Katja considered his words carefully. It did not seem a dangerous reasoning, but a risky one. "Ebony do not be a temporary home," she spoke warningly. "Loyalty to the pack be the highest value we hold dearly. Once joined one would not be permitted to simply leave. If you be still interested you may be considered for thegn, our rank of warriors and hunters, or eir, that of healers. Which would you be preferring?" She would find some way to test his skill in the future but for now it would do. She planned to keep more close watch over the new pack than Raisa did anyway, a closer hand on the reins. There would not be wolves in the pack that she did not know or ever see outside of official meetings. "What be your name?" Usually the first question in a social situation where niceties mattered but Katja had no desire to know unless it actually mattered. With his interest in the pack, now his name mattered.
