The bonds of pack

Next round starts June 21 - tagging for reminders. @Issun @Chaska @Mason @Bindi @Ryuu @Tatum

The pack wolves arrived, and FitzDutiful greeted each and every single one of them. Once again, Chaska asked what the meeting was about but Fitz explained he wanted to wait until everyone arrived. Bindi was the last, for it seemed Ryuu and Tatum weren't in the vicinity for some reason. Tatum made sense, she might have left the lands and FitzDutiful hadn't howled loud enough for it to reach across the valley but Ryuu rarely left the pack lands at all. Still, he turned his attention to the now.

"Thank you all for coming." he said, looking at each of his family members with a smile, lingering slightly on Bindi - pleased she had come - "Today I wanted to formally introduce our younger members, Mason and June. They're at an age, or will be shortly, when they should start to specialise in trades and making themselves valuable, contributing members of our pack. I wanted to talk to you all about gaining specialisation as well."

He paused for a moment, letting it sink in. He hadn't talked to the pack about trades for a long time but he wanted his pack members to aim for something higher. Not only did it hold them higher in his eyes, but if they ever wanted to move onwards it would make them valuable to another pack too.

"What progress have you had in trades - and if none what trades would you like to learn?" he asked of everyone. Bindi already had one trade under her belt, the outrider, and he knew Chaska was working towards his chronicler trade. Of Issun he knew little and, although he had talked to his children about trades in general, he wondered what aspirations they had.
