Fall Into Me {Pack Meeting}

*Harmony* · 04-05-2016, 07:44 AM

The cool, damp weather was playing merry hell with her joints, not only making it more difficult to go out and collect the last of the herbs she could before winter hit, it was also making it very difficult to sleep at all and exacerbating the problem. She was curled up in her den having dosed herself with poppy in an attempt to catch up on her sleep a bit, the pain a dull ache in her joints even as she dozed beneath the somnolent of the opiate, when Bass' call to the pack pulled her back into wakefulness. Automatically she was pulling herself out of the den even before she was fully aware of the sound, her slim legs steady enough as she made her way along the familiar path to Bass' favorite meeting spot.

Even through the slight fog sleep and poppy seeds had drawn over her mind she was aware of the tension swirling around the group, harsh words snapping over the plain to reach her as she approached. Finch, surprisingly, and Sparrow, and Bass' friend Vali. She blinked in an attempt to banish the cobwebs and concentrate. The drama this time seemed centered around Wren, of all people, lurking in the back of the group. Harmony hadn't seen Bass' mate since she'd given birth to Sandpiper and Merlin, so it was a surprise to see her here now, let alone being castigated by the children she bore.

"Bass called us together for a reason," she said mildly to the pack as a whole, seating herself neatly with her tail tucked around her paws. "Perhaps we should leave private disputes for later and allow our alpha to conduct a meeting without disruption?" She felt sorry for the children who were upset by this, she really did. At least a couple of them seemed to feel abandoned by their mother's constant wandering, and who knew how Bass himself felt about it. He hadn't confided in her about it, anyway. But a public meeting was certainly no place to go about airing one's dirty laundry, and it was by no means fair to the rest of the pack to be made uncomfortable by it when they had no choice but to be there.
