*Faelcu The fae could only silently nod at her mentor at his closing statement. There wasn’t anything left to say, really, so she let her gaze drift. Perhaps she’d see an unfamiliar face among the growing crowd, but her eyes befell upon a more familiar figure. Seeing Kaia approaching, Faelcu would swish her tail and give her a wolffish grin, happy to see her again after what felt like ages. “Kaia!” She’d woof in her direction as the speckled fae walked over to her and Leora. “How do you fare? Are you well?” Faelcu would then hush down upon hearing the alphess howl, and the old fae focused her attention on the meeting ahead. She could only guess what was about to be said since Leora and Kaia had been called forth.

* Shukie As her sister called the meeting she straightened, a smile forming upon her muzzle as the two faes were called forth, ears perked forward.

* Rook No sooner would he have the opportunity to dip his nose in a quiet greeting to Kaia than she and his sister were called forward. Considering meetings had been quite spartan as of late, the added few wolves would not go unnoticed; the fickle and flighty brood of his sister not withstanding.

* Maeve it would seem that indeed a shindig was afoot, and the young muddy fae would take a seat close by to watch over the proceedings. If indeed she’d catch Kova’s gaze she’d offer a wag of her tail, happy to see her and seemingly well enough! Though she’d more than likely see to more conversation after the important business is concluded. For now she’d quietly listen in, her gaze looking to Leora, happy to see her seemingly also doing well.

* Kaia there was little time to settle it seemed, but she’d offer a familiar brush of her muzzle to faelcu, firm and friendly to her kin. As she offered in a hushed tone “I am well” she didn’t want to speak during the meeting but she didn’t want faelcu worrying. “Would you take care of this a moment?” She said then she’d lay the feather at faelcus paws, she didn’t have time to wait for an answer before she got up moving to join leora if the fae seemed to be ready, kaia would not step forward without her it seemed.

* Kova she would look to Kaia and Leora and when both offered their heart upon their chests as well as their will to see the path forward in full she grinned with equal pride to their shared words. She turned to look to her mate a moment then back to Kaia and Leora.

“Your paths together have been your own but as well together, forged and built.” she would press her paw upon the stone a moment before stommping it.

“Those who’ve come before you have sworn a creed of life to this home and to this pack. As a member, you will uphold the ways and rules of the pack for those who are to come before and after. You will be the name of WolfSpirits not just in it’s name, but as a part of it’s lore and history from now until the last breath you share to this world and earthly plain. Even should your path ever stray, a home here will always be true.” she looked between Kaia and Leora. “Whether born to it or not, each path is carved intricatly by ones spirit and dedication. You both have proved over and over again that dedication. That heart. That spirit. Approval has been given by Rook, your mentor, that you are ready to become a member of WolfSpirits. Stand before the pack today, this very evening, and receive your names.” She took a step forward.

“Kaia, I proudly name you subordinate and member of WolfSpirits. Welcome home.” she’d smile then turn to the light colored fae. “Leora, I proudly name you subordinate and member of WolfSpirits. Welcome home.” and with that she’d feel the welling in her chest grow. Her heart grow. Her blood grow warm with the pride she held for the pair and those who will come after. They had great heart and promise and she was glad to see them fulfilled in their path. One traversed with many more to go for this was just the beginning.

She’d let loose a low, deep and powerful howl for the pack’s newest members!

* Kaia listened intently, she could feel her heart beating, nerves? Maybe, for only now did she truly understand the outcome of the trial. But she offered a firm stamp of her paw, mostly for leora. But in some ways with hope to grow that sense of belonging. That wherever she might tread, she had a place here. With what family she had found. Kaia offered no grand howl, not a quiet one either, but she did close her eyes and raise her head to listen to others songs breaking through the day, a large grin peeling across her face, of that feeling when you couldn’t quite stop smiling. There was grief sewn through that smile, but different from that she’d carried with her when she arrived here nine months ago.

* Leora she would feel the presence of many within. Their voices and their presence was felt. Oh how it was felt. She felt her heart beat. Her body tense with emotions of many kinds. Oh how she wished her sisters where here. Kwa’ani, Fianna. Her brother Redwing. Her mother and father. She took a moment to look over her shoulder to the east, beyond the course and into the hollows. As if she could listen to the gentle wind and hear the aurum. Her mother and fathers breath. She would lift her muzzle and howl for her and Kaia’s advancement!

* Kova her silvern hues would befall her sister as she’d offer words and speak what lay to her mind and will to present to the pack itself. Her heart light and she listened intently. When she would make mention of Kwa’ani, she tilted her head rather swiftly but more so in curious intent.”Kwa’ani?” she would say. “That’s curious, but I am glad to hear that she might still be alive. I wonder were her path may lead and will keep a nose out.” she added. “Thank you for your report” she offered with a dip of her head. “And welcome back” she said with a swing of her tail before stilling. She’d be curious what she meant by the other secrets. Perhaps she’s found something of interest?

* Rook the packlands comprised a great many corners and pieces of annexed and unused history that he’d not think this observation far fetched nor would he find the mention of other secrets out of bounds. Like a fledgling owl or hawk, Kwa probably didn’t venture too far from her birthplace, but what kept her away was what kept her away. Unless she was here or had a mind to be here, it made little difference that she was miles or leagues away than to twinge the heart strings a sister he barely knew resided on. Rook said nothing in response to the news and enticement and would begin to see himself away from the fray near the stone and to the river’s edge north of it. Such things could be bartered for later if their value was true.

* Kova she’d look to Shukie and remain standing there as she’d listen intently to her words. She had a request but when she didn’t seem to bring it forward she wouldn’t push her to announce it but she’d allow her a few more moments. She would swing her tail ever so lightly to her sister. She’d much to discuss with her still. “I appreciate the ears, Shukie” she said kindly. She turned to the rest. “Does any others wish to bring forward their own words before I conclude tonight’s meeting?” she would perk curiously.

* Faelcu since no one else stepped forward to share their words, Faelcu took her chance to speak on one thing. Minor, but still important since Kova had asked her to a few days ago.  “I would like to briefly add that I haven’t found anything noteworthy on the West side of the territory,” she said with a light dip of her head before sitting back down.

* Kova she would smile to Faelcu and dip her head inviting the fae to speak as well. To her report she dipped her head. “Thank you Faelcu” she said. “I was going to make another round of scoutings once more. Perhaps those who are able to make it, I wouldn’t mind additional company to help mark further beyond my own.” she said aloud.
