Kicking it into gear!

"Speech"
Recluse waited as her pack would arrive before her. Kali would arrive promptly and ask her how she was doing. She gently bumped her daughter and smiled softly at her. "Tired, but well." Her daughter was of course more than welcome to take her place beside her and she was pleased to see Kali was taking to her role to heart. It would be interesting to see how Carnage responded.

Her aunt would arrive next, followed quickly by two of her children, Recluse still felt a pang of pain over the tragedy that had befallen her aunt and she still wasn't sure how to help her. But the woman silently hoped that the return of her missing daughter would help to lift her from her slump. Veigar would join them soon and she gave the boy a little smile, she had a soft spot for her younger cousin. Soon after two of Recluse's own children would arrive, each with their own reaction to where their sister had found herself, interesting. Eraithus and Voodoo, then Wendigo and despite the little scene he'd created she couldn't help a fond little chuckle. Askell was the last to arrive. At least before she was about to stop speaking, interrupted by Medusa, Cherry gaze narrowed as she watched the slave woman slide in, followed shortly after by Jigsaw and Aryn. Late but still there, better than she could say for a few others.

Finally, she spoke, her voice clear and carrying easily down the volcano towards her gathered wolves. "Thank you all for your prompt arrival." She gave the last three stragglers a look as she spoke. "As many of you know much has changed since the last time we all gathered here. I do not wish to linger too much on the state of the world but I do wish to encourage you all to go out and learn what you can about what is happening out there. Information has never been more valuable." She swept her gaze over them all.

"But I wish to focus more instead on the changes that have happened within our own border." She glanced proudly over to her daughter. "My own daughter Kali has been promoted to the rank of Cherubim, though she would do well to remember that position is not secured for her yet." She gave the girl a quick quirk of her eyebrow but was happy still to have her daughter at her side. "Further, her brother Misery has taken the first rank of Hashmallim within the pack, I have also decided on his first assignment." Recluse grinned at her son as she spoke, knowing this would be the first time he heard this. "In short time I will ask him to leave the pack to clean himself of our scent and then approach our neighbours of Abaven and spend time amongst their ranks, to learn what he can for us as our first spy."

Finally she turned to seek out the other young members of her pack. "Finally I would like to let many among our ranks to state what they'd like to do within the pack. My children Carnage and Wendigo, as well as my cousins, Fortune, Sorcerer and Voodoo, are all now a year old and as such you may now declare which ranks you'd wish to hold within the pack and if you are unsure you will all become Ishim." Then she turned her attention towards Eraithus and Aryn each as she addressed them. "Eraithus, if you still wish to be a fighter within Habari please let me know and you will gladly be accepted within the ranks. Aryn, I am also interested in knowing what it is you also wish for yourself here." She would give each wolf a chance to speak.

And when that had finally come to pass she turned towards Kali, knowing her daughter had a plan of her own to share with the pack.
