Aurielle Adravendi

Spring would be coming soon, and with it, the second year of her and Red’s children. They were all growing into themselves, settling into their strengths, finding their weaknesses and, hopefully, finding ways to get around or improve those weaknesses. She’d picked a day where she was certain all five yearlings were nearby to hear her call, and when she was ready – and somewhat better rested after a night of sleeping herbs – she settled in the widest part of the ravine, just outside the cave mouth, tipping her muzzle back and howling for her sons and daughters. The call wasn’t an optional tone, and she expected them to all be there soon. She could already hear Ardyn and Coran chatting as they came from the main chamber and moved to sit before her, and so her ears shifted and swiveled to search for her daughters as she waited patiently with a faint smile, mostly for the benefit of the boys and girls. Inside she was a turmoil, wondering if Spring would bring yet more bizarre, worrying events. Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Labhair an Sean-Teanga." ---- "Hear" ---- Think

Laoise Adravendi

Lee was napping in her chamber in the cave, exhausted from the strange days or rather, lack there-of now. Her sleep was restless and she kept drifting in and out of sleep, so when her mother's howl of summons filled the air, Lee sighed and blinked open her eyes. The charcoal and russet girl had the brief urge to close her eyes again and nap a little longer but she knew from the tone that what ever it was that her mother wanted to talk about, it was important and she was expected to be there. Plus with everything else going on, Laoise didn't want to be another source of problems for Mom, on top of everything else. With a soft groan, Lee got to her paws and stretched then shook out her pelt to hopefully manage some of the bed head she was sure was messing up her pelt. She padded softy out of her chamber and followed the scent of Ardyn and Coran towards the mouth of the cave. She found them and mother sitting just outside of the cave and Lee moved and sat herself next to her siblings after gently and affectionally brushing shoulders with Aurielle. She gave her brothers a sleepy but warm smile. Her blue eyes then glanced around for Amorielle but her sister had not arrived yet, so Lee gave her head another, hopefully subtle, shake to chase off the remaining tiredness that clung to her like a tick as they waited.

Aoife looked up from restringing her dulcimer when she heard her mother's call, and then set the instrument aside. Her lute was already hung safely from its peg and she couldn't imagine needing it at a family meeting, so she left it there to go wash her paws and face in the pitcher of water she usually left in the corner of her crafting room to clean off the mess of projects from her paws. She hadn't been working on anything messy today but she knew she wasn't super presentable either, so she splashed some water to remedy that and dried on the cloth next to it before trotting out to follow her mother's call. Everyone was already gathering except her and Amory, but it didn't particularly bother Aoife to be somewhat late as she meandered in to flop down next to her siblings, ears pricked forward attentively to see what this was all about.

Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi

He and Coran had been talking quietly about the strange lack of full day lately when their mother called for them. He nudged his smaller brother’s shoulder and they quickly joined their mother, settling in as their sisters filtered in to join them. Ardyn smiled at Aoife, leaning down to murmur “I’d like to work on a duet later if you want.” Two our of three sisters had arrived, but his mother was waiting patiently, so this was definitely an important thing. For once, he wasn’t privy to his mother’s plans, and from the glint in her eye, he was beginning to wonder what she was planning. Was it something about the strange goings on? That could be it—maybe she wanted them to be safe, or wanted them to go on small missions to gather information… that could be fun, and a good introduction to their second year, coming up so soon.
