He was only half paying attention as he waited for Gabriel to speak. Talitha appeared and sat next to him, and he returned her grin with his peculiar crinkling of the eyes that never reached his lips. Another coyote showed up and sat next to Tal, and he felt a slight rush of jealousy before realizing the familiarity of his scent-- he must have been some relation of hers, maybe brother. With the arrival of the new male Gabriel began his speech. He followed his eyes to the new third in command, Ryan, as he named her, and gave a light nod to her in congratulations. Something about a Phoenix Valley wolf, now-- a wolf he hadn't a clue of, nor for that matter, his pack. And then Dahlia. Giggle followed the Aquila's eyes, turning his head slightly to glance at the man a little ways away. A small surge of fear rose in him. Was that the drunken man who'd attempted to accost him? He couldn't be sure, but those red eyes seemed so familiar. Quickly the boy looked away, keeping his gaze low. The comments on Dahlia de Mai made him nervous, anyway- he hadn't told anyone about the attack. He couldn't now, because it might have been his fault. He daren't cause any trouble, no sir no, so he'd just keep his pretty little mouth shut.
