It was early when Bane awoke in his den by the Rio Grande, and with a nuzzle to the three other occupants sharing his den he padded out into to view the mist covered river. It was yesterday that he had thought to move. Move so his young could be safe, so Tahlia would be better fed than by a old wolf and three yearlings. So that the crashing bushes of other wolves moving through the river scrub brush would stop the constant feeling of anxiety for his family's safety. Wolves were coming. Soon. He'd seen them across the river. It was no longer safe to be here all exposed along the riverbank.
The last of his traps were brushed over with dirt. Des had helped him survive by digging these. Now he was helping his family survive by covering them up, masking the scent of blood and viscera so as to not attract others. With a swish of a tail he returned down the den and nosed Tahlia away. They'd get their eldest young on the way out. Bane picked of Kailos, the pup whining and voicing his displeasure. The newborns eyes were open now, both Lior and Kailos now tumbling about the den during the day as they played. Needless to say they were coming out into the world early. A new home, a new place for his mate to nurture their newborns. A pack.
To the east then. Anais, Nako, and Jakart were roused from their slumber and told to follow. If his pups complained Bane didn't hear as he guided them east, to focused on searching for a pack and carrying Kailos. It was at the edge of a lake they stopped after the day of travel, and a border scent was close by. A pack. A new home and a safe place for a family. Kailos was placed next to Tahlia, not having been fed all day, such was Bane's drive. The pup had bled for the first time in its life, a rather long time being carried at such a young age. Whines left Kailos's scrunched up muzzle as he then became distracted by nursing. Bane regretted the pace he pushed his family but he it had been a necessity if they wanted to make it before dark. A howl was given and a door would hopefully be opened for the family to live here. Bane didn't know anything about these wolves, but then again, he didn't want to. Only his family's safety mattered right now, and if they were denied membership Bane at least hoped they could rest here for the night.

He would spot the family from afar, and he would decide to start walking towards the borders, assuming that they would all trail upon it somewhere along the line. As they arrived, vaughan was soon to follow. He would smile in greeting, liking the change of seeing a whole family then a single rouge. He would remain cautious, though he presumed that the two adults wouldnt use violance near there children. " I presume you'd like to join? Im Vaughan the high lord of Ebony." His gaze would shift to each and every one of them before continuing, there where 7. " We will accept all who are willing to put in the effort to help the pack grow, we currently have around 16-20 members. All who remain active and alert will be rewarded" He would wonder if it was difficult to raise a family with little to no help. " What are their names?"

The elder's determined gaze softened as he watched Tahlia give Kailos a lick, spending a moment watching their two newest pups feed their troubles and aches away from a journey they were far too young for. Bane sharply exhaled the caught breath in his lungs. Moutains. He'd forgotten what it was like to be in the shadows of a range of them. The wind in the trees and the stale air of altitude. A leopardess he'd met long ago would feel right at home around here.
His remaining eye glanced around, finding a black wolf rapidly approaching them. The wolf was missing the fur on the side of his face, and Bane couldn't help but reflect to a time in his younger years when he used to look somewhat like that. The strangers scent, Vaughan was his name, reeked of wolves. The pack of Ebony. Nako?came up to his fathers side, fully grown and just as weary as Bane was about this stranger in front of them. "A rather blunt and assuming fellow aren't you sir?"
Bane nudged the yearling on the side of the maw who glared back at him as if to ask 'what, its true and you know it'. The elder wolf tilted his head slightly and gave his son a stern gaze. His attention returned to the pack wolf. "My name is Bane, and while I can only offer knowledge of years past and forgotten to Ebony, my offspring and mate have learned a variety of skills as we survive our constant displacement." Bane sat himself down next to Tahlia and gave her a assured nuzzle. "As for the two little ones they are Kailos and Lior. And it is my hope they fit in well here once grown." He'd let Tahlia say a few words about this, ask questions to calm her fears and worries if she had any. The pale wolf gave his mate a nuzzle between the ears and hoped this blunt wolf would let them call this unknown pack their home.

He would listen carefully, before looking towards the man with the comment he had made. " i just like to get straight to the point, sir. Afterall what's the point in chatting if you have no desire to join?" and with that a smirk would tug at his lips. His crown would raise, his triangular ears perking towards the names. 5 children. Thats a lot to deal with. " Then you all shall be welcomed here, For now your children will be ranked under commoner[ Lior, Nako, Anais, Jakart, kailos] And the pair of you shall go as hunters and work your way up. Unless you'd like to request something different?" Vaughan had no objection if one of them wanted to change their role, but it doesnt necisseraly mean they'll get it. After a few moment, the ebony lord would step aside so that they can go explore the new lands that they can call home.
OOC: Feel free to join in on the Tourney!

Tahlia had named their offspring in turn before naming herself, Bane using the moment to then look around them. His mate spoke of her skills in acquiring both the fish of the water and creatures of the land. He didn't doubt her, that much was obvious, but the pack wolf Vaughan may need convincing. Not in her current state, no, this would have to be an investment of time if he took in seven wolves of various ages and seeing what their strengths were in good time.
There was a silence, Jakart adjusting the carving antler he held in his maw that he'd brought all the way from Seracia. It touched Bane that his son had missed him so, and the Talutah mark upon Anais's shoulder did him proud. A swish of his tail was given at Vaughan's words. Ranks were given out and the elders one good eye glanced about in search of a den location. Too many trees, they'd have to walk around some more to find a place. The eldest pups would have to dig their own den, close to their sire and dame. He wouldn't loose them again.
Bane gave a grateful nod at Vaughan and touched the tip of his nose against the ground in a bow. "Thank you Vaughan. Though the world remained hard on our family for quite some time, it is my hope that, although there might be some issues with old customs and beliefs that we will discuss the problems before actions are taken should the new arise. We have ears on our head. I can only hope they are open and understanding should something come up."
The black wolf stepped to side and Bane dipped his head at the high lord and turned to Tahlia, they were in Ebony now. Kailos finishing up with his feeding and curled up in an attempt at sleep. The elder reached down and clean of his sons muzzle before wrapping his jaws around the pup's scruff again. The little pup gave a wiggle and went limp, a minuscule wail of protest voicing from his muzzle. "Almost there little one. We've almost made it." Bane looked back at Tahlia, relief in his eye. A den would be searched for in Ebony by the lake on a forested hillside overlooking their new home. A fresh start for them all.
