There is a dead pause there, after the Great Alpha proclaims that Vigor and Rigor will be the Sept Leader of Cold Crescent. Shieldwind looks a bit taken aback but is trying to parse his words before speaking. Vigor and Rigor is merely stunned where he stands, trying to come up with an argument a little more articulate than WAIT, WHAT.
The Great Alpha holds the bone. When Erich trots up to see if he can have it, the Great Alpha's eyes are baleful and golden, staring at him. He rolls the bone out from under his forepaw and thumps it towards the newly-minted Fostern, who instantly says the most ridiculous thing ever.
And a few things that aren't as ridiculous, such as: we already have a leader. we all answer to the great alpha.
Vigor and Rigor, for what it's worth, immediately walks forward and holds his hand out for the bone and when Erich hands it to him, he gives the Ahroun a wink before facing the Great Alpha. Avery, as the Truthcatcher, watches the bone changing hands but stands aside for now, arms crossed over her chest, which is where her breath is caught.
"Rhya, I'm deeply honored that you want me to serve in this way," says the Ragabash to the Alpha, "but Forgotten Questions is my home. I don't... want to lead a sept. Not now. I don't want a 'crown'," he adds, complete with finger-quotes in the air. "But Storm's Teeth's idea isn't the craziest I've ever heard. What if we did just have a Warder, a Keeper, all of that? What if Cold Crescent remains under your guidance, even if most of the time it acts on its own? Wouldn't that keep us more united?"

my whole life is thunder.
