There was a pretty good guess at what all the commotion was about. Cassius returned his sister's call with a howl of his own, a blond form trotting through the brush as quickly and effectively as he could. Dalmatia had meant a great deal to him, having found him again after he had been taken the second time. She would always be there for him, so he would be there for her. As soon as he entered the meeting, blue eyes could see the happy pair sitting next to each other in front of the others. Cassius hadn't really known the new Pillar of Courage personally, but did appreciate all that he had seemingly done for the pack. Most importantly, he greatly appreciated how happy he made his beloved sister. Cassius came up to Dalmatia next, a happy yet shy smile on his face.

Congratulations, Dal. I'm so happy for the both of you. I wish you both great happiness for all eternity. As he turned to find his place within the crowd however, he took notice of what looked like a white haze appearing before them, just barely visible behind the rest of them. Aurelia and Tiberii were standing in front of her, Isaiah not far behind. No, it just couldn't be. Mother? Is it really you? Cassius froze up, not sure whether he could approach her. His legs and feet began to shake, ears folding back against his head until they were no longer visible. Why here? Why now? This was just all too much for him to bare, for his heart to handle.
