She did not have to wait long. Kylar would be the first to arrive with their children in tow. A small smile would lift her lips as she peered down at her children, even as Viola took her self-proclaimed seat between her forelegs. Meinx would be next, the woman always loyal and diligent in her duties. Two pale faces would burst onto the scene, faces she did not recognize. Eyes would narrow until the scent of Imperium reached her. It appeared as though her son had wasted no time in gathering up his pack to bring them here. Satisfaction would settle into her features as she nodded to the pair. Her son would be the next, pulling dark lips into a smile. "It's good to see you again." She would murmur only for his ears. Her grandson would follow her son, taking a seat beside him before being joined by the rest of his children. Much to her dismay, though not surprise, Cascade followed, remaining pleasantly silent. Aislinn would arrive next, her warrior always dutiful, even if she was silent. Chione, her newest slave would arrive, remaining silent, trying in vain to go unnoticed. Her prized warrior, Aerndis was next, she already knew exactly would to pair the woman with. Another unfamiliar face (Daeg) would arrive next, finding a seat amongst the ground. Four more of Imperiums wolves would arrive, most of which were children. Skadi was next. And then Novocaine and Atka. Finally, a familiar face would arrive, but not one she expected to see. Hati. Freya was next, immediately earning the Queens gaze. With vague amusement she watched as the girl lit up with excitement, her gaze on Valentine, only to watch it fall and embarrassed horror cross her features. A low snicker would slip from her jaws. Oh how deceiving looks could be. Neios was next, immediately finding Cascade. There was no denying that two were related, and silently she would thank whoever that Neios was nothing like his sister. Her daughter was one of the last ones to enter, followed by Ecaterina, though her golden mother was missing.
Without skipping a beat, she would cast a quick glance across all the faces before her. "I would first like to welcome Imperium to Arcanum, as our allies, you are welcome." Small pause. "We will begin todays tournament with sparring, followed by a group hunt. The pups will also get a chance to participate in some games of their own." Her gaze would flicker to the children who all sat before her. "To start the pairs, Viola and Angelus. Atka and you." She would gesture to Sirius. "Ecaterina and Evangeline. You two, unfortunately do not have partners, so you may spar with each other." She would gesture to Atreides and Integra. "Freya and you." She would gesture to Ellis. "You and Meinx." Daegmar. "Aerndis and Cascade. Skadi and Hati." "Novocaine and you." Revenge. "Neios and Valentine. Though I do wish to spar with you before you leave." She would smirk at her son, silently promising to kick his ass. "Basanti and you." Mercy. "And since we have some uneven numbers, Aislinn you will spar Chione for now, but you are welcome to take another partner." She would look briefly at everyone to ensure they all knew what they were suppose to do. "You may all begin." She would rise, seeking to herd the children away from the group so that she may supervise them. Last thing she needed was for her daughter to do some serious damage to both Angelus and their alliance.
