"Very well," Fendros said, the initial disappointment disappearing from his face. He wanted to be careful not to shoot towards the camp but he trusted Ahnasha to keep the creature in position. He pulled a few arrows from his quiver and gave a confident smirk. "I'll go first this time, I think."

Janius rook Kaleeth's hand absand stood up with the rest of them. "I think I'm curious as well?" He chuckled with a hint of humility, "Either that or I'm going to have a sudden need to practice more."

They did not have to look very hard for Sabine. They spotted her coming towards them a few moments after Peiter emerged. She was clothed and looking bright, but Meesei knew the smell on her well. Sabine walked up and gave Meesei, Kaleeth, and Janius all a quick hug each as she addressed them. "Hello. Where are the others?"

Gallus' pack meeting started as soon as Peiter joined them. They were seated slightly out of the way, but still close to their's and Meesei's pack's tents. Gallus stood to begin speaking, the gravity of his tone distracting from his strange smell and appearance.

"Alright, so, I wanted to catch up with everyone before sundown, when everyone was still more awake, but this'll have to do." Gallus took a deep breath. "I will not paint a false picture for you all. This battle tomorrow will be the largest that any of you have been involved in. It will be more spread out than Bruma. If you are on the field to fight, it is unlikely that you will not fight. Given the danger that we will be stepping into, I want to be absolutely sure that everyone is ready. Those of us going in will be sticking together, no exceptions but on my orders. Keep your defences raised, stay in formation, and most of all...do what you always do; look out for one another."

Gallus gave a moment for the words to sink in before he continued. "Now, it stands that we couldn't have known to get into anything of this scale when we left Bruma. It's frankly unfair for me to drag you all into this. However, I wouldn't do it if I didn't think any of you were capable. As well, you're my pack. I care about you all. I, and those around you, shall do their utmost to keep you safe. This battle means a lot to many fellow lycans." Gallus nodded to one side. "That said, if any of you no longer wish to take part tomorrow --" Gallus pushed his upturned palm through the air, "-- now's the time. If you have any general concerns as well, now's the time."

Tzirret knew that he was already staying out of the fight, so he just wrapped his arms around his knees and kept quiet.

Uthri was the first to answer. "You honestly think I'd let you blunder in there without me?" She said with a cheeky grin, "You should be asking [i]me[/i] to lay your head in my lap and sing you calming words, you great baby!"

Gallus gave Uthri a knowing chuckle. He expected nothing less from her. Gallus then looked over to Peiter and Irenya. Gallus in particular commented to Peiter. "Now, Peit, we've already had the discussion about why you can't be next to Sabine in this battle, but how are you holding up? Are you alright with this?"
