Reed nodded his head and continued to wag his tail. "Well then, thank you, Bramble." He stated formally, moving to stand so he could bow his head low and rump up. A respectful bow that turned into a half stretch as his back legs complained about moving.

However, his tail tucked low between his legs as golden eyes caught sight of Snowfall approaching. It didn't look as if Bramble's half-brother had warmed up to Reed at all, but he assumed Snowfall acted that way to protect the Omega despite his status as leader. It was in their nature to keep the Omegas in the pack safe, though Bramble did seem more than capable of taking care of himself.

Bramble didn't need to repeat himself. Reed couldn't remember the last time he'd had fingers instead of paws, long before leaving his previous pack. His shifts had always been easy, and rarely painful. Because his muscles were sore from his travels, he winced slightly as he took the shape of a man rubbing at his shoulders with his hands as his back cracked more than he'd have liked as he stood.

In his human shape he kept his golden eyes and shockingly silver hair, despite his young age for a wolf. His coat was actually darker than the rest of his brothers and made it slightly difficult to hide in the white snow, drawing too much attention with the sun. He ran his fingers through the hair on his head, brushing the short bangs out of his face as he did.

For a moment he'd forgotten he wasn't alone, and his bright gold eyes turned expectedly to Bramble with a light of their own.
