They hadn't even made it to the herds before the little fae fell asleep. Unfortunately, she couldn't wait for the pup to wake up so that she could show her, seeing as how it was about time for the meeting. So, she carried her back and deposited her in the nursery before padding towards mountains at the edge of the meadow. Saigh and Kazmarez had gone out to patrol and informed her before they left that they might not be back in time for the meeting, and asked that she host it. She felt the tiniest bit awkward about it, if only because she had never hosted a meeting here in Kladd`atir by herself - usually Saigh or Kazmarez co-hosted. Anyways, she found there was no time for nerves as when she reached the base of the mountain and glanced up at the sky, she realized that it was time to start. She settled back on her haunches and lifted her muzzle to howl; calling all of her pack members for the meeting. [18:04] * Maester approached the Hollow for the meeting and settled himself down to attend. His tail sweeping out behind him in an excited manner. [18:04] * Aquilo gave a head tilt at the betas howl calling for a meeting. The large male got to his paws and began limping over to where the silvery she wolf sat. His amber eyes were searching for Aithusa determined to sit next to the golden fae. [18:05] * Tanvi woke to the sound of a howl. With a groggy huff the pup looked around and saw she was in her den surrounded by the herbs covering the walls and floor. With a yawn Tanvi pulled herself out into the clearing and padded over to the meeting area. Once there the young wolf took a seat and waited to see what this meeting would hold. [18:06] * +Leilani pulls herself up and pads over to the forming group, responding to the howl that was clearly calling everyone to gather. She'd perk her ears and settle contently, hoping she'd see her cousin today. [18:07] * %Xiodax lifts his dark furred muzzle and answers the Beta's call. Then he makes his way towards the pack and the meeting. His dark tail flicks back and forth and his ears prick. He settles towards the back of the group and flops down, getting comfortable. He was a fairly large wolf, so he had a good view. He knew Kelais would be unable to make this meeting, so he would make sure to inform her [18:07] * %Xiodax of the current happenings. [18:08] * Zaephrus could be found in the lake, leaping and splashing in the cool water. Above them, the sun beat onto the wolves and territory . When a howl touched his ears, his frame paused and he stood, climbing out of the water and shaking his pelt free. In the process, he sent a small spray of water about him before padding towards the sound. He didn't know what the sound meant, but he figured it was important. He was... wary, though. He paused be [18:09] * %Hawke perked from her position at the lakeside, her rounded grizzly like audits flickering as the sound of a familiar voice echoed around her. Thrusting herself up upon all fours, she would take a moment to stretch in a feline-esque fashion, before moving to trot towards the main gathering area. As she approached, she noted that many of the others had begun to gather, smiling softly at the [18:09] * %Hawke bustle of activity. She would soon spot the sienna coloured pelt of her cousin, directing herself towards the yearling. She would take a seat upon her haunches moving to nose Leilani gently before turning to focus her attention upon Saoirse. [18:09] * Zaephrus clearing, his head low when he spotted his brother. Blinking, the brute rose his frame and padded towards him, smiling. He'd noticed everyone was sitting, so he followed suit, his ears angling backwards. There were... a lot of pack wolves here. What if they wouldn't accept him? What if they turned on him? The thoughts ebbing at him made his smile fade, and anxiety grow in his chest. [18:10] * Zaephrus paused before the clearing, his head low* )) [18:10] * %Aithusa perked at the call and abandoned her perch by the lake, trotting swiftly toward where the wolves were gathering. Her one-eyed gaze instantly sought out the large ebony male and murred softly as she picked out his burly form from the others. Weaving her lean bodice between furry bodies, she finally reached his side and greeted Aquilo with a warm nuzzle to his cheek. "Finally. I didn't [18:10] * %Aithusa think I would get to see you at all today," she would breath in his ear as she leaned back to plant her rump against the ground beside him. Offering a quick smile up at him, the small female then turned her sights upon the Beta. [18:11] <&Saoirse> -- Alright! We'll do the OOC portion real quick, and then move back IC once we're done. No more IC posts until we're done, and you don't need OOC scripts. -- [18:12] <&Saoirse> First off [18:12] <&Saoirse> While we do enjoy everyones enthusiasm for hunting, we want to make it clear that the cache does not need to remain full 100% of the time and your Health does not need to be at 100 all the time. 80-90 is perfectly acceptable and wolves often go days without eating. That's okay. We are discussing implementing a solo-hunt feature for smaller prey for those who want to use it but keep in mind that we try to keep this to a minimum. We want to keep hunting vastly a "team" sport and we do not want it to loose its appeal because everyone can hunt for themselves. This is still a work in progress and something we will be looking into more in the coming weeks. [18:13] <&Saoirse> Questions/Comments/Concerns: type X, Nothing to add: type - [18:13] - [18:13] <%Xiodax> - [18:13] <+Leilani> - [18:13] <%Hawke> - [18:14] - [18:15] - [18:15] <%Aithusa> X [18:15] <&Saoirse> Aith? [18:15] * Maester is now known as MaesAndro [18:16] <%Aithusa> Say that we do introduce the "solo-hunt" feature. Would we limit how often someone can do that and when exactly? [18:17] <&Saoirse> Honestly, we probably would. But that's something the council will discuss before we introduce it to the pack. We just wanted to let you guys know that it is something that we're considering. [18:18] <%Aithusa> Alrighty, was just curious. x3 [18:18] <&Saoirse> Okay! [18:19] <&Saoirse> Well, that was the only thing to discuss...so Featured Member time!! [18:21] <&Saoirse> We would like to wish Aquilo a big congratulations! You've been consistently active both IC and OOC and you're a joy to be around! [18:21] YAY [18:21] CONGRATS AQUI [18:21] <%Hawke> 'Grats. <3 [18:21] <+Leilani> yay Aquilo! <3 [18:21] * Aquilo squeaks [18:21] <%Xiodax> Congrats Aquilo!!!! :D [18:21] * Tanvi clap [18:22] Claps* [18:22] Thank you guys!

Since Kel isn't here I'd like to let everybody know that we LOVE each and every one of you guys! You all are awesome, and we've pretty much got the best packmembers in the history of forever! [18:27] * %Aithusa throws love on everyone. [18:27] * ~Leif` darts out from beneath a bush and bolts across the hollow, headed for another tree. [18:27] <%Hawke> <3 [18:27] <%Maester> <3 [18:28] <&Saoirse> Alright, back to IC for promotions! [18:33] * &Saoirse smiled lightly as she watched her pack members gather for the meeting, happy to see that so many wolves were attending. She waited until they finished filtering in before softly clearing her throat, "At this time I would like to extend an invitation to any wolf present who would like to begin an Assessment with Kladd`atir to step forward," she says, projecting her voice so that all of the wolves present could hear. She shifted her gaze over the clearing, her brow raised slightly as she waited to see if anybody would come forward. [18:35] * Zaephrus heard the words that Saoirse spoke and tensed up, his fur lifting a bit. He forced it down, angled his ears backwards, and slowly stood. Padding through the crowd, he came into the Beta's view and rose his head. "I'd like to become an assessment." He murmured quietly, glancing nervously towards his brother, Maester, in the crowd. [18:36] * %Hawke would settle her gaze upon the Beta, shifting her attentions only as the question posed on those who wished to join them. She scanned their surroundings, wondering who might be stepping forward. Her flossy brown tail would curl around her form, perking as the wolf she had met the other day stepped forward. A soft smile would spread across her maw, glad to see that Maester's brother had [18:36] * %Hawke made the decision to join them. [18:38] * %Maester nodded encouragingly to Zaephrus, his tail wagging wildly behind him. He knew it was nerve wracking he remembered how nervous he had felt. Murring quietly he listened in silence for the time being. His gaze shifting to look from wolf to wolf to observe the others that had gathered. He was happy to see so many familiar faces. [18:40] * &Saoirse grinned when she saw Zaephrus step forward, glad that Maester's brother had decided to stay. He seemed like a decent wolf, and his brother had definitely seemed happy to have him around. "Assessmentship is a pledge that you will seek no membership with another pack as you get to know the wolves here and we get to know you. Are you sure that you would like to make this commitment?" she asks, canting her head with a furrowed brow. She wanted to make sure that the brute knew what he was getting into before blindly accepting an Assessment with the pack. [18:43] * %Xiodax sits up and tilts his head slightly. He had not yet met Zaephrus, but that did not surprise him. It seemed that many wolves were always wanting to join Kladdatir. They were always welcome. His dark tail flicks gently as he observes. [18:45] * Zaephrus wheezed in a breath when Maester met his eyes, and Zaephrus felt his tensions ebb a little at the younger wolf's smile. Tail swaying a little now, he felt a bit more confident when he turned to the Beta, listening to her questions. Nodding, the brute spoke in a deep tone. "Yes ma'am, I understand. I feel my place is beside my brother, and with this pack." He finished, his ears angling backwards. Several stares burned into his fur, wh [18:45] * Zaephrus wheezed in a breath when Maester met his eyes, and Zaephrus felt his tensions ebb a little at the younger wolf's smile. Tail swaying a little now, he felt a bit more confident when he turned to the Beta, listening to her questions. Nodding, the brute spoke in a deep tone. "Yes ma'am, I understand. I feel my place is beside my brother, and with this pack." He finished, his ears angling backwards. Several stares burned into his fur, wh [18:45] * Zaephrus nervous. Trying his best to ignore the feelings, he focused on the Beta before him, and gave her a warm smile. "This place, what I've seen... it's truly beautiful, I do hope you'll accept me into your pack, Saoirse.." [18:46] * &Saoirse nodded, a smile once again taking place on her face as the brute confirmed that what he stated earlier was still what he wanted, "Then, Zaephrus, I name you an Assessment of Kladd`atir," she says, her tone jovial. "Congratulations," she murmurs, before lifting her muzzle to howl for the pack's newest assessment. She was happy for him and the brother he found here, and she hoped that his assessmentship was successful and that he would go on to become a full member of the pack. [18:46] * Aquilo tilted his head to let out a howl for his hew found friend. He had been the first to meet the sandy wolf and there friendship was growing fast. He let his deep voice ring out. [18:47] * %Maester tilted his head back adding his song to the mix. His low tones crying out their congratulations for his brother and his welcome into the pack. Maester hoped he would come to love it here as he does. [18:47] * %Xiodax would let his own voice mingle with the call of the pack, welcoming its newest assessment. [18:48] * %Hawke watch as the male spoke, ever-present grin settled across her maw, her tail swaying once or twice as they spoke. When his Assessmentship was granted, she would lift her muzzle to the heavens and allow her voice to chorus in the others, sending her own congratulations towards the male. [18:48] * Tanvi was surprised when she saw a wolf she hadn't met. She couldn't help but add her voice to the others for this new wolf. She was excited to see that pack grow yet again. [18:48] * %Aithusa felt a surge of happiness for Zaephrus, having just discussed this topic this morning. She would tilt her maw skyward to join her voices with the other, tail sweeping the ground lightly. [18:51] * &Saoirse shifted her gaze around the clearing once the howling died down, seeking a familiar ebony pelt. When she found it she would grin, lifting her chin slightly, "Aquilo, please step forward," she calls, keeping her tone even. This next part was her favorite; it was why she loved meetings as much as she did. [18:53] * Aquilo felt a tingle of nervousness when he name was called. The male got to his paws and gave Aithusa a quick nose before limping forward with his head high. [18:56] * %Xiodax 's dark ears pricked as his near-twin was called forward by the Beta. He sat up a little straighter and his molten gold gaze was filled with curiousity. [18:57] * %Aithusa perked with interest as Saoirse called upon the dark pelted male she had come to take a liking to. She would crane up on her toes in order to watch his burly frame approach the Beta, curiosity burning brightly within her mismatched hues. [18:57] * &Saoirse waited until he stepped forward before beginning to speak, "Aquilo, you have been an Assessment for awhile now, and we feel as if the time you have been here has been well spent getting to know our members. We would like to offer you a place within the pack as a member, if you can make the pledge to put Kladd`atir as your first priority, to protect, defend, and love the members here as if they are your own family," she states, before watching him closely to see what his answer might be. [18:59] * Zaephrus didn't expect them to howl for him. He felt joy mingle in his chest, and the brute trotted to his brother, his tail wagging crazily behind him. The welcoming howls gave him the shivers, filled him with a sense of belonging. When their croons halted, and the Beta had moved on to Aquilo, who just happened to be the first wolf Zaephrus had met from this pack. He sat next to Maester, leaning against his brother and watched the ceremony. [19:00] * Aquilo couldn't hold on to his excitement. His tail started to wag and he looked around at all the familiar faces. His eyes lastly fell back to Saoirse. "I've been a pack mate to kladdatir from the start. I would be more then happy to officially join the pack. Thank you" his deep voice rang edged with happiness and excitement. [19:02] * &Saoirse beamed when she heard Aquilo's answer, her tail giving an excited wag. She didn't know the brute very well, but that had talked on a few occasions and she considered them friends, sort of. "Well, then! Aquilo, I name you a member of Kladd`atir," she says, happily. "Congratulations, and welcome to the pack," she says, shifting to offer a friendly nose to the cheek before stepping back and lifting her muzzle. She released her song into the air, howling for the newest member of the pack. [19:02] * %Maester watched Aquilo be called forward to become a full member of the pack. He felt prideful of his friends acomplishment to be welcomed as a full fledged member. Humming softly he leaned back into Zaephrus, his tail thumping against the ground in a gentle tandom. When the howl began he let his head fall back to sing his praise to the newest full member of Kladd'atir. [19:03] * %Hawke grin as Saoirse spoke to Aquilo, pleased that the council had decided to extend membership towards the large dark pelted male. She figured she knew the answer, but would look towards him in anticipation anyway. As he spoke, she would smirk, glad to see it become official. Tail swishing, she would lift her muzzle and howl along in a celebratory fashion with the others. [19:03] * %Xiodax howls happily for Aquilo, his larger and younger lookalike. His dark tail swished back and forth happily. [19:04] * Zaephrus followed suit with Maester, and cranned his head back and let out a low croon, singing with the other wolves, to congratulate Aquilo of his new rank. [19:04] * Tanvi howled loudly for Aquilo. It was exciting to have a wolf so many had come to care about officially join the ranks. The yearling couldn't help but let her tail wave. [19:05] * Aquilo felt his heart swell as the howls rose up. He had the same feeling the day he became an assessment. His family was truly welcoming him in. He let his eyes fall on each of his pack mates. He couldn't be happier. [19:06] * %Aithusa couldn’t but gaze upon Aquilo happily, lifting her maw once again to the air to sing loudly for him. Her tail swished about a mile an hour, chest swelling with pride. [19:08] * &Saoirse waited until Aquilo had resumed his place before shifting her gaze to the next wolf. She smiled lightly before calling out, "Leilani, please step forward." Once the she-wolf was standing before her, she would continue speaking, "We would like to extend you the same offer; a place among our pack if you can also pledge to put Kladd`atir as your first priority, to protect, defend, and love the members here as if they are your own family," she finishes, her brow lifting slightly as she waited for the wolf's answer. She didn't know her very well personally, but she and the rest of the council had kept an eye on her, and knew that she had made progress with the other members, and that she seemed devoted to their pack. [19:08] * ~Leif` chitters to himself as he stuffs his cheaks with berries. [19:10] * Leilani perked, stepping forward. "I would be honored. This is my home, my family." Her eyes dogged to Hawke and she grinned. "I'd do whatever it took to protect and honor this pack, and serve the Council's needs." [19:12] * &Saoirse grinned when the she-wolf pledged herself to Kladd`atir, "Then, Leilani, you are officially a member of Kladd`atir," she speaks, "Congratulations and welcome," she states, before shifting to offer her the same friendly nose to the cheek that she had offered Aquilo. Once she pulled back she would lift her muzzle to howl for the fae, congratulating her with a song. [19:13] * %Maester tipped his head back to howl for Leilani as well, glad to see her joining them fully as well. [19:13] * Aquilo with a happy skip in his limp moved back to his place next to Aithusa. He was so giddy and relieved that the council had taken a chance with him. Aquilo wasn't going to let them down. His ambers watched as Leilani was called next. The male watched as the she wolf was given the same offer and accepted it gladly. The male let his muzzled raise again to howl [19:13] * Aquilo for his friend. Now the next thing he needed to do was speak to a council member on courting the pretty golden fae beside him. [19:13] * Zaephrus had spoken to Lelani before, and she genuinely seemed like a nice wolf. There was no doubt in his mind that she'd deserved it, even if he hadn't known these wolves very long. Regardless, the brute tilted his head back and let out a low croon, joining in the song of congratulations. [19:13] * %Xiodax would lift his dark muzzle once again to howl for another official pack member. His voice mingling with that of the pack's to welcome Leilani home to Kladdatir. [19:13] * Leilani grinned, "thank you." She'd quickly scoot back to Hawke's side. She'd never been one for having many eyes on her [19:14] * %Hawke would watch fondly as her cousin approached, glad to witness the same offer extended to her. She was happy to have another Amarante around, even if it was one she did not even know existed until her arrival among the pack. Lifting her muzzle, she howled along with the pack, welcoming the newest member. As Leilani returned to her side, she would nose her happily. [19:17] * &Saoirse immediately shifted her gaze to a large ebony wolf when the howling tapered off, "Xiodax, please come forward," she calls out. She waited for him to approach, watching him closely. Once he was in front of her, she would grin, "You have been a pack member for some time, and you have patiently waited for the Council to figure out the enigma that is Xiodax Kade so that we could offer you a rank to audition for. Well, the time has come, and we would like to offer you a chance to Audition for the rank of Hunter, if you accept the responsibility," she finishes. [19:18] * %Aithusa moved to nudge Aquilo warmly once he was seated beside her, planting a quick lick to his snout before turning her sights back towards Saoirse as she spoke up about Hawke’s cousin. She watched as the female was offered the same gesture and smiled as Leilani accepted. She would howl her congrats, tail still wagging. Lapsing into silence, the little female perked up once again as the [19:18] * %Aithusa meeting continued. [19:22] * %Xiodax would get to his paws when he was called forward, his dark ears flicking back and forth. His golden gaze held a hint of surprise within their depths. When Saoirse clearly stated that he had been patient while waiting for the Council to figure out the enigma that he presented, he could not help but chuckle softly. Then Saoirse presents him with a rank to audition for and he dips his head [19:22] * %Xiodax so that his muzzle brushes against his chest. "I would be honored to Audition to become a Kladdatir Hunter," he said humbly. It would be a great responsibility, but he would love to serve the Pack. [19:23] * &Saoirse beamed when he finished speaking, "Then we gladly grant you the opportunity, Xiodax, Auditioning Hunter of Kladd`atir," she says, "Congratulations, and welcome to the big leagues," she teases, lifting a paw to playfully swipe at his muzzle. Afterwards, she lifted her muzzle to howl for the massive brute, glad to see that he was finally finding his place within the pack. [19:23] * Leilani lifted her muzzle and howled for the auditioning hunter. [19:24] * %Hawke smiled as Xiodax was called upon, pleased to hear the male had finally decided upon a rank to pursue. She figured he would make a suitable Hunter, at that, and looked forward to seeing how that all worked out. As he was officially granted the chance to audition, she would wag her tail cheerfully, glancing upwards as she howled along with the others in congratulations. [19:24] * %Maester howled for Xiodax and his placement as an auditioning hunter. [19:29] * %Xiodax 's heart seemed to be in his throat. He moved forward to lick at the underside of Saoirse's muzzle, showing her due respect and his appreciation. He was big, tough, but he also held a soft spot for all of the Kladdatir wolves. "Thanks," he said with a smile, amused at her 'welcome to the big leagues' comment. Pride filled his heart; the pack had howled for him. It was a humbling [19:29] * %Xiodax experience. It would be a pleasure to serve the pack. He would make his way to the congregated pack members and sit upon his haunches amongst them. [19:30] * &Saoirse once again glanced around the gathered wolves once the howling had died down, settling on a familiar taupe pelt, "Hawke," she calls, unable to keep the excitement from her tone, "Come forward, please." She waited, watching as the fae picked her way towards the front, before grinning when she arrived, "Many moons ago you began Auditioning for the rank of Caretaker, and I have personally witnessed you successfully treat our ill and injured wolves - you've been an asset to the pack, and you've played an integral part in our health. We would be honored to call you a Caretaker of Kladd`atir, if you accept the rank." [19:35] * %Hawke would perk as her name was called upon, her eyes widening as she glanced up at Saoirse, her heart beginning to thunder in her chest. It had been quite a few meetings since was last welcomed to step forward, she had almost forgot how nerve-wracking it was with all those eyes on her. Regardless, she took a deep breath and padded forwards, grinning broadly as she made her way forwards, [19:35] * %Hawke coming to a stop in front of them all. As the Beta spoke to her, she would dip her muzzle in a soft nod, her golden hues glimmering with excitement as she moved to speak, "There is nothing that would please me more, than to be there in aid to my fellow packmates when they are ailing." She would glance to the crowd behind her a moment, before returning her attentions to Saoirse, "I was [19:35] * %Hawke born to be a Caretaker, and I more than greatfully accept that title, officially." She sighed, looking upwards, wondering if her grandmother was watching, and if she was proud to see her following in her paw steps. [19:36] * &Saoirse couldn't help the joyful laugh that fell from her muzzle when her friend accepted the rank, her tail waving madly behind her, "Then I name you Hawke, a Caretaker of Kladd`atir," she beams. She shifted to affectionately nuzzle the smaller wolf's scruff, before speaking again, "Congratulations, I am so very happy for you," she says, before lifting her muzzle to howl for her friend. [19:37] * %Nazareth returned from her nightly excursion in time to witness the promotion of two wolves. Her eyes were sparkling with joy as Saiorse, the pack's beta, announced Hawke caretaker of Kladdatir. For a moment the sable female closely resembled Vesa, which made her even more estatic for her. The two could pass for distant relatives. Upon Hawke's acceptance of the rank she lifted her head to emit [19:37] * %Maester threw his head back once again to howl, this time for Hawke. He was proud of the young female for this acomplishment in earning her full title as Caretaker he trusted she would do well. [19:37] * %Nazareth a howl, a congratulatory expression for the she-wolf she considered a friend. [19:38] * %Xiodax howled once again, his tail thumping against the ground. He was so happy for Hawke, and he was so proud of her accomplishments from when she first came to Kladdatir to now. She had grown in leaps and bounds. [19:40] * %Hawke 's happiness could not be contained, and her expression clearly demonstrated this. As she turned back towards the others, she flushed a little beneath her pelt, her ears flicking as the chorus sounded for her. "Thank you, everyone." She would nod gently, before returning to her position amongst the others. She took a deep breath as she sat, tail curling around her form, feeling as [19:40] * %Hawke though she was floating. She could hardly believe this day had finally come; it was real now. [19:45] * &Saoirse shifted her gaze from Hawke to the fae that had advanced through the pack at the same time as her friend, offering a smile, "Aithusa, please come forward," she calls out. She waited until she arrived in front of her before speaking, "Now, you have spent the past several moons growing and learning, you have jumped through every hoop that Rhuna has set for you and come back asking for more. The pack could not ask for a more dedicated Guardian; we see the effort that you put into protecting our pack, and the fierce love that you hold for the pack in your heart. So, we would like to name you an official Guardian of Kladd`atir, if that is your wish." [19:51] * %Aithusa howled her happiness for Hawke, hardly containing her excitement. It was only when her own name was called would she momentarily freeze – hardly believe her ears. Gulping, she squared her shoulders and weaved her way up to Saoirse. Once placed in front of the Beta, she would perk as the female spoke. She could withhold the grin like spread across her maw, nod happily. “It would [19:51] * %Aithusa be my honor. I couldn’t ask for a better pack to serve and protect. Not only are you just a pack, but family. I am truly blessed,” she moved to bow her head before blinking her one-eyes gaze up at Saoirse, tail swinging from side to side – batting at her flanks. [19:54] * &Saoirse beamed when the fae accepted her rank, "Then, I am proud to name you a Guardian of Kladd`atir, Aithusa," she says, "Congratulations," she says, before shifting to gently nose the fae's cheek - on the side that she could see, of course, "Give 'em hell," she says as she pulls away, before lifting her muzzle to howl for the pack's newest Guardian. She had watched Aithusa from the beginning, and was ecstatic to see her advancing through the ranks. [19:55] * %Nazareth analyzed Aithusa as she approached the pack's beta. Despite injury to her shoulder, she had managed well. Her journey to the Summer hollow was proof enough that the guardian rank was befitting of her. She chuckled as Aithusa's initial excitement devolved into something more honorable and respectful. Her tail wagged with enthusiasm, devoid of all doubt as the female uttered her vows to [19:55] * %Nazareth serve the pack well with her abilities. Indeed she was a blessed wolf, omitting the old injury dealt to her eye, she prevailed. Lifting her head she howled loudly, her tail thumping her haunches. [19:55] * %Hawke would perk as Aithusa was called upon, chuckling a little at how they seemed to excel in similar strides. She was glad to see her friend had also earned her promotion, knowing she more than deserved it, inhaling softly as she watched. When it was officially announced, she would yip excitedly, then move to howl in congratulations for the pack's newest Guardian. [19:56] * Zae-semi let his head cran back, and he let out a croon in turn, congratulating everyone as they were called on. He was growing to love this atmosphere. He hadn't felt this at peace since he was a pup. [19:57] * Leilani would lift her head and howl for Aithusa's promotion, her tail swaying. She didn't know the female well, but from what she'd seen, the fae was quite nice. She'd nuzzle against Hawke and whisper softly, "Congrats to you, Cousin," before settling herself again, tail thumping the ground excitedly. [20:08] * &Saoirse smiled as she watched Aithusa move back amongst the rest of the pack. Once she was settled she would speak to every wolf gathered, "Thank you all for attending and giving support to your fellow pack members, and congratulations to everybody that was promoted tonight. I know that I am speaking for the Council as a whole when I say that I am proud to call all of you my pack members - my family," she says, her tail swaying happily. After she finished speaking, she would lift her muzzle to howl one final time, signalling the end of the meeting.
