ASESINO
[/i] Asesino rambled on, but she got her thoughts out for only the other judges to hear. If this was one of her own children, she'd probably tear Funeral's apart and then let Jasper tear their child apart.. but this situation was not what that called for. In all honesty, Asesino was glad that Funeral selected judges rather than make the decision himself. [/ul][/blockquote]

Zalui Xemvoi | Osic Donovan
He listened closely, taking everything into consideration but really his mind was already made up as soon as the younger Donovan began speaking. Once the two were finished, Zalui turned an ear to the red 'ess that spoke to their small group. "Indeed." He grumbled lightly. "But the point still stands that if he feels that strongly for his mother then who's to say it won't happen again. I for one say he's a liability and if he wanted Najisi safe so badly after all she has done and has committed... Then exile him and let him make his decision on whether to go it alone or be with her if she means that much. He may be young, but he is damn well old enough to know how things work." He paused then, letting his eyes travel from face to face of their jury party. "I'm sure we can all agree that the boy has always had immature tendencies. I do believe now is the time he learns to grow up. And sometimes that calls for sacrifice." And yes, in Zalui's eyes that included that Osic should have turned a blind eye on Najisi at the battle and allowed fate to run it's course.
Osic now stared at his paws, ears flat against his skull.

Grenade DonovanHe listened in quiet contemplation, considering the other judge's callings just as well. It hung, for him, on the delicate balance of showing an example to the others in the pride, and in La Morte. "He made a mistake in showing La Morte how useful he could be to them." He sighed, glaring at Osic. "I find myself agreeing with Asesino and Zalui both. Death is a high cost, but letting him sit out the war means I and everyone else with good eyes and ears would have to babysit him so that he doesn't divulge information to the other side, thinking he's doing both sides a service. You would breed a naive hero by letting him live and showing that example to both prides."
"I move for exile for the duration of the war, and if he shows up on La Morte's doorstep, the exile be permanent. It isn't his place to meddle in the affairs of things he wouldn't understand. Let it be a reminder to all that if your stomach is too weak for this sort of thing, then Meurtrier is not a place for you."

ASESINO
[/i] She asked, looking back to Zalui. If all of the judges could agree to that, then they would present their result to Funeral. Little did they know, Cocaine's search party was nearing Shadow Veldt. They would be home soon, and they had plans for Osic...[/ul][/blockquote]

Just cause I guess. Small bump even.
Devyn had heard is fathers call for certain names and he flicked his ears. Slowly he approached from a different side from where they had all gathered from. He watched from a slight distance, close enough to hear his brothers and Kazbeks testimonies but not close enough to eavesdrop on the judges. He swallowed and shifted back and forth in anticipation. Maybe even a bit of fear for his brother.

COCAINE, FRACTURE (DECEASED), ASESINO
[/i] Asesino stated loud and clear. Her gaze fell on Osic, hoping that the lad would take it well. "Actually, he's coming with us."[/color] Cocaine's voice came and it caused Asesino to jump. She turned to face him. With the commander was the rest of the search party. They looked tired and angry. Cocaine had arrived just in time to hear what Asesino had to say, and he didn't mean to crash the party, but Osic was.. "He's our bargaining chip. Funeral... CIRCA!"[/color] Cocaine called out loudly. No doubt it may grab attention. He'd been gone with the party for nearly a month. They had to break the news of Fracture's death to Odysseia, and explain the deal to Funeral. He turned to the gang and nodded. They could head off. Whoever carried Fracture's body was to drop it near the clearing. No doubt Ody would see it soon, and he'd have to explain that, too. [/ul][/blockquote]

Donato, Shinku, Malluce, Devyn, DarkStar, DarkMoon, Samara, Caitlyn
Donato had carried Fracture's body for the majority of the way. He nodded to Cocaine when the Commander nodded to drop the body off, and he carefully slid the body from his back.
Shinku had woken up at some point during their travels back, but his head still hurt from the nasty clash he had with that other male, and when Cocaine dismissed them to rest, he was one of the first to limp off a few paces away and lay down.
Malluce noted Devyn approaching even closer when the party returned, and he moved over to bump into his shoulder, his weariness making him move past their differences.
Samara was where ever Ryssor was and would approach with her.
DarkStar approached with DarkMoon upon hearing the Commander's call for Circa. DarkMoon had a round little belly by now and when they saw Donato she nearly rushed him but paused upon seeing the body upon her son's back. She sighed softly and sat closely with DarkStar, and Donato nodded to them upon seeing them, but merely stepped back to Cocaine's side.
The 'ess had caught wiff of a scent she had not caught in a long time. Though it was somewhat faint, she had followed it back anyway, and it led her to the pride she had left from long ago. Wandered off and getting lost was more like it but none the less, she was back home. It surprised her to find that this scent had been so far from it all, and she watched from behind the party as they spoke among themselves, as more gathered, Curiousity pricked at her pelt but she remained distant - for now.
However she stepped forward, not wanting to wait any longer, as silence descended among the crowd. She tilted her head as she weaved among them - hopefully none stopping her as she approached the great red and black male that stood among them. "Daddy?" She called softly to. She could see his expression - he wasn't pleased. She wondered what happened and regretted missing whatever it was. [/blockquote] I knew I was forgetting someone. Post edited.

Circa
She damn near jumped at the yelling. All morning nothing but yelling from the other dominants, for once she was reluctant to see what the commotion was, not knowing that it was her mate's trial. She felt sick, just moving prompted nausea, it was apparent she wasn't feeling too hot. None the less, she got up from the secluded place she had been to see what the commotion was this morning.
When she arrived, her pelt prickled. Osic was there, and so were other Meurtrians, and Cocaine had returned. He looked rather pissed, and fear crept through her body. Her blues moved to her mate for a moment, obvious question on her face. Was this... his trial? The swallowed, feeling a bit sicker... Regardless, she padded up to the Commander, ears pricked. "What's going on?"

Osic Donovan
Exile. Yet, it wasn't permanent. Osic's purples shot up to his red relative. He wanted to glomp her like a cub would upon seeing his mother after a long day of absence. But he remained where he sat. If he kept out of the way then he could return. Whether his slate would be completely wiped clean was something to worry about when the time came. All the male cared about was the fact that he and Circa could one day be officially together. The thought had him inwardly laughing from sere joy.
Then entered the Commander. Osic froze and stared at Cocaine with a very confused expression. "Going.. Going where?" Yet his words fell upon deaf ears. A body was dragged soon after. It looked familiar but Osic didn't know his name. Gaze flicked up to the Captain as she entered. A smile began to creep upon his face but now was not the time to grin. A pride mate lay dead at their paws and he himself was apparently being taken away. But why? Osic shifted to look at his father.

As long as the group kept going things were fine, but whenever they rested he was more aware of the cuts in his pelt. He shook it off though, knowing it could have gone a lot worse considering the circumstances. They had gotten away with their heads still attached, all thanks to a deal involving some guy who Crowther didn't know. He rolled his shoulders as he approached, his head low as he looked with tired, narrowed eyes upon the group. He didn't really expect a hero's welcome, so he sat down by himself and let out a long, raspy sigh. The Shadow Veldt was a welcoming sight after the battle.
The return of his father had attracted Cassius's attention. He stopped whatever he was doing and followed the group back to the throne, breaking off and standing around once they got there. They didn't look too good. Cassius was glad he didn't go with them. Was that all of them that had returned?

Neo returned, unharmed, carrying Corvette, who was suffering from a bit of poison that had gotten in his gill when he was hydrating in the waters of the jungle. Neo had treated on the way, but he was quite hungry at this point. He dipped his head to Asesino and walked off to the dens, depositing a very happy land shark back where he preferred to be, in what had more or less become his pond. The gray male became more lively in the water, sinking to the bottom to rest.
Suddenly, Neo was flattened by his twin. Jasper groomed his brother as they silently exchanged thoughts. It was an odd sight, but it displayed a degree of closeness usually seen between mates. It was certainly love. Neo nuzzled Jasper, both purring.

As everything was discussed the King was still and silent. And then when the verdict was announced he had just about to nod in approval before a voice rung out. One he hadn't heard and scents he hadn't smelled in quite a bit of time. He lifted abruptly, the explanation vague but his ears perked in interest. He stared at the party - catching the corpse upon Donato's back just before heading to stare at Cocaine once again.
"A bargaining chip?" He rumbled, staring at his son briefly before back to the party, awaiting those called to arrive and staying silent for his Commander to speak.

ODYSSEIA, COCAINE, CARNAL, ASESINO, CASPER
[/i][/color] Cocaine stopped and sighed, shaking his head angrily. "I don't trust Najisi, I don't think she's capable of it, but this Jericho guy, I don't know, he may have actually done it. On the full moon we're bringing Osic to Volcano, and they are bringing Atryn. We will trade them off. That is the deal that was spoken of. Now naturally you can't expect me to play fair.."[/color] His voice trailed off, but he was too tired to continue with that. After a moment of letting his words sink in, for both captain and king, he continued. "We lost two. Caylis was taken, captured, and Fracture has died. I'm not sure what we should do about Caylis, we can't risk another mission to rescue her right now, but perhaps I can strike something up with Najisi while we're at this gathering.. a full moon is still some time away, so we've time to rest at least."[/color] Finally Cocaine stopped. His gaze flickered out to the crowd. A crowd, yes. He could see Casper, his son, gazing wide-eyed at the affection between Neo and Jasper, clearly surprised such beasts could be so.. affectionate. Asesino beside him. Judging by her sides, she purred heavily at the sight of her mate being home again. Carnal some distance away from the Crimson's - naturally - and rather heavily pregnant, too. Others gathered slowly. Kejethan, Geminor, Caine, Nerante - though he was only just outside of his den with Nerry - and others. [/ul][/blockquote]

Jasper gave a final, loving nudge to his brother. Oh, such bromance. Then he got up, tail tip wrapped about his brother's horns, dragging him off as he bounded off to see his family. He put a wing over Asesino and another over Casper and pulled both against him, ignoring the dead body. He did not know the dead individual, so he did not really care. Neo had not either, but he displayed a calmer demeanor than his brother. He started nuzzling his mate and purred loudly. "I love you," he crooned softly, angelic origins showing in the deep bell tones of his voice. Neo just nudged Jasper from the back, rolling his eyes. A slight smirk appeared. He wondered how many were jealous of how loving this family was. From what Neo could see, there were few mated pairs, females just seemed to get knocked up left and right. From what he had heard, the pregnant Carnal had laid with more than one male. Which had been heard through Jasper.
Suddenly Neo shot Jasper a look. "Don't you dare start singing."
"But I'm happy."
Neo glared and headbutted his twin. Smirking, but grateful Jasper was not about to start crooning one of his strange, frightening little tones... Or something else.

RYSSOR[/font]
She'd heard voices. Familiar voices. Her ears pricked up with anticipation - had they really returned? She sprung to her paws, swearing quietly to herself.
God damn she was so lazy. Not awaiting for the arrival of the party.
ATRYN!
The mother bounded out of the den, the million ways the fight played out in her mind. Atryn was there, but Cocaine was not. They were both there. No one was there, for her mind was playing tricks on her again. But lo and behold, she saw Cocaine and the party back.
But no Atryn.
And.. a dead body.
Her joy was immediately replaced with utmost grief, watching Odyessia mourn and grieve over her brother's dead body. Oh no.. another death. The poor female knew what it was like to lose something close to her heart now, and would go through the same pain as she did. Denial, anger.. they were bad emotions. But she'd fall for them, as Ryssor did weeks ago.
Ryssor was still delicate from Damien, but she rarely showed it. She had come to terms with his death, the vigil was a touching service and that was that. He would always be on her mind, but he was gone. As she walked through to the fray, listening in, she grew angry at Cocaine's words.
"What?!" She spoke up. "You're.. you're trading with them?! Are you god damn crazy?!"
She couldn't believe it; Osic for Atryn? The implications of doing this was all too apparent to Ryssor, but the fact was that Funeral was fine with trading away his own blood.. well.. that just hurt her good in the heart. But she didn't say that to Lord Funeral's face. She had the utmost respect for him. So instead she traded skepticism.
She looked to Odyessia and Fracture. "You're seriously going to trade with the fuckers who kidnapped my son and killed Fracture?! Isn't there some other way.. because I wouldn't trust them. They deceived us all before, they formed their own rebellion right under our noses, Najisi mated with a traitor.. how could you even think that this trade would go well?!"[/color]
