Tama was deliriously happy now. He had Muscail again. All was well with the world. At least...it was until he felt a rather eerie pair of eyes on him. He turned, only to meet a calculating pale blue gaze...One that was eerily like Muscail's...and yet much older at the same time.

Codail had gone out looking for her twin, curious as to why she'd been gone so long. Muscail could be mischievous...but not late. And when she saw her sister with a strange, very white male...she could only think one thing: WHO. Who had gone and charmed her sister? Or was this just a friend? Well...she'd know soon enough. As she strode forward, she leveled a calculating gaze on the male.

"Hello, Muscail...who's your friend?"

The sound of Codail's voice caused Múscail's ears to perk slightly, and she quickly turned towards her twin with a bright smile, moving to nudge her affectionately. Her tail was flicking behind her like she was a cub again, and there was a light in her eyes that had been missing for a long time.

"Codail! This is Tama!" she said happily, smiling at her sister.

Codail blinked and nuzzled her sister back. "This...is Tama?" He...he didn't look CAPABLE of breaking someone's heart like he had her twin's! Her eyes narrowed now. "I hope he came to apologize...else he's going to gain some scars, sister dear." It wasn't often that Codail wanted to hurt someone...but when it came to her family, Codail could be a bit PROTECTIVE.

Tama thought he couldn't get any whiter...but he was certain his skin beneath the fur did. The glare Codail leveled at him was...frightening. "I...I apologized, ma'am." Something about her seemed older than her twin. "And...I realized my mistake in what I did." His head and ears and eyes drooped. "Even the densest of my friends when it comes to such things noticed it."

"He apologized... He came a long way from home to get here, sister," Múscail said softly, turning to smile at Tama. After a long moment, she turned back to whisper into her sister's ear. "He looks like Mother Moon herself blessed him."

Codail kept her gaze on him a bit longer...then nodded. "If you have forgiven him...than I will give him a chance." But she would keep an eye on him. After all, she had only one twin sister in the world. She smiled at Muscail and nodded, whispering back. "Perhaps...but he's still young, Muscail."

Tama perked up a bit, happy his love's sister was giving him a chance too! The day was full of good things! "Thank you." He bowed. "I am Tama'sindikiza." A proper introduction. That's what would be good.

"I know. But I'm sure this isn't his first life in the wheel, sister dear," Múscail whispered back before stepping away, smiling between Codail and Tama. She hoping the two got along.

Codail bowed back. Smart boy. "I am Codail. And you'd best not hurt my sister like did again." She frowned at him...then smiled. "You've gotten through me...for now." He'd get it from her sister's little ones soon enough. Especially Ia'eh. "So...is he coming home with us? Or is he going back?"

Tama gulped. Something about her words were foreboding...then he smiled. "If...you'll have me, I'm coming with you. I just have to tell my sister and friend. They...they were the ones who got me off my butt from moping." He'd been utterly MISERABLE after his big blunder...but Narci and Irit had gotten his butt in gear.

"I told him we're moving again... He's determined to stay with me," Múscail said to her sister, smiling and moving to give Tama a soft 'kiss' on the cheek.

Codail chuckled. "Good. I'd hate to see you loose that new light in your eyes, Muscail." It suited her sister. And made her wonder when she herself might have it again...quite likely never. "Just be sure he does his part. And...I have to warn you about my son Caide, Tama. He's...curious. Beyond normality."

Tama 'kissed' Muscail back, purring. He would go wherever she did now. Well...not EVERYWHERE. But never again would they be in different prides, separated from each other. Tama blinked at Codail. "Beyond normal? I'm scared to ask how..."

"He's gotten his head stuck in rabbit holes... And scratched his face looking in nests of thorns..." Múscail explained, sighing and shaking her head absently. Caide was certainly a strange one... But he was well meaning.

Codail nodded. "He's always asking questions. And if you don't have the answer...well, he'll go looking for someone or something that does. It's...endearing and irritating at the same time." She sighed. She loved her cubs dearly...really.

Tama laughed softly. "Oh boy...poor cub. Maybe...I can help with his curiosity a little? Mom and the nannies of the Pridelands and my friend Elua taught me a lot of things about the world..." Maybe he could answer some of the unanswerable questions?

"Try to keep him out of trouble too. We don't want a repeat of the thorn bush incident," Múscail said, laughing softly at her sister's words.

Codail groaned and nodded. It'd taken him days to heal from that one. And he still bore the scars. "He blends into the mists though...so be very careful. He's easy to trip over if he's gotten out of your sight."

Tama nodded. "I'll do my best!" He'd be the best uncle he could! It was his first time, after all. Kind of. He'd not really gotten much chance to hang around Angavu's cubs before Irit and Narci dragged him off.
