Anjafey was about to tell Ollure to calm herself when Kazuki suddenly appeared in front of her.
The purple and blue female was at a loss. To tell Kazuki what Ari had said and possibly anger him, therefore making matters worse for Ari...or to stay silent, pretend that she was just in a bad mood?
She knew she'd have to be the one to tell him; Ollure would see to it quickly if she did not, and her new mate was in a much more volatile mood than she was at the moment. Sighing heavily, she picked herself up from the ground and adjusted her various modifications, carefully ignoring the smallest one branded on her shoulder.
With an anxious glance at the harried-looking Ari, she winced slightly and tried to think of how to say this. "Kazuki," she started with a sigh. turning her head to look back up at the Elder she considred a freind. "Ari has suspended my role as a Carer. He did not word it like that, of course, but I've been over it in my mind, and I'm not sure what else 'take a break from your duties as Carer' could possibly mean. I believe he is afraid I will hurt your children after the incident with my former niece long ago. I do not blame him for that, but he doesn't understand that I am over that period of time, nor does he understand that the rapidity of my relationship with Ollure is not the same as it was with Rendo."
She spoke in hushed otnes, not wishing for others around htem to overhear. She had already caused Ari problems, and she was adding to them now. If others overheard and did not like Ari's ruling, Anja couldn't imagine what all might happen.

Kazuki listened quietly but as he heard the news one could see the emotions drain from his face. His paws seem to spread out against the ground then clench. He did not look pleased but at the same time he couldn't believe it.
"Anjafey...are you sure about about this?" Kazuki then revealed a hurt look in his eyes. He understood that Ari didn't want Anjafey near their kids and he had respected that but to go so far as to completely ban her from her duties. Now that he felt was the last straw. Ari was over reacting over this. Kazuki shook his head. He was shaking a bit trying to control himself. Though he did look up at Anjafey and smiled somewhat forced.
"Do not worry my friend. I shall speak with him. " He looked apologetic at Ollure. Now he knew why she looked so angered.
"Forgive my mate. He tends to be rather foolish at times." Kazuki sighed again shaking his head. His beads jingling against his neck and collar. His tail curled around himself almost protectively.

She listened as Kazuki spoke and then looked to Anjafey as her gaze softened a bit. The fact that an Elder would become paranoid enough over the actions of a tribe member was uncommon, given how closely knit tribes usually were. This lack of faith that Ari had expressed towards Anja had nearly sparked Ollures incredibly volatile temper. She was rarely angered but when she was it was never a pleasant experience. She just hoped Anjafey would never have to experience the brunt of it.
"I understand Kazuki, but that does not change the fact that it upsets me. Anjafey is very kind, at least she has been to me... Obviously there would be reasons for her actions and Ari has refused to acknowledge that sometimes our emotions fully get the best of us. Which... I think this, on his end, is a case of."
She sighed and shrugged, the color in her eyes dimming to normalcy before she bowed her head to the Elder.
"I should like to speak then with Ari and you shortly about my joining the tribe... As he said he would need to speak with you, I think it would be best for us all to speak together."

"I understand Ollure I do.." Kazuki sighed once more looking away to the side. How could Ari do this? Sure Anjafey had lashed out and at a kit, but at the same time she was not in the right mind. Mainly, of course due to Rendo and other stress. He lifted his head to speak to Ollure.
"I know she is kind. I had assumed that Ari had only meant our children. Not her entire duty. I honestly did not know. I also feel that Anjafey is a very kind person and was pushed at a bad time by a Kana kit. " Kazuki smiled sheepishly. He knew how the Kana members were. After all most of them were family. Heck his own sister was mated to the Elder of the tribe. He watched Ollure again thinking about how to address this issue.
"Well let me speak to him first on this issue, but if you feel you need to say something. Then I will allow it as long as you control you anger." Kazuki smiled softly. He was trying to remain positive. Inside of his mind though he was praying to the Moon Fox that this would go well.

She shook her head towards Kazuki and smiled a bit.
"I will trust in you to handle your mate... It would be unbecoming of me to vent my stress at the Elder of the tribe I wish to join now... Would it not?"
She grinned and curled closer to Anjafey before letting out a soft sigh.
"If I am permitted to join the tribe, I should like to be a hunter... but I don't normally do the food hunting bit... I hunt more... Interesting things."
She turned her head towards the markings along her legs and then the jewelry that she wore.
"I have a tendency to travel and I'm well... a bit of a rogue..."
She grinned sheepishly at admitting to her profession. It was uncommon for her to speak openly about being a thief.
"However... I never steal from those close to me, it's just part of who I am... I'd never steal from the tribe, simply the two-legged beings that wander the bad smelling places."

Kazuki nodded at her first statement agree. Chances are if she did that Ari would have a much harder time allowing her to join. He smiled back a bit sheepishly but continued to listen. He was surprised to hear she was a rogue but she did not seem to bad.
"Well that seems to be alright I would think. I would like to hope that you did not harm others. " Then he remembered how most if not all felt the warming call of the Moon Fox. He looked at Ollure unsure if she has but he found he should ask now.
"What about the Moon Fox? Have you heard its call? Or at least felt something about the moon?" Kazuki looked up towards the sky unfortunately not seeing or finding the moon near by. Maybe it was a new moon or it was hidden behind the trees. His gaze then returned to Ollure.

Ollure smiled at Kazuki's question and very nonchalantly turned her gaze towards a spot in the sky that seemed almost the same color as the rest.
"I was born beneath the moon... My sister is celestially attuned to the sun, where I am with the moon... I live by night for the most part, and I look to the moon for comfort and protection. It allows me to get where I need to be safely, get what I need to obtain unhindered, and be on my way in peace... The moon is my beacon, I follow it with every waking moment, and even when it is not visible in the sky during the day... I can still point to where it is. I stare now at the moon, can you not see it? I see it as plainly as I see you, Elder Kazuki... The bands of silver on my body are birthmarks granted to me by the moon, as the bands of gold upon my sister are a gift from the sun... You could say I.... Feel its call."
After a short while, as she contemplated his question, the moon shifted and a tiny sliver became visible as the start of the next phase became more apparent. As the pale moonlight fell over her, her eyes began to glow even more eerily than normal, and the bands about her legs glimmered as a soft breeze passed about them.
"I... can't say much more in regards to that question.. I hope that answered it for you..."

Kazuki listened carefully. Though he was put off a bit. This girl seemed to be very in tuned with the moon or was exaggerating. He wasn't sure how to take it but she did apparently feel some sort of call. He nodded and smiled faintly.
"Well it seems to do have sort of calling coming from the Moon Fox. I am sure that Ari will not deny you entry." He bowed his head at her. though he was still unsure. If she did the same to Ari in his current state he did not know how the other Elder would take it. Though he could see the moon couldn't he? He was an Elder and thus that should make him closer to the Moon. He looked up at the sky again the moon was peeking out now but he still felt uneasy. He shook his head and put on a faint smile. He rather not worry them.

She watched Kazuki as he spoke and simply nodded quietly and leaned closer to Anjafey. She did not wish to speak further on the matter, as talking about it always seemed to make her uneasy, though she knew what she said to be true. The moon was practically everything to her, and the sun everything to her sister.
"Anja... you've been awfully quiet love."

Kin'iro just observed the whole scene quietly from where she lay. She couldn't hear what exactly Kazuki was talking about with Ollure and Anjafey, but from their mannerisms it seemed to be something of a serious matter. And then there was the issue of the new foxes who had followed Kazuki there that looked uncannily like the two elders. Their children perhaps? Most likely, she decided. In the back of her mind she also noted to herself that she hadn't seen her sister in a little while. Hmm, where has she gotta to this time? I hope she's alright. While the two had been inseparable as kits, as of late they had been venturing off on their own more and more it seemed. Everything was changing so fast... And Kin'iro wasn't necessarily sure if she liked it all. Far too much tension here. I hope that it doesn't bother Lilette too much...

"It's not my place to say anything," Anjafey told Ollure with a shrug, noting the tension and deciding to stay out of it. She looked up at Kazuki and msiled grimly. "I apologize, last night has left me emotionally drained. You know that I'm grateful, though, I should hope, old friend."
She glanced over as she heard one of the new children, vibly tensed, then forced herself to relax and lay back down. "I'm sorry, both of you, I just do not know what to say about most anything right now."

Through all of this Sieg remained where he was, near Thea, just observing. Kazuki had come back, and that was a good sign... The kits that followed him must've been his and Ari's. They surely looked like the two.
Glancing to the sky for a moment, his thoughts turned to his mate. ...He wished that Lila were here with him now, that they were of the same tribe. It would have made things easier, to have her close. What if they had kits? ...They would have to stay with Lila. If he was granted a Hunter's position in the tribe, he couldn't care for the kits.

"Will she be joining this tribe?" At the moment, there weren't any kits around, so it wouldn't be too much of a strain to ask Thea to care for Nako's adopted kit.
He was still concerned about everything else, though. Especially if she chose to leave the tribe. As a parent himself, he was not about to kick the kit off of tribe lands. Still, if they kit didn't want to join the tribe, he worried about how that parting would go.
And then he noticed Kin'iro, also with a kit. Moon Fox. He left the tribe for not even a day, and all of this happened! And there was Kazuki talking with Anjafey and Ollure. He didn't even need to know what words were spoken to know that this most likely wasn't going to end well, with Kazuki being a friend to Anjafey.
How his mate could be friends with someone clearly so mentally unstable, Ari had not the faintest clue.
"Hello, Yuchia," Ari muttered distractedly.

Ollure released a soft sigh and turned her gaze towards Ari. The issues that had arisen between her lover and the Elder were taxing her patience. It was not common for her to get upset, but when someone she cared deeply about was as much in a fog as Anja as a result of someone else's decisions, it pushed her blood to near the boiling point.
"Anja..."
She sighed again and rose from her spot on the ground and then moved to get in line to speak with Ari. She spoke once more, but this time quietly under her breath.
"I'll do what I can to make you happy..."

Lilette fell behind her mother's large paw when she saw the elder's purple eyes fall on her. Never had she seen a fox this big before. He was enormous! Looking around wildly Lilette spotted another giant fox, his tail swishing around behind him. Eyes widening the flowered kit darted over to her mother again, obviously aware she had stopped in her tracks.
"Mommy..." Lilette started quietly, looking around again at the members who were all gathered around the clearing. "I'm scared..." She whined gently, wincing slightly when she happened to step on somethign sharp.
Lilette wasn't going to like this place, she could feel it.
He hadn't seen any signs of her wanting to join. Hoshi was a silent devil, used to her mind and tricks and surprises. He had yet to hear the kit utter even a word. Nako had already started to guess she was death, or mute.
"I don't think so." He said quietly, glancing down at the black and white she-kit. "Ari, she hasn't spoken a word since birth. And... I'm starting to worry if she'll be able to fit in a tribe. I fear she might be mute... Or worse, blind."
Hoshi blinked at her father.
She could hear, just he fact she couldn't speak. Her so called 'voice box' didn't work when she came out of her BCR. Though, it wasn't quite a surprise she tried speaking, but the words just didn't come out. Everything was a silent breath! She couldn't speak!
