Word Count :: 527 Valk is coming with Nathan, Wratih, and Lucille. I also pped Cotl Ulrich being there because he's my NPC and he'd be one of the first people there since he lives right in the mansion.
She dreaded this day. This meeting. Why? Because the children would finally learn of their father's death, if Ezekiel would mention the death of one of the oldest members of the clan. She hoped to the gods that he would let this one slide, but she didn't think that he would. She almost knew that he wouldn't. She grew more and more nervous as the time had gone by. She had not responded to the call at first, but the fact that each of the three children had come up to her proved it to be hard for her to ignore it. They were urging her to get ready to go. The human-like luperci had twiddled her thumbs a bit and then she called to her birds for comfort. Hextor had been the first to show, seeing as he was closer than Muerte, but the female owl was not too far behind. They both cooed to the woman, asking her what was wrong, and she cooed back to them, telling them that she did not know what was going to happen at this meeting, and if the children would still like her or not, since she had been withholding a vital piece of information from them. Hextor was supportive of the woman's decision to keep the death of their father a secret from the pups, but Muerte was another story. She had been angry at the ochre and fallow woman because of her actions. There was little Valkyrie could to now. Everything was about to come fumbling down..Including her.
She kept her mouth shut and sent the two owls off in the direction of the meeting. They flew, one behind the other, and Valkyrie admired their beautiful forms as they flew away. She did not hesitate further. She got on her kimono and she had started to walk along with the children. They sensed that something was wrong with the normally happy ochre woman, but none had dared to ask what was wrong with her. She was glad. She sighed lightly as she walked along, trying to hide her worry, and her disgust with herself. Luckily, they were not too far from the gardens in which the meeting would be held. There was a gathering around the sole leader. Where was Sage? Valkyrie bit her bottom lip and then she moved to where she was close to Myrika. Mimi made her feel better, just her presence really, and Valkyrie had grown slightly attached to the woman because of this. She pointed her large ears at the woman and smiled solemnly. Hi, Mimi.. she whispered to the Lykoi woman and she nodded her head lightly to Ezekiel and then she looked at all of the other attendees. There was her cousin, Zana, Symmy, and then some male she did not know. She also noticed that the Imaginifer, Cotl Ulrich was within the group to show themselves. Her children had all stayed together, and not too far away, and her owls had found a high perch in which they could watch the meeting, the two being relatively close to Valkyrie and each other.
