what needs to be (MEETING)

Thalia wasn't quite sure what to expect from Pyrrhic's call but she hoped it was something that might give her an answer to the uncertain question: what was the Empire doing? It was hard to decide properly what she herself needed to focus on when she wasn't entirely sure where the rest of the pack was, mentally-speaking. They'd been lingering near the Runestones but judging by the relatively scarce scents of her packmates, she found herself wondered just who was left, out of everyone. She knew her siblings were gone, but who else had abandoned them? An angry scowl touched her lips at the thought - once their abandonment had saddened her but over time it was hard to look at their departures with much more than irritation. Her parents had a good enough reason, she supposed, but Dion and Saren had left her with nothing at all.

Today would surely prove who was still loyal to their God, and to their family. She only hesitated for a short while before heading toward Pyrrhic's call, gathering her composure and heading to the small gathering. And it was much smaller than she'd hoped, at least so far. Thalia straightened her spine before continuing forward, loping to sit somewhere near the others and making a conscience effort to keep her expression guarded, despite her inward frustration. Someone needed to step up if Pyrrhic wasn't doing anything - had he even wanted to lead in the first place? - but she knew she wasn't suited for it, but she hoped desperately someone had an answer to ease her anxious mind.
