The male was satisfactorily firm in his commitment, his answer showing maturity and speaking of unwavering loyalty. She nodded to him, but already her mind was jumping ahead, making plans and marking thoughts for further consideration. She had wolves joining too old to be ranked as apprentices, but with unknown skill levels. Perhaps she should test them somehow? Individually as they join before they were ranked, or later as a group in fight training? A weak fighter ranked as a full warrior would be a liability in battle. A poor hunter would not bring in food to support the pack. An untrained healer would cause more harm than good. It was certainly something to consider. But for now... Galahad. "Then I will be pleased to accept you into Ebony's ranks as thegn. Take some time to find a den, to familiarize yourself with the lands and the borders, then we will put you on patrols. If you have any questions do not hesitate to find me. Welcome to Ebony, Galahad." She gave him a curt nod, then set out back to her patrol.
