The elder all stood and waited until Dara took his seat. Then the rest of the elders took their seat in order of descending influence; Aunt Lin sitting to Dara's immediate right and Uncle Min to his immediate left.
Followed by Ji Wang, Elder Smith, Ji Chen, Ji Long, First Elder, Second Elder and finally Elder Ting, all alternating from right to left. This meant Ji Wang sat after Aunt Lin and Elder Smith after Uncle Min, and so on.
After completing their formalities and properly greeting one another, Dara looked to Aunt Lin and nodded, then Aunt Lin cleared her throat softly as she began the meeting.
"I woke up and had a meeting wit the tribe leader this morning to discuss myriads of topics, but with the most important one being his natural and overall wellbeing." She said as the elders looked to themselves and nodded in agreement; that was indeed the most important topic.
