There’s A Devil In The Church {Meeting}

He waited, though with all due respect he wasn’t waiting long. Even Desdemona did her best to make a timely appearance with her handicap, and for that Ganta was grateful. Yale had arrived first and Ganta gave the man an apologetic look; had it not been for the situation at hand this would have been the first meeting where the other’s preachings would have come into play. Seeing Roza filled his heart with guilt… as did seeing Ulric. He knew both would be worried about Philomena… and he attempted to give a comforting look to his mate. His gaze would finally settle on Jynette, figuring that answering her question would be the best way to alert the pack of what had gone on.

“I… am afraid that something has indeed happened, Jynette.” Ganta swallowed hard, trying to keep his composure. “Roza’s child, my daughter, has been taken away from pack lands by a rogue. Their scent was covered by the mud of the plains… but… I know without a doubt who this rogue was. It’s Rikeros, my half brother… A scarred off-white male with a single golden eye. If any of you are to spot him either avoid him and report to one of the higher ups or do what you deem necessary.” Ganta felt his stomach clench.

“This is hardly the sort of meeting I wanted to call for you all, and I’m sorry…” Ganta shifted uneasily. “But my brother is not a good wolf. Most of my siblings are cruel and bloodthirsty. I hope you understand that is mandatory I go out looking for Philomena.” He glanced towards Roza. “Roza will be in charge of you while I’m gone. Respect her as you would me. Inverno…” His gaze shifted to the other man. “I would like to ask you remain in the south if you look for Philly. I need you close to the pack in case someone comes along and tries anything. If need be, call for Fiorians. They are friends… they’ll help us.”

Ganta then looked to Yale. “...and also like to ask that, while it may not be in group setting yet that each of you meet with Yale. I feel that he has some valuable word to spread about his faith that might be able to keep our spirits strong during this time of worry.” There, a sign he hadn’t forgotten his pledge to the other. “Also… I want all of you to be on the lookout for Desdemona’s boy. He too is missing… and though a bit older than Philly I fear he too might have become a captive of a rogue.” At last his eyes turned back towards the fox.

“If I may, Jynette, I’d like to ask that you prepare some herbs to help with nerves and anxiety.” He hoped he didn’t have to explain to everyone that they’d be for Roza. “...and have some herbs stocked for treating wounds at the ready. I doubt if I find Rikeros that it won’t be a bloody confrontation.” It was at this his ghostly eyes narrowed, glancing to each wolf {and fox} in turn. “These are the assignments I ask of you all… Are there any questions or concerns before I leave?”
