@Arashi + @Satan I finally made the thread LMAO


Nyra lead the strange man from the Oasis to the Eye in silence. 
She didn't offer many words unless he spoke first.
Her goal at the moment was simply to get them both to her home alive.

The goal was met, and they arrived as the sun was leaving its last rays in the distant horizon. 

Nyra loosened a howl for Satan to come pass judgement on their potential newest. After all, it was his kingdom. She wouldn't get a break if she didn't pass it by him first, she felt.

The hound followed in silence, rummaging through various thoughts in his mind of what this King would be like. Then onto thinking whether he could accept a future with this Warcrest. Would he stay, or would he go? Something that couldn't yet be decided.

Prepared to wait, for however long it took for the summoned to arrive, Arashi sat nearby, keeping a decent between himself and the white woman.

He had been lounging in his den, relaxing a little this evening before heading out to hunt. Stretching slightly, he would make his way out of the den, catching the scent of Nyra and another male. A ping of jealousy coursed through him as he approached, eyes flickering between the woman and the new male. "Nyra, good to see you again." He would aim to wrap himself around her, putting his scent all over her as he stared down the male. "And who is this?" He would look  between the two of them, waiting to see what either of them would say.

Nyra smiled softly as Satan came to her call, feeling a streak of power course in her veins as the King possessively weaved himself around her before inclining his interest to the man she was with. 

"This is Arashi. He may be interested in joining us." She answered, glancing to the Samurai to gauge his reactions from the interaction so far.

There was an uncanny gleam awakening in his gaze, eyes flickering between the woman and man. Both wore a coat with a similar hue, which confused him slightly when he coiled himself possessively around her. Arashi wasn't sure of how to piece together their recurring relationship; but then, did he really care? The two were complete strangers. He had no dictation here, and he certainly had no claim over any woman that walked near.

Shortly of the query of his presence was announced, the hound's name had been offered from lips not his own. With it given, there was nothing left to answer; thus, the gargantuan remained silent, staring blatantly unto the soul of the white, so-called  King. 

What would come next?.. he wondered.

The man would move to walk right up to the other man, sniffing the air as he took in the man's scent. For a moment, he just stood there, red eyes watching the male closely before finally speaking up, his voice low in a growl. "What can you do of use?" He wasn't running a charity here and those that joined needed to pull their weight. Sure, Nyra had brought the man in, but Satan wasn't going to give the man any leeway just because of that. 

His body was tense as he waited, listening closely to what the man would say. It was depending on that for what Satan would do next. Part of him hoped the male said something about fighting as Satan was itching to fight, seeing what the man was made of. But, he wasn't going to just beat up the man for no reason. At least not at first interaction.

The Warqueen would wait and watch as Satan buffeted into the personal bubble of the Samurai. 
She could speak for him, she felt, but it would look better on both she and Arashi if he answered for himself.

The Deputy would keep her eyes on the men with an impassive stare.

Based upon the ragged appearance of both white wolves, it was easy to assume what entertained them: war, blood, battle, chaos. If not of a clear head, Arashi would have shared such interests.

"What can you do of use?"

In the eyes of Satan, there would have been only one desired answer; there was no right or wrong answer, but it was obvious which he wanted to hear. Fortunately for him, the hound had only one to give.

“Kill, track, subdue...” A simple list, one he was known by well from others more familiar. 

With nothing more than a brief glance to the woman who watched with keen patience, Arashi bore a shrewd glare upon the man, waiting to see how he would respond to the list of talents he had provided.

The man raised an eyebrow, noting that Nyra didn't chime in which honestly, was for the better. He would have certainly thought less of the man for not being able to speak for himself. As he spoke though, Satan lifted an eyebrow, thinking for a moment before speaking. "What are your thoughts about slavery?" It was a rather open ended question, but one that was serious. He had thought about where to put this man, but he had to make sure he was down for the job. This man might make the perfect Slaver, gathering slaves for the pack, but he couldn't have a Slaver that hated slavery, now could he.

Skipping Nyra with permission


"What are your thoughts on slavery?"

A rather odd, arbitrary query. But most, if not all, were a means to some point.

“My thoughts are..- indifferent, towards the concept suggested.” There was not meant to be a sense of hesitance in his response, but more of a hope he had worded the answer in the right way. 

The concept of slavery had never been one he'd faced. Back home, the samurai had not practiced anything similar. So, it was only right to say he was simply indifferent.

The man would think for a moment, nodding slightly. It wasn't necessarily the answer he was expecting, but it was good enough for him. "Very well, I give you three options then. You can take on the rank of Slaver, to gather slaves and maintain our current ones, hunter to gather the majority of the food to stock the caches, or you can be a warrior, focusing on protecting members and the borders." With that, he would wait to see what the man would choose, perfectly fine with him choosing either. However, he certainly had his own opinions.

Short post from me </3

 

The Warqueen would listen as Satan spoke to Arashi, giving him, ultimately, three options, assuming Arashi still wanted to join Warcrest...

Slaver, Hunter, or Warrior. 
Nyra herself was already, in a sense, all three of those things, and aspiring to be even more, though the progress in such was slow going.

She remained quiet, allowing the men to converse further.

He didn't take long to think on this answer. It was clear, by the man's original question of his take on slavery, that the first option was the one the king saw him most fit for (in a way). If to remain within these grounds, favor was something wise to gain. And what better way than walk the path they give far better than any other could.

“Slaver.” Arashi answered without hesitance, staring boldly, yet harshly, towards Satan. 

With this role, the beast would be given an opportunity to show himself off and sink a few naps between his teeth. A win-win, if the cards were played right.

The man would nod simply, accepting the male into his home. "Very well, welcome to Warcrest." With that, he would start to walk away, though gesture with his head for the man to follow. He figured that a tour was in order, at least enough for him to know where he could and couldn't go. "Come, I will show you around." He would start to walk off, not really caring if the man did follow or not. Either way, he was heading off into the caves.

Warcrest.

Once it had been an unfamiliar place. Now, it was his land of purpose; a home, after years of having none.

"Come, I will show you around."

Plain and simple, an offer, but not an order. If he was to live here, the lay of the territory would need be known.

So, as his new king took lead, the slaver moved to follow.
