The meeting started soon enough, once the last drunk arrived of course. Nothing new though, right?? He had been drunk himself not too long ago. Sparrow started with congratulating him, Gil, and Pyralis for their efforts in the raid. Something he was certainly proud of, made up for losing certain other fights. She moved on to introducing her pups, crimson gaze finding them once more as the little creatures bounced around and did pup things. I set his heart racing because soon, his and Eden's were due any day now and he still wasn't sure how he was going to handle that. When she brought up their efforts with Azure, his gaze grew dark and he stiffened. The wound on his side from the bastard still hurt, but at least Eden had tended to it well enough. He was still pissed, and was keen on one day, ripping Azure a new one. But alas, it was someone else that had gotten the glory for that day. Oh well. Artisan did deserve it, after all, he had been the only one out of the group to have succeeded to his knowledge.

Promotions were next, and unsurprisingly, Eden had earned herself a promotion! He glanced down at her, proud although he wouldn't admit it. Then Sparrow would promote him to the rank of Wrath, and he glanced at her in surprise. Honestly, he didn't think he'd get one with his loss to Azure, but perhaps he had shown his ahem...wrath on those that dared stand against him well enough that she decided he earned it. And Artisan, of course, had earned the fitting title of Greed.

Scouting parties for their next target. He was grouped with Pyralis, Modesty, and Hyacinth. He frowned about the latter. That guy had been piss poor at the raid, and of course, he wasn't even here! Oh well, Pyralis was someone he respected, and Modesty? Questionable, but interesting. Probably someone else he could get along with. What interested him most, was the bounty on Hanako. His brow quirked up, that was Azure's bitch, right? Ho ho ho...interesting. Things just got very interesting indeed. Now he'd make it his personal goal to further get under Azure's skin, and what better way than to steal his wife or whatever she was?

After all that, Eden turned to congratulate him, and he nodded in thanks. "You too," He said simply, though he would congratulate her properly away from the eyes of the group. But then she talked about something that Azure had been spreading around. Man, what was that guy's problem? Stealing children? Kidnapping? The only kidnapping he was aware of was the recent Hanako heist. Anything else before joining he was oblivious to, of course. He had no idea what the beef with Pirates and Azure and Armada was, to be honest. He remained quiet on the matter though. Let them talk. That's all it was. If they wanted to get physical, he'd gladly take them up on that.

He sighed and remained quiet as Gil and Pyralis spoke next. He was tired and wanted to go rest his wounds, which he was reminded of more when Jack came to stare at him for a moment, probably staring at his wounds. "You'll get them too one day, kid." He said gruffly before the boy moved on to someone else.

Shit...was that what he had to look forward to? Leashing kids?

The meeting went as meetings tended to, she offered a grin when promotions were announced, she was far too lazy to go chasing one of her own, content just to get by in good company. Her toes tingled at the mention of scouting, she’d been bogged down in her own misery since the kids were born and if she ever did it again she’d be lining up a wet nurse to manage the horror that feeling the teethy little monsters, but there was no risk of that happening again any time soon, this lot were practically still wet behind the ears.

But then again, it sounded terribly like work…

Pyr had a really good point, she hadn’t seen Hya since the raid, and he was kinda difficult to miss with the lingering scent of booze forever wafting around him in a cloud. She nodded when the older woman mentioned leaving in the morning. “We can keep an eye out for Hyacinth while we’re out and about.” He seemed to almost be legless most days, surely he couldn’t have gotten far?

Kashi wasn't so bothered by the collar and leash as much as he was bothered about being dragged out to the pack. He didn't WANT to be in the sand and the sun and he didn't understand why he couldn't stay in the soft bed in his nice, cool room. Their mother said it was important, or whatever, so he went. They talked about a bunch of adult things and his siblings all did their own things. Kashi insisted on being physically dragged out to the meeting spot and dramatically decided to play dead through the whole meeting. That would really show them for bringing him out here.

Sparrow was more than thrilled to hear that she was living rent free in Azure's head as Eden spoke, "Awee, he's thinking about me, how sweet!" She glanced over her pack, "Hear that, we are getting ourself a reputation!" Pyralis jokes about having pups and so Sparrow rolled her eyes, "Okay, only Pyralis can have pups." She's almost always concede to Pyralis, but she didn't want that knowledge to get around.

Later, they were talking about Hya missing and Sparrow nodded at the plan. "Keep your eyes out and ears to the ground for rumors. Other than that, in the meantime find us someone to raid."
