--BUGLES AND HORNS--

jupiter chuckled at luana's excited reel of questions, completely able to relate to her ecstatic mannerisms. "a few hours, luana, m'dear! and if they are as kind as their king, we have forged a very close alliance indeed." she glanced over as she moved, beaming at the orbita. indeed, the lass was growing into a fine young wolf, and would undoubtedly be an invaluable member of the pack. jupiter would have to inquire as to whether or not she had found interest in a specialty of the pack. recently the fae had been pondering a new system of ranks, and would probably put them into effect soon. for the slightest of moments she shared thoughts unknowingly similar to frino's, though her shame quickly vanquished such musings. jupiter would probably always think of luana as very young when it came to her own personal thoughts, which would keep her from ever considering the wolf in a romantic manner, but professionally... well, she was absolutely certain that the girl would prove herself time and time again.




pride swelled in her heart in endless waves as she thought of the honorable individuals that strode behind her as a group. only four walked in her pawsteps, but what ludicael lacked in numbers, it made up for in heart. there was a notable absence in a single female individual, and it took great willpower to stifle the powerful sensation that welled in her abdomen at the memory of their last encounter. she shook that train of thought off of its track by setting her gaze upon gerhardt, a smile pulling the corners of her lips further upward as she was greeted by several of seracia's members. jupiter took inventory of those who arrived, interested in learning their identities. this was a social event, after all, wasn't it?



"it is a pleasure to meet you all," she projected, ears pressed forward as she nodded to each that personally greeted her by name. the sol took in the identities around her--maverick, the seracian prince; segolia, a familiar face; loccian, a lead healer; gerhardt, whom of which needed zero description; octavian, another new set of features; and another lass that spoke only to maverick. "if your king does not mind, i will request that we all become well-acquainted before beginning the games." she flicked her gaze to gerhardt, as if requesting such a permission. she wished to at least catch up on things with the lead before plunging themselves into the work of management and competition.
