Over the next few minutes, the vast majority of the Labyrintine Tribe's members arrived at the Nexus, gathering around the reflecting pool and making small talk as they waited for the meeting to begin. Finally, though he knew a few members were still missing, Daedalus decided to start. He stood up to his full height, his long, bushy tail still covering the BCRs, and began, "Good morning, everyone." Daedalus had the kind of deep voice the could reach everyone in earshot without him having to raise his volume. He looked around at everyone, smiling and catching eye contact for a brief moment with each fox in turn. "Thank you all for being here this morning. I know it's unorthodox, as I've never called a meeting in this way before. However, as you can probably guess, there have been a lot of changes and new additions to the tribe recently." Here, Daedalus paused and nodded to the families - Orion, Wolfram, and their children, and the two twins, Mehmet and Derin. "This meeting seemed like the best way to ensure that all members of the Labyrintine are informed of the latest happenings.

"First and foremost," Daedalus took a small step to the left, "My mate Antheia and I are happy to announce that the Modeities have blessed us with children." He lifted his tail, revealing four small BCRs, all decorated with various shades of brown and tan. "We are so excited for you all to meet Hestia, Hephaestus, Anaïs, and Danaë." Daedalus paused for a moment, as the tribe reacted. He took the time to look back at his mate, the big, goofy smile on his face conveying all the joy he felt at being able to introduce his found family to his new, growing family.

As the excited murmurs settled down, he returned his attention to the crowd before him. "Those that have been with this tribe for a long time will know just how much things have changed in such a short amount of time. The tribe's name and symbol have evolved. We've added new roles to suit the interests of our tribe members. While some of our founding members have left us, quite a few new foxes have recently agreed to join our ranks. These changes may have prompted some of you to carefully consider your place here in the Labyrintine Tribe.

"Now, I must humbly beg a moment of your time from each of you. While we're here, I would like to speak to each of you briefly to confirm that you are indeed happy in this tribe and in the role you've chosen. For those of you that have been members for a long time, but are now interested in one of our newly developed tribe ranks, we can absolutely discuss a change in roles. For those of you who may be dissatisfied with tribe life, I truly hope you feel comfortable enough to discuss this with me openly. I promise you won't hurt my feelings."
Daedalus ended his short speech with a small chuckle.

"In the meantime," he added, "You are all more than welcome to continue mingling amongst yourselves, meeting our newest members, and coming up here to welcome our new children into the tribe. At the end, we'll all return to the Forum down below where one of our members, Adonis, has been hard at work preparing a feast." It hadn't escaped his notice that Adonis hadn't made it to the meeting, but Daedalus noticed Adonis and Tithe's son Lukas arrive alongside Anatolia. He knew Adonis had enlisted Lukas's assistance with the hunting last night, and made a mental note to inquire after the preparations and his father's well-being.
