Walk | Talk | Think
The rogue Ravine withheld his decision for a moment as if fully considering his options, and with his gaze fixed on the black and white-marked male Rune gave him his needed time. It was not an easy decision, joining a pack, and in no way did he want to rush it. The last thing he wanted was to bring the male in only to have him decide a week after staying that he had made the wrong decision and then leave after. Or worse: to have him say nothing and then find later that he had left without a word. Such actions had already happened more than enough times, and Rune was not ready for a repeat of those events. With patience, he let the ex-Vahallan think.
When he did finally answer, it was with a positive, affirmative statement that he would join. While it was a relief to the Guardian, it was only half of the battle. Now came the hard part: helping him find his niche in the pack where he would bring them all the most benefit. Rune nodded his head once in confirmation, his mind busy at work. "Very well. Consider yourself a Secretuan, Ravine," he stated by way of welcoming to the wolf to his pack and into their ranks. "Our pack lands lie that way," he explained, turning to gesture with a motion of his muzzle to the southeast where he knew home waited for them, "within the Fern Gulley and Algoma Prairie. I'll take you there now and show you a little of the place. And since you've been a Hunter before, I'd like to place you in that rank, but feel free to help in any way you can."
There was more he wanted to say, more that he could have gone on to explain about his small pack, but that seemed enough for now. Once Ravine settled in, there would be plenty of time later to go into all the details. Because he had said it, Rune finished his turn and started to walk in the direction he had motioned in before, leading Secretua's newest recruit back to their pack lands so that his assimilation could begin.
-Exit Rune-
OOC: Figured this might be a good stopping spot. Is Hunter fine for Ravine? I could change it to something else and say they talked it over on the walk home if it doesn't work.
