Celebrate the Milestones

More and more wolves start to arrive, including Andy. Charlie frowns deeply, glancing toward his sister, but he is waiting for his father to answer. This appeared to be some sort of celebration but… for what? He furrows his brow, remaining quiet as wolves trickle in. He recognizes those from The Hallows, more of their kin, and soon even Kite joins them. He gives a quiet “Hey…” to her and let Andy take the reins of explaining things. Well, whatever was going on, it seemed it was meant to be a good thing, so Charlie let his look of confusion turn to a smile. Behind him his tail began to wag as his father answered, though he didn’t really tell him what was going on. That was fine. It was probably more fun to figure it out in time.

But then Andy posed a question and Charlie furrows his brow. “Not really…” He admits. “I’ve been more focused on trying to get stronger and work on my agility… As well as trying to attend sessions for training where he could. He was also finding himself spending more time exploring the Armada’s market. His gaze would slide back toward his father. He didn’t want to think of that, or of needing to figure out his own spot. Things were starting to begin and Charlie focused on his father.

Wait, this was for them? His smile turned to a grin, wavering only a little at the mention of how their mother couldn’t be there. But she was there, wasn’t she? Charlie was sure he could feel her presence there, warming his heart. She was gone from this plane, but he knew she would be waiting for them. She loved them, all of her children. He would step forward, but then hesitated, glancing at his siblings. He wanted them to do this together.

"Speech," 'Thought.'
