[Summer meeting] Bones cracking

Ara usually tried to respond quickly to calls for the pack to gather, but this time she found herself further away than she'd anticipated. She and Athena were due to leave on their trip soon - hopefully, at least - and she was busy trying to gather a few herbs for the trip, as well as some to leave behind in her den for when she was gone. She truly doubted that any would be needed, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

She was quiet as she approached the gathering. Instantly she noticed not everyone was here. Blue eyes darted around the group, before fixing on Heather as the woman offered an apologetic nod. She didn't want to seem as though these meetings weren't important, not at all. After glancing around a final time and not seeing anyone she felt comfortable enough to sit next to, she settled down closer to the front of the gathering, quietly reclining to her haunches in wait.
