Zero nodded, and rose as she commanded. "Yes m'lady...I've always been of a low rank, even though my father was an Alpha." Perhaps that was a bit too much to say. Too late now, it had fallen out of his mouth. He never really met his father personally, only in dreams and through his mothers words...

She nodded, understanding.
I see. Well, we have a small pack; if you join, you'd be lowest member-- but only below Head Alphen and I. We'll see where you end up in a larger version leter; but we are not too harsh judges.

Demisi blinked, optics flicking open to rest on the newcomer. He pulled himself up despite his fatigue, looking rather mortified as he slipped forward to stand beside Zethiael. Clearing his throat, he addressed the brute.
"Eh.. I apologize. Welcome to Ithildin.. I am Demisi, Head Alphen... Who might you be?"
Plume was raised somewhat in polite dominance, but it felt rather queer to the brute. Crania was raised confidently, however, as he turned to study the other's slightly odd appearance. And the red fur.. It was intriguing. The Alphen had yet to see such a hue.

Zero nodded, though turned his attention to the one he assumed as Alpha. He lowered his head beneath his shoulders, tail under belly immediatly. "I am called Zero, m'lord..." He wasn't the type to speak quiet and fearful, no, he still spoke strongly. Just submitted like some didn't. He turned his head over his shoulder briefly, though it sunk back down to the Alpha.

"Do rise.."
The brute insisted, golden optics fixing on the brute, in case he should do anything.. eccentric. A light smile graced his features as he dipped his maw in acknowledgement. Well.. he seemed to be a wolf worth trusting, although Demisi often put his trust in the most unpredictable beast.
"You're welcome to tour the packlands, if you're looking to join a pack.. We currently have two terras established, with plenty of land yet to be discovered."

Zethiael stepped back, staggered so she was slightly behind him, the sleepy head. Aye. And free for taking.. we're Head Alphens and Alphena, so we govern all the lands, but that' sdifferent. YOu could be head of one, of you so chose.

Zero did as commanded, and rose to his feet. Besides, it hurt his ankle slightly. "I...yes, I was hopping to be part of a pack if that was alright...my father was an Alpha as well..." He acknowledged the wolf's position. He did not know of his fathers name however. Too young to remember it at the time of his death. He eyed the landscape around him, fascinated by every part about it.

The Head Alphen looked slightly pleased at this.
"Was he? Good, strong position... My father was alphen before me, as well, but.."
He trailed off, distant for a moment, then shook his head as if to dismiss the idea. He looked almost hopefully to Zero, plume picking up its idle motion.
"Aye, alpha positions are open.. There are two packs.. Would you like to hear more about them?"

Zero yet kept his head lower as well as his tail, but not all the way as before. "Yes, but he died before I got to know him well. That would be a pleasure if you could tell me more m'lord..." He kept his eyes focused on the Alphen's own optics as well. Iris' were quite amusing to gaze deeply into sometimes...

A frown tainted the Alphen's maw in sympathy, he also relaxing the visegrip he had on himself slightly.
"That's terrible... Well.. If you're looking for a pack, there are currently two: Dúrrán and Celebravan. If you have.. darker tastes, you may enjoy Dúrrán... entire terra's black as night."
He paused, glancing in a westerly direction toward the shadowy territory. He didn't much care for the lands, as they made him uncomfortable... He wasn't one to be fond of darkness or nighttime.. It was an inexplicable sense of foreboding, something that locked his being into a state of uneasiness. With Zethiael, who positively adored shadows with an air of confidence, he calmed some, but caught alone, he often panicked.
The brute turned his gaze toward an immensely tall structure looming in the distance, a huge, narrow peak spiraling upward to a single, flattened apex. The zenith was capped with snow, which gave it the appearance of glittering in the sunlight. He seemed to favor this terra, as cheery sunlight poured into it through the day.
"That's Thilivren Peak... It's in Celebravan, the other pack. Celebravan.. I'm reserving it as a sanctuary for travelers. Loners are welcome to stop by and rest their paws, perhaps join, as well as.. older wolves."

Zero shook his head at the sound of the darker pack. "No, my tastes would be anything but the dark type wolves. My father did as well, or so my mother told me. I don't mind his death though...I was too young..." He shook it away, perhaps saying too much about himself. "Anyways, the dark kind is not my type I guess you could say..." He jerked his head back over his shoulder again, as if he were sure something was there, but it wasn't of course...

He nodded grimly in agreement.
"Aye.. I don't care for.. dark places, myself. And I'm sure your father was a good beast.."
He blinked, staring rather involuntarily at the brute. He seemed nervous, or anxious, or something.. Like someone was watching him. Demisi cleared his throat quietly, craning his own neck to peer in the direction Zero was so intent on looking. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary.. And there certainly weren't any others the Alphen knew about.
"Are you.. all right, m'lord?"

Zero turned his attention quickly back to the Alpha, His eyes wider as well now. "Yes m'lord, I just...thought I heard something..." He turned back one last time and shook his head. "It was nothing though, forgive me..." He gave a slight grin now. "Then perhaps I just stay here, I suppose..."

After a moment, Demisi nodded slowly. Right. He hoped the brute was sane, and just.. paranoid. Even so, he stole a glance at the wood in case Zero had been right. He turned back, a smile curving his maw lightly.
"Aye.. I'm glad you've decided to stay. We need members, aye? So.. Alphen of Celebravan?"
Calm and composed as he appeared, faintly contented at the newcomer, inwardly the Alphen was thrilled to pieces. Finally, he had a member. Well. Besides Zethiael, but.. anyway. He had always wanted to lead a pack, always wanted to make a difference, wanted to feel.. /needed./ Now he was not the alpha of one pack, but several. His smile broadened ever so slightly as the sense of accomplishment flooded him.

Zero's eyes widened as he blinked in disbelief. "What? Whaa-Alpha of Celebravan? But you've hardly begun to know me m'lord!" He stated in concern. Dubbed an Alpha already? OOC||Sorry, writers block hurts at night! XD||
