Level Up (MEETING)

Gil listened with a stoic expression. He wasn’t one to typically voice much in the meetings, but it appeared that it would be necessary for this one. Sparrow was giving a rather… inspirational speech that had him chuckling softly. Ah, the yearlings were rather broody looking which he didn’t quite understand. Sure, they lost a bunch, but that was the point of them practicing. One must lose before they succeed or some sort of wise bullshit like that.

As Sparrow’s speech came to a close, Gil waited for the yearlings to speak up first. He wanted to hear what they all had to say before he made his own decision. With the different suggestions for the different packs, his brow would raise and then furrow slightly. He had little knowledge of most packs they had yet to visit and if he were being honest, he would love it if they went back to the castle… That raid he had unfortunately missed out on and he wanted a chance at their wine cellar.

His mind was somewhat elsewhere when his own son spoke up about leaving. Both ears flickered as Gil’s yellow gaze moved to Rexx. There is confusion as he studies his tusked offspring. He sees the confidence in the young boy and the outright betrayal lingering on Scald’s face too. So leaving the pack had been a surprise to everyone. Gil readjusts his face as he nods in Rexx’s direction - he would not stop the boy if that was his wish. Turning his attention back to the rest of the group, he looks at each of the yearlings.

“I will mentor any who wish to be mentored but I won’t search you out. It’ll be up to you to come see me,” he speaks plainly so that the broody group of teenagers will get the message. Gil wasn’t going to do the work for them if they wanted to get somewhere in life. Then he turns his attention back to Scald. “Perhaps you would like to be mentored by Sparrow?” The man raises a brow in his son’s direction hoping that someone would help guide his somewhat lost son.

Then he turns to look at the woman in charge, the Pirate King. “I can scout out Elysium with Scald, Jack, and anyone else who would like to join,” Gil smiles then before shrugging. He would scout or he wouldn’t. Wherever Sparrow told him to go, he would.
