There was quite a bit to take in, but Arian would explain it thoroughly to all of those gathered. So Sonticus, a pack where all would be equal and have a voice. The young man would listen to his mate and eventually her words would turn to him. He too was expected to pick a rank of the common section. This did not bother the young man -- he was not in it to be some fancy smanchy high ranking wolf. He was here to support his love with his heart, his mind, his body, his soul. The young man would tip his head forward, a respectful bow being played out to his lover.

"I am a Shield, of course. Your shield, and that of the pack." His gaze would shift to the woman who spoke before him, not quite liking the tone in her words. There was something about her that spoke ill... something in her tone of voice. He would defend Arian to the death if he had to, and gods be damned if anyone dared tried to take this pack from her or hurt her. He would gently nuzzle Arian's shoulder, making a silent vow to keep careful eye on all of those within Sonticus.
