Let's Start A Riot! [Raid meeting]

Ramsay noticed when his brother arrived, and watched with some disappointment as Greed seated himself amongst the others, ignoring him entirely. Then again, he shouldn't be surprised. There was still tension between them, and it was going to take a lot to break it. Black-rimmed ears flicked forward as he moved his gaze over to the Alpha, only glancing around occasionally to watch as the rest of the pack poured into the meeting. At last, things began, and the scouts that had been sent after the last meeting spoke up about their experiences. Ramsay perked with interest, hearing promise in both packs. He wondered which pack they would attack and steal from. Either way, it didn't really matter to him - he was just excited to work his muscles while digging his claws and fangs into the flesh of his enemies.

Suddenly there was a disruption as Dragon's own brother spoke up with a very, very strong opinion, which flew in the face of the Alpha's orders, not to mention the desires of the rest of the pack. He clenched his teeth, muscles tensing and hackles rising as he listened to Gryphon, lips pulling back in a snarl. Was he actually trying to stop Talis from going through with this raid? "If you want to stay home and hide, feel free, coward!" Ramsay threw his voice out amongst the chaos, not knowing if he would be heard, "The rest of us will go fight for the things we need!" The pack wouldn't have considered this raid if they didn't want to do it; they recognized the need for supplies that they were really running low on, and many craved to test their strength against another pack. Had Gryphon spent all of his time inside the borders, blind to the outside? The lands beyond their home had dried up, and the relentless heat had allowed fires to grow far out of control, consuming forests and valuable land where they might have otherwise found herbs or water. Even in areas that hadn't been destroyed by fire, it wasn't safe to travel to if one didn't know their way around well - if one were to become lost in unfamiliar territory, they may find themselves too close to fast-moving fire.

As the arguing was momentarily halted, and Dragon continued on with his plans, Ramsay rose to his paws, feeling more connected with the wolves around him now that they would go through with this raid, squashing the words and opinions of the naysayers. They were not a bunch of slackers and softies just sitting around waiting for things to fall into their lap. They would take what they needed, and they would make their presence known. "I'm going!" he barked, not wanting to be left out of the action. He wasn't going to let anything stop him.
