After most everyone she was calling for had assembled, Theory looked out over them with pride shining out of her eyes; her gaze was almost glassy with tears that she felt welling up from within her. So much had changed in the past year and it had finally culminated in what she felt like was the pack's first "victory" in a long time. Disasters had plagued them relentlessly but they had persevered. Their ally had turned on them but they had overcome. Theo was filled with confidence and immeasurable thanks for the mettle of her friends and packmates. Taking a deep breath, she addressed the group: "Let me begin by saying thank you for your bravery in our recent raid. As you might expect, I am officially declaring the end of our formal alliance with Winterfell. I would like to carefully observe as their contract with the raiders continues to be fulfilled and advise everyone to remain vigilance on border patrols. I did not expect this from Acere, but I also did not expect him to bargain away his pack's fealty. Anyone who has friends in the north - I know we have granted them shelter before - I encourage you to maintain those personal relationships. True friends are always important, and true friends will warn us of any impending, uh, disaster," she said nervously, clearing her throat. Her eyes met Corvus' in the crowd. Ignis' message sent before Acere cared to send along Drifa had been an important key in her personal preparations for the raid. "Now, on to better news. Eulogy: for your efforts in healing after the end of the raid and to celebrate your return, I would love to see you rise as one of our pack's Baldrian, an honored healer. Do you accept?" Thank you, auntie. You are finally home with your children. "Motif - for your bravery on the battlefield, will you accept a position as Oleaster? Poem and I will continue your training privately and I would like you to begin joining Poem on patrol for additional experience." Sweet sister. You've already come out of your shell so much. I could cry at the time we've lost... but my heart is just warm at the thought of our shared future. "Desolate! You triumphed over extreme adversity. Your opponent's attempted maim confirmed my final wishes to sever our alliance with Winterfell - no true ally would attempt such a wound." Theory stopped to beam at her apprentice. They had grown so close. "I'd like to offer you the position of Oleaster under my direct supervision. We will train together and with my sisters in order to fast track you towards Blackthorn, if you choose to accept. Part of your training will also include training as a battle medic with your mother." Oh, Des... I love you, but I would give anything to see my mother again. You can't waste this opportunity now that she's come home. "Poem, I'm honored to offer you the position of Blackthorn. I'd like you and Corvus to train with Rhyme when possible to learn more details about how he handles the Rosaceae position." Our father is finally happy again... maybe one day he'd like to think about taking a step back from politics. If that day comes, I want you to be ready. "Brandr, I know your happiness lies with your family, but I was inspired by your bravery on the battlefield. To go after Acere after I was made to retreat, you have my endless gratitude. I am offering you the position of Liana, but I understand if you wish to decline. I'd also like to speak with our resident expert on how to design some raven bracers in the same vein as Poem and Rhyme's..." What an honorable man. His wife and children are lucky to have such a faithful provider - and so is all of Abaven. Talent like his is rare. "And Void, thank you for your contribution to the raid. I'd like you to tell me what position you'd like to take within the pack." He's got a head filled with stars and dreams, but he proved his worth on the battlefield. She took a deep breath. Shaye had given her as thorough of a preparation as she could for taking over the pack, but it felt like no one had warned her how much talking it involved. Theo knew offering Brandr Liana was a stretch, but she would need a savvy wolf at her side as diplomat sooner rather than later. Pack relations were getting a little sticky. At least with winter blanketing the north in snow and all but the furthest reaches of the south and west in check they'd have a reprieve from more complications. She searched for Rhyme's face and gave her father a small smile that only he might recognize as nervous. Did I do alright?
"theory speaks!"
