Sugar & Spice
The meeting was over, and as soon as she made sure all was clear, she left her perch and motioned for her sons to follow. Dragon had been sent to fetch Kharnage after the boy had walked away without so much as a word, and to be honest, the irritability and bad moods of her sons was beginning to rub off on her. She needed them to know that she was not angry with them unless they were deliberately trying to do it, and she just wanted to include them in the goings on and the way the pack would be run. They had ideas, surely, and she wanted to hear them. Gryphon was sick, so he'd be sitting this one out. But the other three? They had no excuse to not do the things she asked unless they simply didn't care anymore. And if they didn't, then it would begin to show her whose side they really took after.
She sat at the base of a pine away from where the meeting had been, lips curling at the thought of her first mate. He had betrayed her, and lately, too much had begun to remind her of it when she had been doing so well in forgetting. So much had come to light at once, the talks with Bass and Valentine and Lykos. But she would not make mention of that just yet. No, she needed more to go off of before taking action. So for now, she'd focus on the pack as a whole. And there were things that needed discussing, things like recruiting, the room to accommodate new members, especially since Esarosa had asked permission to start a family which she had not denied. Testing loyalties and abilities, pack relations and more. How her sons responded today would determine most of that. |
