asleep at the wheel [fiori meeting & recruiting]

Fiori had grown far too quiet for comfort. She had wanted Fiori to be a safe-haven for family and friends alike. A true home. And yet she had not expected such obvious inactivity, such silence. The two that showed the most initiative, Bjorn and Birna, apparently had taken their leave. It was honestly a pity that they had not stayed, as they had been quite loyal and driven. Even her own children were not nearly so dedicated.. There was much to be discussed among the pack. Did the yearling wish to choose a path, now that they were growing into adults? Even more importantly - did they even want to be here, or had they only stayed because they were children following their parents? Epiphron wondered, too, as she paced closer to the center of the mangroves, if the pack was happy living quietly as they did, or did they too want more? Tilting her head to the midday sun, she let loose a call for them. She wanted to know not just who remained, but also who truly wanted to stay and what they wanted out of life here. Her call was also to any who wished to join them, for their numbers were dwindling and with winter's arrival she knew prey would be scarce.. and perhaps letting someone new in wouldn't hurt. When her call was concluded, she would lower her hindquarters to the earth, resting near the side of a mangrove tree in quiet anticipation of who might arrive.

First round is due on June 3rd. Looking to know who wants to stay in Fiori, what the unranked yearlings are interested in studying, and more. Verbal discussion will be very encouraged. :)
