Blacktail Deer Plateau The show must go on [pack meeting]

Like Saena, Kaihra knew very little of the recent happenings on the Plateau, and if news had passed through the grapevine, her ignorance only proved she was more of a raisin than a grape. So when she heard Dante's summons, she did not rush to the meeting place in eager anticipation, but rather drew herself idly along the Plateau, choosing the path most concealed in her efforts to reach her gathered packmates.

She felt no surprise when she found a large number gathered there already, and she drew up along the outskirts. Her choice to sit nearer the front at their previous meeting had been an anomaly: she felt far more comfortable here, where she could see every happening and slip away like the shadow she was if things chose to get ugly.

Kaihra drew her gaze along those now gathered, giving a small nod to Dante, then Blue Willow, before she passed her fleeting eyes onto the others. Most, if not all, she recognized from previous meetings. She let her eyes flicker quickly over Koda, still embarrassed from their past encounter, and lingered on a wolf she'd never seen before, a frail boy next to the dark man, Lasher. He looked too young to be with them, and his scent carried something... different. Were they taking pups into the pack now? She wondered if this was the reason for Dante's call, but surely he didn't need their approval to bring the child into their midst. There was something else going on, she could feel it in the air, but with all the changes as of late, she found herself growing too apathetic to worry anymore.
