Link hadn't even been aware of who the leader had been before Clarence. He had a vague understanding of the ranks, but they were a lot different than the ones of the Hyrule area. No .. royalty or anything. Just .. a hierarchy. Link doesn't have enough world experience to judge if he likes it or not, so he just decides it doesn't matter. It is how it is.
So, upon hearing the almost-familiar voice of Clarence, the canine's ears prick. A meeting? Unaware of how common these were, Link feels a spark of anxiety. Was something happening? What was wrong? Needless to say, Link got there fast, expression closed off.
And, to be fair, it was pretty big. A leadership change -- who was Atticus? Link has relaxed just slightly, but his eyes stay pinned to Clarence with laser-like focus. He thinks Clarence wouldn't be a bad leader, based on what he knows. And it's only enough for that much. Promotions ... demotions. It was said so casually. Were those common, here? He tilts his head, starts when his name is said. It's jarring to hear it at all -- it's been a long time since he's been among people who care to know it. .. Link lets out a soft chirp-like sound as a thanks. He wasn't aware that the offer to 'stay' was actually for inducting him as a member but .. Link's fine with that, so whatever. He's not sure what promised means in this context, though -- the canine isn't aware of really any of the traditions here at all, honestly. Event announcements .. Clarence is offering to let people go on his visits to the other groups. This gets the canine's attention, as one would suspect it would -- he perks up, ears pricking. He likes adventuring -- and really, it's in his blood to want to go as a bodyguard with somebody important, but he doesn't know this. So, immediately upon Clarence making the offer, Link hops to his paws and barks softly and lifts a single paw in a way that could almost be read as timid. There's no particular place he wants to go -- he doesn't know the other groups. He does want to see them, though. Link wouldn't be much good at diplomacy with his unwillingness to speak, but, y'know, safety in numbers or whatever.

How like Clarence to step up when the group needed him; knowing his track record, the jaguar grinned slightly when she slipped into the meeting. He'd do fine. Long as some idiot didn't convince him to sacrifice himself for the greater good, she supposed; her brother always gave people the benefit of the doubt when they least deserved it. Still, every move he made now made sense.

Smirking as she gave him a salute with her left paw, the witch nodded her acknowledgements to all that information. "Gotcha. I'll tag along to the Typhoon and Rosebloods," she said, flicking her tail. Rumors passed through the group quickly; she heard some variations of the news Ninazu brought, and she wanted to see if that shit was true. As a pagan witch, she'd been accused of satanic witchcraft far too many times. Part of those accusations included sacrificing and eating babies, so hearing that the Rosebloods did that shit and got away with it... practically boiled her blood.
