Truthfully, Ara didn't expect much to come of this meeting. Not in regards to herself, that was. Things had been peaceful and quiet, or so it seemed, though there was always news of wolves coming and going. She watched with a thoughtful gaze as the few wolves that hadn't joined slowly trickled in, a lovely woman with dappled grey fur, the Adravendi matriarch, Jackson and finally Bluemoon. Some were still missing, she noted, but Leo continued the meeting anyway. Perhaps he knew of their absences, or simply figured they weren't showing up now.
It wasn't surprising to hear that Heather was continuing her training to become Fiori's leader. In the little time she'd spent with her, she seemed a lovely woman and capable of learning to rule fairly but firmly. She had no qualms with the direction the pack was headed. The rest of the news was a bit more surprising - Razor had passed, and someone had trespassed. More patrols were necessary. Now that was something she could do, in all her wanderings. Ara nodded mutely in response, her expression unwavering.
Only a brief glimmer of surprise touched her soft features when Leo announced Athena was stepping down, though she didn't blame her. Her gaze followed Lionel, too, as he rushed in to announce he had caught scent of another loner at their borders. Huh.. how strange. The corners of her lips turned down in a small smile as she pondered the situation, though she had no idea who it might be, or why.
