Round Stone Crest i'm holding onto white balloons

For @Kova and @Raela only.
Dated 10/05 - hours before the pack meeting.

After the discussion they'd had, the next logical step was to approach Kova about the subject and discern what the near-adult felt about all of their intentions. With Gent's own mindset, he found it near impossible that the boy would refuse what they had to offer. After all, he could not comprehend a reason why Kova would not want to carry on his parents' legacy and don the mantle of leadership, and certainly would not foresee his and Raela's assistance to be turned down. It was remembered how quickly the youth had turned against him upon the discovery of Minka's death, the blame he'd held within his eyes, yet the man could not know the full extent of the heir's hatred for him, and surely did not anticipate that lending the yearling power but be the same as sharpening an enemy's blade for him.

Therefor, he thought this conversation to be quick and efficient, an easy discourse between the trio. With Raela at his side and her support securely within his arsenal, he lifted his muzzle to the air to send out a call requesting Kova's presence. Even though he still regretted Minka's own presence at his shoulder, he felt as though the pieces that had been scattered by her passing were beginning to fall back into place. They were making the best of this tragedy, he was certain of it.

OOC: @Kova - Yer up!

She was relieved to have heard his agreeance on this matter. It was an important issue that had to be addressed at some point; Kova was his parent's eldest and most suitable heir. It felt right to try and ensure his place as Alpha; at least, to the best of their limited ability. He'd have to best the rest of the hierarchy to even reach second place before absolutely anything could be done; but it would be easy enough if he stuck with the pack for long enough, she admitted to herself bitterly. That was the reason she had been second, after all. They had to find out how to maintain their numbers better than they'd been doing until now. 

Concerns like these were swimming through the new leader's head as they moved to find the eldest Lagina. She could only hope that this suggestion would not draw his anger; that he would not label them traitors for having to leave one day; if everything went smoothly. She had to stay with Gent, and Gent absolutely had to be a leader. He had made that much very clear. While she was sad to know that he could not just stay here and live with them beneath Kova, she understood. Gent had a drive to climb the hierarchy unlike most others she'd ever seen. It was a passion if she ever saw one and there was no way she would put herself in his way. He was good at it too, from what she'd seen. The call rang out, and she glanced up at her companion with a seriousness to her honey eyes. They had to do this now.
