Silvertip Mountain Family Always

Stupid stomach bug's caused this to be late, sorry about that!

Everyone was quiet while FitzDutiful spoke. He looked towards Bindi when he mentioned her sister he wondered if there would be a reaction but he didn't see anything. From her nor Raissa. Did neither of them mind about the desertion that had occurred? Things were getting tough and FitzDutiful wasn't sure what to do about it. Was this all down to him? Was he a rubbish leader? These things were beginning to fly through his mind but he carefully boxed them all away before the others reacted to his question.

Chaska had seen one wolf and pushed her off without a fight, FitzDutiful nodded to his response. He was pleased that Chaska had gone out of his way to protect the lands. Ryuu seemed to be falling ill when FitzDutiful cast his eyes onto her. She was shivering and he frowned in concern but then she began to speak. "I'm afraid I was more concerned about being attacked than focusing on her appearance. Maybe so. If you want to know for sure than Bindi might be willing to scout around for you?" he glanced between Bindi and Ryuu to get an idea of whether she'd agree or not.

Neither Bindi nor Raissa had anything else to add to the protection and he decided to move it onwards once the Bindi/Ryuu/Rain situation was resolved satisfactorily for now.

"Due to the desertion we are low on members." It didn't help that he was still fearful that Raissa would leave if he failed to forgive her. "From the next full moon until the one afterwards I want everyone to focus on recruitment. To entice you to participate there will be an automatic promotion for any one who manages to recruit a lone wolf into our pack." It was a risky business but he hoped it would pay off. The promotions wouldn't extend into leadership - that was common sense - but it may be enough.

He had thought about this long and hard. It might backfire horribly, but it could pay off. The pups would be able to be left alone when the moon hit - the human date of May 3 - giving Raissa as much of a chance as the others. He didn't expect Ryuu to recruit but she was being given as much of a chance as the others and could look after the pups when Raissa was out. Now he waited for their reactions. "Any questions?"
