Circa Da'ei & Kazbek & Edmund
(To avoid confusion, this can be before The Escape if that's ok? I wanted Circa to have a nice casual post before the members left and stirred up things, a little bit of time to enjoy her position calmly I guess.)
It was only a day after she had been called to her new position, and to be honest; it didn't feel too awful different so far. Excluding the fact she was required to check in with Funeral often and walk amongst the pride members with some sort of authority, but she was quite okay with that. She often watched over the pride anyway, people watching was a fascinating past time for the red 'ess, but now it was for a more profound purpose. Other members noticed her quicker now, she no longer felt as if she were a completely silent observer any longer, it felt quite good actually. Laying upon a rock, she gazed over the pools in front of the grotto where cubs were currently playing, to which she gave a soft smile.
Kazbek was chasing a rolling moss-ball along one pool and swatting it in to retrieve it in a pointless but entertaining cycle, whilst Edmund sat looking at him longingly. He wanted to play with the younger cub, but felt it almost an injustice... His father lay in the ground and he wanted to have fun. Looking back over to the rock he leaned on, he let out a small sigh. Was he allowed to be happy anymore? His mother was still a wreck and his siblings were about as silent as himself about it. Looking up to the watcher, who had began to frown sadly at the cub's discontent, he tried to grant her a subtle smile. Circa wavered her claw towards the other cub enthusiastically, but Edmund simply sat looking shy. The blue-eyes 'ess took a heavy sigh and gazed around, wondering to herself; where is Brynneth anyway?

Corona Sulliveri
Small body lay pressed against the side of the new temporary Captain. There were only three adults the youth could always be found with; Brynneth, Circa and the father. Ears quickly flattened as her thinking had to fix that. It would be only two adults now.
Gaze followed the red younger as he played. Her head tilted slightly as Corona then looked to her brother. When was the last time the two had played? Amongst each other and others. And then Alfwin. Usually he was full of those superior questions of his, but he was often much quieter of late. "Aunt Circa?" The little 'ess mewed pitifully up. "When is everything going to be okay again?"

Alfwin strode about the land, looking no more apathetic than he did before his father had passed. The pre-adolescent male had absolutely no skill dealing with his emotions, so he ignored them. Upon spotting his brother, the demonic male perked his dark ears and sped up his steps. "Edmund," he called quietly. When he reached his brother, he ran his head against the other's entire length before plopping down, nose pressed to his brothers neck. His bright, green eyes flitted up to the form of Circa, his tail twitching as he now regarded her as a stronger female presence than his own mother. She was the one whom he would seek out if he had questions. He was quite proud of her.
"Are you doing okay?" he murmured to Edmund. His brother was much more sensitive than himself. Alfwin's behavior was more often than not motivated out of logic and reason, emotion having very little influence on his actions. He spotted his sister, then. They had not interacted much of late. But his primary concern was his brother. Perhaps his feelings for Edmund ran a bit deeper than those of brotherly love.

Brynneth approached the clearing and sat down with her cubs with a comforting smile, attempting to be strong. "Hey, guys. Let's try to stay strong. Icarus wishes us to be happy, I know he does. Now, let's get outta the emotion and have fun!" she said, trying to cheer them up, winking at Circa, referring to that she was feeling better, she knew that she had to cheer up somehow! "Where do ya guys wanna go?" she said with a grin on her face.
Caylis approached to see her son playing with a little mouse. "Everything alright here, Kaz? Why don't you play with Alfwin, Corona and Edmund? Brynneth seems to be out of her shell and wants to cheer them up. It'd use a lot of strength and those little grins of yours to cheer them up," she said with a smirk but with a warning glare. "But don't make them angry or stressed, they've been through a lot. You should invite Iarri and Estavan too, to let them get to know each other." she purred with a smile. "If you're shy, I can introduce them to ya, how's that?" she said, looking over to the temporary captain with a nod of respect before standing up to walk over to Circa, sitting down beside her. "Hello, young one. Enjoying your days as captain? What's it like?" she said, her eyes interested yet curious. She never had power over anyone but maybe in the future, she would grab followers for her clan in mind and leave Meurtrier... maybe she'd come back if it was too hard. That was one thing to talk to Funeral about... how would Cassius react to this? She liked the male but how would he feel? She felt as if she would let him down if she left. She pushed that away, she needed to spend more time with her family and pride.

CHARACTERS
[/i] Viciado said as she stepped forward. Her voice was firm yet warm. A mothers fierce love and understanding. Although it was a question and thus making it optional, something about her tone of voice hinted that Viciado wouldn't take no for an answer.
Kodiac spotted Caylis near Circa, the temporary captain. Thoughts of how that was going for her riddled his mind. None of his business though.. he had other things to attend to. Ladies to sway. Cubs to raise. The male walked up to both females and offered a nod before he moved down and toward the children. His children at least. Kazbek. Kodiac laid down to watch them, making his body a rather good spot to climb on should they decide to make him into their target.
Balthier II was not surprised nor disappointed that he had no won the position for temporary captain. Circa would do a fine job and he was sure of it. Besides that he was rather lazy lately and watching over everyone seemed like some sort of stalking task that he simply had no interest in. In conclusion, Balthier II thought he would have been a rubbish captain. Nonetheless he was curious how things were going and made his way to Circa. Some red beast passed them; Circa and Caylis, and then Balthier flopped down with them. "Yeah Circa, how's it going? I bet it must be bloody brilliant, eh?" He said, a little too enthusiastically.

Brynn nodded and went outside, a paw raised for the cubs to wait, Vicadio was very experienced with cubs and healing, might as well take her advice, she stood, nodding to Vicadio with respect. "Something very important, I assume?" she said, her gaze gleaming, knowing that she would try not to back down. She was sure that she'd make her words turn into actions.
Caylis turned her head to Balthier II, with a casual smirk, she nodded to him with respect. She almost always had a smirk on her face, it was a habit for her. Suddenly, goo-goo eyes lit up as she saw the BloodBeast, father of Iarri, Kazbek and Estavan. She noticed Vicadio noting to Brynneth to have a word. It must've been deadly important. She shrugged it off, it was none of her business, though she worried for the cubs. Instead, she turned to Balthier II, she noticed that he was rather enthusiastic, he was one of the contestants for the battle for the positions. He was slightly annoying to her but that was his personality, and that's the way he was, she wouldn't put words in his mouth.

Circa Da'ei & Kazbek & Edmund
(Whitesnow, please wait until I get a post in before you post again, it makes things so much easier when a lot of people have replied ^^)
Circa's eyes widened as Corona finally spoke up beside her, and her ears lay back. Bending her head back to nudge the cub's head, she purred enthusiastically. "It can be okay now if you let it, Icarus wouldn't want you to stay sad forever." She mewed, flicking her tail towards Edmund, "Why don't you play with your brother, he looks like he needs it." She said with an encouraging nudge to get the cub up, before her head swiveled towards others approaching. Brynneth came and looked a bit happier, but almost as soon as she offered her two cents to her cubs Viciado called for her; and Circa likely knew the reason, but wouldn't count her chickens.
Edmund's head had tilted up at his mother's words but faded again as she was called away, shoving again against the rock. He heard his brother's soft question and tried to offer a smile, and a faint nod. He deeply appreciated his brother's care and muzzle in his fur, he purred lightly and leaned on him, whining a bit. "I'm ok, but you?" Meanwhile Kazbek gave his mother a look, challenging. "Me, shy?" He huffed, looking towards Edmund with a sort of sad face. He did feel bad for the other kid, but didn't really know how to approach him, what if he came off too strong? Watching his mom walk off to Circa, he smirked and padded over to Edmund and Alfwin, offering a cheerful smile. "Hey!" he chirped, "Wanna play?" Though Edmund looked very skeptical at the younger one, he gave a hesitant look towards Circa and his brother before nodding with a shy half smile to the younger cub, hoping his brother would agree as well, "Sure." He gazed up once again to look for his sister.
The captain nodded happily, before turning to Caylis and now Balthier, who had now came upon her. Both overly enthusiastically asked her about her new position, and her pelt grew hot. "Well uh... It's not hard I guess. It's only been a few days and I don't feel too awful different." She said modestly, suddenly looking around once again in search of someone, but she pushed it from her mind.

Corona Sulliveri
Face brightened from the nudge, yet her little green eyes still held much sadness. The cub too purred, tongue running once across the older 'ess's lower shoulder; a silent but clear thank you.
Gaze then moved to her brothers. Corona took it as her time to depart towards the boys as more adults approached and began speaking to Circa. Body rubbed lovingly between Brynneth's forelegs before the youth turned towards the three. "Sure! Of course we wanna play." Cora chirped optimistically. A smile was plastered on her face now. The new captain was right, their father wouldn't want them to be sad for forever. And besides, she wanted to be strong for her brothers. Alfwin clearly was trying to console their sibling. Corona figured if he saw that she could appear outwardly happy then things wouldn't be so bad.

Alfwin frowned a bit as his mother approached and his muzzle wrinkled slightly, eyes narrowed. While he would not voice it, he partially blamed her for Icarus's death. She had stood by as Tanya attacked. One female. A snort came as he thought on it. Never would he let his siblings down like that. He would be strong for them. And that would mean abandoning certain things for the moment. He would try to do what his father would have... Or at least what he would do as a father. He watched Viciado lead his mother away and visibly relaxed. "I'm tired. I did laps this morning around the territory. I'm training for Raegan. I want him to know we're strong," he stated nonchalantly, pressing his head against Edmund and sat up. However, his eyes spied a rather large, freakish figure. The biggest monster he had ever seen, larger than even Cocaine. Wicked horns sprouted from its skull and giant fangs hung over its lips. Slowly, and some how, silently, it approached Circa.
Neo Crimson looked down upon the red female, expression bored as always. Jasper was aloof for now, thus it was his obligation to rectify the situation, as he was sure that Jasper's behavior had offended her. They needed no enemies, as there were already so many to worry about. "Circa, allow me to apologize for my brother's behavior yesterday." His voice was deep and monotone, but inexplicably threatening. Perhaps it was because that voice belonged to such a monster. "While he may disapprove of your appointment, I doubt he means anything against you. Jasper is more reactive than I, he often offends. I am sure if you should seek it, he would not hesitate to assist you." His eyes scanned over the others surrounding Circa at this point and he stepped back, put at least fifteen feet twixt himself and the group. It was a fairly short distance for himself, but he was not nearly as friendly as his brother.

VICIADO & BALTHIER II
[/b] died, Brynn. They need time. And as you seem to not understand that I may ask you to leave them in peace so that they can think on their own time -- or if you're going to be with them, do best not to fuck it up by mentioning him. It's the last thing they need right now."[/i] Stated the healer very firmly. She was clearly in her mothers and healers mindset and not about to back down when the health and care of cubs were at stake. Balthier II nodded enthusiastically with a grin. "I bet. Give it time though. Soon you'll be a twenty-four seven frowny face that everyone looooooathes." He teased, then turned his gaze on the beast Neo. It gave him the creeps. Yes, it. Balthier II wasn't even sure this thing was feline. Seemed it, but sure as hell wasn't.. natural. Then again what was natural about any of their colorations. "Ooooh draaaama. I wonder why big scar-face disapproves." He said, mostly to himself as he rolled onto his back.[/ul][/blockquote] [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,450,true][bg=570000]

Brynneth sighed. "I agree, thank you Vicadio: you have great advice with your experience. If you need me, I'll be inside." she nodded with a smile and went inside, a thoughtful expression on her face. If Vicadio needed her she would come back to her. She looked to her cubs with an apologetic look, what if her cubs hated her? She now thought to herself, looking at her paws, thinking deeply. Could she have stopped Tanya from killing Icarus? Brynneth sighed and lay her head on her paws. She should've stopped Tanya in the first place.. if it weren't for her cowardice... Icarus would've been alive! She slammed a paw in regret and walked off, head low, tears starting to form from her eyes. She didn't care if she was called weak, she didn't give a shit if she was offending the pride.. she didn't give a fuck about anyone's reactions. This was her fault, she could've stopped that bitch from murdering her. Why did Funeral and Raegan have to excecute Tanya instead of her? If it wasn't for her cowardice.. she wouldn't feel this pain, this torture.. this living hell. She wanted to be alone.. if anybody come forward, she didn't care who it was, she would tell them off. Now, her green gaze were turning into blazing green slits.
Caylis noticed Brynneth's torture and sighed, shaking her head. "The poor girl.. and the cubs. I worry for them." she said with a sympathetic look towards the cubs and turning her head away. "Oh, Dante.." she whispered as she went over to Kodiac and nodded to Alfwin. "Yes, he'll notice your strength and I bet you'll be a strong subordinate one day." she said with a smile.

Circa Da'ei & Kazbek & Edmund
Kazbek smirked at the answer that the little girl answered for her brothers, and for a moment he thought her... Kind of cute. A chance to impress a lady, how could he turn that down? The young male nodded to each of the siblings and purred, announcing with the tone of a very enthusiastic drill sergeant. "Cool! You guys know howta play tag? Or hide and seek?" He asked, making slight motions at each phrase to emphasize their meanings, to which Edmund mewed in enjoyment. "Yeah! I know how to play hide and seek! That sounds fun." He said, looking at both of his siblings for approval. Kazbek waited for an answer before looking up shockingly at the red male who had came to greet them and offered Alfwin some praise, then he chirped in delight as he realized quickly who it was, "Heya dad, wanna play too?" He chimed, giving the larger male a nudge to his front leg as he stood, though Edmund's happiness at the offer faltered at the sensitive word Kazbek said, and he looked to the side for a moment.
Meanwhile Circa nodded to her two friends now lazing near her, very much enjoying the company. Balthier, goofy as always, made her stifle a giggle, "I sure hope I don't end up that way, I'd rather not be loathed..." Right as she said it her voice trailed out at the sign of distraction, she followed Balthier's eyes to the looming figure coming towards her, and her pelt prickled slightly. Speak of the devil. For a moment she thought it to be Jasper, and readied herself for a strong lecture by the much older male who had earlier disapproved of her. She sought to face it bravely as she needed to, not daring to show fear, but it wasn't necessary after all- it was Neo, his similar twin. A slight relief filled her and she gave an accepting smile to the large male, though still on edge, she offered an understanding nod. "I understand his concerns, and it's a relief to hear that. He's a great warrior... and I'd hate to be on his bad side."
Turning her baby blues away for a moment, she gazed down at the cubs once more, and flicked her ears at Caylis's statement. "I worry for the cubs... Does it seem as if Brynneth is... Detached, from things?" She murmured to the black 'ess, only meaning for her to hear really, whilst mentally her heart reached out to Edmund who once again looked forlorn. "I find it awfully strange, for a mother."

Corona Sulliveri
Eyes gleamed to the idea of play. This was such a comforting change compared to all the sadness. A broad smile lit on her face as Edmund was clearly happy to participate. Yet Cora's heart sank somewhat as Kazbek addressed his father. Green's stared up at Kodiac in sadness, but also wonder.
One could say that Corona had a scheming mindset, something that liked to show through time and time again. Alfwin didn't take the loss of their father too badly and she supposed it was because Raegan was becoming a quick father figure. Maybe that was what Edmund needed as well! A sneaky grin snaked into place and Corona mewed excited to her brothers and to the big red male. "YEAH! That'd be fun right!? I bet this big guy could never find you Ed!" A shoulder nudged into each sibling in turn, though she knew Alfwin probably had little interest, she didn't want to leave him out.
