"Metis, Garou, what you are born is out of your hands, what you do is in your hands." Claire smiled at Maria and then stood as the rest of the pack came in. She returned Adiyah smile and then carried it onto Max and Ethan.
"As we are being formal I am Claire Hunt, Strength of Many, Ragabash Black Fury and as Yvonne has said of the same Sept as her. Sent to assist the Berlin pack." Claire grinned, "And to save my Alpha and the elders sanity as well. Oh and I don't do the bowing, never quite got the hang of it and besides I could never be as graceful as Maria."
Claire let her eyes take in the other pack members, there was no Alpha so she did not have one to deal with but rather all. Although Yvonne and Maria where nice so she would guess the other two where as well.

"Hi Max!" Yvonne is glad now everyone has arrived, being bound as a pack now means that every time they're not around there's a void. "And Ethan, a friend of Max's is a friend of mine." Since no-one else had accepted it, Yvonne stands and shakes Ethan's hand. She has a soft grip, but moves with confidence. She's still a bit warm from jogging a long way across the city. "So what brings you to Germany, and Berlin?"

So this was the Furier Max had mentioned, better be the perfect gentleman then and with no further notice, he lead the hand he just been shaking to his lips, barely touching it with his lips. “Then I am indeed very happy to be a friend of Max” Letting go of her hand, he made a small formal nod of the head. “I am Ethan Collins, Last-One-Standing Glass Walker Philodox Cliath, an not very good with formalities either.” He winked to Claire at the last comment before finally getting back to Yvonnes question. “I am here to heal and to find a pack that will have me.” Something dark crossed his eyes for a moment and he paused, but not for long. “This place look amazing it is hard to believe that this place have ever been fallen.” And it was, the library was a small spot of home, hope and happiness in a dark world

Maria watched how Ethan acted carefully, this was too good, a ragabash and a philodox, both at once. "Max, Adiyah, allow me this moment of such rudeness it'll make Lion cry. Yvonne and I have been thinking about offering Claire a place in our pack, she has told me her deeds and they are of the bravest kind and she would protect the weak as well as any one of us" she said, her tone sounding extremely formal.
Then Maria turned to look at Ethan. "Excuse me, Last-one-standing-yuff, for interruption your introducion to this sept"

The thuerge smiled as Claire was introduced and the rest of her pack came into the main room. Max had someone with him, that must have been why she hadn't seen him earlier when she said goodbye to her family. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Strength of Many. No bowing needed, we aren't all that formal."
She arched a brow slightly as Ethan made himself known and worked hard to hide a smile as he touched his lips to the Fury's hand. Now that was interesting. The fact he was from America was even more so. She looked to both the newcomers, the thought crossing her mind that with these two the auspices of Dammerlict would be complete. How could it not, since so many things seemed to be falling into place since their meeting with Owl? It was far too early for that, thought. She smiled and introduced herself to both, to avoid having to repeat herself. "Also good to meet you, Ethan, Last one Standing. I'm from the states myself. Welcome both of you to Berlin, and no doubt you've already been, but welcome to the Caern as well. I am Adiyah, also called Eyes of Light, a Fianna Thuerge." She sighed, nodding to Ethan. "I know, it is a great city, but one that needs more than a but of spring cleaning, the spirals are quite active here. We have had some recent attacks, sadly."
When Maria addressed them all about Claire joining the pack she licked her lips and looked thoughtful for a moment, chosing her words politely and with caution. "Well, you're welcome for the dress, by the way." She paused and turned fully towards the ragabash. " I do not know of you, Strength of Many, but I have respect for my packmates and they are vouching for you. So, we will consider it. We are in need of more, and i don;t see a problem with giving you a chance. Max, your thoughts?"

Max got cheerier still at the sight of his packmates, and even gave a Yvonne a hug. He smiled at the other Fury. "If Yvonne is vouching for you then so will I," he said. "In the end it's not really up to us, it's up to Lion. But I personally would feel quite safe with another Black Fury in my pack."
He grinned and then turned to Ethan. "What about you?" he asked. "With you our pack will be fully balanced. The perfect pack. Better than perfect, actually, because we have two Galliards." He turned to the girls. "I vouch for him, he's a friend of the family," Max said, and then added with a grin. "And he is a Glass Walker."

Hearing Max's suggestion, Maria limped next to Ethan and began looking at him carefully. " I and Strenght of Many have spoken about me presenting her to Lion by counting her deeds. I know it must sound odd to you, but Lion is a totem of tradition. So, do you want me or Max to present you, or would you like to present yourself? That is, if you want to join, that is" Maria asked the philodox.
Then she turned to look at Max. " Friend of yours is a friend of mine, Max. With all five moons together, we'll stand strong" the metis said.

Yvonne can't help but smile shyly as Ethan kisses her hand. "Oh dear, are all Glass Walkers so charming?" From there she accepted Max's hug gladly. She looks around as Ethan and Adiyah introduce themselves formally, and clears her throat and tries to put on a straight face to respond in kind for Ethan's sake. "Oh, yes. Elpis' Ardour, Ahroun of the Black Furies. But you can call me Yvonne." She looks around the library as well at Ethan's remark. "It wasn't always so well cared for, but we've all been doing our bit."
Yvonne nods as Max vouches for Ethan, noting Adiyah's relative caution. "Well there's no harm in both Ethan and Claire coming along and seeing how we all get on." She looks back at Ethan. "If you want to, of course."

Claire nodded, "That is reasonable Adiyah, never buy a horse without looking at it's teeth. Although I am buggered what doing so tells you." She winked back at Ethan, "Let the Gillard do the talking, Gaia gave them the gift of the gab, best make use of it. And Maria has an eloquent tongue and knows all the formalities too I reckon."
She nodded at Maria as she considered, a balanced pack was always the stronger and with the addition of her and Ethan it would be. She laughed though at Max's comments. "Many a man would say one Fury is enough, Yvonne must have worked her magic on you."

A handsome man with short, tidy hair entered the Library. He was wearing an expensive suit and holding an envelope. He didn't look like he really belonged here. He looked more like a lawyer than a warrior of Gaia. In fact, he was a lawyer. Edward Rockerfella III was a very successful lawyer in fact. If any of them knew a thing or two about law firms, they would have heard of Rockerfella and Associates, an american law firm with a branch in Berlin.
He stopped and greeted Yvonne, Adiyah Max, who he knew, and flashed the rest of the group a charming smile. "Hello," he said to the ladies. "I should come by more often, it looks like there's a lot of new faces around. Well I have your papers and plane tickets," he said, counting six of them. He only had five passports. "Which one am I missing?"

"Hi Edward," Max said. Nobody else had volunteered so he thought he might as well introduce his tribemate. "You've been missing out on all the fun." He grinned. "This is Edward, Glass Walker Ragabash. He's our lawyer, and works really close with the human world to make sure all the crazy things we get up to stay secret. Edward, this is Maria, our packmate, Claire, and Ethan, also a Glass Walker."
He smiled at Edward. Although the Ragabash had chosen to work closely to humans rather than take up the fight here, his work was still invaluable, and he had his respect. "So you have our visas ready?" he asked.

They where all very young, having Adiyah there as a voice of reason did made him feel more conferrable, she was down to earth and something to ground him in the middle of all these feeling of joy and hopes. “It is a great pleasure to behold one from the old lands, and a stunning Theurge too I might ad. I will not take my stay here lightly and let my actions speak for themselves rather then spill your time with pretty words” Then he bowed his head to her, as Maria stood next to him.
Smiling at the Silverfang he replied. “I be honoured if you introduce us and it make a easy excuse for getting to know each other better, I know how your chores to the Sept comes first.” He avoided commenting on joining at this point. Max was already asking too and saying some real nice things about him, maybe more then he had earned, Claire was right about buying the horse metaphor.
He noticed how cute Yvonne looks when blushing and let himself be impressed with her strong name, it carried a lot of weight and hearing her support him, without even knowing him, did everything to make him sense the kindness that was still there in Berlin, even in the darkest times. Turning his head to Edward, he raised his voice. “It might be me, I just got here and I am pretty sure that mine is still packed away with my stuff.” He did not hold back on the greeting in disrespect, rather cause they where too many to do much more then exchange names

At Edward's arrival, Maria took a bit more proper position, but when she saw that Max knew the man, she relaxed.
At Ethan's comment Maria snickers a bit. " My chores here are just cooking, Last-one-Standing, my main priority is my pack. Anyway, do you have deeds that you want me to tell Lion, your deedname alone sounds interesting, what is the story behind it?" the metis asked.
"..Visa?" Maria asked Max confusedly.

Adiyah nodded to Claire with a grin. "Not sure entuirely why, something about the animal's health. Don't worry no need to check either of yours." She glanced at Ethan to include him in that, then addressed him with a warmer smile for his words, slightly pleased. "No doubt an honor also, Last One Standing. It is a truly wise one who lets his actions and deeds speak for themselves. We'd love to have you with us to demonstrate them. Pretty words are for tale spinners and word weavers, galliards. You aren't half bad at them though." She gave a slight chuckle and looked up as she heard someone else approaching. She relaxed and gave Edward a respectful nod. "Excellent Edward. Good to see you and thank you very much. I believe last minute additions might have skewed the count a bit, but if Ethan has one already, we should be set. "
This was going well, so far. All of them going together would cement the pack together better, and give the potential new recruits a chance to proove themselves. As Maria voiced her question to Max, Claire and Ethan again earned her attention. "What we are doing is rather important, though our focus is mainly diplomatic. Claire I beleive you know the basics, but Ethan, has Max explained?"

"Oh, thank you Edward." Yvonne takes hers and returns to sitting down with her glass of milk, putting the documents down beside it. "Adiyah, we should probably decide which of us should make the decisions. I mean, obviously normally we can talk things out, but we wont be here safe at the Sept. We'll be out on our own, and we might not have time to spare talking." She pauses to consider the issue a moment longer, it isn't something that should be decided rashly. She looks around at Max, who was brave surely but a little reckless, and Adiyah who had proven herself a wise Theurge. Though Yvonne has made decisions before when they needed making, she doesn't have the confidence to suggest that she should always be the one to turn to in a crisis. "I think we should look to you for it."
