Confound it all! He'd been far away when he heard his brothers call, well beyond the pack boundaries. He'd been trying to find herbs that were still alive since all the ones nearby seemed to wilt away from the heat, but wasn't having much luck. He managed to find some shriveled up Boneset, but he wasn't sure how effective it would be now. He was beginning to think it was well past its useful stage considering how hot and dry it was, but he'd find out later. Right now, he had to get to the meeting and fast! He darted past the pack boundaries, racing to the castle grounds as quickly as he could. His chest heaved, the male panting as he hurried to get there before they started without him.
Once he arrived, he saw his mother and a few others, though was disappointed to see that not everyone from last time had shown up. Were they purposefully trying to avoid this meeting because of the raid? What would his brother think? He suddenly felt uneasy at what might happen to those who didn't show, but for now he dipped his head to his brother and everyone he passed, vocally greeting them wasn't an option with his mouth full of dried and dirtied herbs. He found a seat nearby, tail curling around his paws as he sat and waited for the others to arrive.
