N​ó​ttin remained silent as each wolf came forward, some offering up themselves for a pillar, others moving forward with a vote. The sable man came forward, happy that so far, there was no objection to him keeping his role as the Pillar of Courage. But now he had a choice to make, a vote to cast. Euphemia had put herself up in the running for the Pillar of Wisdom, causing some difficult emotions to stir within him. But like Aurelia had said, he had to think with his head and not his heart.

I cast my vote to Aurelia for the Pillar of Wisdom. I simply trust her with such an important position, her judgments and actions in tough situations. It is not a matter of the heart that guides this decision, only my gut intuition. For the Pillar of Power, I vote for Tiberii. I have known her far longer and have been through hell and high water with her. I trust her with my life and with the lives of our family. No faults to Brynhild, I would gladly vote for her to have a role as second in position if Tiberii would agree to it.{/q]

N​ó​ttin took a moment to acknowledge each of them, taking a moment to gather himself once more before meeting eyes with Vidarr. [q]Vidarr, I have the utmost respect for you and trust in you. If I do keep the position of Pillar of Courage, would you be my Second? Would you guide me as my right hand? A kind expression showed upon his face, eyes remaining on his comrade to gauge what his response would be and hoping that the large wolf would take him up on such an offer.
