Until Lambs Become Lions

The trip back to Ethne was spent mostly in silence and Haydée only really spoke to Gavroche and Ikuchi when necessary. She was angry about everything and the fact that they had gone missing shortly after the raid had only added to her stress. Plus, the fact that Gilgamesh had openly berated her leadership has the young woman was down right furious. The open wounds on her neck still sting but the rapid flow of blood has at least slowed and, while she knows she will need to get them cleaned and stitched shut, they are not a pressing matter at the moment.

As the trio cross into Ethne lands, Hay pulls the boys to a stop and turns her attention to them. Tone scolding but still somehow gentle, she says, “Gav, never, ever seek out a pack like that again. Do you understand?” The wounds are not his fault but it didn’t help that part of the embarrassment she feels is due to the fact that he decided to take it upon himself to try and fix things without letting anyone know. Green gaze flicks between them both for a moment before she declares, “Until further notice, you both are not allowed to leave Ethne lands unless accompanied by myself, your parents, or a Combatant. Is that understood?”

Waiting for them to acknowledge the restrictions, she then bobs her head and blows out a sigh, all the tension in her body keeping her wound up like a band about to snap. Flicking her head in the direction of the falls, Haydée pushes down the pain as she says, “Come on, we going to have a meeting.” Escorting them to the top of the falls where the clearing waits, the young Leader nimbly leaps atop the stone she uses to address the pack and releases a deep howl, summoning the all of Ethne to her so that they can discuss what has happened.

Settling onto the rock, her body language speaks of the anger and hurt she feels as she waits for her pack to filter in. The wounds on her neck are apparent and exhaustion tugs at her mind but Haydée needs to address them before she can allow herself the luxury of sleeping. Ah, the burdens of Leadership.






OOC: Mandatory meeting! Everyone is expected to attend as they will be discussing the raid and fallout as a pack! Posts due by March 4th. If you cannot attend just let me or Beau know. Gavorache and Ikucki are restricted to Ethne until further notice.
