Antiope clasped her hands in front of herself, looking down at these two men who were willing to risk their lives for the sake of others. Although the crowd was torn on wether to act or to ignore the threat of the alkidikes it seemed that Rishima would inspire them to try and at least talk peace with them. Moving towards the hybrid she placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a thoughtful smile,
"My people and I would be grateful if you came with us to speak to the alkidikes leaders. Surely something beyond fighting can be resolved and it is my hope that you will help awaken some sense in them." Drawing her hand away from Rishima she looked to Enki pondering what he would add.
The leaf male nodded his head though he didn't approach Rishima or Gerraden instead he looked up into the sky, the hot sun baring down upon them and making him irritable. Turning towards the rest of the crowd. He raised his arms into the air to draw everyone's attention to himself. Waiting until the murmur of people died down before speaking.
"It has been decided, we shall stop the alkidikes progression and see if talks of peace can be pursued. We shall still require warriors in case...these talks fall through.." Enki spoke though he didn't sound like he was convinced that peace talks were going to work.
Antiope cast him a glare, as if the grumpy leaf man was just trying to rile up the crowd to they wanted to draw blood. Sighing she nodded her head, after all they would need back up if talking...would prove fruitless.
"We shall set out tomorrow...and set up a blockade. We will need the help of many hands, and those who wish to avoid any possible fighting are free to go home while they are able." Enki continued before he turned to face Antiope and the two hybrids. "Prepare yourselves things could get ugly."

Nyiim- post 6
Nyiim's head turned back toward the platform. It seemed that a decision had been wrought, and in two days' time they would be standing as defense against the coming Alkidike. He knew in his heart that not all of their kind agreed with this battle, but who knew what would become of them? The decision of a sprite to hide behind him was entirely lost, and he turned to Syqvara.
"That's it, then. Will you be joining the blockade?" he asked the girl, smiling. She didn't look like a fighter, but one never knew. She could have an arsenal of defensive spells, or perhaps she was a healer. Either way he didn't want to see her hurt. Hopefully no war would come of this.
Vukasin- post 6
Vuka's brow furrowed at the appearance of this new woman and her insistence that he was more harm than good. Everyone began somewhere, and if a war were to be struck, they would need as many hands as possible. Maybe he wasn't meant for the battlefield, he reasoned. Maybe he would be better to assist in supplies and help the healers. Either way.
"Well, it seems there will be a blockade and so there may well be battle," he said to this new woman, "I plan to help however I can." For now he had to find his family. They needed to all be together at a time like this.

Cyn Post # 4
"It's nice ta meet ya Rayolun, and your lovely wife Lasarra too though the conditions could be more favorable..." With a half smile to show sincerity, Cyn bowed his head to both of them before he silenced himself as the crowds murmuring died down. It seemed the Elders had reached a conclusion, and Cyn turned his attention towards them. He was farther away now, but the crowd quieting helped with Cyn being able to hear them. Once they were done, Cyn turned his attention back to the two. "Let us hope peace talks work out, but it is good they see reason enough to be prepared for the worst case. I hope it doesn't come to it, but being prepared is a smart move." Now Cyn needed to decide what he would do should things come to the worst. Would he fight, would he run (unlikely), or would he take part in the blockade? For now he guessed playing things by ear was really his only choice. |

Nimueh: Post 3
When no one followed to play tag, Nimueh stopped, pouting, only to whine and glower up at his father, who had jumped to fuss over him. "Papa, I'm fine -- I--" He blinked, then rushed to the edge of the house, peering back down - they had come to some sort of decision. He had heard 'Alkidike'... what was going on? Making a noise of distress, the boy turned to stare up at his father, wide-eyed and startled. "Are they going to hurt mom? Where is she?
He didn't understand war - or that the Alkidike were moving. He only heard, from what was going on, that all these people... all of them wanted to stop his sisters. Why? Did they not like them? Him? He looked around, at his grandfather, at all his uncles - what would happen to them all?
All thoughts of playing fell away. And even if Nimueh didn't understand, surely Samoset would realize that Elsheba may be on either side of this incursion - she was fiercely pro-Alkidike, but also had them.

AMINAH POST 7
Aminah heard the call to arms and her face flashed with sadness. She supposed it was unavoidable, and if something had to be done, then something had to be done. But her children would not be involved.
She looked to Sathe, the question hanging in the air. "... So... will you be joining them?"
She stood from her seat, pulling little Jhana onto her hip. Her sister gave her answer and she put the little girl on the floor. "Give your Aunt Sathe a hug. She's going to have to take a trip soon and we want to make sure to say goodbye for now."
She let the little ones say their goodbyes before giving her sister a hug of her own. "Stay safe."
She took the little ones' hands and led them away from the scene and towards home. She would wait for Jerarda there.

JHANA POST 7
Jhana didn't have to wait very long for her answer to come. The talking was done, and everyone was leaving. Her mama pushed her up onto her hip before lowering her to the floor. "Come back soon, Auntie Sathe!" She squeezed Sathe's legs in a hug, before returning to her mom and grabbing her hand with one hand and her own hair with the other.
But she wanted to see the stalls...
[Jhana is staying behind]
SATHE POST 7
Sathe gave both of the little kids hugs before squeezing her sister tight. "Be safe yourself. Don't get in the middle of it." She looked down to the little kids in their mother's hands and patted each one on the head again.
"I better get going, lots of things to do before we have to leave." She grabbed the bag she had brought with her off of the bench and with one last wave, headed into the crowd to see where they were off to next.

Jerami Post 7
Jerami's eyes popped open when he was told to give his Aunt Sathe a hug and that she was going on a trip soon. He looked up at her, his antennae giving a little twitch, before nodding his head. Turning around he gave her a big hug and said, "Have a good trip, come back to visit soon, okay?" He liked when she visited, she was really nice! Once the hug was done Jerami slipped off of her lap and brushed at his 'dress' to make sure it was clean and wrinkle free before hurrying to his mother's side, taking hold of her hands tightly.
He gave a quick look around, realizing suddenly that they weren't the only ones on the move. Something was going on, wasn't it? Something that he didn't really understand since he was too little. More grown up words from those in charge and everyone seemed to be moving about, making him wonder what was going on exactly. He didn't ask though instead just saying for the hundredth time, "I hope Ma and Shima come back soon."
He would feel a lot better when everyone was back together again. For now though he would follow after his Mommy and keep an eye out for Ma and Shima, hoping that they appeared from the crowd to join the three of them as they headed for home.

Mano Post 7
Mano's fin ears gave a little twitch as he turned toward Alassiel and Xarnith, a questioning look on his face. What to do now? It seemed as though the elders of the two tribes had spoke and people seemed to be on the move, ready to put up a blockade and aid those of Sauti. He wondered what his two companions would want to do. Not to mention he found himself wondering what it was that he should do. He had the skill to fight, had been trained to do so by his master some time ago, but it didn't mean that he wanted to do so without putting great thought into it. It didn't seem as though he had time to think it over, did he? As such he needed to figure out what he wanted to do. Best to see what the others wanted to do first.
He didn't want to walk away or abandon this pair, not until he knew where they were going and if they were going to be alright. Giving the pair a smile he asked, "What are you going to do next my Moon Princess, Sunshine? Things sound as though they are getting tense." He wanted to know where they would be and that they were going to be safe, "Will you go back to your group?" This question was asked for Xarnith. |

a pet dino Sorry for the slow. I didn't expect to be busy the last few days OTL
Wyome Post 6
“It would be nice, but as long as people are safe, that’s all that matters.” There were good moments, and it seemed like they just seemed to avoid her.
As horrible as she felt for letting that bit of her past slip, she relaxed a bit in the other’s arms, returning the hug. “Thank you,” it was soft, but it meant a lot. She wasn’t going to ever forget this kindness and she truly hoped that she didn’t see her as someone wanting revenge. After a few moments, she pulled away lightly to look back to the other female. Wyome was just a bit taller, but it wasn’t hard to catch the other’s eye, nodding at her words.
As the leaders made their closing notes, the hybrid frowned, “Do you mind if I stay with you during this ordeal? I’m not much of a fighter, but I want to be of some use.” Her magic wasn’t strong enough to really be considered a fighter, but if she could help by doing miscellaneous tasks during the blockade and the possible oncoming war, she would do it.
