Excitement tingled in her paws as she swished her tail in anticipation. A few more wolves trickled in before the meeting began, and her bicoloured gaze met the silver-furred leader. Ah, so this was Surreal, and by what she could infer, she seemed like a pleasant woman. She couldn't recall seeing her; perhaps she was an older friend of her parents? Her son, however, who sat next to her, she definitely remembered. That rich red coat, yes, she remembered seeing him converse with her brother at Threar's festival. And now that she thought about it, she actually had seen Surreal at that event, though it was the faintest and foggiest of memories.
No wonder her friend had taken such a liking to this pack - Celestial. Its alignment, motives, goals, laws...they resembled Threar's and so she agreed with them. She could understand why certain requirements were enforced, such as all members learning fighting skills and the basics of healing. Education and teamwork seemed to be key focuses for the pack, and that was a bonus. It was like another Threar. Yes, she could see this empire becoming her home.
After Surreal's son had spoken, who would take over the pack after his mother retired, it was time for the crowd to announce their preferred rank. She returned the glance to the male beside her, listening to the other wolves call out a position. No hunters...interesting. Perhaps she would be promoted to the lead hunter sooner than expected. When her friend had announced his legionary rank, she would raise her voice. "I would like to be a hunter," she eloquently called out with confidence in her chest, eyes meeting those of the leader's.
