Cornelius sighed softly and went on to tell her the events that had been happening recently. Once he was done, he laid his head on his paws, looking quite tired and closing his eyes, "Since then, I have been constantly on patrol for vampires or dangerous otters that would be a threat to Mistress Ching." he said.

Xylia listened and her frown remained at the thought of such attacks, so brutal and who knew what might have happened if no one had heard the cries for help. If no one had seen the pup snatched away they might simply think him lost or runaway. It was a bad situation for the entire oasis, but they had lived so long in quiet harmony who would have known that the peace would be shattered.
She shook her head softly "Something must be done, first and foremost to find Morgana's son...Families should never be torn apart." She sighed and looked at Cornelius. "Your territory is safe at least though? No attacks have been made against your mistress or any of her guards or ladies?"

"No, none so far, and for that I am grateful, but it will only be a matter of time before they start pushing for bigger territory." he said, eyes still closed, "And I have been dividing my time between patroling and looking for the pup, but wherever this demonic took him, he hid his tracks well."

"Or he could fly...a winged demonic? It's possible I'm sure...don't you think?" She sighed and looked up at the sky wondering what the mother must feel. Such a pain Xylia could not imagine, to have her precious child taken from her. She turned back to Cornelius.
"You think they will be bold enough to try and claim territory? Why bother though? The only claimed land is Mistress Chings."

"Probably to prove they can and to keep the other otters in fear. And my Aunt Morgana did say he was a demonic, a winged one, one of three that have been spotted and I would know, there are two demonic elders with wings in the reserve and one of them is in my family." he said, rolling to his side.

"Three winged demonics...how very odd, are there any other strange demonic happenings?" She frowned and curled inward slightly closer to Cornelius.
As she noticed how close she was she leaned back a bit and pushed away her fears. It was silly to think of Cornelius as some kind of protector, he might aid her as a friend if she ever needed but that was all. She could take care of herself just fine anyway...she hoped.

"None other then the winged ones and the vampires, if there are others, I am sure they will turn up so-" he stopped his talking when he saw rippling movement in the water. He sat up and stood up quickly, a strange feeling of protectiveness washing over him as he didn't pick up a scent, so it could be anyone, even an enemy and all he could think of was protecting Xylia. He became tense and looked ready to pounce on whoever would come out of the water, but he instantly relaxed the second he saw the purple head pop out of the water. He padded his way over to the shore, his voice taking on a scolding, yet...affectionate tone, "Violet, what are you doing here, I told you to stay with the family until I came to get you!"
Violet shook some water from her head and she 'barked' happily at finally finding Cornelius, despite his telling her to stay with her older/bigger family members so no one could catch her on her own. He pulled herself onto shore and shook her fur out, the water instantly sliding off her purple fur and she padded over to Cornelius, looking much smaller then him, even a little smaller then Xylia herself. She churred sadly when he scolded her and she sat down, ears drooping down a little and she fidgeted a little, "Well, you haven't been home in so long, I was getting worried you weren't coming back!" she barked.
He sat next to her and gently gave her a pat on the head with his paw, "You know I would come back, but you know how dangerous it is, you can't be out alone, not unless someone is with you to protect you if I am not there." he said.

Xylia was listening to Cornelius wondering about these new dangers when he tensed up and stood on alert. She pressed lightly against his side and frowned "What is it?" She murmured softly, so soft she doubted he had heard her.
When the purple otter popped up Xylia sat down and watched her interaction with Cornelius curiously. For a moment she felt a strange tugging sensation in her heart, in her gut, but she shoved it down fiercely and waited for someone to realize she was still sitting there. It seemed rude to try and intrude on such an affectionate moment.

Violet giggled as she got the pet and she was about to say something when she finally noticed the other otter. Now Violet was incredibly shy, and the first thing she did was squeak and quickly hide herself behind Cornelius' larger frame, which earned a chuckle from him.
Cornelius gave a small laugh at his little charge, actually giving her a small smile and he nuzzled the top of her head and then shifted so she was in full view, "Violet, this is Xylia, the other otter I met and I told you about." he then looked over to Xylia, "Xylia this is Violet, she is my charge, has been since she was in a clam."

Xylia smiled and inched a bit closer not wanting to press in on the sky violet. "A pleasure to meet you Violet." She grinned up at cornelius her eyes holding a wealth of amusement and warmth.
Who would have thought that this tough looking male could care and protect this little otter since her clam days. What a big softy he is Xylia thought to herself with a small secret smile.

Cornelius saw Xylia smiling at him and he felt himself blush, not realizing he was not acting quite like himself since Violet showed up. He snorted lightly and looked away, but didn't push the purple female away when she leaned against him, wagging her tail.
"It's nice to meet you too, Cornelius talks about you sometimes!" she said with a shy smile. She then looked up at her demonic protector, tail wagging, "When are you going to come home? I feel safer when your home?" she asked him.

Xylia chuckled at the purple female and winked at Cornelius with a smile "Only good things I hope?" She watched Violet question Cornelius and felt a small pang, of course his family wanted him back home, he kept them safe. Instead he was out here in the wilderness with her, she offered him a forced smile.
"Yes Cornelius you should get back home to your family, thank you for the warning though...I'll be on the alert...but nothing ever really happens so far up here..." She swallowed a strange forming lump in her throat.

Cornelius frowned lightly, glaring a little at the ground. He wanted to come home to his family, not wanting his mother to worry, but he had to make sure no one was trying to encroach on Mistress Chings territory, he didn't want to let her down. He snapped his eyes over to Xylia when she said she would stay here and he shook his head slowly, "No, I said before I would feel better if you were with my family, wehre it is safe. Besides, I think Morgana could use more company, she is still upset over her pup being taken." he said.
Violet looked over to Xylia and smiled, nodding her head, "Yes, please come with us!! It would be so nice to have another female around to talk to!" she pleaded.

Xylia looked a bit startled, she hadn't really expected Cornelius to want her to tag along, hadn't his words before been a slip? She hoped her cheeks didn't look as warm as they felt. She looked at Violet and smiled softly.
"I suppose...I could come and stay for a spell. Especially if it would help Morgana..." She nodded.

Violet smiled happily at that, nodding her head fast, "Yes, that would be wonderful!!" she said, looking to Cornelius, her tail flicking happily.
Cornelius let a small smile cross his muzzle when Xylia agreed to come back with them to his families den. He nodded his head to them, "Good, unless you have something you wish to take along with you, I suggest we leave now. The days have grown shorter and it gets darker soon. And I have to go see Mistress Ching in the morning." he said.
