Cold North Winds

Andy smiles at her siblings as they appear, noticing that Dread almost arrives late and decides to sit away from the rest of them. Brows furrow slightly as she looks to him, offering him a small frown before her father’s voice brings the meeting to order and her gaze moves back to him. At the news of Azure’s absence, the girl nods her head absently already having noticed the absence for some time. Ears perk up at the news that he is opening up the Champion position and she cannot help but feel Charlie’s gaze on her. Back straightens slightly as she wonders, for a moment, what it would be like to stand beside her father.

Thankfully, the meeting moves on and Andy does not have to dwell on that news for too long. Next came the information that the Pirates had changed her name and that they would be giving them a warm welcome. A smile splits her maw and the girl enthusiastically raises her paw, wanting to be part of that raid. She allows her paw to fall back to the earth as a raid rotation is announced and her eyes snap over to where Hazel sits, knowing that she will be one of the first ones on that list. Next came talk of mentors and the girl blinks in surprise, her pale blue gaze sliding over to land on the red Gladiator.

Finally, her father mentions that Mortis and Halo are expecting their first litter of pups. A smile appears on her lips and, as Charlie speaks up, Andy slips free from her siblings. Quickly and carefully, she winds her way to where the couple sit and she moves to nuzzle the pregnant wolf affectionally. Voice soft, she offers, “Congratulations, Halo.” Next, she turns her winged sibling, offering him a bright smile and affectionate nuzzle as well, if he leans down for it, while saying, “Congratulations, Mortis. If either of you need anything let me know. I can babysit whenever you need.”

With that done, Andy excuses herself and makes her way to where Hazel is, coming to stand close to her as she says, “I would like to be put in the raid rotation, please.” Her tail wags behind her as she waits for Hazel to respond before thanking her and moving off to where Keahi sits. Another wag is offered to the red woman as Andy comes to a stop near her, saying, “I would like to be a mentor, please.” A smile is given and Keahi thanks her before releasing the girl to and mingle with the others that still linger in the meeting area.

As she moves to rejoin her siblings, her pale blue eyes look to where Sirius stands and lock on him for a moment. Maybe she will try to go for the Champion position after all.
