[PACK MEETING] It's time.

It was with some trepidation that Kassander had returned to Abaven's borders. He had told the stranger who was acting alpha then that he had needed time to think about it, and he had. He had continued lurking - moping, really - in his cave from Crew's days, but the worsening conditions in the mountains made him admit that it was well past time for him to leave. He simply couldn't keep surviving as a lone wolf there. Chaos did well enough, but the former alpha had two enormous owls helping him and he was well large enough to hunt some medium prey alone. Kassander was not.

So, taking Romney and Remy with him but leaving behind his herb stores and crafting items for now (as it would clearly take many trips to move all that he had accumulated), he had made the short journey again to Abaven's borders. To his surprise and consternation he arrived just in time to catch a howl gathering the pack together. Not just the pack - it seemed to be an open invitation.

He still hesitated, but Rommel nudged his shoulder and said gravely, "If she is choosing to invite us, it's no crime to enter a park's land. Come, do not be so worried. This is what you came here for."

Kass sighed, but smiled crooked lyrics down at his friend and constant companion before steeling himself to trot into the pack's territory.

He followed the origin of the call to a boulder upon which sat a brown and white female a few years younger than his own age. This must have been the woman Vali had spoken of, Bass' daughter. He paused a distance away, then lurked his way to the very edge of the group. Not part of it, but close enough not to seem apart from it and so stand out either. He shuffled his paws nervously.
