Quote: Rambo looked at her, a sudden flash of sadness sparked in his eyes. "I once knew a tiger that had no stripes. Its rare, but it happens." He said.
Ivy brought her head up, level to his. "Did that tiger belong to a clan?" she asked hopefully.
Rambo nodded. "Yeah, but she died in battle. She was one of the best fighters in the clan." He said sadly.
"What clan?" She asked excitedly, her tail twitched with interest. If she was part of a clan, maybe I can join that clan! She thought hopefully.
"My clan." He replied back in a calm tone. He smiled faintly, remembering all the good times he had with that tiger. His tail swayed gently as he looked at Ivy.
Ivy's eyes sparkled. "Do you.... do you think they would accept me?" she asked softly, praying down deep in her heart they would.
Rambo nodded firmly. "I know that you will be accepted, the clan would be glad to have you. We don't judge tigers by their appearance." He said.
By now, Ivy's tail was whipping back and forth in happiness. She beamed. "Oh, thank you, thank you!" she said gratefully.
Rambo smiled happily. "No problem. We better get back to the clan before we get caught by any other tigers or poachers." He said as he got up and started walking back to the clan.
Ivy jumped to her paws and followed quickly, but still limped slightly. Her face was bright.
Rambo soon got back to the clan. He smiled brightly when he spotted the alpha.
Solo looked at Rambo and Ivy. She walked towards them cautiously. "Who's this?" She asked.
Ivy almost shrank back, but when her back brushed Rambo's legs she stopped. She knew alphas didn't admire weakness. Instead, she held her head high and looked at Rambo to introduce her.
Rambo glanced at Ivy then quickly looked back at Solo. "This is Ivy." He said. "Is it ok if she joins our clan?"
Solo smiled and nodded. "Nice to meet you, Ivy." She said then looked at Rambo with a firm nod.
