The dark winged lad watched as the alphess’s eyes looked over his wings…had she not seen wings on wolves here yet? His head cocked slightly, but returned to normal as she spoke. ”Hello, Icarus! We would love to have you here. I do hope you would like and use well the rank of iota. We could use an iota, particularly with several whispers I've heard.” His amber eyes showed excitement…iota. That was a messenger essentially, yeah? He’d certainly have to train up his wings more if that were the case, and get to taking better care of himself, but he agreed to the task. ”I would like that.” His baritones spoke through a smile.

Icarus watched as another wolf came in, this one being a white wolf with several red and black markings, and….ten tails? He spoke himself, his voice much deeper than Icarus’s own. ”My name is Shiranui. I would like to join your pack.” Icarus let his amber eyes dart the opposite way. Shiranui certainly was a pretty type, with his unique markings and all. Icarus on the other hand was just your typical wolf, but he was painted with browns, reds, and some greys, with particularly light feathers on the inside of his wings. The alphess whom Icarus had not gotten the name of then spoke once again. I'm Athena, queen of Sindri. Shiranui, it would be lovely to have you. Tell me, are you more comfortable with sigma, or kappa?” He answered promptly, his voice low. Icarus was not ready to deal with this competition. ”Whatever you desire, lady Athena. My tails grant me the power to manipulate light, so I believe both positions could benefit from such an ability.” Icarus felt the sun’s rays brighten a bit on his fur before they dimmed again…his amber eyes rolled at this showcase.

Icarus heard another wolf come into the picture. ”Hello Shiranui, I’m Sydney, the only present kappa.” Of course this white male responded quickly. ”It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sydney.” If the darker male even had the slightest doubt that he would not have an issue, that doubt was erased. Did Icarus really want to live with such a showoff of a male? Icarus tried to push Shiranui out of his mind as more wolves entered for the meeting. The next wolf to enter was a female with cat like features that looked at Icarus just as he looked at her. Avoiding the eye contact, he looked away again. Athena did the honors of addressing, and this cat girl’s name was Callie. Icarus was polite enough to make eye contact once more and his baritones uttered a greeting after Shiranui’s. ”Hello.”. A wolf named Cato came to the meeting shortly after, addressing the two of them indirectly. Icarus met eyes with Cato and nodded at his smile. Another wolf soon followed suit, one who spoke in a different language. His demeanor also seemed to be more Icarus’s style, at least, as of right now. Icarus just wanted to get away from Shiranui.

Athena announced that the meeting would commence once a wolf known as Hecate arrived, and that she had important announcements. This Hecate character had come into sight, her primarily white body patched with scales, almost like a snake. He did not pick up on her words since he had not been paying the most attention. This was because he saw a familiar wolf in the distance approaching. The fire on her spine…Soliel? His amber eyes glinted with hope, the tip of his tail waving softly as she approached. Icarus thought he saw her look at him, but no words from her were addressed to him. His ears folded down, sad. This wolf was Soliel…why would she just ignore him as such? In his mopey state, he noticed Shiranui’s interest in the femme that had saved him in Ashen Woodlands. The sunlight suddenly became brighter on Soliel, which triggered the small frown on Icarus’s face to turn into a sneer of annoyance directed at Shiranui. Icarus could play this game. He stayed in his spot, like proper pack etiquette would say, but ignored Soliel just as she had done earlier.
