Cameel
She watched their reactions, Zalui's was concerning, but Shade's made her brighten a lot. Although, she definitely understood the reaction that Zalui radiated. A laugh escaped her maw and she trotted forward, her gaze softening considerably as she went to Shade and nuzzled him, and then carefully nuzzled Zalui, licking his cheek before sitting down beside the two of them. She frowned slightly when she looked Zalui over and shook her head, mane fluttering with the motion - and she ignored the gigantic beast at the other end of it all.
"Dearest Shade, Zalui, I've missed you both so much, and please, rest assured, I am alone." Her voice was soft, warm as she looked back and forth between the two. She huffed her mane out of her face, and then tilted her head to look at Zalui. "You need taking care of." She raised a paw to ruffle his mane it had been so long and she really did miss her favorite nephew. "I followed Tilren here from a far, told everyone else back at the coven I was going with him. He should be expecting to hear it when he gets back I suppose." She hmm'd softly then shrugged. "I couldn't stand feeling trapped." She smiled again at them both.
"I hear you two are making a living here though?" Her voice turned slightly teasing as she slid a sly glance over to Shade. [/blockquote] |

Zalui Xemvoi
As the sister Xemvoi made her way closer, Zalui snuck a glance toward Neo and his... Whale. Zal had never heard of such a creature. His curiosity peeked but faded as Cameel spoke. "I am more than capable of taking care of myself." He stated matter-of-factly, voice a little on the dry side. But a deeply rumbled purr briefly surfaced at her touch.
So she set out on an escape. It didn't really surprise him. She had always talked about leaving but just never seemed to find the right opportunity. As he aged Zalui came to the realization that Cameel most likely had plenty of chances to wonder away from her bonds, had it not been for him. It felt awful to think that he could have been the reasoning for her long lived entrapment. But now she was free and he offered one of his rare genuine smiles.
"Never the less, once Tilren returns the others will be at your heels within days no doubt." His mind buzzed with thought before he continued. "But until then I'm sure this pride wont have any trouble with you visiting. Especially since you are the Captain's own great-aunt."

Shade
Relief flowed through him as his sister nuzzled him, and he purred as he rasped his tongue over her head. "It's so good to see you." He muttered. She was alone, she was free as well, he could be joyous now. To his surprise, even Zalui seemed happy to see his aunt; then again, who wouldn't be? Her brightness lit up the tensions from earlier, in a pleasant yet unpredictable family meeting. His white eyes returned her sly look, and a smirk crawled onto his face. "Somewhat of a living, I'm only here on a visit."
His mind trailed off for a moment as Zalui spoke of coming troubles, and as much as he tried to push it from his mind, he was more than right. If Cameel was missing, they would come to find her. He knew that he only had a short time to move his family as Rose wanted, but for the time being... He wanted to enjoy his family reuniting, and the mention of Zalui's daughter made his smirk rise again. "Ah yes, the Captain. I haven't got the chance to meet her personally yet. I wonder if she'd be excited to meet some of her family members."

Cameel
A purr rumbled deep within her throat in response to Zalui's smile, and then slowed until she sighed. She chose to ignore his 'I can take care of myself' comment, she would always baby her nephew on some level there was no denying that. So she responded to his worries of trouble. "I know, Zalui, I know. I'm not entirely sure how much longer i can stray away honestly, but I'm gonna try my best. After all, it's not every day I get the chance to get off like this." She responded, pressing against him once more softly, "And even then, I won't go back easily, I think." Then she flicked her gaze to Shade, snorting at his response, "The Captain? Your daughter has made Captain? How wonderful!" She smiled once more, eyes glinting with pride. "I'm sure she pulls her weight and makes a fine Captain." [/font] |

Zalui Xemvoi
He wondered how Circa would react to knowing she had more family ties other than himself, an absent mother, and siblings they both assumed were dead. Would she be angry with him that he had known Shade was here but had said nothing? He only hoped she'd understand that he was simply trying to protect her.
As Zalui drew back out of his musings, his chest swelled with pride. His daughter, the captain indeed. "Most of what she knows I have taught her. Though her life goal had been to follow my paw-steps and become a spy. Her natural ability to think tactical rather than out right brutal caught the attention of the Dominant and his Second." He didn't bother to mention that he had had other children. Zalui was still as stone hearted as ever. No matter how happy he was with his Xemvoi family. The others were weak, Circa was the one to be proud of. Even the son he presumed was still alive with Creeo hardly ever crossed his mind.
"Perhaps, it is time you met her then. We need to head back anyway and seek out the Higher-Ups. Let them know that Cameel is here and is of no threat."

Shade
Shade smirked as his nephew boasted about his daughter. The black male himself had seen her from time to time, and knew that Zalui had very much the right to boast as he did. Such a feat accomplished by such a young female was a hard thing to come by, achieving it must have been an unexpected, but satisfying turn. His mind flickered to the children he would soon have in probably no less than a couple of days... Would they reach such heights? He would sure hope so, but the self conflict in his head confronted him as well, could he really stay with them while keeping them safe at the same time? There was no way he was leaving them in their cub hood, but as they grew... They would have to be warned of the possible dangers.
Dismissing the thought, he nodded delightfully as Zalui admitted them to meet his daughter. "Indeed." He said simply, nudging his sister on the shoulder. "I don't think they'll have any qualms with letting you stay, least for a few days."

Cameel
Another purr rumbled deep within her throat, she flicked her tail to curl briefly around Zalui's neck as she pressed back against Shade's side lovingly. "I would love to meet her, and of course stay for a few days. Although, I am not quite sure how if I should stay long. My staying her at all could easily lead the Coven straight to both of you ,and I won't put my family in any danger on my behalf." She told them both, her gaze slide back over to Zalui, "Although... It seems the Coven will know where to find you, unfortunately." She sighed and shook her head. "Regardless, there's much to do in a short time. Let's get moving, shall we?" She smiled at both of them. |

Zalui Xemvoi
He stood painfully, but made not external signs of his discomfort. The horned beast gave one last sidelong glance toward the massive Crimson before keeping pace with his aunt and uncle. "I'm not too worried about myself rather than I am for Circa." There's the off chance that the others won't care about the Captain. After all she had never really gone by the Xemvoi name. As long as she's not in their hair, they might not care. It was just Tilren. It had always been just Tilren. Zalui shooed all those negative thoughts away. This was a family reunion; things should be more joyful.
As they approached camp, Zalui tilted his head back some, letting out a series of deep cuffs. A call that entailed new comers, but no danger.
