Wyome Post 5
Wyome gave a smile, feeling slightly guilty, “It’s nothing that you’ve done, so don’t apologize.” She knew Jauhar wasn’t a land full of beasts, though some must have felt that was exactly what the Alkidikes were. She was curious how they had gotten a caravan through the jungles, but that was a question for another time. She brought her eyes back to the leaders and the hybrids they spoke to, curious as she kept an ear out for what they had to say.

“I’ll help the earthlings if it comes to a war,” Wyome didn’t hesitate in answering, “even if I am part Alkidike, I’ve grown up in Tale. They aren’t really my family… that part of my family is dead, probably by extremist hands.” The hybrid paused and covered her mouth, just realizing what she had said. It wasn’t like her to let her emotions get that out of hand. “I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to go that far. I, um, are you going to have some place to go if the fighting comes? You said you don’t fight…”




Careele Post 4
There were enough voices going back and forth, it was nearly turning into a drone. “That’s a tempting proposition,” he said as he leaned against the tree that she sat against, “Though you may wake up to them still continuing on,” he was only joking, but it truly seemed like they would be there for a while, though it wasn’t for a bad cause… it just seemed to be going nowhere.

“I can’t say I really want to fight the Alkidikes,” maybe it was being weak, but he knew as soon as he saw his friend he wouldn’t be able to fight. But luckily, a distraction came as Antiope and Enki addressed the two males, he had to admit he was surprised. Many of the ones he had met tended to avoid their pure blooded kin, being shunned as outcasts almost immediately, “Do you think the hybrids could really talk sense into their sisters?” he murmured.

Rilind Post 3

Rilind turned to look over at Yaholo, his green eyes going a bit wide, "Huh?" He wasn't sure if he could hold out hope much longer? It seemed strange to him to hear Yaholo sound as though he were actually hopeless over something. Hugging his arm for a moment he said, "I'm sorry, we will figure something out." He just wasn't sure what it was that they were going to have to figure out. Either they would have to fight against Yaholo's sisters, something Rilind didn't want to happen, or flee again... which he also didn't want since the boys were happy here.

"Whatever we have to do we will do, Yaholo. I don't want to see you forced to fight you sisters though. We can retreat again if you would prefer?" He knew that fleeing the last time had been his idea, something that hadn't worked out since they ended up in the way of the extremists anyway. He really wasn't sure at this point what to do. He was used to retreating to save his own skin, but could they continue to do that if the Alkidike were hellbent on conquering the land? They would need to stand and fight eventually if the woman spread far enough.

Turning at the sound of one of the babies asking them a question he looked down at them, blinking a couple times, then looked up at Yaholo, "Ahhh, yeah, what your father said... though you might not want to go outside. It might be best to play inside where it's safe." As much as he didn't want to force them all to stay in cramped quarters it might be for the best.

Lixes Post 3

The blond boy gave a sighing sound as he was put down, watching as his older bother went to hover around Niim, acting as if he was going to get himself hurt. After a long moment of watching him his mismatched eyes suddenly went wide, "Oh my Aisha..." He gasped out, pointing, "Inali! Drexl! Look, look! He's acting just like our Da!" He said, realizing that the way that he was hovering around Nim in the same manner that their red haired father hovered around them, wanting to keep them safe.

It was something that almost instantly had the blond boy giggling so hard, as though it were the most amusing thing ever. He couldn't believe it, to see their older brother acting in such a manner. It seemed that the two had been spending too much time together!

Aysun Post 5

Aysun glanced over toward Nkole and Teiluj for a moment, wondering if the two of them were going to actually come over to them or not. He wondered if Nkole would allow it since he wasn't the biggest fan of the two of them. He perked up though when he saw the manner in which Nkole actually waved at them, a sign that maybe he was warming up to them? Possible, which had him smiling just a bit, feeling hopeful. With everything else they were dealing with having at least Nkole perking up was actually nice.

Turning back to his brother he blinked a couple times, giving a little snicker when he saw the way that his brother was fluffing up, looking a bit like an angry kinfa. He was tempted to lift a hand to pet him but realized that it might not be a good idea, he looked like he was carrying a charge at the moment. Best not to poke at him when he might end up getting himself zapped in the process. Instead he took a half step back, allowing him to release the energy, while he followed the sprites with his eyes, "Huh? Oh, yeah, toward some girl... that's so weird, why would Awen go to some random girl?" Awen was normally seen clinging to Chandra, so why go toward her? Was she someone she didn't like and meant to fight?

Turning to Teiluj he gave a half shrug, "I... am not quite sure. Awen went off to chat at some Leaf girl I've never seen before. I wonder... is she one of your girlfriends, Chandra? Is Awen going to pick a fight?" He asked of his twin. He knew that Awen had been quite upset over Chandra going to visit with that dancer of his, was she feeling the same toward that girl too? It could get interesting if the female sprite meant to fight with the new girl. He only hoped that Flower wouldn't let it come to that.

The bright pink sprite flew over to hover next to Awen, looking at the girl that his fellow spirte had come over to. She was... sitting on her shoulder? Not attacking her? What was going on? He blinked a couple times before he moved to fly a couple circles around her, trying to figure out this mystery. He gave the other Leaf Tribesman a glance before flying over to Awen, standing next to her, ready to protect her from both of them if the need for it arose.

Jacinthus Post 4

Jacinthus glanced down at his mate as he tried to explain why he felt the Alkidike wanted to expand, something that caused him to give a slight snort, "It's all well and good, them wanting to expand, but doing so by causing all manner of harm isn't the way to go about it. All that is going to earn them is swift kick in the backside." Something that he was starting to think that his sister was going to provide in spades. The idea was both amusing and terrifying, especially given that hammer that Keilana wielded. She was probably only too eager to go bashing heads with it... though even without the hammer he knew his sister could be a force of nature.

Giving his sister a look he gave a half shrug, "I can understand owning land, we own and take care of the grounds our house is built on, but declaring you own an entire world is just being greedy. It's not just use, there are various other tribes that will likely be unamused by them acting out in such a manner." He thought about that for a moment, his long ears twitching. There was that to consider, wasn't there? What if they actually managed to tick off more then the Shifters of Jauhar, the Leaf Tribe on the border, and those of Sauti? There were various other tribes that would see their encroachment on Jauhar and Sauti as a threat. What did the elders of Sauti and Zena think? What did those down south think? Suddenly there was that much more to consider, wasn't there?

"Hmm, one can only wonder what the other elders might be talking about at the moment." Their own seemed to be caught up chatting with some hybrids from the looks of it, a conversation he found himself curious about.

Chalcedony Post 4

As Takoda looked to him for explanation he gave a half shrug, then glanced in the direction of home. That the Alkidike saw Jauhar as being theirs already was something that did sort of grate on him, "I wonder what got them so riled up that they decided that now, when there is a moment of peace, that they needed to shatter it. I wonder if their numbers are growing too great for those islands of theirs." Why else would they need to expand so far? Lifting a hand he scratched it thoughtfully against his chin, "Save for that or some sort of dominance thing the sudden need to spread seems strange to me." Why cause so much trouble without a set goal after all.

There were rumors, lots of them, about what it was the women were up to and what they were after... but they couldn't really rely on rumors. Rumors and gossips, it only held partial truths, leaving them to have to sift through it for a real idea about what was going on.

Chalcedony glanced to Jacinthus at his comment about the elders, then followed his gaze to them. He watched a moment before saying thoughtfully, "Huh, I wonder what Rishima is doing here." He knew the man, chatted with him in the passed, sparred with him a few times, but he wasn't one he'd expected to be here. This was... interesting, tempting him to move in closer to eavesdrop despite knowing full well that it was rude.

Issaly Post 2

The smaller of the two brothers giggled at Vallen's greeting. Hugging back before he ran over to Sauron to cling to the elder male. He looked to the newcomer. A bright cheery smile greeted the ice male before Issaly stepped away from his foster father to bow in greeting. "Hi there, Mr. Kiyelt. As Papa said, I'm Issaly."

He giggled as Therus flew around him and patted Sauron on the head before sitting on Issaly's shoulder. "And this is Therus."

Isaris Post 2

Isaris glanced to Vallen. Aware that the youth acted differently around him than Issaly, thinking not much on it he rolled his eyes in play before reaching out. Grabbing Vallen to ruffle his hair in affection, for he did feel it towards Vallen. At the moment it was small, not brotherly, but it was there. He didn't have a word for it...he just felt it towards the younger male. He looked up again before chuckling. Therus was a clown there was no doubt about that, he kept Vallen in his grasp for a few moments longer before letting go.

"Kiyelt." he nodded in greeting.

Cyn Post #3


Cyn kept walking around, not really sure what to do at the moment. He kept his eyes out for the off chance his sister was here, while his ears were tuned in towards the leaders. The conversations and the crowed made it difficult to do so though and he gave up. While he walked, Cyn moved to avoid another passer by and bumped into a darker skinned male. Turning himself towards the person he lowered his hood. "Sorry about that. Gettin crowded here."He'd offer the guy a quick grin to show his sincerity. "People are gettin rowdy here it seems." As he bumped into the male, Cyn caught the last of his conversation and couldn't decide if he should chime in. Didn't know if it was really his place to do so, "My name is Cyn, and I have to agree with you a bit. Fanatics ain't the brightest if ya ask me."

Niadra - Post Five

"I know, I just wish you could have seen a better side of this place." maybe she would suggest to the girl that she join the troupe for a while after this was all done, or at least offer it. She would make sure that Wyome saw the good parts of the world.

She hugged Wyome after hearing the girls words. Everyone had a past, and it seemed for a second Wyome wasn't able to hide hers. "Now it's my turn to tell you not to apologize. Having feelings isn't something you will ever have to apologize about, not with me. I don't fight, so instead I help the healers and do whatever I'm told. It's the least I can do." She also sang and kept the company of those dying, or at least she had last time there was a war, but she didn't think it was something to bring up.

Biroki (Post 2)

Biroki moved near Rishima and Gerraden to offer his support. This, at least, was a strategy he could get behind. ”W-we should at least try to make peace. If they think they can do it, we should help these hybrids speak to their sisters...” He wanted no trouble with the Alkidike, and if these rather tall hybrids thought they could do it, he wanted to make sure that they had any help that was in his power to give.

”H-hopefully,” he added, ”with some support, we can at least make sure they aren't... aren't killed on sight.” Of course, they could fail in their talks. If that happened, and the Alkidikes decided to take a detour from their warpath to strike at the Shifter lands, then they would need what Hybrid allies they could muster. ”Certainly, they sh-should not go alone.” he added further.

His piece said, he turned his attention to the hybrid volunteers. The way they interacted with each other made him think that they might be lovers, or at least very close kin. ”I'm sorry, I've been talking about b-backing you two up, and I don't know your names... I am Biroki, and if you do this... if you try to talk to your sisters... I would like to come with you. In a supporting capacity.” If fireballs and lightning storms could ever be called 'support'.
