~1/9/21
Sorrelstepper trotted into Tobias' den, trying to hide her heavy panting. She had just returned from a successful hunting expedition, netting the pack an entire elk cow carcass. Tobias was rolling around on the ground, letting out excited yips as he spread his freshly made bedding everywhere for the 3rd time that moon. Sorrelstepper whined quietly, causing the Alpha to freeze in fright. He quickly scrambled to his feet, shaking himself off and sitting down to face her.
"O-oh, Sorrelstepper! I didn't see you there! What can I help you with?" For whatever reason, the question she'd been meaning to ask her Alpha seemed too big a task. She nibbled at one of her dirt-caked claws for a moment before meeting Tobias' blue eyes. Taking a big breath to steady her nerves, she began to speak.
"I know the pack needs food desperately, and I am willing to provide food whenever I can...however, I feel I am better made for scouting, which is why I have come into your den. I'd like to ask-"
"If you can be a scout. I'm aware of your ambitions, and I've been wanting to make you one for a while. I was just waiting for this very moment to confirm whether or not it was still something you wanted." Tobias finished with his signature lopsided grin. Sorrelstepper blinked in surprise, his words taking a couple seconds to sink in. With a happy yelp, she leapt to her paws and did an excited spin.
"Oh, thank you Alpha! I'll run out on another hunt and bring back a final carcass for the pack!" She all but sprinted back out of the den, howling gleefully. That went easier than she thought!
