To tell the truth, Rin had known about this pack for a few days already. She had lingered outside of the border, drinking from rivulets and sleeping in a shallow dugout. Though every now and then, she'd gaze into the tall trees in the distance, nose flaring slightly as she tested the air for the umpteenth time. She was beset with curiosity, but not quite curious enough to venture any closer. Not yet.

It had been weeks since her last interaction with any wolf. She had been hunting a rabbit, focused on nothing but her paws straining forward, the white blur darting ahead. They'd practically blundered into each other, unsurprisingly. Regaining her senses, she saw that it was a loner like herself, skittish and half-starved, its fur stringy and matted. The wolf crouched and snarled--more out of fear than menace, really, but Rin had flattened her ears and slipped away. She wasn't looking for trouble.

She was pacing now, tail twitching nervously, and throwing quick glances at the border. Abruptly, she paused, sighing. "Calm down," she muttered. This was what she wanted, right? To join a pack, make friends and settle down, and move on from her disastrous life. None of that would happen if she kept standing still. Besides, it wasn't anything to ask to join, and if they didn't want her, she would keep moving. It's simple enough... Ears twitching, the she-wolf padded forward, crossing into the shelter of the trees. She lifted her muzzle and howled, alerting whomever was in charge of her presence. As the last few notes echoed off the treetops, her dark eyes swept across the trees, ears cocked, waiting for the first sign.

Azarias was simple walking along his borders until a wolf's howl pierced the empty sky. His receptors perked as he stopped, eyes scanning the area as he pin pointed to where the howl came from. The Alpha lifted his cranium towards the sky and let out an am sweating howl of his own, letting the wolf know he heard and was on his way. The howl was short yet it was deep and loud. Then he was off. A quick paced jog as he headed in the direction of the howl. As he neared he slowed down into a walk until an earthy colored wolf came into view. She seemed to be watching across the border as she waited for someone to show. She was rather small, but than again everybody was small to Azarias. He walked forward into view, watching the female with his strange bi colored eyes. "Is there a reason you called, miss?" Azarias huffed out. He stopped walking towards the stranger, his massive body structure toward over the other. Although his tone was soft and welcoming his eyes were cold and professional. He stood there waiting for the fae's reply.

When he stood he continued to study the other across from him. She easily blended in with the changing leaves and the rough bark of the trees. Brownish gold eyes adorned the fea as well as different hues and shades of cream, brown, and grey fur. Although she was small she still had a bit of muscle, yet she didn't look like she was a fighter. Finally over will his exam of the wolf Azarias spoke, "I'm known as Alpha Azarias of the Skotádi pack. Who are you and why have you called for the authorities?" Azarias named himself as he continued to stare the fea directly in the eye. He was testing on how dominant she was and or if she was easily submissive. He had an idea as to why to requested his presence, however he was certain.

Rin's ears pricked at the quick response, and was a little surprised by the nearness of it. The wolf must have been near the borders by chance. Soon she heard pawsteps, and moments later a wolf emerged from the trees, pausing a few steps before her. Instinctively, she stiffened, ears pressing against her skull--the brute was daunting. He was huge and well-muscled, easily half a foot taller than she. His fur was black as pitch, with gray flecks weaved into his pelt, stark against the warm autumn leaves. It looked like he would have no trouble thrashing her, a fact she nearly winced at. Good grief.

Still, the kinder tone of his inquiry was an unexpected, though welcome, contrast. Besides, if he'd wanted to fight or chase her off, he would have done so instead of standing around and asking questions. She felt her limbs loosening again.

As he sized her up, the male introduced himself as Alpha Azarias. His eyes met hers and normally, Rin would have dropped her eyes immediately, but the she-wolf couldn't help but stare. If his bigness hadn't caught her attention, his strange eyes certainly had: one blue, one green, playing the line between unsettling and just plain odd. But her gaze only lingered for a few seconds before lowering respectfully, ears pulled back. She dipped her head, as custom. "My name is Marina, but I answer to Rin. I'm a loner, and I've come to these lands looking for a pack to join. But you probably knew that already..." she trailed, snorting faintly. Hopefully she was doing it right; she'd never formally joined a pack herself. Her thoughts drifted, and her nose twitched slightly as she caught the different scents the male carried with him. There were others, obviously; it was a small pack. She kept note of these little facts and glanced upward for a moment, gauging his response.

"Thought"
"Speech"
"Text or other’s speech"

The fae was on a run, dashing around alone, testing her abilities. She did that a lot, she always tested herself, pushed to the limits, never once did she slack on anything nor stop until she needed to. As she continued to bolt through the woodland a longing sort of howl echoed through the trees, catching her attention. It was a call for someone of authority to come and address; that meant Lupa. Then a familiar howl replied to this stranger's call, one she knew well, the one of her mate. He was nearby and could probably smell her, Lupa didn't want to disturb her training but a new lupine arrival meant that the pack would grow, and if the pack grew they got closer to there inevitable destiny; reliving what was once supposed to be here. Before the chaos of Azarias' father.

The femme herself pulled back her crown and let out a howl, the deep chorus that escaped her maw lasted only a few seconds as she began to approach the location of the original howl. Her large frame ploughed through the undergrowth easily, the journey was nothing more than a normal patrol except she knew what she would find. She emerged from the thicket and saw two wolves, one was her mate, Azarias, and the other was a wolf she did not know. This wolf was staring at her mate, right into his eyes. Lupa nearly growled, Azarias was her mate, but she may not have been doing the obvious, the alphess didn't want to over think things, it'd just make them more complicated.
"My name is Marina, but I answer to Rin. I'm a loner, and I've come to these lands looking for a pack to join. But you probably knew that already..." The femme that stood before her said. Lupa was no longer worried for her lover's safety, she now only wanted to welcome this wolf into the pack, new members were a must.

"You are in luck, Rin. I am Lupa, the alphess of Skotádi and Azarias' mate. We are searching for members, you would be welcome." Lupa replied with a weak smile. She didn't really care, she wasn't exactly there to do that but since she didn't want to spend too much time away from her exercise nor did she want Azarias to ask the dreaded question of "where were you".

The inky black lupe watched the wolf with multitudes of brown, cream, and grey assess him. She looked surprised by his size and even more so when her golden optics landed on his hetero colored eyes. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Rin." He managed to say before paw steps notified him that someone was close. He didn't panic for the scent of his mate greeted him. He didn't turn to her instead he gave a flick of his ear to show his acknowledgment of her presence. Azarias listened to what his mate said before adding, "if your interested in joining what rank would you want?" The brute grunted out.

The day was exceptionally cold and when the wind ruffled his fur he could feel the bite of its coldness. Fall was coming to an end as the last leaves on the trees let go. The sky was cloudy and looked ready to sprinkle it's frozen white flakes on Azarias's heaven. Although winter was beautiful one would get sick of the cold and it's eternal stillness. With everything asleep it was peaceful, but the ruckus of spring and summer was a time animals and plants were full of life. A new beginning after winter.

Rin smelled the wolf before she saw her, what with the wind blowing all about. She swung her head towards the trees to see a black she-wolf step forward. She was somewhat leaner than the male, but taller than herself and just as fierce-looking. Maybe it was because of her own small stature that these wolves seemed especially large...

She ducked her muzzle when the fae, called Lupa, revealed herself to be the Alphaess. Then, the male asked what rank she might want. Straight to the point, huh? she mused, ears twitching with surprise. She thought most Alphas tested their new arrivals first--not to say she wouldn't be tested later on-- but to be asked point-blank what she wanted was a first. "Healer, definitely," she answered, smiling faintly. "I'm very well-versed in medicine and herbs and things of that sort. Been a healer all my life, with or without the title." Colds and cuts, beestings and backaches--you name it, she could treat it, and she was proud of it, too. It was a shame her apprenticeship got cut short, though. Rin had been well on her way to becoming a Shaman; she just needed more experience.

"And naturally, I can hunt and patrol as needed," she added, not wanting them to think healing was the only thing she was good at. With winter nipping at their heels, they'd definitely need a few competent hunters around.

Since I don't have the time to reply to this thread, Rin has been accepted as Shaman.
