Do Not Bend, Do Not Yeild {Joining}

A very familiar sound rent the air, a call that dragged Hati from slumber faster than any of his packmate's calls ever could. Family. But more than that, it was Akemi's call at the border, a call seeking admittance. The black-coated wolf was out of his den in a heartbeat, heavy paws carrying him at a swift lope in her direction. Last he'd spoken to her, she'd been safely ensconced in a pack far from him. He'd gotten the impression she intended to leave that pack to come with him, but he'd tried to discourage it. Thought he had, after so much time had passed. But here she was, calling, and Hati could not bring himself to send her away.

He slowed to a walk as he came closer to her, until finally she was in sight just over the border. He stopped short, still on the Arcanum side of the border, and flicked his ears in a surprisingly playful manner. "I think I know you from somewhere..." he rumbled, his rough voice holding a slyly joking tone that would have done Loki proud - or astonished him anyway. He was in a rare mood, dark dreams locked safely away for now though the itching in his head told him it was only a matter of time before he exploded once more under the pressure of it. "This just a friendly visit or did you come to join up?"
