All You who are Weary and Heavy Laden

As always the golden boy was nearby, his adventures respectfully confined to pack lands. The howl was heard and promptly head snapped up and paws were moving his lithe form towards the sound before he even gave it a conscious thought. A pack meeting? How exciting... He had never really been a part of a pack meeting before, his mother had never formally held one in his time seeing as their pack consisted of family and two others who were always around. In Valhalla he had been around for a while but never for a pack meeting, it seemed that nothing was worth saying in his time there. So this was his first and he couldn't help but feel excited. Pace quickened to an easy lope as he turned towards the sound, though he already knew where he was going.

A slow smile slid over dark lips as he approached the area that Gerhardt had originally founded the pack. Head was lowered respectfully, a tail licking at his heels as he approached the king. "My lord." A simple and respectful greeting as head was dipped so nose touched the ground before the male. After a moment he backed up, careful not to bump into anyone before seating himself to listen. Eventually others came and finally Gerhardt spoke. He moved over topics easily and Cynrik's features were kept respectfully neutral though the whole speech. Though a slight wag of his tail was given at the comment of games with another pack. That sounded exceptionally fun. But Lady Addette had left them? And Mavrik was getting married? It would be a lovely wedding no doubt but still...

He looked to Loccien as she spoke, congratulating everyone and he smiled at her. Finally he looked back to their king and cleared his throat. "I would wish to speak with you more about the nature of these alliances if you would allow me that honor?" Cynrik asked easily, giving Gerhardt the ability to say no easily but he was honestly curious. Interpack relations had always been his passion and the nature of the alliances truly interested him. He wasn't interested in questioning Gerhardt's judgement, more just picking his brain.

Speech!
