Elijah kept his gaze low while Austin spoke to him. Not in submission, but because he was listening to everything else going on in the house. "I'll sit down soon. Thank you." He murmured, glancing up at him and nodding. But apparently he wasn't having that. A small, defensive growl escaped him as he was pushed towards the couch. He wasn't a doll. He could move himself. But he sat next to Morii anyways, his jaw tight. Austin only meant well. He wasn't trying to be rude. He assured his wolf, but the tenseness didn't leave his body. "I'm fine." He mumbled, carefully pushing the mug back into Austin's hands. "Gather everyone here. We're going to discuss today's events."

Christopher blinked, a mix of curiosity and confusion filling his eyes. Then it was gone in a flash, and he was once again beaming down at her. "You're very welcome, Tika." He could get used to those eyes. Without another thought, he pressed his lips against the tip of her nose and picked her up bridal style. "Our pack." He smiled at her correction and walked out of the room and towards the living room. "Hello." He called to everyone, a bright grin on his face. "This is Tika. Tika, this is pack. Elijah, Morii, Rory, Riley, Evans, pups, Aurora, Selia, Cira, Damon-- Food!" He set Tika to her feet and ran up to Damon, now as a wolf. He just stood there glancing expectantly at the boy then at the food, his tail wagging full force.
