"TALKING" || "TELEPATHY"
( recap at the bottom! )
Rhinestone felt a soft chuckle bubble up from his chest at Medusa's comments, unable to truly disagree with her. He certainly felt more confident, and it wasn't hard for him to tell why. After all, how could he be so nervous and insecure, when he had actually faced death and come back? The hybrid's words also emboldened him to continue on, nodding his head firmly before he spoke, "If everyone else is in agreement, then I believe this will be a change for the better. It's pretty clear that Starclan no longer cares for us, if they ever really did. We shouldn't continue to worship them and sing their praises, not if they'll only bring us grief." He shook his head from side to side, his jaw briefly clenching before he let out a sigh, "In addition to that... I should go over our regular meeting business. I'll need some time to recuperate after such... unpleasant events, but we can't just come to a stop because of me." His belief was still firm in that, even after what had happened. He would no longer push himself to death, but the group still came first, no matter what.
He glanced downwards for a moment, pitch black eyes thoughtful as he went over what he had planned for this meeting before everything happened. Eventually he made a soft noise of affirmation, nodding his head before he continued, "Ranks... no demotions this time. Things have been pretty stressful, so I don't think that'd be fair. Although, Quasar, I would like to see you around a bit more. In terms of shout outs, I'd like to shout out Medusa, Vaas, and Dovah. You're all doing very well, and I'm glad to see you around. Dovah, I'm interested in making you a senior warrior at some point, but I'd like to give you some time to adjust to your new circumstances. I don't want to put more pressure on you." It didn't seem right, promoting the other immediately after such a horrific event that had left him blind. Sighing softly, the serval then moved on, his eyes lighting up a bit, "It took me some time to think about these, since I didn't want to cause any undue stress... however, both of you have been around a great deal, and I think you deserve it. So, Foamkit, Drifting, I'd like the both of you to be waverunners." He searched the crowd for their faces, wondering if they were even present. He hoped they were, since they both deserved it. And if either found that it was too much, then they could always step down.
Eyes once again scanning the crowd, Rhine's smile then grew even more as he spoke, "We also have a couple of newcomers to welcome into the group. So, everyone welcome [member=16650]Onyxkit[/member] and [member=16707]Cherry Noriaki[/member]. We're glad to have you here, and hope that you can make this a great new home, even with the occasional bout of... excitement, shall we say." Hopefully, the amount of stressful things happening would wind down in the coming days, and they'd all be able to take a moment to breathe. He almost snorted at the thought, knowing that it was unlikely to be true. After a brief shake of his head, the feline continued, "Recent and upcoming events... well. Medusa is doing some training for the upcoming raid. Vaas is also holding a hunting patrol to help with our prey supply. Finally, I'm going to be holding a battle plan discussion, so that we're all ready for the raid with the Coalition. Be sure to try and attend if you think you'll be joining the raid." There was a lot to discuss there, but this meeting was already getting kind of long, and Rhine wanted a bit of time to rest. Just enough to regain his bearings.
Activity. He hadn't been around for some of it, but he knew that it was good. Could feel the thrum of discussion in the air, as well as the general antsy vibe in the air as the raid grew ever closer. It caused him to smile, since he knew that they were in a good place, and would hopefully continue to be now that he was back. He took a deep breath inward before he said, chuckling, "Overall activity has been great, as always. I know I sound like a broken record at this point, but I really am grateful for you all, and so glad to see you all around so much." Feeling the sense of drowsiness cause his eyelids begin to droop, Rhine knew that he needed to wrap things up. He concluded with a hum, lifting his chin as he spoke, "Lastly, more changes may be coming in a couple of weeks. Nothing as big as this, but perhaps some rank name changes, as well as the specifications of what we do. I've realized that some of our ranks don't really fit as more generalized things, and some have to be altered with us breaking off from Starclan. In addition to this, I'm hoping to choose a new deputy very soon. So, if you're interested, keep your eyes out and stay active. And helpful, obviously. With all that said... meeting dismissed." With everything on his mind out in the open, the dark eyed serval jumped down from the meeting rock, coming to a bit of a clumsy landing down below. He didn't retreat into his den just yet, so that anyone who wanted to talk to him was able to do so.
