So this is it

Xephyris chuckled to himself. She was annoyed by his arrogant presence, and he wouldn't have it any other way. It kept others from trying to get too close - distance was something he preferred. Still, he also knew his existence had made an impact on someone else, validating that he was not a ghost of this world. He had to let himself be known somehow, and it would certainly not be through social graces or good deeds that he would be recognized. Still, he would show some subservience and lower his head at last when she spoke of boldness in general terms, knowing in a way she was saying it could be his downfall if he wasn't careful. He knew this all too well in the place he'd been raised, but he also knew being a little brash could lead to great rewards as well.

Seating himself, he looked up at her as she introduced herself as Arian the President, Mrs. Adravendi. She offered also an introduction of the pack and it's values, and informed that he would be a citizen until he had proven his worth in any tasks. He shuddered at the thought of being named a citizen - it certainly sounded like a low rank, but he knew he didn't deserve anything else as of yet. Ranks were not handed out freely, they had to be earned properly, a concept he understood. He nodded to her. "Understood," he stated simply, "Arian Adravendi... I appreciate your acceptance, Miss President. I am Xephyris. I assure you I won't disappoint..." Then he grinned, adding with a wink, "But I can't promise I won't drive you crazy."
