TAU POST 2

Tau nodded his head in approval at his and Liira's shared exasperation. "It's like everyone is just itching to fight around here. Should've stayed in Tale." He grumbled.

He offered his hands out to Tyyn and lifted her onto his shoulders to perch. "They're saying that they're all doo doo heads and dummies and don't know what they want." Tau stuck his tongue out at his daughter.



LIIRA POST 2

Liira let Tau take Tyyn off of her hands before lightly punching him in the arm. "Don't encourage her like that." It was like Tau was trying to go against everything Liira did to bring up Tyyn right. 'Doo doo heads' was not an appropriate phrase for a 3 year old, though it was probably accurate.

"Tyyn, they're talking about fighting. The Alkidike want to fight again, but they want to fight a far away place. They're talking about whether to help the far away place." It was about as good an explanation she could give a 3 year old girl, though it was missing all of the nuances of history as well as the gravity of the choice.



TYYN POST 2

Tyyn giggled and screeched as she was lifted high up onto her daddy's shoulders. She was so high up now! She was taller than anyone else. Though not the people on the stage still.

Tyyn listened to what both her parents had to say, scrunching her face in thought. Most of it was over her head, and she didn't get it. "It sounds like they're doo doo heads." She crossed her arms over her chest. If it didn't make sense then that made them dummies, right?

SATHE POST 2

Sathe stopped her search for a familiar person to listen to the chatter going on around her. It seemed split, but Sathe had hopes that more would come to their senses and realize that it was times like these that they needed to stand together and fight.

What was to stop the Alkidike from taking over Jauhar and Tale next? The gods knew that they talked of Jauhar as theirs from the beginning and years of bad blood between the races wasn't about to change that anytime soon. Letting them through to Sauti would only strengthen their resolve.

She picked up her search and spotted not just someone she knew, but an entire group of familiar and wanted faces near the edge of the crowd. Aminah and two of her children. She didn't see her mate anywhere, or the third... Shima. But she hurried her steps and closed the distance. "Aminah! You're here. I thought you might have stayed home for this..." She trailed off. Aminah was always trying to help, but with young children, she had thought she would have kept some distance. She was relieved to see her though.

MIRIN POST 2

Mirin pushed through to the front of the crowd and leaned her chin on the stage, watching the leaders of the races faces as they listened to everyone discussing. C'mon now. You couldn't tell her that they didn't know what to do.

She saw Enki's face almost twitch when someone started mentioning talking to the elders. She knew he wanted to fight and help. And from the looks of his face, he didn't think talking to the elders would work at all.

Which had her thinking; why would it? If the Alkidike were out of control... wouldn't they be out of control to everyone... even their own elders? Like... if someone from Chibale had spread the rumor of them moving out... then not all of them wanted it... but it was looking like they couldn't be stopped. It gave her brain something to munch on while she waited on something from the leaders.

Mano Post 2

The Matori man found himself scanning the area around where he was standing, his golden eyes alight as he studied each of the people as he watched by. They were rather amazing these tribes, it just made him want to get that much closer to them! Ah, they were amazing weren't they? He was so smart to come up north like this he though to himself. A happy sound escaped from his lips when he spotted a rather beautiful Shifter woman there before him, one that had him lighting up that much more, "Ah! Hello there beautiful!" He chirped happily, taking a few steps toward her. Oh yes, this was more like it, she was definitely the sort that he wanted to spend his time with!

Just as he was thinking this, eager to close the space between himself and her, he went crashing into someone else. Once he was able to right himself he turned to see who it was that he had bumped into and he blinked a couple times, "Oh! Wow, I'm sorry my handsome friend, I didn't mean to bump into you like that." Oh! A Wind Tribesman? They really were one of his favorites he thought to himself, doing his best not to bounce in place even though he was quite excited over a beautiful woman and a handsome man to chat with. What a great day!

Phaedra Post 2

Not wanting others to think she was trigger happy she stayed silent waiting to see where Enki would go with everything that was said. Phae still believed that they should block the path of the extremists. It was then that her mind wandered away from her and she found herself thinking about a certain Matori. Would his Alkidike be part of the ones that wanted to take over Sauti? Her green eyes went to the ground as she tried to think about that would make him feel. Phaedra imagined it would break his heart. It was then that she wondered if the Alkidike that had taken earthlings as their mates would stand against their sisters. There was just to much to consider in a decision like this.

Takoda Post 1
Licking his lips he looked to Jacinthus before shifting his weight, he had come with Keilana to the meeting and it always felt a bit awkward when the four of them got together. Though he offered Chalcedony a small smile he soon found himself looking to the leaders and then the crowd around them.

"I don't think its...all of them Jacinthus..I have met and worked with quite a few alkidikes..." He managed softly, trying to recall if he really explained where he had vanished for a chunk of time the last time he had to get help from the alkidikes.

Keilana Post 1

Coming up with Takoda she deliberately knocked into her brother, having noted her brothers attitude towards Chalcedony she gave the archer a cold look before shifting her hammer from the left shoulder to the right and coming to a stop. Perhaps she was being a bit...over eager in the anticipation for battle.

"I will do what needs to be done to keep those I hold dear safe." She snorted looking around trying to spot her two sons wishing they had come with her.

"Where are the boys?" She inquired looking to Chal as if expecting the father of her children to keep tabs on their kids.

Jacinthus Post 2

Jacinthus turned to look at his mate, giving a bit of a sighing sound, before he lifted a hand up to rest it on his shoulder, giving a nod, "I know it's not all of them, just as it might not have been all the Obans, but it doesn't mean that this isn't a complete pain. We shouldn't even have to deal with a situation like this, one would think that after the war with the Obans that maybe, just maybe, we could get a bit of peace." He said, complaining a bit. He would never understand why people wanted to go running off to war but if they started something then he'd do what he'd always done, that being helping to fix things, "You know what would be nice? If they would take care of their own instead of making it the problem of everyone else in the world." That part a bit muttered.

"I'd much rather this end in a peaceful manner, I really don't feel like fighting a whole new war." It really was tiring to have to fight people. He much preferred using his skills for better things, like hunting and feeding his family and others in the village. He didn't want to use his bow against Alkidike or Earthlings, but it seemed that he was going to be forced to do so yet again, "For the time being we should think first of Yera's safety, it may make me seem selfish and cold but it's our village that is on the border and the one that they will pass by if they go in force toward Sauti. We will be the first to see them from here and will be able to decide what to do based on their numbers."

Chalcedony Post 2

Chalcedony gave a nod before he gave Takoda a glance, taking in the smile, before he gave him a slight smile in return. Always awkward he thought to himself, brushing the feeling aside best that he could though. He had more to worry about they all that. From there he turned back to where Keilana was, listening to what she was saying, before he nodded. Fighting for those they cared about was what he felt the most comfortable about, the idea of fighting with the Alkidike though, it was strange. He'd grown up with them looming over them like a threat, knew that they were dangerous and something that could one day attack. After so long without a real incident though maybe he'd become complacent? The attacks of late proved that they were dangerous.

"Hm?" He glanced around for a moment, then said, "Aysun is riding around on that scaly Oban beast of his. I hope he's actually trying to enjoy the festival, as difficult as it is. As for Chandra..." He glanced around a moment, "I'd say somewhere with his nose in a book? We should see about trying to herd them together so that they are either back here with us or at the very least together looking after each other? What do you think, Keilana?"
