Drift Approaches the Founders!

Color Group Choice: Red Guard
RP/Story:
Drift had really started to settle in around the Arbor. He was enjoying this new life he had discovered here among the creative, friendly warren. The Red Guard was very appealing to the general hero complex he had recently discovered within himself, and he had really bonded with Fivespot with the recent birth of their kits. Yes, he thought to himself, it's time I made this official. This is my home now. HOME what a weird thought, to have a real place of my own! He had been wandering most of his short life before arriving, and had never felt like he belonged so deeply to a place as he did now.
The air was warm, it was a lovely summer afternoon and the warren had been buzzing for days over the prep for this joining ceremony. He had tried to help, but all he was good at was holding things and manual labor when needed. Painting and singing were not his thing, but if you needed a rock moved he was your guy. Casually he lounged off to the side as he mused over this life. It was a peaceful feeling, and he smiled to himself as he watched his kits chasing each other around the gathering rabbits. Fivespot flicked an ear at him from where she was sitting with the other founders. He returned the little flick greeting with his own ear. You could feel the excitement as bunnies chatted animatedly and showed off their crafts. The yellow group were taking turns performing on a flat rock they thought of as a stage of sorts. He was definitely feeling some anticipation build up. Was he nervous? Nah, it's not so bad, just a chat with the Founders about joining... you got this.
The sun was setting and the revelry and antics had eased into comfortable groups chatting and relaxing on the soft grass under the Arbor vines. Now was the time, Drift decided, and hopped forward to greet the Founders Council formally. He smiled at Smudge, who was becoming a good friend and gave a knowing nod to Caper. He was looking forward to getting to know the captain of the guard better and working with him and the other Red Guard rabbits.
"Hey guys, as you all ...or mostly know by now, I'm Drift. I've been visiting a while and just wanted to come and make a more official declaration that I want to stay with the warren... always." He grinned, as much as an expressive bunny could anyway to Fivespot, and continued his little unpracticed speech.
"I would like to call the Arbor my home, but more importantly, I have already offered my assistance to Caper of the Red Guard, and would like to become a guard of the warren. If y'all will have me that is." He stated and sat back on his haunches. Being a bun of few words, he suddenly realized he really had not prepared anything else to say beyond that.
