OOC; Sorry for the wait!
--------------------------------
Strong brown eyes were staring into the sky. The body that belonged to the eyes was a bright chestnut. The smile on the male's face was enormous. He truly believed the sky was his mother, only staying up and clear to see him. He was nearly 40 moons, 39 to be exact. He slowly pulled his eyes for the sky, but lifted it again. This time it was to howl for Keverne. 'Keverne, meet me here?' He lowered his eyes and waited paitently. His thin tail was whipping the ground. He was to anxious to stay still. She didn't know how he felt yet, and she wouldn't for a while. Keverne.. He muttered and laid down on the coldness of the ground. "This weather is awful!" He whispered. His fur was long though, so it wasn't to bad on him. If [/font]

Keverne's ears swiveled, attempting to pinpoint Rakashan's howl. She paced in the direction she assumed he could be found in, and wagged her tail.
She had found him.
"Greetings, Rakashan," she said, dipping her head in acknowledgement. Not respect--respect for a wolf of lower rank? Only if they proved themselves...and she thought he might. Her pelt, multiple shades of brown, rippled in the bit of light that hit it. "The weather could be...a bit better, hmm?" she mused, shivering in the cold. The cold moons were not her favorite--give her a time of heat, when she could swim and run on the sand...

Rakashan smiled broadly, rising up. "Delighted to see you again, Keverne." He said, his voice strong. He dipped his head, lower than she. His smile faded casually. "Sure could, m'am." He winked and laughed. "How are you doing in this cold weather?" He inquired. Probably not the right thing to ask the Center Wolf, but he want to know. "Anything I can do? He tilted his head slightly, refusing to sit until she did. He smiled again. He kept his tail low, his head also but he kept a stiff eye contact. [/font]

She sighed and lowered her haunches to the ground, into a comfortable seating position. "I'm doing fine, Rakashan," she answered, shifting her weight to try and find the right balance. "Even if the wind stills any heat, it fails to still me. Only thing left to do is wait." She snorted lightly, almost indignant, as though the cold weather hardly deserved respect of any kind.
"There's nothing you can do, right now, Rakashan, though I give you my thanks for your offer." She dipped her head, eyes shuttering closed for the barest moment.
Was that a sign of respect? she scolded herself. Get used to your position. You need not show any.
Of course I should. This wolf is kind. And besides, maybe he didn't notice the blink.
Sure. Whatever you want to convince yourself.
Go away. I don't need voices in my head right now!
Keverne gave herself an internal shake, then raised her gaze to be level with that of Rakashan, waiting.

Rakashan smiled softly. "That is great." He said. He chuckled. "I do see what you mean!" He said, rather loudly. He blushed slightly, and sat down. "My only wish is to serve you, Keverne." He said. Lie. 'My only wish is to love you.' He wished to say. He blinked quickly. Had he seen her dip her head and close her eyes? Was it an accident, or on purpose? He blushed. "It's fine." He murmured.

"Th-thank you," Keverne replied. She felt a twinge, something she didn't recognize. "Rakashan," she began, uncertain of how it would sound, "would you like to be...the Inner wolf?"
Inner Wolf is a hard position. They reinforce the Center wolf's rules and such, acting like a beta wolf to the alpha with the different terminology. But still, Keverne felt like asking a different question. Maybe, "Will you be Center wolf with me?" but she could never work up the nerve.
Did you just ask this wolf to be your Inner wolf? Keverne groaned to herself. Why must there always be a warring faction of her?
Of course I did. He seems...trustworthy.
Seems?
He is trustworthy, then.
How do you know?
Well...I can guess, can't I?
Keverne let her thoughts race. All that was left was, of course, the answer.
But, some part of her persisted, which question do you want it to be for?

For a moment, his voice was caught in his throat. He coughed nervously. "I.. would love to." He said softly. His hapiness came afterward. Without thinking, he Blushing, he quieted. "Oh, I apologize." He whispered. He lowered his head, and frowned. 'She doesn't think the way I do.' He thought silently. He lifted his head and smiled. "Inner Wolf." He murmured.

Keverne glowed. The Isthmus has an Inner wolf now, she thought happily.
"This is wonderful!" she exclaimed, then caught herself. "We--the Isthmus needed an Inner wolf. My thanks to you, Rakashan."
You almost lost your calm, she thought. What would he have thought?
I don't know.
You don't know, or you don't care?
Keverne felt a sigh bubble in her throat, but pushed it away. Her tail whisked softly over the sand before she stood, a bit uneasily, and turned. "I'll have to...announce your new rank," she explained, knowing it sounded odd already. There were no other wolves to explain to. Unless you counted...
Kwolenth. He needs to know.
