Gwen's patrol was going to take her back to the plains today, and she found herself thinking back to her worries about how quiet and unsocial the pack was. She was near enough to the social center of the pack here, on her way out to the border, that she thought it might be possible to catch someone's attention to bring them along with her. Patrolling in pairs would be a good idea to start back up now that more of the pack's missing wolves were returning to them anyway. Regulus, Aurielle, Laisren, Justice, Amos, and herself would all be available for certain, Paladin might be willing to join patrols when he returned from his trip since he wasn't strictly speaking ONLY a healer. She wasn't sure where Aramis would fit into the pack's hierarchy when he was feeling up to joining them, so she wouldn't count on him as a warrior, and as far as she could remember Solveiga had only ever really been a healer even before she'd become Regulus' consort. That gave the pack six to patrol for sure, seven with Paladin. That would give them a little more wiggle room than they'd had before, even if they ran two separate patrols a day, one patrol in each land. More difficult if they ran a night patrol as well. Hm. Hunting on a border patrol wasn't really a great idea either, since you couldn't focus properly on one or the other if you combined them, so then they'd need a hunt patrol out as well... Damn, damn, damn. Even with Regulus back they'd be hard pressed to keep up and still have patrol partners. She'd have to ask Aurielle what she wanted her to do about it so they could be certain that patrols were being covered. As head warrior it had been her job to assign patrols... she supposed it still was, though she wasn't entirely sure where she fit in as a right wing.

Sighing, she lifted her muzzle and called out to the pack's warriors, asking for one other to join her patrol.

Lais was in the area, making a quick pit stop at the communal dens to drop off a small bunch of rabbits he had caught. For anyone who might be hungry. A lot of bodies had disappeared from Celestial and he was doing his best to continue patrols, but also do some hunting when he could to ensure everyone was well fed. Being only one wolf he could only ever bring home small prey, but as long as he could bring something home he felt that was a big help. He had just dropped the rabbits when Gwen's howl rang through the plains. Without hesitation he picked up in the direction of her call working to get there rather quickly. She hadn't been far and the long legged stride of the male helped him cover ground quickly. When she came into view he let out a light bark making her aware that he was there. He slowed down and stopped beside her with a light wag of his tail. Ready to start patrol, at least that's what he assumed the call was for. "Hey Gwen," he greeted with a smile. "Laisren Talk", & 'Laisren Think'

Somehow it didn't really surprise her that it was Laisren who showed up to her call. While the male didn't seem to show a great deal of ambition or initiative for his own position, he rarely failed to answer when she called for pack members. She smiled at him.

"Hello, Laisren," she responded. "Do you have time to join me for a patrol today? I had planned to make a loop of the plains if you're interested." She thought, now that she had Laisren here, that it wouldn't hurt to have a private conversation with him, to gently nudge him into taking more initiative within the pack.

She wasn't entirely sure what was allowed and what was expected of her as right wing - what decisions she could make on her own and what she couldn't. Aurielle hadn't been pleased that she'd called a meeting to introduce her pups to the pack... she had never had an issue with her calling fight training or the former hunter Mask calling a hunt without permission, so in many ways Gwen felt that her decisions were more restricted now than when she had just been a warrior. She didn't want to cross the line again in pushing Lais and the other members to improve themselves, or to arrange training for them that they couldn't get in the pack, but she also couldn't go running to Aurielle every time some opportunity came up. She would just have to trust she was doing the right thing and take the consequences later if Aurielle didn't approve.
