Iris made her way into the master hall with a smile on her face, but then again, that wasn't really anything to be surprised about, the fem was practically all smiles all the time. For her, not all too much had changed since the last time she had been here, well, except for her little promotion to Acolyte, but she didn't think that was all that important. The moment her eyes landed on Jaelynn, the husky broke into a sprint straight for her, looking as if she would barrel straight into the larger wolf, slowing down a tiny bit only when she was a few feet away, and only after she realized that going at full speed might hurt her aunt. "Auntie Jaelynn!" she cried out, diving forward in an attempt to tackle the Lady into as tight a hug as she could possibly managed. She was always so happy to see her family, plus she had heard that her aunt had visited The Sanctuary while she had been out, so she had to make up for that missed meeting!

Alright, so Iris had been a little bit late to the meeting, but hey, at least she managed to get there just in time to catch the end of Frisk's first sentence, imagine if she had missed the entire thing, that'd be pretty embarrassing! Taking a seat, the canine happily hummed to herself, an upbeat little tune that she felt fit this meeting perfectly, and swayed to her own music as she listened to the announcements coming from the totally awesome thing her leader had been using lately to make their voice so loud and reverberate-y. When they mentioned the whole safety from the storms and fortification thing, she had been ready to cheer, but had stopped when she had noticed the clouds above starting to darken a bit. "Uh....Frisk?" she had started to say, before suddenly stopping and clamping her paws over her muzzle. This was a meeting, she really shouldn't be interrupting, and besides, Frisk would totally notice what was going on soon, or someone else would speak up once everything was said and done.

The loud crack and boom of thunder startled her, and she watched as a bolt of white snaked down from the skies and struck a tree, forks of burning white streaking across and through the wood, fire igniting in their path. The moment the husky heard that awful creaking and splintering, the moment that old pine started to tilt, she was already in motion, scrambling for the edge of the clearing, almost tripping over her own paws in her attempt to avoid the falling tree. A crash, followed by billowing, suffocating smoke filling the clearing. Ducking down and giving a few coughs to clear her lungs, Iris waited for the smoke to clear, and turned to face the destruction. She really was fortunate, if she hadn't moved as quickly as she had, or if she had frozen up for even a moment, she wouldn't have come out of that without injury, and it was possibly she might have even lost her life. Eyes darting around the now devastated clearing, the fem searched for survivors, for the injured, she needed to help, to do something, she couldn't feel pain, not like they could, and that made her feel all the guiltier. What was she doing, her clanmates were suffering out there, she needed to do something, anything to assist, and even if some fires still lingered, what was a little heat to someone who couldn't even feel it?

Music was something that Iris had never been very talented in, at least, beyond a little bit of humming and some mumbled lyrics to songs she already knew. Still, that just meant she appreciated music, as well as those who created it, all the more. They had to be talented to create such lovely noise, to make something that could move the hearts of so many, far more talented than she could ever hope to be. As the sound of music wound its way through the camp, drawing her in with its strange beat, and the equally odd instrumentals that accompanied it. She didn't exactly have a favorite genre of music, she had liked just about everything she had ever heard, but she found herself especially liking...whatever this was. "Wow, what is that! Er, the music i mean, not the boombox, i've never heard anything like it!" If she had to put a word to this music, it would have to be unnatural, the sounds just weren't like anything she had ever encountered before, and while she could almost recognize some of the instruments in it, they sounded so much different then they should have

Get Frisk and the rest...get Frisk and the rest...alright, alright she could do that! She just needed to get as many survivors as she could and move them away from the fire, sure, that was easy enough! While she couldn't spot her leader through the smoke just yet, she was able to make out the form of Project as well as Jello, the later taking care of the former at the moment. So many were injured, and yet, she was fine, a little shaken and covered in a bit of soot spread by the crush of the falling pine, but uninjured. It should have been her, she should have pushed someone out of the way, done something, anything but just run away, if she could have just spared someone of the suffering they were now forced to bear, then maybe she wouldn't be feeling so much guilt. Continuing to scan through the smoke, the husky's eyes landed on someone who was laying unconscious a short distance away from her, and they...they weren't looking too good.

Iris was at their side in an instant, and the damage was looking even worse up close, cuts and gashes, puncture wounds from where branches had gotten him, and that was just what she could see. "Sky, hey, you alright...right stupid question, of course you're not!" she managed to say, giving a few coughs afterwards to clear out her lungs a bit, this really wasn't looking good, not at all. She couldn't move him either, not with him being as injured as he was, she'd just make things worse if she did, shift his no doubt broken bones out of place, maybe cause them to puncture something important. "Sky, come on, i dunno if you can hear me or not but just try to hold on! JELLO!! I could really use some help over here!" The canine was staunching the bleeding as best she could, but with only her own paws to do so she was having a rather hard time, she really should have stuck with that idea to make her own medicine bag like Jello, if for no other reason than to treat her own injuries, when she eventually noticed she had them that was.

The odd scent of spices was what had drawn Iris towards the visitor, it totally wasn't because she had been hoping to try and snatch all those baked goods and any sweets for herself, that would be absurd! Taking a seat, the mostly grey husky gave the dingo a bright smile, one filled with a mixture of joy and excitement, as if she couldn't be happier to be meeting someone new, and she really did always did enjoy greeting visitors and making new friends! "I dunno about the whole trade thing, but the gifts look awesome, I'd rate them ten out of ten! Ah, and i'm Iris, by the way!" If this was what Westeros did for their allies, than she'd definitely consider strengthening their alliance if she was a leader, she was a bit of a sucker for good food

Hugs, yesssss! The canine snuggled up against her aunt, giving her a last little squeeze before finally separating and backing up a bit, though still sticking rather close to Jaelynn, and took a seat for the meeting. She really did need to visit sometime soon, she hadn't seen much of the territory here in Westeros, but from her aunt's description it sounded pretty fantastic! "Hiiii Isis!" she cheerfully greeted almost the moment after the icy Head of House mentioned her name, slamming a paw over her mouth almost immediately afterwards, looking a little sheepish at the fact that she had been an instant away from shouting in the middle of the older canine's speech. At the mention of her own promotion, the husky put on a radiant smile and sat up a little straighter, actually managing to sit still for a moment, just to show them how mature and deserving of that promotion she was, yup, she was totally the most mature one here...er, well, besides her dad and auntie! "Uhhhhh.....Hmmm....Nope! Can't think of anything important enough to share really, i mean there have been some weird storms and stuff in The Sanctuary, but it's nothing serious"
