growing pains [ASHEN MEETING]

Verity offered a few timid glances to her new arrivals but mainly remained still. She didn't know anyone in the pack other then Seere and the Empress so she didn't really have much to think about anyone else. The youngling was rather glad when the meeting began and shifted her undivided attention to Venom as she spoke. Verity's tail swished with excitement at the mention of a wedding and puppies! Maybe when they were old enough she'd have some new friends. But, the meeting shifted rather quickly after that. The Empress was offering the apprentices and chance to claim higher ranks. A few Wolves, including her Mother, voiced their claims. But, Verity remained quiet. She was too young and it was too early into her training for her to feel confident enough to claim the rank of Herbalist. Maybe by next season or when she turned a year old she'd be skilled enough to consider it.

The rest of the meeting was focused on relocation and Venom discarding a name. None of it really resonated with Verity since she had only joined Ashen a short time ago. The pup didn't really have emotional ties to her family just yet but perhaps with this change she would with time. All in all, the pup was mostly excited her friend Seere got a promotion and there were going to be more puppies around here soon.
