He walked at Nootau's side, quickening his pace only when the dens came into easy walking distance. He hoped No was home and not out guarding the borders or hunting or one of the other hundred of things that needed to be done. He thought of the jobs that needed to be completed in the next few days and wondered desperately where the time was going to come from. There was so much to do! A council needed to be organised, the army needed to be formed and most importantly, he needed to make amends with his sister.
He hadn't seen her since that day and worried for her, but for now those worries were pushed to the back of his mind. There was someone he had to introduce to No.
He glanced back at the brightly-coloured boy with the black mane and flicked an ear thoughtfully. He was curious to see what came of him, what wonderful things he could accomplish with that mind of his.
And then he reached the den and slowed his pace, pausing to snuffle for No's scent. A low chuff of greeting rumbled free from his throat. "No? No, are you here?"

There were a hundred million things that seemingly had to be done all at once- but for a scant few hours of the day, the black cat did allow herself to get some sleep. It agitated her to no end that she was not some sort of machine- but for now, the nap would have to suffice to recharge some energy for the day. Wounds were healing well enough- she had tended to them before settling in, and at least that brought some rest to her worries.
But she never kept to herself long- and the sound of Kidondo’s voice echoing from the den’s back reverberated on her ears. Her head lifted- but calmer then usual. While there was plenty to be done, and the threat of the traditionalist’s return always in the air, she felt relatively secure for the moment in their victory. A small, preening smile pulled from her lips as the black cat slunk from the den- scenting another with him as she reached the entrance.
“She is here,” No thrummed as she came in sight, stretching her long body out. “What crisis today?” She smiled, the end of her tail pulsing as she settled herself. Noticing the younger male coming up beside him, she dipped her head in greeting. She was unfamiliar with the fellow- but they’d grown so much in ranks after the takeover that she was wildly attempting to calculate some sort of census of their numbers. Inwardly, she added another hash mark to her ever considering mind.
“Hello,” The black cat rumbled.
