One by one more and more members came down to the meadow and awaited what Pema would say. With Morningside being such a heavily structured hunting pack she wasn't surprised to hear that this is what they thought they might be gathering for. But Dawn was more geared towards leading the hunting parties for now and as we know, Pema had other plans. She was hoping for a larger turn out, but looking over the croud and giving everyone a friendly smile she realized that they still had a decently sized group on thier hands. And if everyone here was planning on participating it would be a perfect group.

"Hello everyone." she began. "Now, I haven't gather you all here today for a hunt, rather for a different reason." she said clearing up most likely everyone's main question. "It is no secrect that Morningside is a hunting pack, and is not known for having strong fighter. But even though we are not fighters, it is still important that we all know how to defend ourselves if the situation arises." she said and left a few moments of silence for that message to sink in. Many thoughts were roaming around that pack about recent events and current issues with other packs going on around them. And among these thought there was conflicting opinions. But she hoped that at least this message could be agreed upon.

"But I don't want this to be super serious. Morningside is not going into battle anytime soon." she said with a hint of humor in her voice to lighten the mood. "I thought we could all take part in a light hearted pack spar tournament to see where we are all at." she suggest and waited to see what the groups reaction was to the idea.

When it looked like everyone was feeling up for the idea she smiled and began to pair them up. "Ok. For the first round... Keiran you can be with me." Pema had only hunted with Kieran before and hadn't had a chance to spend that much time with him recently. "Shale you can be with Sunny." Both of them were still somewhat new to the pack, even though Sunny had been apart of the pack before, she wasn't sure where they both stood. "Raid... lets have you be with... Dawn." Dawn was far more outgoing then Raid, but Pema hoped that she could be able to bring her out of her shell a bit. "Then Adi you can be with Engel. And Day..." she looked around and realized that they had an odd number. "Umm. You can go against whoever loses their first spar. Give them a second chance." she said with a joking tone.

When it looked like everyone was set up with their partner she answered any remaining questions before headed over towards Kieran.
