Absent wolves: Pip (Nyx), Diana (Millie), and Valefor (Dragon). Pip, Diana, and Valefor will be demoted to commoner unless they are posted in the second round. He didn't have to wait long before his grey daughter appeared to join him. He gave her a big grin when she greeted him happily, saying, "Good morning, dear!" It made him happy to see her so cheerful. He looked over to Quelt as he walked into the clearing, returning the scarred man's nod with a smile. He watched Athena come in next along with one of her daughters, soon followed by his own pale daughter. He gave Roza a smile, but it was easy to see that she wasn't feeling so great. He gave her a sympathetic look and made a note to send her to Amalia... Assuming Amalia came back from her trip soon. By the time he looked back at Athena, Tiburtius had appeared next to her and Jayne. It was good to see so many members of the pack arriving so quickly. His brows lifted with surprise when he saw Ara walk into the meeting. He hadn't seen her in quite some time... "Ara, would you come talk to me after I'm done with the meeting, please?" he asked, loud enough for her to hear, but not as loud as he would to address the whole pack. He was glad to see her, but he still needed to talk with her all the same. With that addressed he looked around to see who had come in the time that he was talking to Ara. He spotted Bright Moon sitting with Quelt and he eyed them with playful curiosity. What was going on there? He chuckled softly under his breath and left it alone for now. He liked how meetings were like a snapshot into the life of the pack. Alfred appeared next, just as full of spirit as Heather had been. He grinned again, his tail wagging lightly behind him while he watched his children proudly. Moments later Lionel joined them, completing the litter. They really were his inspiration to keep this all going. He looked around at the pack that had gathered so far and only saw a handful of wolves still missing. Vitus had appeared and he glanced over to see his companion speaking with Athena and he watched them curiously for a moment before turning to see his sister and Razor walking toward the meeting. His brows raised with shock, a bright smile soon following. He grinned happily at Razor as he came over to greet him and explain where he had been. "Well, I'm certainly glad that you're both home! I've been worried about you both. Go ahead and sit down, we can talk more later." Ashelia was the last to join them, settling herself away from the rest of the group. He frowned as he watched her for a brief moment, glancing around as he looked for her son. He was no where to be seen though, as well as his own mother and Athena and Amalia's other daughter. He was fairly pleased with the turnout. Only three missing from the whole pack, plus one he hadn't expected to be here... it certainly wasn't the worst turnout he's ever had. He was a bit disappointed though - especially in his mother. He blamed himself a bit for telling her not to worry about forcing herself to be involved, but after all she had said about wanting to be more involved... He sighed and brushed it off, focusing instead on the wolves that were here. He cleared his throat before he started speaking giving everyone around him a bright smile. "Welcome, everyone! Thank you for coming so promptly. I guess first things first, we should welcome back Amalia and Razor! I'm glad to have you both home. I urge all of you to keep an eye out for each other. I can't keep up with all of you myself, as much as I would like to. I hadn't realized Razor was missing until he had already been gone several days. If you notice someone hasn't been around, please come let me know so I can look into it further. I care for each of your safety deeply and want to make sure you are all alright. On that same note, please give me some heads up if you are planning on going on a lengthy trip of any kind. I don't mind you leaving briefly, but I do want to know so I'm not worried about your absence." He had never intended for his pack to be a prison and he wasn't going to start now. "Now then, on to some more important pack business. After talking with Lionel, I've decided to remove the rank of Marquis. While my children are precious to me, all children in the pack are equally as precious. I hope that my kids take this as an incentive to work hard and really earn their rank in this pack. For now they will join the other yearlings in the Student rank." He looked over had the quartet of young wolves that was his children as he said this, wondering how the other three would take it. He knew Lionel would be pleased, but he wasn't sure about the others. After what Lionel said though he thought this was the best choice. Giving them a small smile he turned his attention back to the rest of the pack, letting his gaze roam over each of them. "Speaking of students... I want to give Bright Moon some recognition for being the only one to call any kind of lesson since the last meeting. Even though very few wolves came, she gave a intriguing lesson on hunting accuracy. So, thank you for your hard work, Bright Moon. I sincerely appreciate it." He offered the woman a bright smile before he went on. "We should be holding a lesson for each concentration in the pack at least every other semester. It's the job of the lead healer, fighter, and hunter to do so, but if you would like to call a hunt or lesson of some kind I encourage you to do so. Our Students deserve to learn everything we have to teach them." He gave his sister and sister-in-law a pointed glance, but he didn't want to berate them too much. "I believe that's the biggest pieces of pack discussion I had. I do want you all to keep yourselves hydrated and stay out of the heat when you can. It's been especially hot and the water is lower than it normally is, so just stay aware of that. Thank you for coming, everyone. Please feel free to find me after the meeting if you need to talk to me." |
