The strength of the pack

"Talk" Walk

The rest of the pack showed up, but Ignis hardly paid any mind to them. The most he did was stare blankly at the faces, most of which he didn't recognize. When his gaze found Corvus sitting with who he assumed was some of his family, he caught the smile that his friend sent his way. Ignis returned it, forcing the smile to seem genuine as opposed to forced, even tacking on a small wag of his tail at the gesture before they each returned their attention to the meeting as it started. Shaye started off by promoting a bunch of wolves. He tried to put names to faces, but to be honest, his mind wasn't all there to be able to pay attention enough. It wasn't until his sister nudged him that he looked up again, realizing that Shaye had promoted him and his sister along with the other apprentices. Huh...he hadn't expected that. He had been working hard, but he really didn't expect to be promoted until later on. A smile slowly started to spread as he wagged his tail.

She went on to say that higher positions were available. Ranks like Firethorn, which meant the ability to work alongside his uncle. He glanced at his uncle and thought about it for a moment, then returned his attention to Shaye. "I'd like to try out, too!" Maybe this was what he needed to distract himself. Of course, he was also just kinda doing it to see if he even could. Sure he was young as heck, but he was ambitious. Why not give the others a run for their money?
