[b]Perenelle [/b]

When Amelia took her seat, an awkward sideline fell before the table. Perrie let the suspense hang and smirked, turning her attention away. The young girl could sit on pins and needles. Fianlly, Xander spoke once more and redirected the attention anyway.

Perrie watched with amusement at the reactions from the beta wolves. Their instant replies made her smile. She looked over at Xander after he spoke then around. She saw hesitation and stared with a scowl. "[b]Go on  then[/b]," she urged wit an impatient wave of her hand. She sighed in relief at the first speaker: Faith- a bright-eyed bushy-tailed pink haired menace. 

"[b]Well, Vanitas and I are in[/b]," she replied cheerfully, nodding to her twin brother sitting beside her. 
The dark-haired young male with twinkling blue eyes nodded. "[b]I could go with seeing the Big Apple."[/b] Vantias agreed and high-fived his sister. She watched as others joined in and nodded. 

"[b]All-right, Black Wolf; this is your group[/b]." She nodded to Xander and looked back to the others. A few had stumbled over responding but she didn't pay mind to it. They would go whether or not they liked it. At least the twins were willingly volunteering.

Her attention was grabbed again by seeing Amelia. She smiled pleasantly at her despite the animosity brewing. "[b]Amelia, please clear the table and then go to your room afterwards. I will have a guard check on you to make sure you're in there. Black-Wolf, you can come with me[/b]." She excused herself from the table and dismissed the others with a wave of her hand.

[b]Drake[/b]

Drake thanked Adelaide. He paused, then nodded. He gritted his teeth and grunted as he stood up. Black dots danced across his vision and he reached out to grab Addie's arm. He shook his head with a deep sigh. "I'm okay, I'm okay, hold on..." He took a deep breath and then fully lifted himself up and let go of her. "I'll take you back to my camp," he told her in an undertone and grunted again. The son of a bitch wound was going to take a while to heal. He scrambled to think of a way to help it heal fast and sighed. The medicine... He had some left at camp, right? "Come on, My Laide."
