this is a call, a beginning!

The wolves filled in around him, and he smiled at Keahi as she bumped her head lightly against his shoulder. He returned the gesture with a light bump of his shoulder against hers as she settled. When Beauregard appeared, he returned the nod. Taking special care to know what those that would be his warriors were up to. He returned smiles when given, nodding his head towards Audra, and then the meeting began in earnest.

Wren spoke of the season, and it was true that their true test would be when winter came. It would be important to be prepared before the bitter colds came. She spoke of alliances, and Mercury gave a thoughtful nod. He’d made some inroads already himself, but there was much more to do.

She spoke of challenges in summer, and preparations for Autumn. He considered, briefly, challenging for the beta position… but it was too soon to consider such things. She asked if anyone wished to speak, and Mercury stood. Turning to face the wolves behind him. “For those that I haven’t met yet, I’m Mercury. I will be Seneschal in the pack - lead fighter. I take the well being of all of you seriously. If any of you have any security concerns, or need aid, call for me. I promise to you all my support” He declared. Wishing them all to know they had an open lifeline to him at all times.
