Honestly, Atbash was hesitant in coming here. It has been a while since Vigenere first visited her in Snowbound, but... that had been before The Pitt took over. Actually, did Tanglewood know that happened? Atbash bit her lip as she made her way towards Tanglewood's unfamiliar swampy territory, her one-eyed gaze carefully watching the ground as she moved. Occasionally, the Hailcaller looked up to make sure she didn't run into any stray vines or accidentally bump into somebody. Luckily she didn't have to travel very far to tell where the border was clearly marked, and the savannah paused in her steps and sat down.

This was going to be one hell of a visit, she could tell. With the scars she bore from Stryker, as well as the new ones given to her by Caesar, Vigenere definitely wasn't going to take things well. Vigenere wasn't one to lash out in anger like their younger brother, but that still didn't mean he wasn't going to get pissed off. Atbash worried about his reaction and shuffled about nervously as she waited for somebody to come greet her.

//LINK so I don't forget!

"Life was a fucking dick." Was definitely one way of putting it. Though if Leroy mentioned this thought out loud, Atbash probably would disagree. She felt partially at fault for the scars she bore, believing that she almost deserved them. After all, she was, despite how she looked, weak. Stryker and The Pitt took advantage of this, taking over Snowbound for a week before she gained courage to fight back. Caesar, on the other hand, hunted her down and purposely attacked her despite knowing the relationship between Snowbound and The Typhoon. Caesar had been punished, or so Jacob says, but Atbash couldn't trust the sea-dwelling group. Not while Caesar was there.

As Leroy revealed himself, the Hailcaller's attention snapped to him and she fought back the urge to ask about Vigenere. If her older brother wanted to show up he would. But then again... perhaps it was a good thing he wasn't here. There was also a possibility of one of his clanmates to mention seeing a one-eyed she-cat that looks like him, she supposed, and that likely wouldn't end very well. Either way, Atbash still was worried about his reaction. Atbash's ears flicked at being called 'doll', clearly not liking the nickname Leroy gave her. "I'm here to invite Tanglewood to Snowbound's Mass Gathering." She stated simply. "Morgan and Vigenere know what it is, but I should just remind you guys that this is a peaceful gathering where all of Snowbound's allies and neutrals are invited." She went on. It didn't hurt to reiterate things, right? "So everyone minus The Pitt will likely be there."

Atbash recognized the next Tangler that approached. He was the one who came to visit when Vigenere came and honestly, the Hailcaller thought the two were pretty close to each other. Vigenere wasn't the type of person to really travel with anybody so the fact that he traveled with Morgan was definitely some sort of sign. It wasn't a surprise to her when Morgan stated that Vigenere was his boyfriend, though she barely had time to respond to the General before her brother made his way over. Despite what it may seem, Atbash had never really seen Vigenere this mad before and the way he stepped towards her made her flinch a bit.

Atbash could understand why he felt so angry and distraught over what happened to her, but honestly she felt quite the opposite. She believed that she almost deserved what happened with Caesar and The Pitt, mostly because of her own weakness. After all, that was exactly the reason The Pitt preyed on her. Stryker knew she wouldn't fight back and took it upon himself to easily beat her and use her as a crutch to keep the Snowbounders in line.

"Vigenere. Vigenere, no." Atbash found herself able to speak despite the small prickle of fear she felt towards her older brother. The way he dug his claws into the ground was terrifying and she worried about the poor creature that may find themselves under his paws. The snarl he held on his face definitely didn't help matters either, and that scar on his muzzle didn't help the appearance of it. "Don't hunt anybody down. Don't hurt anybody." The Hailcaller went on, her words calm. On the inside, however, her heart pounded as this scene unfolded before her and she was honestly surprised at how calm she was seeming on the outside. Atbash's gaze briefly flickered to Morgan as he whined, trying to comfort her brother with his words.

"Please listen to me." Atbash went on, grateful that Morgan wasn't on Vigenere's side with this. "Don't go off hurting somebody because of this. They've been hurt enough." The Pitt suffered injuries from the rebellion, though they were likely healed by now. Still, she didn't want Vigenere going after them. It was Snowbound's fight - her fight, not his. "The Pitt did this to me, mostly." She explained with a sigh, allowing a frown to form on her face as she spoke. "Stryker specifically. He's a white lion with a bunch of mutations, mostly snake-related ones." There was no point in hiding details; if Vigenere wanted them so badly, he could easily just search her mind. "They took over Snowbound briefly but I and the rest of my tribe fought back. There's no reason to hunt them down and hurt them. They've suffered enough." She paused, as if giving Vigenere time to comprehend her words. "It'll come to no surprise that this brand is from Caesar, but please don't go hurting him either." Although Atbash no longer considered Caesar their brother, she still cared about him somewhat. Or rather, she didn't want him harmed by Vigenere specifically. He didn't deserve to be beaten up by his older, more experienced brother. "Everything is fine now. I'm fine. I've recovered."
