The two leaders, one off-white and one pale grey with both silvery hued eyes sat firm on the other side of the kill while their pack members filtered in from the den opening. The first to come, just after Ravenna's short call, was not from the pack den at all however as Blackmoore came to them from what seemed like one of his runs. Ravenna, as surely other members in the ranks (prodominately the others taking up guarding) had noticed that the dark coated male usually worked the borders at night which gave Blitz the time needed to stay with his pups overnight. At the silent dip of his head in greeting Ravenna offered the same and then turned her attention to the den as Adeltra and Leotie came out. She moved her blood stained muzzle into the dark fur of Adeltra's nape as she greeted her and then as she moved on to Sven, Ravenna offered Leotie a smile in greeting who, like Blackmoore, entered the gathering silently. Next to come out was Blitz and she could see the four children behind him struggling to get their bearings now that their parents were leaving the den. To Blitz' words she couldn't help the smirk which touched her expression. "Well if you don't think you deserve it..." She toyed, lifting up one of her front leg to place it over the middle of the ram as though to pretend to pull it away from him though her ovements were cut short by the tug back on the ram and then the little howl of her son who greeted the sunset. Her scruffy tail drags back and forth along the forest floor of her home at the display of her son as she then watched Enia exit the den to which she offered her a dip of her muzzle in greeting two.

Then Enoki arrived out from the side of the gathering group who mostly came out from the communal den. Enoki must have found settlement away from the rest of the pack though Ravenna said nothing about it, not now, even if she had thought she would have been content to sleep in the main den along the side of her daughter. "Not late at all. We're still waiting for a few members to get here. " Reiko had still not arrived as we as Lilith and Emmaline. If anything perhaps Lilith had went out on an early search for food with her protege in tow. It only took a few more moments for the other three wolves to arrive. Reiko came along from the side, perhaps on a patrol in the same manner which Blackmoore had been and then came out Lilith and Emmaline from the den, tiredness still on their eyes as they were woken to the new dawn of day as the sky lite up with color. Ravenna had not expected the pair to still be slumbering, which caused a smirk to move over her expression. Her silver eyes fell on the yearling whom whispered to Lilith of what was going on and she cleared her throat, ready to begin.

"Sven and I felt as though a pack meeting was long overdue and that a gift to our members was warranted." A paw lifted to place itself on the kill before them as her attention shift between each of her group. "Willow Ridge has lived on and prevailed through six summers now and today we will celebrate the memory of all those who helped build it and make it strong." Not including the four children, eleven grown wolves were before her, numbers which neither her nor Sven had seen since the days of Elettra Archer and Angier Lyall's ruling. If her parents were looking down on them now, she knew they'd be proud. "We have some ground rules and announcements to cover before we can all eat and mingle."

She shift her eyes to Sven at her side before back to her pack to continue. "As many of you know, Sven and I are age-mate aunt and nephew. It is due to this that two litters were born this Spring. Though next Spring is far from now, let's not get it twisted that only Sven and I along with our chosen partner, may have puppies." As of right now those chosen were Leotie and Blitz and the partners which her and Sven so trusted had seemed like the best choice as of yet. They were respected members of the ranks and close friends. They could be counted on. Of course things could change for next year though it was a discussion to be saved for much later. "As it stands, there may be some of you that only joined the pack for protection and shelter. Not many enjoy induring the winter alone and the influx of coyote in the area has made loner life ever more challenging. We only ask that you make your intentions known to your leaders and work hard like everyone else to insure our survival while you are here. When you leave, let us know, for abandonment will not be tolerated and you will not be allowed back for the next go around." Ravenna was completely understanding that many of the members before her would not be here for the rest of their lives. Perhaps some had intention of traveling, to view what all Relic Lore had to offer or even beyond this region to lands far beyond. Maybe some planned to later on rekindle with family or even perhaps create a new family of their own. Either way, simply allowing the Leaders to know their plans was all they asked. Keeping connected, working , was what it meant to be Pack after all.

"Now down to the fun part..." She said with a smirk. "I'd like to accounce roles to the females of the pack who had worked diligently to receive these titles." Her eyes then settled themselves on Leotie, as they should. She had been here the longest, had been a very active and trusted member in their pack and had asked for this position a time ago. Though in many eyes of the pack she had already been a Scout amongst them, the official title was well overdue. "Leotie will be holding the position of Lead Scout, as this is a position she has proved herself worthy of far more times then I can recall. Along her side will be Adeltra," She continued as her eyes fixed on the yearling. "who will be a Scout of our ranks as well." Her eyes then fixed themselves of Lilith, for although she had little one on one conversations with the woman and did not know her as well as she may have otherwise hoped, the woman even if she did keep to herself prodominately, had done her job consistently and affectively. "Lilith has been far successful at not only keeping our caches filled with smaller prey, but keeping track of the large game herds for us and as such, will be given the role of Huntress." She smiled to the dark woman and then turned away only to allow her eyes to settle upon Enoki. The elder woman had only just recently arrived after spending so much time away searching for her daughter. She still had much rest to gain, meat to build on her bones, but after all she had done for the pack, she was rightfully so not just some elder to be swept under the rug, thought to be of no use. "Enoki," Her expression was soft for the woman, whom, had she not been there to guide her in her youth after her parents died, might not have been where she was at now. Ravenna and Sven were still young and now with new pups, surely they could use more guidance yet still. "I would be honored if you would accept the role of Consul." Silence would then befall the silver Queen, awaiting the piebald woman's answer before then turning to side-glance at Sven, leaving the floor open for him to speak.
