His first meeting of being in the group, and Ryder would remember it well. He had heard nothing from his father of leaving, no offer for Ryder to come with him, no goodbyes, nothing. The first - and possibly last - time he would ever hear about his father leaving would be here in this meeting made by some stranger that spoke out towards all those who could hear them, all who attended here. Of course, if Leroy had his reasons to leave Ryder couldn't question him, nor could he question the fact of whom was chosen to be the leader in his place. Father Leroy may have been to him but they had yet to have bonded enough to be able to call each other dad and son. Though he'd been happy enough to finally be able to meet his father, it seemed as though Ryder - and any other siblings he still had wondering around the island - were finally orphans at last, whether they knew it or not.
Ears pinned to his head for but a moment before Ryder would look up towards the yellow hued feline once more, watching as demotions were announced, congratulations given, and plans were given out. He didn't care about any of it to be fair. Knew not of who each member here was, hadn't been around long enough or active enough to know about them. Maybe one day he'd learn of each of those names, whether it be in stories told by old members or even meeting them himself.
Though he would speak out, at last, before the meeting was done and over with, a simple question that he was curious as to the reactions he would elicit not to mention the response he would receive from the new General himself. "Why not let the Pitt know too? Of my fathers departure and the new leader Tanglewood has. I'm sure there's still some sour notes left from there..."
