N​ó​ttin had been both looking forward to and dreading this announcement. He had spoken with only a couple of members about this, being Tiberii and Sol. The memory of Tiberii's reaction to their engagement still remained vibrant in his mind's eye, fearing that he might instill the same dark feelings she was surely harboring into the others of their pack, their family.

But there was also hope in his heart, hope that this union would bring great happiness in a time of sorrow and grief. And with the possibility of puppies also on the horizon, he was sure that their future would start to look so much brighter. N​ó​ttin joined Dalmatia by her side as they readied themselves for the announcement. As the other members came to their meeting, he smiled upon them all with much gratitude.

Dalmatia finally let her voice fill the void, catching the attention of all those who decided to attend. The sable man watched with keen interest, a softness to his face that was becoming more readily seen by his peers. A softness that was brought out more all thanks to his beloved. At the end of her speech, he caught her loving gaze for just a moment, before letting out his own share of the happy news.

We hope that this can bring a happiness and joy in an otherwise hard and tricky time in our lands. Let it bring hope that light can still shine through the darkness, and bring a much brighter future no matter what comes our way. That love, trust and the strength of our bonds will get us all through anything. N​ó​ttin looked back to Dalmatia in that moment, beyond happy that she was sharing in this moment with him, happy that she was the one that he would share the rest of his life with.
