Peregrine
The large wolf returned to his pack, smelling strongly of the Parnassian Meadows. Peregrine began to roll on the ground and rub against the plants and trees, ridding himself of the scent even though he liked it. He needed to smell like the Avalanche Grove; and after several minutes, he accquired that. Now a bit dirty but pleased, Peregrine laid down in a patch of sunlight and dozed off. He would wait before speaking with the alphas about an alliance to his son's pack.
Dark Star
He padded up from the bear where he had spoken to the ravens and a fox about matters to where Peregrine lay. He smiled, he could smell the other pack as well as his and he figured the meeting had gone well. "How is your son?" He asked, not worrying about the allaince at the moment, no matter how pressing that news would be. "Everything went well?"
Peregrine
Peregrine stood quickly, greeting his alpha with a nod of his head, "Good Morning, Dark Star. Everything went better than expected." Peregrine relayed, "I didn't get to meet all of the pack yet, but there are many of them. My son is doing very well." The thought of his 'son' reminded him of his other son's death, but he shoved that from his thoughts for now. It was a long time ago. "When ever you want, he says you may meet with him. Or he will come here." The wolf said, commenting on what Tornado had told him.
Dark Star
He nodded, brow furrowed in thought. "Yes....perhaps we could meet a a no wolf zone nearby? I must be close enough to return a call from Kana. Must be careful...." He did not yet look up, extremely concerned now. Allies would be good, but he was uncertain if he should leave the packlands.
Peregrine
"I understand." Peregrine responded thoughtfully, "I know he wouldn't mind coming down here with his pack. But; I think the meeting should wait a day or two. Before I left, Tornado was going to check out a new pack member. Perhaps it's best to let them settle before calling them over?" He waited to see his alpha's decision on the matter.
Dark Star
Dark Star nodded and relpied. "Indefinately,2 days is a much better time span. I must dispose of the carcass, get the pack under some sort of order, and discuss some other matters with them, and ecspecially with you, Peregrine." His eyes had that serious look, but pride and power lifted them into a pleasing, bright mode. His tone was deep, and influential. He spoke: "You, Peregrine, are a wonderful leader. I, in my time knowing you, have come to learn that. The way you handle things is astounding. That is why, I feel you can take the responsiblilty." He paused, took a breath, and continued. "To get the matter on with, I feel you deserve some sort of recognition. Peregrine, I want you to be the Beta male, if Kana agrees, and I want Tri-Tundra and Jais to be the runners up. If I and Kana are ever away, you take control as the temporary alpha, and Tri-Tundra and Jais, if they wish, take beta." He smiled, and spoke with a slightly different tone. "I have known you for a bit now, but I grew up with Tri-Tundra. I feel that she deserves the beta position as well, but she also deserves love." He paused once more, a soft expression now on his face, explaining. "I don't want her so into the duties of the job that she cant have her own life, and, trust me, I know she would dive to deep. I feel you can have total control, and much more if you want, without being overwhelmed. If you would like the postition, I shall consult with Kana and you most likely can have it. If you decline, however, the postition will probably go to Tri-Tundra and if it comes to be so, to Jais as well." He looked away and sat down. He then turned back. "Don't deside now. That is an order from me. Take a day, figure it out, and come back to me. But please, do not tell the others." He stood up and finished " I would like to have a wolf like you at my side, but I want him to be a happy. So please, choose carefully." With that he waited. He didn't want to purposely overwhelmed him
Peregrine
He listened solemnly, silently eager and anxious about what his alpha spoke of. Most of his life he had been a leader and was missing it dreadfully. To be a beta would be, to him, an important job in the pack. To help maintain dissipline, authority, and such for Dark Star and Kana. He allowed a smile to crease his muzzle, "It's an honore to hear you say this, Dark Star. I will certainly have an answer for you after you've talked with Kana."
Dark Star
"Very well, Peregrine, very well." He too, smiled, and spoke as he got up to leave. He spoke quietly, as if it was some tip or hint on the matter. "I not only value your opinion, but please do let me value your leadership qualities too. That is all. Enjoy the weather." He then nodded and padded away with a quick wink.
