Michael felt a wave of relief wash over hin when Goldie responded not with harsh words and rage over the scene between her and Sam being interrupted, but instead with nothing but her usual, calm leaderly tone. What she said made sense, and he nodded his head a bit, trying to think back to the last time he had seen Idyllfields. He and the sage hadn't met formally in the past, but they had been pointed out to him during Roxie's process of showing him around, since she knew he might need further medical attention for his torture wounds. He hadn't seen them since that first tour, and he supposed it made sense that Goldie would rather that Sam receive immediate help. Rather than having to wait for him to rush around trying in vain to find where Idyll had disappeared off to. He nodded his head a bit, his short tail flicking wildly with nerves behind him as he turned to go and find the supplies mentioned... only for Roxanne to show up with everything just a moment later. The bobcat blinked in surprise at her for a moment before a soft laugh left him, twisting himself back around again to face Goldie and Sam, since he didn't really have anything to go off and get now. His worry relaxed further when Roxie sat down beside him, making him feel less like he was outnumbered by Goldie and Sam, having accidentally intruded upon the scene.

Pressing a little bit into Roxie's side in greeting, Michael hesitated for a long moment before he spoke, his voice silent and muted, since he didn't want to interrupt any further, "Uh... congrats you two. Good to see ya happy, Goldenluxury..." He didn't yet feel comfortable enough in the group to call Goldie by her nickname, mainly since, while he was already very close to Roxie, he wasn't particularly close to Goldenluxury, and was still becoming adjusted to his new surroundings when it came to The Typhoon. The dark furred male glanced down at his paws for a moment, shuffling them together before he pressed into Roxie again, this time in a sort of goodbye, rather than greeting, "Since you've got the bandages and everythin'... well, I'll be going now. Seems like a family thing... bye Rox." He offered the larger female a little crooked smile before he turned and went, padding back into the treeline and away from the rather loving scene. For one thing, he wasn't supposed to be here. Lile he had said, it seemed like more of a family affair. Secondly, the entire thing sort of just made him uncomfortable. Family, and love, and babies, and all of that... it wasn't really anywhere near the realm of Michael De Santa's jurisdiction, at least for now.

( out! )

A foreigner. Marina's nose sensed something different. Not only was their murky scent lurking around the area, but the salty scent of a familiar female was present. The unnerving thought of danger crossed her mind, causing her to change her task and rush over towards the situation.

Eventually, she came up to the path near the railroad. Before she reached the two, she stowed away within the tall grass. While her coat was not beneficial in a camouflage situation, she hoped the intruder would keep their attention elsewhere. When things grew tense, Marina would jump in. Whether that was to heroically save Goldenluxury or to intrude on an ally talk, she did not know. Something just didn't feel right. For now, she would remain in the background.

Indeed, her gut feeling was right. There was no danger present, but an overflow of emotions was about to pursue. As the stranger wandered forward, Goldenluxury practically fell to her knees. Her voice was soft, almost caring towards the stranger. She was concerned. The female Tanglewooder merely responded with an overview of what was going on, but Samantha's tone remained similar to Goldenluxury's own. A deep connection remained between the two. Marina did want to admit it, but she kept her hopes high. This couldn't be a lover, but perhaps a family member. Anything but that...

Marina pushed forward into the underbrush, watching closer. What came next threw her in for a loop. The word 'pregnant' rang throughout her head. Had Goldenluxury cheated on her with this girl? But it became apparent that it was not that. In fact, Marina was the one who assisted in the cheating. She was about to have children with a liar. The jaguar felt sick to her stomach, even more than the pregnant leader. 'Nothing but you,' Goldenluxury preaches. An affirmative nod follows her words. Marina's heart drops, causing her to lurch further back into the shadows. The feeling of betrayal travels within. Would her children throw her aside as a bastard mother and accept Goldenluxury or Samantha to be their true parents? or would they collectively agree to side with all?

What had their love become? Had that night in the underground aquarium been a joke to Goldenluxury? Marina's anger bubbled up in her chest. Not only that, but they had children. Real, live children coming. The jaguar couldn't even bare the thought of staring Goldenluxury in the eye. Collective fear and frustration pulsed through her mind. Tears began to stream down her face. Marina, knowing her cover would be exposed if she continued on, wandered off. There was nothing more to see here.
