Let's Start A Riot! [Raid meeting]
Others chimed in to speak, willing to go on this mission. Before he could acknowledge anyone else, Gryphon spoke again and Dragon simply looked at him with a hardened gaze. "If we come out empty handed then so be it. At least we tried." He'd say simply. Why was his brother so adamant about making him look like he was in the wrong for making decisions with the pack? He had asked them the last meeting, and he wasn't forcing them. Was that all that Gryphon saw? Did he only see what he did when Dragon had been in the presence of Lykos? Sure, he had pride. But he wasn't stupid. The pack was willing to try this, maybe not all of them, but that was okay. He watched the exchange between his two brothers before Gryphon took off, and suddenly this whole spat between he and his brothers was starting to leave a bad taste in his mouth. He hated the distance between them all, but...he had no clue how to fix it and was too proud to ask. Who would he seek help from, anyway? His mother? Lykos and Gryphon already thought her choices were just as wrong as his were, and she had tried so hard to give them a good life...he was sick of it all.
This raid would be something he could vent. Otherwise he'd end up snapping. As others said their piece and their willingness to go, he looked at them all. There were so many, but he'd make it work some how. Before he spoke again, Valdis came crashing into the meeting. He wasn't going to be mad at her, she had recently joined and had probably gotten lost in the castle or something which in turn, made her late. He chuckled at her hasty introduction. "Glad you could join us, Valdis." He looked out over the crowd, "Valdis is indeed, Talis' only Crusader. She'll be leading the raiding party with me, so those who will be in the first party will follow her lead as well."
He fell silent for a moment, assessing each and every member that had expressed their wanting to go. Since there were so many, he'd have to choose who would stay home. "I know there's a lot of you who wish to join in the fighting, but...some of you will have to stay home. I'm sorry." Clearing his throat he added, "Faine, Esarosa, Arke...you three can lead the second party. I know there's not much, but take what supplies you can and be ready to treat the wounded, if any, and wait in a nearby territory. Sorry Esa, I think you should be with the healers for now, they need an experienced leader to guide them." He winked at her, and knew that the second party were in good paws. He hated that he had to disappoint her, but they had more than enough fighters willing to go, and he wanted to give the apprentices a chance.
"Alright, I think that's it..." He took a deep breath, feeling his heart race with excitement and nervousness and a whole bunch of other things. "Be ready guys, summon those chosen to go when the time comes. You're all dismissed."

Dragon never goes anywhere without his Dragon armor, assume he is always wearing it unless otherwise mentioned! He also has a pair of seeing eye jaguars, assume they're always present unless otherwise mentioned.
