The only reason, if any, that Aten had been avoiding a gathering as he would call for today was because, previously, he would've had to speak with Wolfbane. And, frankly, if there was one horse here he did not trust at all, it was the stallion. Even without swooping in and taking over the redwood kingdom, he'd done quite a few things, in the past as well as here, that had Aten questioning his motives.
He also had quite a bit of personal drama going on, it seemed, and didn't know how to handle it. But he wouldn't say that to Wolfbane's face, unless the stallion deserved more than a few foul words.
But with Taiga's seat of power having shifted, and another seemingly in charge despite being in another kingdom thanks to Lepis' doing, Aten knew he needed to 'get a count' so to speak, and find out how many here would really be ready to protect their beautiful home if any trouble came to their border.
Mid-morning came after some peaceful grazing with Aten's family, and the golden stallion bid them a goodbye before departing for a smaller gathering meadow he had used in times past when speaking with other protectors of the redwoods. Upon his arrival, he sent out a call for, not only those who had already staked their position as protectors of Taiga, but also for the other grown residents ready to find a caste, especially those who wished to protect Taiga as a whole, not just their words.
Aten would teach them what he knew of diplomacy, even if he was a not a professional. But he knew Lethia would help where needed, and despite his feelings toward the other, Wolfbane would too. He did lead them, after all. Aten couldn't exactly object to his teachings, he would just implement what he knew too to help them become the best.
He waited patiently for a few to begin gathering, not wanting to go over what he had to say more than once if he could.
