Teya is still more than welcome at any point <3

Some of the reactions after the meeting had helped to calm Maia down some, but it still felt strange. This had been the first time the entire pack had been involved in picking leadership like this, especially the Auspex role. The very first time, the Ravens had all volunteered, and then they'd all three agreed that Ibis could be the first one to lead the trio. Knowing that not all of your packmates thought you should be the one holding that position was strange, even if she understood that this didn't mean they thought she couldn't do the job. Maybe, from now on, they should do it the way they had before... and the Ravens could choose amongst themselves. The rest of the pack trusted them, so it kind of made sense.

She'd been thinking about it while she hunted, and she'd managed to catch a couple of ducks that she'd given to the kids. Some might be left by the time she got back, but Eljay wasn't there, so she went to find him.

She didn't immediately say anything when she saw him standing and staring out at the lake. She knew he'd hear her approaching as she came up alongside him and gently leaned in, her tail brushing against his affectionately as she did. It was a beautiful view of the sky while it changed and she didn't want to interrupt the magic of the moment just yet.
