N​ó​ttin was no stranger to this call. Ears perked up with urgency as he heard Aurelia summon the pack. It was time for them to choose their Pillars once more. He took to the trails that would lead him back to their gathering spot, done with his patrols for that early morning. The scents of others were amongst Aurelia already, making him a bit nervous that it somehow already begun.

Blue eyes caught sight of his fellow Pillar as he made his entrance, the sable man taking his spot at her side with a soft and warm smile. He made a respectful nod to her, then sat down and let her speak. For now, N​ó​ttin would remain silent. First he would see what the others had to say. Though it was almost impossible to quell the anxiety he was feeling at the prospect of being replaced. Yet there might be a silver lining there, he told himself. Maybe not being a Pillar wasn't going to be so bad.

Then again, this was his life, his passion. Nothing would make him feel more fulfilled, except for his partner. He just hoped that if he ran for the Pillar of Courage again, she would stand by him and support him completely. Yet he wondered if Euphemia would try her hand at winning over said role. She had him at a tie the last time this vote was cast. Perhaps he would not be so fortunate again to win the pack's favor. Euphemia was their sister after all, and blood ran thicker then water.

I offer myself again for the Pillar of Courage, if the pack will accept me. I know that perhaps I haven't always made the best decisions, but I am willing to learn from any and all mistakes that I may have made. I promise to complete this task to the best of my ability, to give my heart and soul into this no matter what. N​ó​ttin looked to each member for hope and trust, then back to Dalmatia for a moment, locking eyes with her as he smiled his heart out. Oh how he loved her so.
