Only listened to Baratheon and a flutter of hope sprang up in her stomach. She had not set out that morning to locate a pack, or to change her life so drastically, but surely meeting this fine fellow was a sign. They were meant to meet, weren’t they? Was this the chance that she had secretly been hoping for and longing for? "I would be honored to meet this Mother, you speak of," Only said, moving yet another step closer to this other wolf dog. She did not want to say it out loud, but she was willing to go anywhere to be able to spend more time with this male, who was so kind to her, and who shared a similar heritage. But there was more, too.
"Do you think she will find some worth in me?" Only peered at him with her blue eyes. "I have been alone for some time, but I am more than willing to fight and die, protect and care for those whom I trust." It had just been a while since she was last able to trust anyone. She hoped that her trust in Baratheon was justified. “Since you are the Seer, what can you see in me?”
Perhaps it was not the most appropriate thing to ask, but she was curious to his response. And he intrigued her, even more, now knowing his position within this prospective pack. She wondered if Mother would accept her, and then what role they would bestow upon her.

But he was not deterred by it, in fact, he was rather happy about it. It's true, he would have liked to have this female in his pack, would have liked to have someone like him around. But not only that, she showed promise and her words were sincere. If anything, Baratheon trusted her.
"Ah, my lady, I do so wish to introduce you to her but I'm afraid that our Mother is away on other pack business. I was left o oversee all new pack members until her return." Baratheon knew not when the Mother would be back but he hoped for her safe return. He hated when she was gone for he spent every night awake, wondering about her condition and whether or not she was successful in her endeavors. In the mean time, it was up to Baratheon to judge whether this canine should or should not be allowed to join their ranks. In this case, it was not a difficult decision to make.
"Well, Only, I see a lot of things. I see a canine who has not lived an easy life and who has endured much." He paused for a moment and looked her directly in the eyes, contemplating his next words carefully. I also sense a certain strength in you, Only. A type of silent resilience which has kept you going since your family's death." At this, he got to his feet and with as much courtesy as possible, bowed his head deep and low. "You are welcome in The Cornerstone pack, my lady." He looked up again and smiled, a hearty, genuine smile that accentuated his handsome features. | |

This was it, then, Only decided. She watched Baratheon bow his head like the gentleman he was, and look into her eyes expectantly. He needed a response. "I would be honored to be numbered within the ranks of the Cornerstone Pack," Only said. It seemed like the only choice she could make. This was to be the beginning of a new life for her, and she was eager to begin it. She was curious to meet these other canines who were accepting of those like herself.
"Since the Mother is away and you are the one left in charge, what role do you bestow upon me?" She knew well enough that within a pack, the members each had roles and responsibilities. "I have many skills and talents I could utilize for the benefit of the pack." She had lived long enough in solitary to have honed many necessary tracking and hunting skills.
It was a weight off her mind to be a part of something. And the decision was made even easier to make since she knew Baratheon was part of it. She welcomed the opportunity to learn more about him, and perhaps get closer to him. Never had she been so drawn to another; and the emotion was a little frightening. But she would not show it; she was too strong for that. She dipped her head ever slightly, and met his gaze, waiting for his response.
