The strength of the pack

Only half listening as Rhea and Corvus talked quietly, Cael was all to eager to listen to Shaye as the meeting got underway, and she wasn't disappointed by the content of the meeting that unfolded. They were overdue for some promotions, and Caelestis beamed her congratulations to her friends, as well as accepting the gentle nudge from Corvus when she received her own promotion. Aweesome! This was so cool, she was like, the only actual, full-fledged navigator now. It took all her self-control not to look just a pinch smug at this realization.

Shaye continued, saying that she was looking for someone to be a Firethorn alongside Acere. Well, well well. Things got even more interesting when Peggy stepped forward. Ambitious! Which got Caelestis thinking... worth a shot, right? Stepping forward, she lifted her head and spoke up with a grin, "I'm going for Firethorn too." A rather confident statement, but she didn't bother to qualify it with any further justification. She was wanting to try and go for a higher rank anyway, so when she discussed it with Shaye, she'd just see if they could work out a rank up if this didn't pan out. Either way, Caelestis just felt particularly ambitious today and nothing was going to be lost by trying, so why not?
