Kapra appeared with his usual less-than-sober mien and Katja dipped her head in greeting to her Jarl. "Gr??e, Vetter," she returned his greeting before turning her attention to the much larger youngling approaching. Laufey, who this meeting likely would affect the most. The boy appeared slightly nervous, understandable in a youth who has been singled out to appear before the alpha and the beta of the pack. "Hello, Laufey," she said calmly, her expression deliberately clear of any form of censure as she glanced over at him. Now to wait for Orochi.
Not for long, however. The other tall boy appeared, but said nothing. He stopped further away than Kapra and Laufey, the divide between the two groups obvious and frankly concerning. "Hello, Orochi." She leveled a measuring stare at him before her gaze swept out to include the whole group. "My thanks for your prompt appearances," she began. "I call you three here apart from the rest of Yfir because there something that must be made known. Secrets among a pack, among a family, can damage relationships beyond repair. These bonds must be nurtured in honesty, not secrecy, to flourish and grow strong and unbreakable."
Her focus once more bored into Orochi alone, though cool and calm rather than accusing. "Do you wish to speak now, Orochi, or shall I continue?" It was only fair that she give him the opportunity to be honest before she laid bare the truth.
