Set the stage

They didn't have to wait long before Gwynevere joined them, and then all four summoned wolves had been assembled. Syanna took a brief moment to look between themselves, wondering what this was about. Ulric didn't keep them in suspense for long, and soon their alpha began to reveal the purposes of their meeting. The upper echelon of the Hallows had been empty for too long. They would be the wolves to fill the ranks. Syanna listened in amazement when Ulric complimented her quick thinking and skills to save Ezra's life, giving the spotted boy beside her a bashful smile while his father sang her praises for keeping him alive. She was secretly thankful she'd been able to save his life too, though for reasons she did not intend to vocalize out loud to this group. The look she gave Ezra spoke volumes on that hidden intent. Ulric then promoted Avantika and Ezra to the role of Templar for their exemplary fighting skills, and Syanna gave them both a proud grin. She didn't know Avantika very well, but she was overjoyed that Ezra's hard work had paid off!

Ulric then began to speak of an upcoming feast for the winter, once the wolf named Artorias had returned home. She had heard talk of this wolf, and Ezra had spoken of him as his best friend, so she had no doubt she'd get along with him as well. He wanted their help to make preparations for the feast, asking her and Gwyn to provide decorations and accoutrements to go with the meats Ezra and Avantika were tasked with bringing in. And apparently there was something said about wine, too? That caught Syanna's ear with intrigue. "There's a lot of lovely evergreen plants we can use to decorate the hall with," she suggested, looking more to Gwyn, as she knew the other girl would have the same working knowledge of botany as her. "Holly, mistletoe, some winter-growing flowers... We can come up with something." Although she really just wanted to end the meeting so she could whisk Ezra back off to his room, Syanna did also want to be a functional member of the pack and contribute to her new role as well.
