Sweet Home Glaciem [Joining Thread]

As the snow started to fall, it swirled around the dark form that was Eria. Her claws had lightly flexed in the snow, leaving tiny marks to signify their use. She had been getting more nervous about being by herself and waiting for someone..anyone..when she wasn't really sure if Crusade was coming. The old anxious feeling began to bubble in her chest and she was tempted to give a howl to be noticed...that is, until she saw a tall figure approaching from the other side of the border.
Eria's eyes had widened as Gargoyle got closer with each step. She took in all the details she could of the tall wolf as he advanced towards her. The first thing she thought of was the air he had when carrying himself. Her tail, which was in the snow with her rump, swayed side to side, making the usual round of confetti fly up and around her. By the time Gargoyle had approached her, she was caked in the white fluff and resembled a realistic snow sculpture. (She didn't pay this any mind.)
At first, she didn't know what to say when Gargoyle spoke. The anxious feeling still hovered, but as his words sunk in, that feeling was replaced with her excitement. She rose from her haunches, shook off the extra snow (which, thankfully, didn't touch Gargoyle and swirled away in the opposite direction), and dipped her maw to the leader. She knew he was the one in charge - the 'him' with a capital 'H' - and she didn't want to start off on the wrong paw at their first chance to meet. Eria pushed herself up with her front paws and said, "I would be honored to have your company, sir." Her light ocean blue eyes shimmered with warmth, but she kept a poise she hoped would impress. Eria's tail flicked behind her and she looked at the invisible barrier that seperated her from the packlands. Glancing at Gargoyle, she then looked back to the ground inhaled slowly.
The young wolf took the required steps to cross the boundary line and her chest, which had been tight, released the tension. Once her whole body was across that line, a smile broke across her face. Her long tail wagged at the end as she looked at Gargoyle and said, "That felt good. It felt..right." She wondered if every new member felt that way in the beginning. "As for questions..." she trailed off and thought before saying, "I suppose I already have one, but I hope you don't get offended." Clearing her throat, she took in his height before asking, "Are the other members of your - of my - family as tall as you?"
