pre-dawning of a new era [ASHEN]

Cognac sauntered in on the heels of his mother, scanning the crowd for any faces of interest. Eh. Nothing much. Luce had warned him to stay on the sidelines and simply observe for now. It was hard not get a word in edgewise, but he knew better than to stress his mother out - his dad would get after him real bad. He'd suffered one too many nipped heels to start anything at something as important as a pack meeting... even if they were being summoned by someone who wasn't Deathbelle. Cog tried to keep his face clean of emotion as he took a seat just a few strides away from his mother. Deathbelle had always been kind to them, but her brood? Not so much. The winds of change were, uh, maybe not in their favor.
