To say that Wormwood was caught off guard when Olalla asked the two of them to join his pack would be an understatement. He was pretty damn shocked that this canine had just wandered up into their territory, began asking all these different questions and then proceeded to ask them if they wanted to leave their home. The male stared at Olalla for a moment before he snapped out of his shock, letting out a few soft chuckles and shaking his head from side to side. He rumbled softly after a moment, a soft smile curling upon his muzzle, "Erm... I don't wanna talk for Moth, but I'm pretty sure that we're both good here in Tanglewood. This place is our home, and it more than likely always will be." He had been here for quite a while now, and Moth had been around for just as much time if not longer, so he was pretty sure that the both of them would remain here until their ultimate ends. Of course, he couldn't say that with absolute certainty, since Moth was her own person, but Wormwood liked to believed that he had become pretty familiar with her and her thinking over time, and now that they were practically like siblings, he was pretty sure that Moth wouldn't be running off somewhere else, at least not right now. As for himself... he couldn't imagine anywhere other than Tangle he would rather be.
Meanwhile, even though he knew that ye and Moth certainly weren't going to be leaving... he wasn't sure that he wanted Olalla going off on his own either. It was pretty obvious from how he acted that the canine was pretty naive, and Wormwood wasn't sure how many people would actually join a pack led by someone like that, so he knew Olalla couldn't possibly be going off to a safe life. Ultimately it was probably better for everyone if Olalla found a home with others that could help to protect him. Taking a deep breath, the lion rumbled as his tail flicked from side to side, shaking his head a bit, "Even though we don't want to join your pack... that doesn't mean that you have to leave here. Things are dangerous out there, and there's always a chance that others won't want to join your pack as well, and it would make more sense for you to just stay here in Tanglewood. We'd be happy to have you, and it's not as if you'd be treated as some "peasant", if you're worried about the way that lower wolves are treated in packs... that's not how things work around here." It was a last ditch effort to not have Olalla disappear off the face of the Earth in front of them, since Worm didn't want to be responsible for the male wandering off and getting himself killed.
