[Eun understands human nature so well, but she does not entirely get the nuances of the wolves she is among now. It was a similar issue in the pack back home. She could see the other wolves seeing that from Kara's acceptance she has made friends with the younger girl, and perhaps even that the fact Eun is trusted with Kara means that they do not consider her a threat. But it's her wolf who has to point out that in trusting Eun around Kara, they place her in the same category of one to be protected. She is among allies during that meeting, to help drive home Bran's point.
That she is welcomed.
That she is to be safe.
That they will protect her, just as she would protect them.
And that, while she is not pack yet, she may still become pack.
Knowing that it's coming, that Bran is coming, Eun manages to shrug away any tension that comes with anticipation, and takes his hand when offered. She moves to rise and stand where he guides her, doing her best to keep her expression neutral. She had decided that the most she would allow herself would be the faint curve up of her lips, but no more than that if she wanted to be taken seriously.
Her wolf at least seems pleased at the attention bestowed upon them by the Marrok, as Eun in turn responds to all that he's said.]
Thank you Marrok and alpha of the Aspen Creek Pack, for allowing me to come to your territory and offering your protection to roam freely through it. I am grateful for the opportunity to enjoy this extended stay here in Aspen Creek to consider my future options, and will do my utmost to protect the pack to the best of my abilities, as they would protect me. Thank you very much for your welcome and shelter.
[It feels a little repetitive, but Eun decides it would be better to err on the side of caution, to make it clear that she accepts his protection, that she will offer the same, and that yes, she is grateful for all that he offers her during her time there. She pauses a beat, and after giving Bran a quick glance, she offers Kara, and the rest of the pack, a sly little smile.]
And here I thought I was past the days of that "new kid in school" experience.

[Forgive her, Bran, she could not help herself.]
