The lioness barely lifted her gaze upon the initial bout of cheers, taking in Meteor's appearance only when he leapt onto the obsidian. Even then her eyes barely stayed on him when Vale took off and she followed the crow through the sky for a moment. In the midst of the second set of cheers in response to Meteor's words, she pulled herself from her lounging position and her jaws stretched wide in a yawn rather than adding to any of the noise. She was sure grateful to have survived the event when she knew those who didn't, but she wasn't sure she was all that excited about it.
Knox carefully stretched her limbs as the new reigning Pharaoh continued on in his speech, shaking her mane out and sitting back to finally rest her eyes back on Meteor. The devastation they faced was harsh, but an important course that had to take its place. Where it temporarily puts them in a period of rebuild and hungry mouths, it did its part in giving them something to feed on while it could and now the parts of the deceased would carry on to supply them where it was necessary. It would bring them together to work and resettle into new places within their social circle. Some, like Knox, hardly made much more of an appearance but a face in the background before, now she had a real reason to step up and offer what she could.
That was what it was truly grateful for when it came to its own survival.
And by the sounds of the meeting, it could first... plant seeds. Well, not everything could be horribly heroic or a large gesture, they all had to start somewhere. She took note of the idea of capturing those that could help. A sound idea, but she wasn't sure how much she'd go poking around looking for one. She would much rather wait for the chance at a raid, looking forward to her own preparation for that possibility. And finally, the speech was coming to an end and that's where it really stood out to her. A chance to be given a task directly from the Pharaoh, to prove itself as he said, was exactly the thing it hoped for from their current predicament.
Knox moved forward a few paces from her original position near the outskirts of the crowd, watching Kole for just a moment before looking toward Meteor once more. There wasn't much to her tone, while she was eager to help she wasn't one to give much in the way of outward emotion. "I also am willing to take on a task, whatever is needed of me at the moment."
