To the impatient yearling's relief, the masked woman did not bother waiting for the whole lot of young wolves to show up and proceeded to address them very soon after Callisto herself had showed up. Surprised by the quickness, she listened almost contentedly, assuming the meeting to be done very soon if this was any indication of how it might go overall. And the details were revealed in short order, the purpose for calling them all together: training. She should have assumed it, though the worrisome fact that Katja had mentioned, about the pups outnumbering the adults and leaving fewer available to mentor the young, was news to Callisto. Even so, she was little surprised; she had a one track mind most of the time. Healing and herbs and plants.
Once the masked woman had opened the floor, leaving it for them to offer up their preferred school of training, one of the males present spoke up, one of the three who tended to pal around with the girl who smiled too much - brothers of hers, Callisto guessed. The suggestions he made were somewhat conflicting with what Katja was saying, and she could sense a discussion ready to revolve around it if someone took the bait to begin that discussion. It was not what the shadowy, black and grey girl wanted at all. It was an unnecessary delay; she had no parents anymore. And besides she was already training with Maximous, and she really had no intention of changing that.
Likely that was a little known fact, however. Those arrangements had only been discussed with Vaughan when he had accepted her and then Max himself when she had relayed the training message to him. It seemed time to enlighten Katja about it as well. "I'm already training," she stated when the other young male had finished voicing his own preference. The sooner she explained her own particular situation, the sooner she might be released to keep doing just as she said. "Maximous is teaching me about plants and healing." Silvery blue eyes fixed on Katja, Callisto hoped her answer would be enough to free her from this meeting already.
