I never knew much about herbs. He took off to inquire with other nearby wolves and I was to gather food for my parents to eat and recover. Once my brother arrived, he too had contacted the disease from other wolves, however his never appeared until much later when my parents were far too weak to fight it anymore. My brother...his symptoms developed slowly. Really slowly. It was then that I was told to leave and never come back, because they all knew their fate. The disease was too new and foreign to their bodies and the knowledge of nearby healers." Shaking her head side to side, Valice would begin to regain her bearings, awaiting more speech to be heard of from her new ruler.

"I'm in no position to turn away a good hunter, Valice. If you're words are true- I cannot think of a reason to turn you away."
Nodding with calming breaths, Valice would begin to speak, her strong and endured shoulders shuffling slightly before the dame would open her maw to speak in return. "I hope you consider me so, and I thank you for accepting me into your pack, Roman. It has only been my dream since that day," Valice would finish her sentence before turning her head back to the path that the young dame had followed. Cold winter air would blow through the dame's mane as emerald eyes would look up to her Queen with shining hope and determination.

"Welcome to Tortuga. You will be placed as an Ancillary, for the time being- once you've proven yourself loyal to Tortuga- you'll be promoted to the core rank of the pack."

"Understood, Roman," Valice would say, her head dipping in appreciation. Soon, Valice would hear a bit of a laughter escape the maw of the alphess, making her chuckle along with her. "Oh, and you don't have to bow."
