▲ Lothaire Long
Lothaire was patrolling alongside the boarders of La Morte's territory and had taken a small pause to catch a break. He had no idea of what was coming his way, just around the corner actually when he sat down to rest by a tree. It was not a meutrian, but a company of friends and family. An unexpected visit.
Meanwhile; Mizuki Blaatt
"I think we're close. We should see the camp soon according to what Regina told me" said Mizuki while they followed the description that the red hellioness had given the Blaatt 'ess. Mizuki paused and looked back to see if everyone were okay. It had been a long journey.

A long journey indeed. It wasn't too great for the old Malefactor mix... His bones were old and his hind legs wearing out. Unfortunately it slowed their traveling down significantly.
Regularly he apologized to Mizuki about this, but tried his absolute best to make up for it. Telling stories of the old days to the children, even trying to teach them to sing a song at one point! He would also describe their father to them. Shakespeare was passionate around the kids, doing all he can to keep their spirits high even as he looked around for danger.
He limped to join the Hellion'ess when she stopped, looking around these lands he had never once wandered into. "I do hope you're right, deary." He said quietly, then looked back to the two youngsters, smiling. "Soon now." He said to them.

Yasbi
For once she was not at Cyber's or Yixbi's side. Instead she was out on her own, having left Cyber sleeping. However it had surprised her while wandering the turf - she heard voices. The border wasn't close to camp by any means, and so to hear them half way between the border and camp was surprising. Then her hackles rose. She moved to higher grounds, up further in the mountains, and then spotted them. Yasbi crawled lower - and as she did so, she caught sight of Lothaire making his way steadily towards them, out on a border patrol she supposed. She dropped down the rocks, being careful with her landing, and then jumped down in front of the travelers. "I'd stop there if I were you." She said. Her voice was calm, but held the undeniable threatening tone underneath it all. With war on their doorsteps they could never be careful.

RENO DONOVAN, SIAKON
[/i] Siakon said as she lifted her head to Reno. They walked together through Arelth. "Really. Your mother is very strong. Never doubt that." He said to her. Siakon looked serious as she nodded. It was clear they were having a heart-to-heart. That ended, however, as Reno caught the sound of voices. He beckoned Siakon to come close and crouch with him as they peered down at their visitors from afar. Arelth was very well protected, and not well known to many. Which made is so ideal to live in for La Morte. "Who're they..." Siakon asked quietly. Reno shook his head, brows furrowed. "I don't know. But stay down. We'll see soon enough.." He said.[/ul][/blockquote] |

[/style][/td] [td][atrb=width,500,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=valign,top][bg=3D0002] » PORCELAIN Porcelain's anxiousness was fueled with each step closer to La Morte territory. She shivered slightly and pressed close to Mizuki at all times possible. On the way there, however, the pale child had listened intently to everything they had to say. When she wasn't wrapped up in that, she was occupied with looking around. So many colors.. Greens, blues, reds.. She had never seen anything like it. The hills so tall, and the sky so open.. Everything around her seemed to have a smell, or attracted her attention in some way. She was a little overwhelmed by everything, but she tried her best to take it all in and make something of it. Even with the stories, she didn't understand a lot of what he was saying, but she listened carefully anyway.
In the most literal sense, she had been waiting her whole life for this. Now that it had come, it felt as if it was happening all so quickly. She was excited, but also afraid. Everything was so unfamiliar, and that frightened her. But with promise of meeting her father, Mizuki and now Shakespeare by her side, she convinced herself to calm down. At the appearance of Yasbi though, Porcelain scrambled backwards. Her head tilted at the sight of the older female. Who was this? She quickly looked to Mizuki, unsure of what was going on. Stop here? No, they were so close! She let out a whimper, now crouching low to the ground.

[/size][/font] Lena's paws hurt. It had been too much of a long journey. Travelling with the two adults was far too long, but now it seemed that they were close to wherever they were. She gave a small sigh as they all came to a stop, and her attention was put onto the strangers in front of them.
Unlike Porcelain, Lena merely gazed up at them with a stringent curiousity, only flanked by an air of caution she put on. Really, she was more curious than anything. But from the tone of them all, it was uneasy. She sighed and joined the other cub and stood tall, putting on an air of confidence. Only if things were to go south she'd be more appropiate.

▲ Lothaire Long
A party of voices reached Lothaire's audits. Could it be Meurtrians!? Lothaire got up and headed for the voices. He was not the only one who had taken a notice of strangers nearby. Yasbi was already in the front of the travelers.
"What's going on here? Are they /Meutrians/?" he questioned as he walked closer in a cautiously slow manner.
Mizuki Blaatt
The blue hellioness had assured him it was fine for every apologize he had given. Everyone aged, well almost everyone, and it was a perfectly natural thing.
A sudden interruption from a stranger turned her head "We're just looking for someone and mean no harm-.." she paused when Lothaire appeared. "You must be Lothaire right? The one we're seeking".

Ears fell. This wasn't unexpected, for they were intruding on a territory of a pride at war. The old Malefactor mix stepped back and over by the kids. He may be old, and unable to fight, but he'd still defend them to the best of his abilities if things went wrong. Not that they should, there's Lothaire! "Lothaire!" He called, glancing around to the white ones pride mates, then Mizu, and back to his friend who he nodded to before lowering his head to the childrens level, moreso Porcelain.
"It'll be alright, daddy's here." He assured warmly.

Yasbi curled her lips in disgust at the fear they showed, and even more so when they instantly sought a creature behind her. Lothaire? A snarl bubbled up from her throat and she nearly crouched down in preparation to attack, her muscles bunched under her pelt but she stepped to the side to let Loth pass. They sought him out personally, but honestly what pissed her off that they were being found so easily. It was aggravating, it was sickening, that they'd be found easiky in such a time. A time of war. she wondered who this 'Regina' was that had told them where to go and who among the pride told them, who leaked their location at this time. How could these creatures be trusted at all? Where had they come from? So Yasbi asked. "How did you find us." More like demanded an answer. But her amber gaze flicked to Lothaire waiting for him to say something on his knowledge of these creatures. Then she tensed further. What if that had brought others? Her gaze jolted past them. They needed Reno or Najisi. Or both.

Victor was often on the borders and beyond, seeking new herbs for his practice. He had the time, as the pride was healthy. He wanted to ensure Najisi had strong cubs, thus he looked for herbs to assist in her future deliverance. As he went further in his exploration, a white spot appeared. He moved forward, seeing that it was Lothaire, a soft sigh escaped him. The male was much too suspicious of him and it made him uncomfortable. Upon seeing the others he seemed less comfortable. However, he saw cub and heard less than pleasant tones. What was going on? He grabbed a few stalks of catnip and approached the group, calm as ever.
Unlike the others, he was first intrigued by the cubs. He wanted to make sure the young ones were healthy and safe. He passed his pride mates and approached the intruders. He was quite hospitable despite his intimidating appearance. "There are cubs here," he stated. They could investigate the adults all they liked, but he did not want even a tail lifted toward the children. It was obvious by the looks the rough healer fave the others. His gaze and features were soft for the youths, however.

RENO & SIAKON
[/i] He said, giving her a nod and then moving to Lothaire. Reno was unaware of anything said before Victor had spoken, so only a small nod was given before he turned to address those there. "You don't look like anyone of Meurtrier, but these days, my home can never be too sure. Please tell us from where you come. Meanwhile," He turned to Victor and Yasbi. Victor was most likely out to collect herbs, and Yasbi was just on border patrol. "Yasbi, Victor, if you could ensure we are safe, I would appreciate it greatly." He said.[/ul][/blockquote] |

Where was he? Who were all these others? Their build, scent, and coloration was unfamiliar to her. She didn't understand why they were being stopped and confronted. Porcelain returned to her position beside Lena and found comfort in her familiar presence. Eyes wide, she looked up to Shakespeare. "Meurtr-r..? I don't understand.." At the mention of the familiar name, her ears twitched. "Where?" She then sought him out among the strangers, her eyes focusing on a tall white figure. "Is he here now? T-That's him, isn't it?" A gray feather fell to the ground as her wings trembled. Her pulse quickened in the moments she laid eyes upon her father for the first time. Shakespeare had been right.. he was just as she had imagined!

▲ Lothaire Long and Mizuki Blaatt
"Yes, I am Lothaire Long.." he assured them while he walked past Yasbi and stopped in front of them. "Shakespeare? What are you doing here? Who are they?" Lothaire asked and gazed at each and one of the travelling party. "Are they your cubs?".
Mizuki's nodded to Reno and returned her gaze to Lothaire to answer the questions they all were wondering about;
"We're not Meutrians. Me, Lena and Porcelain are all from Hellet and Shakespeare kindly offered to follow us on our journey to La Morte. Regina gave me the instructions on how to find Arelth." she said.
"But I sent Regina to find Spectre." he said and searched for her with his ocean blues. "I can't see her. Where is she? Regina was supposed to find her. Why are you here instead of her?"
"I'm afraid she's not with us. She is still back in Hellet and Regina will try to get the message delivered to her."
"so.. Why are you here?"
"I have been waiting for a chance to find you.. The reason why we're here are these two-" she said and flicked her tail to Lena and Porcelain. "They are not Shakespeare's cubs nor mine. These two are your and Spectre's cubs. Porcelain- and Lena Aurobori-Long."
"My what?.." Lothaire had been completely oblivious of their exsistence till now. Wide open ocean blues flicked repetitively between Lena and Porcelain.

Shakespeare decided to leave most the talking to Mizu; she was a fine female and he was hoping that she could handle the situation. That didn't mean he wouldn't intervene, however. But there was little he could do but talk and stand over the cubs. Victor's approach momentarily unnerved the old male, based on the frightful appearance, but as the Crimson spoke, the Malefactor mix became reassured that the other was not a threat, and therefore relaxed some. "Thank you laddy." He said, then looked over to the aggressive Yasbi and the newly arrived Reno...
Shakespeare was wary; the way this large male held himself - must be the dominant male, or at least someone of high authority. And by the appearance... Possibly someone of the Donovan bloodline. But the Malefactor mix was not completely certain of this, and pushed aside the thought. They were not an enemy. "My name is Shakespeare, I am a friend of Lothaire." He stated, looking down at the children and was about to say more but the white male pushed past and finally came to address them directly. Shakespeare smiled, it was slightly sheepish.
"No, laddy..." He said, about to say more however Rizu beat him to it. The old male said nothing, and listened. Lowering his head to the cubs once again at one point, wanting to make sure they're okay. "Shhh, yes, it's him." A reassurance, though he couldn't blame the cub for being so excited. He wanted little more than to let them go up to their father, but he also wanted to insure they'd be safe doing so. Old blue eyes looked up again as Lothaire learnt the truth, and he smiled. It was a tired but happy expression. "They're yours, friend." He somewhat repeated Rizu's words, but not exactly. He glanced down to them again, and the smile became a grin. "And I do believe they'd very much like to meet their father."

Yasbi
The female scowled at Victor. She could see the cubs, and she opened her mouth to give a snarky remark when Lothaire pushed his way forward. And then Reno landed beside in front of them and paused beside her, giving her a nod. She straightened and sighed softly, giving a responding nod. Yasbi listened to his words - he really was far more civil then her temperamental self, and then came the order to check the borders. Yasbi ignored the rest of what was going on as she walked up to Victor's side, and brushed her tail against his flank. "Come on, and if you need help, just say the word." She murmured to him, giving a last glare at Mizu and Shakespeare as she walked by. Her ears flicked through when she heard Lothaire's exclamation at Mizu's words, what had she missed? Shakespeare filled that in as he responded to her mental thoughts, 'they're yours'. Ah. Well she'd congratulate him later on being a dad. Right now she had borders to re-check because of this.
