Ara watched with her wide, curious blue gaze as the meeting began. It was hard to follow a lot of what King Maverick was saying, but she tried anyway, pressed tightly against her mother's side. Promotions, demotions -- nothing that involved her. Though he did announce that the four were children of Bronze and Silent. She didn't expect much more than that, as she was just a child. Maybe someday she could be important in the pack; she knew working hard and making something of herself was important to her father. Her eyes drifted to the children of the King and Queen, noting they were about her age. With a sparkle in her eye, she smiled at them, wondering if she could befriend them soon.

There was more going on. Wolves from Glaciem? Apparently they were bad. It wasn't too important, because Ara couldn't imagine wandering too far from Seracia territory even still. But the final news was much more appealing to her; wolves would be mentoring younger children! Almost immediately her gaze swept to Loccian, the woman she had spoken with that one evening ... Even though the King said she could mentor his daughter, could she possibly mentor more than one wolf? With a gulp of air, she managed to build up some courage and slip forward towards Loccian. "Maybe... you can mentor me, too?" she inquired, her voice so soft is was nearly nonexistent. "I want to know how to make pain go away, like you do..." Ara knew her parents were growing older, and often tired and sore, and she wanted so desperately to be able to make all the discomfort go away forever.
