Sleeping Dragon bone tongue

Sorry for the delay! If @Portia could reply first (if she hadn't replied by Wednesday, feel free to fall in as normal. Please reply by next Wednesday, October 19th. @Wildfire @Dio @Hush @Rebekka @Rosalyn @Goliath @Mojave @Freyja @Eske @Thyri @Hvitserk

Most of the wolves speak up for Freyja and Thuringwethil watches each one, though the puppies tend to blend in with the rest of them. They have grown, but their lack of voice doesn't pull her attention and she likes that, for the most part, the meeting has started off on a decent note and for the rest to be delivered just as smoothly.

"Next, I wish to honor Dio as someone that has been here almost since the beginning of our new endeavor and has proven himself to take the title of Wocha, the leader of our warriors. Our trained army may be small but I have no doubt he will be able to strength what we have and continue to shape for the future," she says, glancing once toward Dio to invite him a step closer before she looks out upon the rest of the wolves on their acceptance. Or objections.

She expects little backlash, if any, and so once things settle a second time, she moves on.

"Some of you know, and some of you don't, but we bear the mark of those whose life we have taken," she begins, carefully looking over those that do not know their customs. "We carry the weight of what we have done so that it will make us stronger. A life was taken on the borders a few weeks ago, someone that antagonized use near our beginning, and as a result, Heda is to be marked in front of her wolves. Portia?"

With her, she'd prepared the same thing she had with Wildfire. The bloodied, jagged rock she'd cleaned as much as she could, and the same supplies she had nearby, and if the woman was ready, she can begin.
