Nasuri 1
Nasuri followed behind her mother. She’s just recently turned home to spend some time with the family when she’d heard her mother and father talking about the gathering in hushed tones. When she asked them they only reassured her nothing was wrong, but she knew that there was more to it than they were telling. Still, she enjoyed her time seeing her brothers and her younger twin sisters. She settled next to her mother when they arrived and watched the crowd. This was a very big crowd and she was curious to find out what was going on. For now she stayed quiet.

Yitzah
Post: 2
Location: In the crowd – near-ish to Aaricia, and Nasuri. Near Aylin
--------------------She didn't want to go near the potential sister in the crowd, and so restlessly, she milled around, finding herself further from the action. Not, indeed, the best place to be, but whatever. She stopped just short of sticking her tongue out in the general direction of the antennae - probably wrong at this point, but whatever. If it was away from trouble, it was away from trouble. She barely registered a hooded figure at the back (which was kind of what hoods were for - she had one too, after all), or any of the Obans and Matori here and there. No, her attention was caught by... a shifter! Though daytime-black skin didn't exactly catch the eye in Oba, the white hair and bright crystals did. Yitzah walked over briskly, somehow drawn to the familiarity of it. That was Jauhar, the less annoying bits of it, right there. "Hey. You're a Shifter. she said to Aylin, stating the completely obvious. "Haven't seen any for a while. Not many around here." There. She was friendly. What more could one ask for? alethryia Oh hey she's talking to you

Arima - Post 1 As a healer Arima was sensitive to the emotions of other people. Even though she wasn't in the rough desert with the unit this place seemed to be more chaotic with the worry that was radiating from the crowd. So many whispers were being passed between earthlings about what could have caused so a meeting and every rumor made a shiver go down Arima's spine. All of the worry made her think of her own dear one. Biting the inside of her cheek in concern Arima's pale gaze surveyed the crowd. Where....he was here right? Please, please. Her hands clasped together to calm her nerves until she finally spotted the familiar shape of the Oban. "Saraf!" The name came quickly from her lips as she darted through several people to get to the man's side. As she latched onto his arm Arima tried to play off her nerves with a small smile, "I had the feeling that you would be here." Resting against his side the Matori glanced around shyly, "I wonder what they'll be telling us...."

Saraf - Post 2 Saraf's attention went from observing the crowd and those in it to fully on Arima as the brightly colored Matorian woman was suddenly attached to his arm. He starred down at her for a moment before giving a bit of a sigh of relief, "Yes, our Captain was only too happy to send me and a few others. They are spread out through out the crowd to help keep tabs on things." Though to be honest he was a lot happier to see her here because it meant that she was now with him. It meant keeping her safe despite... well, whatever it was that was going on at the moment. Giving a little shake of his head he said, "I can only imagine." Was it going to be something that shook the world like some announcements had been in the past? Or was it just going to be another like last time where it just felt like they'd had another good year and that they were to carry on as such. Given the energy in the crowd he doubted that it would be something so simple as that so he was glad that Arima was at his side instead of lost among the crowd, he could better protect her that way. Unlike most times when he came into town on leave Saraf was actually armed this time, just in case it was decided that such weapons were needed. Giving Arima a smile he said, "How about we stick together for the time being? Not just because of what might be going on but because... ahh... I just prefer it that way." He was still a bit awkward about expressing his thoughts to her but he felt he was getting a bit better as time went.

Ai'ian Post 2 He did not want to admit how comforted he was by that simple pat on the check but there it was. She had always held the key to his heart try as he might to be himself, she was his everything. He was sure one day that they would be the same person. But oh, having his pregnant woman in the middle of this was not ideal, but in the same token he could not, would not leave her alone with children snatchers about. He absolutely could not. And even if he had tried he knew she absolutely would not listen to him. She was a free spirit a free agent and well he wouldn't change that either. "When is it going to start Myrida? Are you feeling okay? You will let me know if you get contractions? The healer said that was the start of labour... just let me knowwwww." He fluffed up at anyone nearby, protective instincts going through the roof at the moment. She was so round.

Arima - 2"Sounds good." Arima pursed her lips thoughtfully as she glanced around. That meant that something definitely was up then. Else wouldn't people have simply laughed off the situation by now? Once again she felt a chill crawling down her spine. She just prayed it wouldn't result in some war. The continent had already been divided before and she had heard of the disasters from those battles. As a healer the last thing she wanted to imagine was how hundreds, if not thousands, of injured and lost could result from anymore fights. "Me too." Arima shook her head before his next statement caught her by surprise. At the mention of the outcast unit the woman had already moved to pull away from him, but now that he was mentioning staying together she paused. "Is...is that okay?" It was strange how now after everything she felt shy, but there was a slight flush on her cheeks. After all she could only imagine the teasing that would ensue since actual members of the unit would be here to see her and Saraf being...close. Then again as he stated it was for safety as well...so surely it was okay to have a hand on his arm. Maybe?

Aqio- Post 2 He rolled his eyes. "Oh, how could I ever of doubted you." he said sarcastically. He looked around the crowed gathering. Feeling a bit on edge due to the whispers. He leaned a bit into the other. "I just wish they would hurry this up."

Myrida- Post 2 She chuckled as she watched her mate fluffed up. With a shake of her head she pulled his arms around her. "I mean it...relax." she looked around. Keeping calm. "the babies aren't due for a while yet...if you panic over and over their going to come early just to see you get gray hairs." she teased.

Aaricia- Post 2
It surprised her to see how many different kind of people were there. It wasn't just natives of Oba that had gathered today. That.. was encouraging, a little. Also encouraging was that there were more hooded people than herself lingering about. She would stand out even less this way. While one figure approached a shifter to talk, she found herself wandering closer to a young hybrid woman sitting nearby. "I hope you don't mind if I take this spot?" she requested quietly, golden eyes peeking out from the shadows of her hood. Being around another hybrid was an unconscious move on her part.

Chapter 9: Grave Expectations
|| IC ||
 "Keep them calm?" Besian looked about a moment before scoffing, "I've got guards enough to keep them calm..." It was a half jest, as he felt a bit of the nerves. He had his men and women here to keep the peace, because he knew there was a risk of unrest. They didn't have all the answers, and he worried that there might be more concern than the people before him could handle.
"There's no use holding off," He reassured his companion, "We might as well just get this over with..." The group moved closer to where the front of the stage was, their hushed whispers between one another stilling as they let their leaders take charge. It seemed the crowd was focused more on chit-chat, and after a moment of not being noticed, Besian let out a grumble.
"Quiet" Besian called out for a moment, before letting out a huff and nodding to his guards who circled their podium. Soon, they all let out a call that circled around the gathering, calling for quiet and silence as the leaders and their peers stood tall before them. It was about time for their conversation to begin.

 Post 2 Aylin was taken aback to see the tall figure of an Alkidike walk so purposefully towards her- had she done something to offend the woman? But then she was completely thrown by her abrupt introduction, “Ummm ... yes?” Then the silliness of the situation broke through her confusion and she couldn't help but say through a chuckle, “This Shifter's name is Aylin by the way.”
She extended a hand towards her new company with a smile. “So what brings you so far from home? Honestly this is only my second time in Oba, the last time I was here was for the tournament as a ‘prentice.”
Then there was a hush in the crowd as the imposing figure in the front called for attention.
Draconic Feline Lol, quite the first impression on a skittish shifter!

Ai let his head fall back dramatically. Oh this torture, would it never end..she did comfort him though. Very much. He was not impressed with the snails pace of the proceedings and he wanted very much for them to finish their speech so that he would know what in tarnation was going on. He tucked his face into Myrida's hair and took quite a few deep breaths. Breathe, Ai. He told himself. Her scent itself was calming to him.

Saraf - Post 3 Saraf glanced down at Arima, giving her a curious look, before he realized what it was that had her questioning him. Oh, right... the rest of the members of their unit. He glanced around for a moment, trying to find any of the members of their unit with his good eye before he looked back to her again, "It should be alright. I'm tough so I think I can deal with their teasing." Of which there would likely be a ton of it if anyone saw the two of them together in such a close manner. He was about to say more when he heard Besian call out for everyone to be 'quiet' which made him twitch ever so slightly. No, no... he had to remember that he wasn't as against him any longer. He didn't like the man in the past but that didn't mean that he couldn't deal with him now. He would figure out what it was that the gathering was up to, report back to his Captain, and then they would decide what to do from there. Unless of course the man was calling them to action today which would make things more difficult. If that were the case he could always send someone else back to the captain and that way he could stay with Arima. It was just a matter of waiting at this point.

Shesha - Post 3 Shesha gave a bit of a twitch at Aqio's various responses to him. The first one being a lot of dripping sarcasm and the second being for him to yet again ignore his question about Lord Laofay and his consort. He blinked slowly, his painted lips twisting slightly, before he turned forward again. It seemed that someone was in a mood... and Shesha didn't really feel like dealing with it. Not when there was already far too much going on around them. Breaking away from the surly fish he started forward to get himself a better place to watch from as a big, broad shouldered Oban called for quiet among those gathered. It seemed that things were going to start? Well, he'd continue to watch, get a feel for who was present, and what other information he could gather until the big man started to talk.

Aqio- Post 3 He hissed into the others ears. "For your information I was looking for them...their over there." he pointed as he made sure to keep next to the other. Falling silent as it was called for. He shrank a little to keep himself small...
