Rose's paws carried her forth from the camp clearing. Her tail swayed as she went to do something she found herself quite enjoying, the border patrol. She liked meeting the many new wolves that wished to be accepted into the pack. Her ears flicked with each step she took, one stride after the other. Her paws hardly touched the ground as she kept moving, body and tail swaying with every joyful step she took. Her heart was beating and her breathing was gentle, she decided to take it fairly slow today. She was always running but now she was going to try to take it easy and relax. A howl interrupted her thoughts and instantly threw her from taking it slow to running at her full speed. She let her own soft voice ring out in a responding howl. Her paws slid across the earth as she pushed herself forward in a quick run. Her tail swung behind her and she felt as if she could just jump for joy. She was in one of her best moods and as she neared the border, she slowed her pace and caught her breath. She let her tail swing neutrally between her legs and she hid in the shadows until she saw the he-wolf that had called her forth. Slowly, she approached with a smile upon her face. She sat down and curled her tail around her body and let it rest upon her front paws. "Hello fair stranger, I am Delta Rose of these lands known as Helidos. Whom might you be and is there anyway I may be able to help you?" She smiled and tilted her head ever so slightly to show she was curious. Her ears flicked slightly as she awaited to hear the she-wolf speak unto her. She swayed with the winter wind that wove it's way through the woods they were in. Rose kept herself friendly, as that was all she could ever do to welcome another. Her amber eyes searched the fae in front of her, watching her carefully in case he may attack. She rolled her shoulders back and made sure she sat very still and straight, but relaxed to let the other wolf know that was of no harm to her.

Rose chuckled warmly and nodded her head. "Oh indeed not, all ranks Delta and above are in charge of accepting lovely new members at the border. Such as yourself Acon." She called the fae by what she wanted, understanding fully the despising of a full name. Her own sister had changed her name, though that was of no shock to herself. Her tail swished and she looked startled as the she-wolf pressed her nose against Rose's cheek. She leaped backwards, her fur standing on end and a low growl escaped her maw. Her amber eyes lit a blaze, she had learned to be trusting... but there were limits that a stranger could do to her. "At ease Aconitum. You shouldn't have crossed the borders and touched a stranger like you know them. It startled me." Her fur settled down and she licked her maw guiltily, hoping not to startle the she-wolf off. "I am not used to sudden touch from strangers, but setting that aside..." She straightened out, looking like a perfect princess she felt she should be. "I have a few questions for you, first... where have you come from? What are the skills you can offer Helidos?" She pondered as to what exactly she should say to the strong looking fae. Of course Rose was at a slight disadvantage due to the fact that she was much smaller then the fae. Her amber eyes sparkled at the thought of accepting such an eager wolf. Surely this Aconitum will do well within our family, our pack. She is eager and friendly beyond expected. I believe she will be a fine addition as long as she keeps her cool some of the time. She thought quietly to herself and then slowly licked her muzzle again, ears flicking forward as she awaited a response from the fae. She thought about how she had been when she was younger, always exploring and not having a care in the world. She had always run up to strangers and tackled them with all her might, or she would be shy when her parents or siblings had been with her. She smiled at the small memories that appeared in her mind.

Rose watched and listened to the she-wolf, she was indeed a mad wolf. Insane with heartache was Rose's guess. Her own amber eyes narrowed and she slowly stood, her small frame tilted at an angle so she may see the other fae clear enough. It was clear in her mind that the fae was indeed crazy, she had no right to judge, but she had never met such a wild wolf before. As the darker she-wolf looked disgusted upon Rose, she felt guilty but her stance stayed strong and her face emotionless as she watched the strange creature. Her deep amber eyes studied every part of her, watching with a curious glint. Is this what a crazy wolf is like? She thought quietly to herself, listening to the words that were spoken. Slowly, she walked forward, walking around the darker she-wolf. "Acon, every wolf has a past and I have come to the conclusion that you hold some kind of bottled emotion within you." She paused and stopped directly in front of the taller she-wolf, her amber eyes looking up at the hues that melted like honey. "Even with such emotions, as long as you can promise me that your loyalty will stay with Helidos and that no harm will come upon the members of this pack, then I will accept you as a Warrior." Slowly the white fae backed away and sat upon her haunches, looking on for a few moments of silence. "You do not look like a brute, you look very beautiful and are obviously can be seen as a fae." She tried to be reassuring, hoping that her kindness would help open the she-wolf up. "Acon, is there anything I can help you with? I am and always will be here, if you need to vent anger, or hurt, or just talk anything out that bothers you... let me know and perhaps I can be of some help." She slowly let the words fall off her tongue and into the open air, she really did care about the darker female, but she was also concerned for her pack-mates. She breathed in and out slowly, watching every movement the fae would make. She felt protective of her family, the place she called home and she only cared about the safety of others. She wanted the darker she-wolf to be safe, to find a family among them and to be able to feel free from her past emotions. Rose didn't know the story, nor the past, but she knew the present was as good as any to finally be free.

Rose took a deep breath and nodded as the fae talked. "Acon, I am kind because it is how I was treated, sure I have had rough spots, but I want everyone to see me and know I am a friend, not an enemy." She turned and started walking away throwing her head to look over her shoulder. "Come, lets us get you fed and a den so you may rest at ease. Herbs for a headache is you please." She turned and twitched her tail, motioning for the darker fae to follow her into the camp clearing. Once there, she would help the fae find a den and show her the kill pile so she may eat till her hearts content. Rose smiled at the thought of helping her, showing her that not every wolf was bad. She would not speak again, letting it settle in that the fae was finally home and safe. Rose was proud that she was able to accept others and bring wolves into their pack to watch them grow and see them become better then they are.
