The Sunspire Rally for the Future

Summer listened quietly as Vienna delegated tasks to each of the wolves, feeling rather relieved as she skipped over him entirely. Perhaps his ploy was working. He felt pleased with that for only a moment as it suddenly dawned on him that soon, everyone would be taking off to hunt and he'd be standing there stupidly behind, not sure who to follow or where to go or what he was supposed to be doing. He supposed he could just stay behind with Jace, but what if the others judged him for his lack of participation? What if Ferdie and Jace were disappointed in him?

The young wolf felt anxiety tighten in his chest like a vice upon his heart. He swallowed hard before deciding to make a move. Head low, he stepped around from behind Amekaze to an empty space somewhere beside her where he'd be in full view of Vienna. He struggled to speak then, unsure of what words even to say for he was not one to typically try and bring attention to himself. With his tongue wrapped around in knots in his mouth, he fell back to simply passing a meaningful gaze between Jace and Vienna, hoping that somehow it would communicate to someone that he was in for the hunt and waiting instruction.
