Admittedly, Luca had found himself zoning out quickly. His eyes fluttered closed as he focused on enjoying the closeness of those around him, the occasional brush of a pelt against his filling him with small wisps of energy. He sighed a cloud of steam and allowed his mind to go blank, banishing his concern for Pincher's expression and the tense atmosphere from his mind. It was only when one of the nudges against his body felt awfully familiar that his eyes blinked open, revealing the form of Junji beside him. Warmth melted away the stressed chill that had momentarily encased his insides, presenting itself in a relaxed smile in the angel's direction.
Now that he had been brought back to the real world, he managed to catch bits and pieces of the announcements. Something about no demotions, shoutouts, but then Pincher moved on to promotions and Luca's attention was caught by his own name within the mix. He did quite enjoy holding power over others, but he enjoyed the responsibilities that came with it less. Still, he found himself smiling briefly, his tail coiling around his paws and giving them a gentle squeeze in something reminiscent of a self hug. Of all the clans to be loyal to, the Typhoon definitely wasn't the worst one out there. Perhaps he could stand to put a little work in, if it was for Pincher's sake.
He didn't offer any words of thanks, but he did turn to give Junji a friendly nuzzle. "Congrats to you too," he said softly, a playful light glimmering in his rose eyes. He was glad that the now-soothsayer had been promoted; even after everything that had happened to him he hadn't given up on his duties, something that Luca could definitely admire. He glanced back at Pincher to hear the rest of the meeting, although most of the news flew over his head. He'd probably be seen at the party and the weekly tasks, but the sage tryouts weren't his cup of tea. Not anymore.
