Strangely, it is Totem who hears the call first, the pup who normally alerts him to such things oblivious in his dreaming. For a moment, the stallion does not move, debating whether or not to heed the Lady. Will it be worth the effort? He is fairly close, of course, for he would not have heard her otherwise, but even the shortest of distances require energy to traverse, energy that he would prefer to conserve. In the end, however, he steps from their sheltered cave, lightly whisking his tail over Laise to wake him. It is not often that Psyche summons, and he has been meaning to speak with her anyway.
It takes only minutes to reach her, despite his unhurried amble and the way Laise lags behind, and somehow they are among the first comers. Not so unusual, he supposes, considering the close proximity of this hill and the cavern in which they had been resting, but still a slight surprise. He offers a slight nod to those he recognizes before finding a suitable place to wait for the rest, slightly apart, for he has no desire to be in the middle of the herd, and knows that his bonded would not be able to handle all the excitement.
Finally they all assemble, and the meeting begins. Totem only half listens, taking in the important bits and disregarding the rest. The Throat herd is angry, and Psyche has secured a contract with some group called the Grey. Good things to know, and he deems the information worth the trip. At his hooves, the pup whines, too young to understand the concepts of war and mercenaries, but knowing that they absorb the attention of his stallion, a difficult task, and therefore they must be important and terrible things.
They even prompt the stag to speak, after Crowley does, offering his knowledge on the subject of invasions. "Double patrols, station guards near the pass, and be keepin' yer eyes to the skies. Those pegasi won't be needin' tah come by 'oof, not when they can just be flyin' over the mountains."
