Sequoia watched the events of the meeting unfold before her, her mind's workings silencing her tongue. She trusted her mind more than anything, and in a situation as delicate as this, her mind would be her best friend, she simply needed to give it time to process and produce a plan that would not end in bloodshed. The arrival of Snow, one of the pack's scouts, did nothing to calm her nerves, rather deepen the concerned furrows of her brow as she saw a third death if the Wintersmoon wolves decided to attack. Her tail swayed about anxiously, her fur flickering out of nerves. She heard the aggression in the alpha's call. She calculated and convinced herself the rest of his pack would be surrounding them at this very moment; there was no way an alpha would be foolish enough to approach strangers alone with an entire pack at his disposal. She acknowledged Snow with a quick nuzzle on her packmate's neck, the scent of the scout familiar and calming to her.

Quoia wished she were standing closer to Pan, his scent was as familiar as her own and his fur's texture was comforting and calming. While she appreciated having two packmates at her side, her logics told her it was foolish for Snow to have come. Nothing but a full, healthy pack could stand a chance against the wolves of these lands, and for Snow to have come here, it was nothing more than a third guaranteed death if the meeting disintegrated into a violent affair.

She watched the alpha approach, she listened to the exchange between Farkas and Pan. She observed the alpha female approach and make her dominance clear. She listened closely to the opposing alpha's words and defences. He made many clear and reasonable points. She nodded to herself, seeing now that the wolf before her was a wise and considerate wolf, taking great care in the protection and well-being of his pack. This wolf's hesitancy told her that while he was clearly capable of intense aggression, he would not summon it without dire cause. He wanted to protect his pack, that was his goal. He did not want to destroy strangers, he did not want to harm others, he wanted to protect his pack and that would be the reason he acted out in the ways she feared. This was good, she felt more confident now after listening to the exchange between the two males.

When she found a break in the conversation between the two, she stepped forward, keeping her tail low and avoiding eye contact, despite the burning annoyance that pulsed through her at the level of submission she offered to an alpha not her own. She spoke with respect, a cool tone that insinuated nothing but submission. "Alpha Farkas of the Wintersmoon Pack, noble Mate of the Alpha and Alpha Female, I am Sequoia, beta of the Stardust Vale Pack" she said, addressing each of the two before her with terms of respect. "I would pay my respect and my admiring to your character as an alpha. It is clear that your pack's safety and the captivity of these lands for your future generations is of the utmost importance to you. Your accusations are understandable, expectable, and admirable. If you did not consider the possibility of myself and my pack-mates being a threat, you would not likely be the leader of these pack lands that you are. But it is clear you have long ruled these lands with skill and intellect."

She lowered her head a little more, showing her submission further to the pair as she approached slowly. When she was no more than 2 feet away, she lowered herself to the ground, bowing deeply, showing vulnerability as the jaws of the alpha's gained clear shots at her main arteries at the nape of her neck. Inside she was half terrified, but outside she kept her cool. This was not the time for fear to overrule reason.

"Your duty is to your pack, and this will always be respected. We understand that trust is not default, but earned and proven and re-proven time and again. We do not ask for your trust and belief at this time, for it would be an insult to assume an alpha of such bountiful lands would feed into the words of any stranger that crosses his borders. The truth cannot be proven at this time. All that stands at this moment is the word of three wolves, my personal word, which I offer to you on the terms of my own life. We have come into the lands of a well known, well established pack, we three, a number so puny, and we came with certain knowing that our lives would be at the jaws of the Wintersmoon Pack. I would hope you would not assume so lowly of us, by nature, that we are foolish enough to think we could walk in here and hold out ground. No, we have put our lives on the line to seek counsel with you and your mate. What reason would have have to enter into your lands unprotected, call out to you in the open light of the day, sit and wait on the top of an unsheltered hill, and wait silently as your pack surrounds us and you approach? What reason to endanger our lives so but to save our lives in the first place? Our lands are gone, our pack is injured, we will die without refuge. You speak wisely in noting the lack of prey in the winter months, and we understand your position. But if you help us, we will earn our keep. We will strengthen your pack during our stay. We will fight for you as our leader, we will hunt at your side to feed your pack for but enough to survive off for our own."

She looked up, now sure she could make eye contact without offence from her submissive place on the earth. "We will respect whatever decision you make, and we will meet whatever demands you put into place that we might prove to you that we mean no harm. Our alpha is injured, like most of our pack. We came here as ambassadors for our alpha. We came to beg for your mercy, in whatever form you see fit. A cycle of the moon, two, whatever time you might offer us in your lands, if any at all, will be forever appreciated and never forgotten. Alpha's of the Wintersmoon Pack, we ask for your mercy."
