"No, I do not." Ayumu turned again and ran down the road.

Patrice stood there after he left, watching him go. She then sighed, turned back into a vulture and flew up into the air again, above the buildings.

(Sorry, i havent been online)

Alba sailed into the clearing, folding her wings and landing. She stared at Alto for a minute before ducking her tiny head, "evening your greatness. I am sorry for my delay, school forced me to go to the meeting."

(Sorry for the late reply, everyone!)

Alto looked at the two new arrivals. Well, we can at least try to train him. It'll definitely take a while for him to finish, though. he thought. He turned to Alba. "You don't have to call me that, you know. It's fine, we're still waiting on Alanah. Have you seen her?"

Alanah padded out from the other end of the clearing in wolf form. "Hah!" She said triumphantly. "I was there the whole time! You didn't sense me, did you?"

Alto glared at Alanah, not impressed. "I didn't, but you're late. Please have a seat, we're about to start." Watching her sit down politely, he then addressed to everyone, "I called you all here today for a couple of reasons. First, our new wolf, Waylon, does not have a mentor yet." He turned to Waylon. "Waylon, which rank do you wish to train for?"

Alba fluffed up her feathers and turned to Waylon. "An apprentice healer would be appreciated," she stated, "however there are many pathws to choose."
