This did not do much to remedy his red face, but Partridge did seize the chance to push forward in the conversation - as well as the tempo of their walk. "Y-Yes, of course, n-no d-doubt!" he said somewhat dismissively, tail twitching. "There now, th-there now . . . Ah, we're here!" There wasn't any grand entrance into the pack other than clear wolf prints and various scents, most notably Chivosi's and Merrill's; one of course was the alpha and had to reinforce the boundaries, and the other did enough patrols as it was.
"It's, er, it's not much, but it's home," he finished lamely, but at least with a small smile. "I'll go show you where the alpha is so she can formally welcome you in." Hopefully his shame would wash away before meeting Chivosi . . .
