TOGETHER AS ONE + mandatory meeting

[Atticus Roux]

Tanglewood held meetings monthly, but seeing that Atticus was still young, he had only attended very few. They were usually exciting, promoting his family members or acknowledging those who deserved it. Very rarely did he get mentioned, but whenever he was, the grey tabby felt content. Looking up to Leroy, any acknowledgement from the canine was a pleasure. Even so, he had left that all behind. The Pitt was his new home now, no matter if he had the urge to run back. The group wouldn't accept him. Ivan would just lash out again. Their relationship had been tainted and he couldn't imagine what Selby thought... or even if Moth if she wasn't dead. Needless to say, he felt his stomach turn at the thought. Luckily, recent events within The Pitt and Kydobi's call distracted him from his underlying troubles.

Atticus meandered over, coming to Silentgrave's side. Amber eyes looked over towards the mysterious figure for a moment, only to offer a nonchalant smile. The creature was new, just like him. Despite their frightening appearance, the boy tried to be there and get to know them. Newbies had to stick together. He wished the others would do the same for him too. Even so, he did have to admit that their pointy appearance still horrified him, but he kept that to himself. When it came to Dante though, that hybrid was a dick. He would rather be near Silentgrave than by that asshole.

One and a half ears staggered upwards, listening to the ardent's words carefully. At the mention of his name, a smile curled upon his maw. "Thanks Ky," the boy muttered. He was quick with his words in an attempt to prevent interruption. At Kydobi's expression change, he gave a curt nod. His smile widened. Finally, some proper acknowledgement...

The mention of a new tradition surprised him. Not like he knew their previous traditions anyways. As he listened, his name was brought up again and Kydobi's gaze laid upon him again. Silentgrave clicked beside him, voided eyes turned on him. Atticus hesitated momentarily. Weary orbs stared up at the stage. A new beginning dawned on him and he was reluctant to start his tourney within The Pitt. Even so, he knew it was right. Tanglewood was no longer his home. Mustering up the courage, the grey tabby sauntered up onto the stage and confidently strode towards the jaguar. A smirk appeared. Atticus turned his snout up to the sky and extended his neck forward. With a new beginning in sight, he awaited Kydobi to don the cord upon his neck.
