Step Up Or Get Out [Pack Meeting]

This meeting was not a particularly cheerful one. Regulus was unhappy with several pack members for being scarce or generally lazy, and Solveiga had to remind herself that she hadn't done anything wrong, even as those sapphire eyes moved sternly over every wolf gathered there. He was just being fair, giving a warning to everyone. But the darkest warnings went out to those who weren't in attendance at all, namely Varda, Crucible, and Báine. The cream colored woman couldn't help frowning a little at the mention of her friend. Next, there were a few announcements. Surreal, the mother of Regulus and all of his siblings, had fallen ill. Solveiga frowned more deeply, her brow creasing in concern. Maybe she should speak to Kavdaya soon about being of help to the woman. Even if there was no cure for whatever was ailing her, herbs and things could still help to ease any discomfort in her final days. Surreal deserved that.

Following that announcement, Regulus told everyone that Zuriel would be leaving. She wished to explore and expand her knowledge, and Solveiga completely understood those desires. But right now, she was happy to be in one place. She had explored enough in the past year, herself. Then, a promotion. Creed would be retiring from his position of Right Wing, and Faite would be taking his place. Solveiga then listened closely to the wave of information that followed, about ranks and customs and the like. She tried to absorb it all as best she could, smiling almost shyly at the mention of weddings and then feeling a pang of sympathy at the mention of burials. As Regulus spoke, she could see the look in his eyes. He feared that he would have to perform that particular ceremony sooner rather than later, and Solveiga feared the same.
