[OOC: ]

Luck was most surely on the dragon side. Recently Kydobi had been keeping close to the borders in the hopes of greeting any newcomers as opposed to scaring them away with one of the more hostile members. Today it seemed his plan had paid off.

A familiar and vibrant figure would be seen by the feline in the branches. Quickly he climbed down lest Jervis show up. No doubt the vulpine would show up, eventually. But Kydobi intended to beat him to it.

It would be nothing but nice to see them if he came across [member=2039]bai shi.[/member]  outside of the Pitt jungle. While he was happy to see the kind figure, anxiety and worry shadowed close behind. How would Jervis react to a high ranking foreigner showing up near the borders? Would he chase him out? How would Kydobi react? Or would Jervis utilize this chance to strengthen a bond with their neighbor.

Because really, not everyone was the enemy.

"Hello Lynn! I hope you understand that I cannot invite you in, partly because I do not have rank yet to keep the others... well behaved. And because I don't think Jervis would like that very much."

But he was pleasantly surprised and allowed a smile to shine through as he walked closer, "So what brings you here my friend?"

[OOC: ]

Yes very unfortunate. More than once had he seen the privileged behavior of the Ardent. He had an ear turned to listen behind him and turned to see no one.

"I believe it may take more time that I initially thought. But such a sorrow indeed. I think it may be hopeless. If you understand my words, being vague is very necessary right now," he smiled hoping that Lynn knew what he meant. For he never knew who was lurking in the shadows.

"So my friend, have you visited any other groups? I recently went to the Typhoon.... Funny how our 'allies' were most hostile. Especially the winged tigress... I don't have a good feeling about them. But the Ardent knows it all.. He supposes."

[OOC: ]

The offer was caught onto, he was still welcome.

"That I understand. But when the garden is overran with weeds and vermin you don't walk way and forget about it. It may be much work but you can't let the aggressive and ambitious green steal from the garden plants. The jungle is taken by a rather vicious weed. Small it may be but it takes root when you least expect it and works in subtle ways. That's what makes it dangerous. I have yet to understand just how such a small plant gained control. And I don't want to rip it out from the roots, if you know what I mean."

He cleared his throat and flicked his tail.

"I'm sure you know where the dead will rise from. As well as just who is disturbing their graves. This side of the lands I believe and its ally", he sighed.

"All I wanted was a peaceful jungle. Somewhere to call home. But it seems no matter where I land, it is riddled with chaos."

[OOC: ]

Ears would perk at the mention of a possible prisoner, "I'll keep an eye out."

He briefly turned to see behind him. A wonder no one had shown up yet. Usually he was late to the party regarding these sorts of things.

"I just hope this weed doesn't infect my flowers.", he was referring to himself. For truth be told, Kydobi wasn't really sure if he would leave the jungle again. It was the only thing he knew, the only thing that felt like a home.

"I also hope I don't have to rip it out from its roots. Although history has shown that plants of their kind tend to wilt to their own demise due to their own hubris and behavior. This weed is reckless and gives little thought to who it steals soil from."

Kydobi flicked his ear, "I don't wish to push luck anymore friend. The eyes and ears of the trees may catch on. I'm uncertain if they're like their ambitious leader."

[OOC: ]

This was the part he despised the most. Out of all the folks in the land, he had come to enjoy Bai Shi's company most.
He sighed as the dragon readied themselves to take flight.

"I most certainly will. Perhaps I'll smell more of Roseblood than Pitt in time." and with a powerful whoosh his friend was gone. Kydobi squinted as he watched the dragon curl and unfurl into the skies, the sun glistening off their armor in a rather gorgeous but blinding way.

Sighing once more, Kydobi turned back to the jungle. There he would give thought to the dragon's word. Plan his next action. Things with Jervis were not on the best of terms. Not as good as they could be. It would take more than a few compliments to convince the creature otherwise.

Easily did the jaguar melt into the dense shadow and with a flick of his tail he was gone.
