A large smile was pasted on the Soles slightly parted jaws as he escorted the golden lady he could call friend into the Courthouse. It was an extremely pleasant surprise to have heard her call at their boarders and it was entirely his pleasure to welcome her into the Fort. Kingsbury Fort was a restricted portion of Casa di Cavalieri as Anann and Jazper had made it clear to all members from the beginning that the Fort was a safe haven for members only, the exception being guests with Leadership permission. The honor was not something the Leadership gave out freely but the warrior beside him had earned his trust through many meetings and the acceptance of himself and Wayne into her pack lands. Due to her kindness Jazper would not dare turn her away.
The two traveled in their seuci forms made their way across the floor of the torch lit main hall. The bright sun shined through large windows but the hall required extra help and the natural firelight lit up the walls and added a fiery reflections which dances happily throughout the day and night. He led their guest to sit just outside of the courtroom doors. Motioning for her to take a seat beside him the halfling leader released a call for the members to join them in the Great Hall.
It took time for members to make their way in and while they waited Jazper quietly continued to speak to X’yrin about the Casa and ask how Ichika was fairing. Finally it seemed as though most members had arrived and the large beast took a step forward clearing his throat as to silence those who were mid conversation. His expression was nothing short of excited and full of happiness as he spoke, Cavalierites, we gather here today to welcome the Ichika no Ho-en leader, X’yrin, who has decided to join us as a special guest. Turning his head he motioned for her to take a step forward. X’yrin is a friend of mine and allowed Wayne to train with her and stay in Ichika to strengthen our relationship with her members. She also welcomed me into her lands where I was able to meet some of her members. He allowed the information to settle in and his members to take in the presence of the other seuci beside him. You are all expected to make her feel as welcome as she was to Wayne and I.
His brain wandered to the next item on his list of things to share with the pack. The news he was about to deliver was something that Anann and him had been talking about putting in place for sometime now but had only recently decided to make official. Casa was young but it had survived it's first winter and their numbers were growing thus landing them in need of focusing on their base culture. Furthermore, it will be mandatory that all Casa di Cavalieri members receive at least basic training. You should all work towards a basic knowledge of some weapons as well as defensive techniques for your more feral forms. The Sole fell silent giving the members a moment to speak their minds or to leave as they pleased.
