"Sunhaven, gather around for a meeting!" The tom called out with a meow, making his way over to the fountain with a swish of his tail. It was strange to think another week passed by, and that there's new information to discuss in this week's meeting.

"First, I'd like to thank everyone for their hard work this week, especially with cleaning up our village and territory. We've made a good amount of progress in repairing them back to normal," He began, as his gaze momentarily looked over the crowd of members to their village. Their home still wasn't completely repaired, but it looked much better than what it originally did when they returned from the mountains. "Also, I'd like to welcome Clarence to Sunhaven," He said as his gaze momentarily looked for the panther in the crowd. It was surprising to hear himself welcome so little new members, hopefully they'll gain some more next week.

"Atticus, the new Astral Seraph, agreed on my offer of neutrality. For now on, the Ascendants are no longer our enemy. I know we've had a difficult past with them, but Atticus has proven to me that he's a capable leader," He mentioned, remembering how Atticus showed Bucky and his goldenbloods their well deserved respect when he initially proposed the idea. Even when Atticus came to announce his clan's decision on the proposal, the panther apologized for the reaction Bucky received-- the panther even mentioned their neutrality was the first step to becoming allies again. It'd take a lot of time before that can be a reality again, though it's still a possibility if everything goes well. "Not long after we became neutrals, the unknown murderer from the Ascendants returned to cause trouble. The murderer ate three of our members at the border, and I brought one of the corpses to the Ascendants to warn Atticus. I trust Atticus when he told me he did not order the attack." As when the murderer was originally going around, they learned that the Ascendants weren't sure who the culprit was, and were trying to prevent them from committing more killings. Plus, Atticus agreed on the neutrality, and even traveled all the way over here to inform him-- the panther and the majority of his clan wants peace just like Sunhaven. "I believe that someone is trying to sabotage our neutrality-- until if and when we catch the culprit, I want everyone to be alert. Do not travel alone, whatever time of day it is."

"The Ascendants are happy to work with us to catch the culprit in their tracks," He finished up this part of the meeting with a serious gaze, "If anyone discovers any leads, make sure to inform me so we can work together to catch them."

"Next, the Typhoon invited us to a secret santa event. There are flyers with information about it in case anyone hadn't heard about their invite," He said, his tail flicking towards a basket filled with flyers that anyone was allowed to grab. "I encourage everyone to go participate and make sure to sign up." Bucky signed up himself, and saw some of his clanmates sign up as well. Though, plenty more of his clanmates should partake in the event, as it is a gift giving event. If more Typhoon members sign up while they don't, the list will be uneven and some people won't get paired. "Weekly tasks are still open for volunteers," He continued, "You do not need to be a high position to host them."

"Our Ambassador program is back up and running. Spots are filling up fast, make sure to grab one before it's too late. New ambassadors, make sure to visit your assigned group if you haven't already." He continued on with a nod of his head, "We also need to brainstorm some events that we can host for our allies," He mentioned, knowing that they have to get more involved with their allies- making ambassador visits with gift baskets are not enough.

"Wendell is demoted to Sunbearer. Venus, I'd like to see you around Sunhaven more often," He moved on, eyes scanning the crowd for the two members. "Fairylights and August-- I'd like you both to step up to Hearthkeeper." Both of them have been doing an exceptional job lately. "Ymir: I want you to step up to Goldenblood," He said with a firm nod of his head, knowing the wolf has proven herself, and that she deserved to step up to assistant deputy. "And finally, I have decided who will be my Warden."

"Bex."

"You've proven yourself to be an outstanding Goldenblood, and I have trust that you will serve Sunhaven well as their Warden." He announced, a few silent moments passing by. Bucky had no doubt in his mind that Bex wasn't fit for the position. Even with her wild nature, she has proven to care about her clan and take her duties seriously. Momentarily, he looked for the border collie in the crowd, before focusing his gaze on the entirety of his clanmates.

"That's all, meeting dismissed!"

―――― At the call of her Uncle, of which Fairylights was beginning to grow used to, the young girl turned and made her way towards the sound of his voice and the usual meeting place. It was funny, in the weeks that she had now been here, she felt more at home. While her relationship with Bucky wasn't as close as it was with her parents, she had to admit that she was beginning to feel more comfortable here. She hadn't forgotten her parents, or what had occured, but at the very least, she was beginning to find some level of peace with it.  She made her way into the crowd quickly and sat down neatly along the side, near the front where she could see and hear clearly, without being squished among the crowd.

It was there that she sat for a very long and informative meeting, neither of them bad things. It was true, Sunhaven had worked really hard this week, and Fairylights was proud. She had helped clean up, at least to the best of her ability, and had watched many of her clanmates do the same. While it maybe still needed a bit more work, she had to admit that this place was looking a lot better as of late. It was even better news to know that the Ascendants were no longer enemies with them, though her ears pressed back at the reminder of those horrible, horrible mangled bodies they had seen on the border. She had been the unfortunate one to see it first, and she hoped that it wasn't going to be something that she'd repeat. But that aside, Fairylights was looking forward to the Secret Santa. She had been paired with a nice-sounding lady from the Typhoon, so she hoped that she would enjoy whatever gifts that she came up with. Ambassadors, too, sounded fun, if Bucky let her do it.

Last but not least, the promotions. While she was sad to hear about the demotions of Wendell, she knew that he was a hard worker and could easily make it back if he wanted to. Her own ears perked however at the sound of her own name, blinking momentarily as it slowly set in that she was being promoted! Promoted! A grin leapt to her face, and she straightened up slightly, slightly proud. "I'll do my best, Uncle!" she called softly, making the best promise that she could. Hopefully, she would be able to keep to it. With that, the meeting was dismissed, and Fairy waited for the crowd to disperse some before making her way out.
