training the new growth [Ashen Meeting]

There wasn’t but a few moments of silence before Seere stepped forward and spoke up first, the innocent child offering her name and what she would most desire to train under. Venom smiled at the girl as she spoke, silently encouraging her before she fell silent and her father spoke to offer himself for anyone to train with. Sitri said much the same before he looked up to her own brood who were fully of age to take on apprentices. Pleione spoke up next, taking up Plague in his offer for teaching the younger wolves.

Celeste spoke up next, offering her own expertise if it was needed. Saia quietly spoke up, and specifically requested Princess Kiyohime as her mentor. Venom lifted a curious brow but did not interject especially when Ike agreed to such an arrangement. Kitsune took the opposite approach and asked to mentor the young Seere. Venom couldn’t deny either pairing would be a good course of action. Ciannait spoke up as well, seeking her own teacher humbly.

"I approve of all of these pairings. Would anyone else like to speak up?” There were a couple that hadn’t offered their services or asked for them but Venom trusted Plague to help with his children’s teaching in either case. She did give a pointed look at Kuroki though.

"I hope you all enjoy this time to learn and grow, both teachers and students. I will offer myself if any of you feel like you need extra help, but I encourage you to ask the Princes and Princesses.” She gestured to her nearly fully adult children. "Next time we gather I look forward to meeting stronger versions of yourselves.” If there wasn’t anything else to be said, Venom would dismiss the gathering.
