Neverwinter Forest cry wolf

Sorry so late, guys. <3 Next round ends on the 8th

They came -- emerging from the shadows of the forest and he felt a surge of pride that even with nature's beauty almost fully stripped, this woodlands was theirs to call home. His muzzle tipped in warm recognition to Astra, his gaze softening upon her, though he did not speak for now. Njal was next, and then Kieran, who offered an embellished bow.
 
Allure's stiff greeting was not missed, but he returned the gesture, though with ore emotion. The dark lad, Faolan came next, settling next to his daughter and stirring a lift of the regal's brows. Kaskara and Kieran arrived next, towing with them their large brood. His bright gaze fell upon them, studying them intricately -- he had not been formally introduced yet, but he had meant to give the family space.. especially now, when all of their skin hung so loosely upon bone-thin forms.
 
The last two to arrive were Mazi and Sawyer, and mentally calculating in his head their numbers, he was pleased to see such a turn out. The only missing soul was Eshe -- and he had known she would not be coming. "Good evening," he began then, his gaze drifting back to study his comrades. "I've called you all here for a quick announcement. I do not wish to keep you for long -- I know we're all tired and hungry." The corner of his mouth twitched at this -- the feeling of unease creeping toward his heart at the thought that the famine may never lift.
 
"First, I felt it important to announce that Kaskara and Eshe have understandably stepped down from our leadership tier to focus upon their puppies -- Kaskara and Kieran, as you can see, have welcomed four bundles in to this world. Eshe is due soon." He paused then, his eyes training upon his sister, and allowing his muzzle to tip toward her in silent gratitude for all she had done for them. He could not imagine having her away from his side as a co-leader.
 
"Goldhawk has stepped up to be your new Beta Male in turn -- something we very much appreciate," he murmured then, his eyes glinting in the direction of the boisterous male as he cast him a small grin. He paused then, allowing for anyone to speak of congratulations, should they so desire to.

"Has anyone had any successes in hunting?" It was then the topic would drift to the famine.
