What are you waiting for?

Eltrys watched with warmth in his eyes as he saw a gaggle of members both of Norad's guests and the newly 2-year-olds come and greet their family. He kept his focus on both Bae-syl and Lucette.

Eltrys frowned at the news that Bae-syl had not seen Alex. Eltrys was not liking that members would just leave and not tell other's their whereabouts. How were they to know where to look for first if they didn't tell anyone where they were going? What if something terrible happened to Alex while he was gone but no one had known? What if their enemies were enslaving their members?

And the large number of slavers that had started arriving on this continent and causing havoc. No, unfortunately, he could not let that go on for much longer.

Bae-syl was determined to leave immediately in the morning.
"Lucette is right, you will not be heading out to find him Bae-syl, not until you have recovered enough from this venture first, and you hear me out." He watched as Bellatrix slid into the den, with his eyes, and brought them back to the fighter and his newly returned wife. He waited for Lucette to finish speaking with her son then turned to him about what they needed.

"Hmm... yes we still have a small store of herbs, some bandages, and splints. I'll get Alexa on it, hopefully, Tani can assist as well." He sent out a call to the shy bi-colored girl who no doubt would start to gather the supplies and meet them here, and to Vitani, though he knew Tani didn't know him as well.

"I'm afraid there's been a few changes while you were both gone." He said after Luccette inquired about her brother Dorian.

"A few members have chosen a new path away from the pack, Doran and Dagrun among them. Perhaps Alex had also chosen this, but it's not known. Saga stepped down from leadership a mere few days ago. She has given me the mantle and I told her to take some time to rest. She is still a youngster among the bears and the title is heavy, I'm honored to greet you as chief of the pack. In another few days, I will call the pack together... You are the first to know." He broke the news as gently and as warmly as he could. He gathered that the changes had unsettled them before, and he wished he had a better repertoire with both of them.


"Speech!"
