When the Hammer Falls

"Speech"

Tsunami listened intently as her uncle spoke, taking a moment to look at each of her young cousins as he named them off and trying to commit their names and faces to memory. Acere went on to talk about the lack of proper training within the pack and Tsunami couldn't help but feel a bit of bitterness rising up in her. It was her uncle's own wife who hadn't even tried to reach out to her, she'd been forced to take her training into her own paws. And yeah sure her mentor had gotten pregnant but Tsunami would have appreciated any sign she was even interested in taking it seriously.

She perked slightly at the mention of a raid. She waited patiently for her uncle to finish speaking and then allowed the others to speak. Some of them seemed concerned about the raid on Abaven, and while she didn't exactly harbor ill will towards the pack that had housed her as a pup she also couldn't really summon the concern the others seemed to have. If they were under orders not to do more than they absolutely had to, to fight to get the resources but not to harm then unnecessarily, even in retaliation she couldn't help but feel that was being more than generous.

Finally when there was a brief moment of silence Tsunami rose to her paws. "Regardless of what is decided I'd like to request being allowed to join the raiding party." She spoke evenly, trying to meet her uncle's gaze so he could see how serious she was.
