Let's Start A Riot! [Raid meeting]

Fern had been sitting in the back, listening quietly, when a few wolves erupted. One male, seeming to be family to Dragon by his scent, burst out and scolded the alpha. Fern rose to her feet during the middle of his little speech, barely hiding the snarl that transformed her features. Family or not, no pack wolf should ever scold their own alpha. This male had quite a few lessons to learn, and she'd be more than happy to teach him. Fern raised her head and looked Dragon in the eye, silently asking what he was going to do. Sure Fern was a new member, but that did not mean her alliegiance was any less pledged. She belonged to Talis, was no more than a tool for her leader to wield. This was all shown in her blazing gold eyes. She wanted to hurt this wolf. He should be punished for being as rude as he was.
Subconsciously, Fern ranked the male below her. She had near zero respect for him.
Every movement of the wolf's jaw set her fur on end, and when he finished, Fer opened her mouth, ready to fire back, when a low growl caught her attention. A dark wolf with crushing blue eyes began to speak.
Every word out of his maw was fire. He was a being of energy and flame and in this instance, hatred.
Fern relished in it.
Every point he made, she felt her entire being agree. She wanted this raid, not just for the joy it gave her, but for Talis' well being. She felt a grin spread across her face, replacing the snarl that had twisted her featured moments before. She sat back down, and met dragon's green eyes once more, showing her agreement and approval. Bowing to either wolf's will would be a sign of weakness, she knew that, so he'd have to find a way to compromise.
When the dark wolf was done speaking, Fern nearly applauded. She opened her mouth again, about to speak, when a crimson wolf-- Faine?-- beat her to it. In all honesty, Fern thought her speech was a tad dull, but she did think that the hostile pack would be the best choice, as Faine did.
Ah yes, finally it was her turn.
Fern stood, hoping the motion would draw attention to her in the back.
"I agree wholly and completely with the past two wolves who have spoken. First off, you there," at this she indicated the insolent male, "should never speak to a higher-up that way. Alphas should never be disrespected by those below them, nor should they stand for it." She looked at Dragon. "And I agree with you," a tail gesture to Dark Wolf, "that we definitely should continue our plans with the raid. The hostile pack seems like the easiest one to raid, as they haven't shown any power or unity. They may have good fighters, but will they be able to work together as a pack? A unit? They haven't shown us any proof they will. The other pack was able to bring a patrol to the border at the scent of a stranger near it. Not a single youngling, but a whole patrol. I'm getting the sense they were very professional about it as well. They may be a tough opponent.
"If I may, I also have some suggestions on how we should go about the raid. I say bring many of our pack, leaving only a few behind to watch for a counterattack. Most wolves will be fighters, but perhaps some, such as myself, who are out of shape, can be something else. Perhaps we can sneak down into their dens after the fighters draw them out, grab what we can, and leave. There could be a deposit spot a mile or so away, out of range of detection, where we set everything down. A guard could be there, ready to howl if the opponent finds it. The thieves would then return to the enemy's territory and basically repeat the process."
Fern finished with a swish of her tail, eyes gleaming with intelligence. It was a genius plan, she thought. Now to see what the others would say.
OOC// Is this strategy allowed in raids? I read the raid section and the fighting guide and it didn't really specify, but I figured it was worth a shot to post.
Okay it did actually specify, but agh I've already posted so I'll just roll with what I said.
