His smile broadened as he heard Sahara's answer. She had agreed to join him, the first member of his new pack. His new family. He was happy that she agreed, he could certainly use her help looking after the many wolves passing through this place lately. His immediate happiness was short lived, however, when the other wolf had hesitantly turned down his offer. She didn't seem so sure of her answer, something that became obvious to him as he saw her face when the pup let out a terribly sad howl as she turned to leave with him. The red-eyed wolf's heart felt like it was going to break. He couldn't let this woman and her pup just leave to wander on their own again. He had to at least make sure they were safe for the night.
"At least spend the night here. I have a sort of camp set up in the forest not far from here. It's in a small clearing near a river. It's far enough from any humans or paths that we wouldn't be discovered. The trees and large boulders scattered throughout give enough shelter to sleep comfortably. And there is ample room for your pup to play." he said quickly, hoping the wolf might take up his offer for company and shelter for the night. It was getting late after all, the light in the forest was nearly gone now.
Jason glanced hesitantly at the she-wolf he had been addressing, unsure of whether she would agree to stay or not. Slowly, he limped the few remaining feet toward her and the pup, crouching low to the ground and holding his right hand forward, palm up. His body language had no aggression or deceit in it, simply being open and welcoming as he tried to say hello to Bay as the wolf called him.
