03[20:05] * Kazmarez padded into the center of the clearing having only recently awoken from an afternoon nap. His travels had been made int he early morning and so the peaceful slumber in the "warmth" of the day was a welcome rest to his body. But now with the meeting at paw, he was wide awake and expectant. Lifting his muzzle skyward, he'd let out a howl to gather those who were awake and present together for ...cut 09[20:05] contin... a meeting ...end 03[20:06] * Lei moved through the clearing and settled, laying down, as the alpha's call summoned the pack.. 03[20:07] * Tahir having spent his days now by the water source, he could just barely hear the sounds of a howl. It was that of a calling, and he drew his form up to his paws. It was a familiar calling, one he often recognized in his pack days. He began to draw forward toward the location of the howl then, keeping his form a bit low as his pace was filled with quick determination. 03[20:07] * Lei is now known as Leilani 03[20:07] * Aquilo had been situated near the lake admiring the scenery around him when a howl jolted him from his thoughts. A meeting was being called. Ears twitching he eased to his paws. Shaking out his coat the male made his way towards the gathering wolves. His eyes briefly searching for a certain mottled she wolf. 03[20:09] * Siku was laying down peacefully outside of his den, simply enjoying the calm day when a howl soon broke the silence. His head would rise as he easily recognized the howl to be one from the Alpha. Usually, this meant a meeting or a hunt. Either way, he was going to go find the gathering and make sure to be present for the upcoming event. It wasn't a very long walk from where he was and he 03[20:09] * Siku would take his place among the gathering group of wolves, patiently waiting. 03[20:13] * Aithusa broke the treeline, her head draw near the ground as she scented the still frozen earth. There had been little to no activity as of lately, though her patrols kept her busy and away from socializing with others. Not that she minded. A single howl broke the silence, her ears perking with interest as she abandoned her perch and headed in the direction of the gathering wolves. She had 03[20:13] * Aithusa little time to greet those already seated, seeking out her mate before locating his burly frame and quickly planting her rump down beside him. She nose Aquilo quickly in greeting before turning her one-eyed gaze towards Kaz. 03[20:19] * Kazmarez grinned to all the wolves gathered around him* "Thank you everywolf for coming or waking up for the meeting" *he said with a toothy smile thinking he'd just woken up for it* "Firstly, I want to announce that we will soon be moving to the summer hollow. I will announce the date of moving closer to when we move, but the hunters are making sure the herds have adaquately moved into the area ...cut 09[20:19] contin... before we go up there. As well as waiting until Vesa and Agro's pups are old enough to travel the distance" *he said turning his gaze to the nursery before back to the pack* "We only have one cerimony tonight, but it is no less important. Tahir, would you please step before the pack?" *he asked as he motioned toward the brute* ...end 03[20:22] * Hawke|Brb is now known as Hawke 03[20:24] * Tahir came upon the area, and quietly took a place in the back as he sat down. But as he began to sit, he paused and listened as Kazmarez spoke of his name. He drew his ears back, and pushed back up to his full height - favoring a dip to his frame as he slowly made his way to be slightly in the center of attention. He took a silent glance around, knowing every wolf here save for one. He felt 03[20:24] * Tahir a nervous tick itch at his ear, but he remained calm and breathed outward - now focused on the Alpha. 03[20:27] * Kazmarez gave a nod to Tahir* "Tahir, you have been among us for only a short time. yet you have offered your help in hunting and volunteering to help us track the herds. Two things we would ask of a member, yet you stepped up. I now hear that you would like to join the pack. Can you say before the pack gathered here that is true?" *he asked with a tilt of his head in a questioning pose* 03[20:29] * Hawke quickly propelled herself along the forest edge, hastily making her way towards the main gathering area. Anxiety flooded her as she knew she was running late, one of the worst feelings she could have right now. Quickening her pace, before long she was met with the small gathering of her fellow pack members. Silently taking a seat next to Siku, she took a moment to smile cheerfully at 03[20:29] * Hawke him, before turning her attention back towards Kazmarez as the Alpha addressed the newcomer, Tahir, she had the pleasure of meeting a pawful of moons ago. Perking her rounded with intrigue, she grinned broadly at the prospect of the male joining their pack. 03[20:31] * Tahir cleared his throat, now inhaling deeply as he listened to Kazmarez's words. He shifted his gaze toward those gathered then, and would exhale before speaking. 14"Yes, it's been over half a year since I have been without family and friend alike.. I happened upon these lands a short time ago, but have sincerely felt a strong attachment here. It is my desire to join you all, and to accept 03[20:31] * Tahir 14any responsibilities that come with it" 6he stated, voice low at first before it became a bit louder to fight back his nervousness. 03[20:34] * Kazmarez grinned to the response and gave an assuring nod of his head* "And I have heard your story and know enough of your background and actions to vouch for you being genuine. With your agreement, you will then step into the first phase on your way to membership with the pack. During your assessment, you will learn more about the pack, we will learn more about who you are, and hopefully you will ...cut 09[20:34] contin... find your place among us. Tonight, I have the pleasure to name you, Tahir an Assessment of Kladd`atir" *the alpha then lifted his muzzle skyward in celebration* ...end 03[20:34] * Aithusa watched as a strange, pale figure hoisted himself from the ground and approached the Alpha--her head tilting as this was the first time she was seeing the newcomer. Perhaps her duties were pulling her away from home more often than they should. Huffing, she sat quietly listening as Kaz welcomed the male named Tahir into the pack. The mottled female took a moment to assess the pledge 03[20:34] * Aithusa before she parted her maw to howl his welcoming song, tail tiptapping the ground softly behind her. The pack was growing, and this made her happy. 03[20:34] * Aquilo tilted his head back for his new found friend. Letting out a howl to congratulate him on his first step to joining the pack. 03[20:36] * Tahir waved his tail behind him like it had been caught in the wind, the words spoken from the Alpha Male beamed joy and pride throughout him. He dipped his head in silent gratitude to the acceptance of his first phase in becoming a member, and would soon offer his own song to the melody of the pack. He was restarting his life over again, basically.. And he was willing to do that, to re-grow, 03[20:36] * Tahir and forge lasting bonds. 03[20:37] * Hawke grinned with excitement, thrusting her muzzle skywards as she allowed a celebratory howl to escape for the male wolf as he was granted permission to Assess. From what she knew of him, she figured he would fit in perfectly around here. Her tail beat steadily against the ground below her, pleased to see her family continuing to expand. 03[20:39] * Kazmarez is now known as Kaz|BBIAB [20:39] -opme 03[20:39] * Leif` sets mode: +v Tahir 03[20:42] * Aithusa is now known as Aith|brb 06[20:42] * Leilani (Leilani@Test-94CF621.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) 03[20:43] * Leilani (Leilani@2EA00430.50F0A4F6.F35C5829.IP) has joined #Hollow 03[20:43] * Aith|brb is now known as Aithusa [20:43] 3|| 14Leilani Amarante 3||10 Health:14 99 3||10 Rank:14 Reserve 3||10 Gender:14 Female 3||10 Unpaired 3||10 Ailments: 14None 3|| 03[20:43] * Leif` sets mode: +h Leilani 03[20:44] * Lei (Leilani@Test-94CF621.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Hollow 03[20:44] * Aquilo watched as the short meeting came to a close and Kazmarez excused himself. Hopping to his paws the male let out a small howl that was loud enough for all to hear. Limping quickly to face the wolves he called out. "Anyone who wants to join a hunt stay close!" He grinned his talent wagging back and forth excitedly. A hunt was needed now that the cache was 03[20:44] * Aquilo empty.
