Shyness taking over (joining?)

"And why is it you chose my pack over the others?" This was a standard question the King asked. He wanted to know why his pack was chosen, and to know how much the wolf knew about his home and their rules. If he knew nothing, he might not even want to join after he learned. "It's nice to meet you, Coulter. I am Gerhardt, King of Seracia." He didn't always introduce himself this way, but it needed to be known that he was King of this land, and would protect it with his very last breath. The man went on to describe his talents in vague detail, but Gerhardt was not much concerned with them at this time.
