[OOC: ]

Bai Shi? His eyebrows would raise in slight surprise. He had forgotten that some how the ability to shift their appearance at will. The various powers of this land never failed to amaze him.

"Lynn? Well I guess it is good to go away and escape our lives.", he said softly as he walked closer. He had never seen his friend be so distraught before. The feline liked to think of them as stoic and calm, guess they were better at hiding their feelings more than he thought.

He smiled softly, "Grief can derange even the most disciplined and greatest men. It's good to purge these emotions with tears so they don't ferment into rage or chaos.", he would sit next to the silver fox, looking down at him with
a rather softer expression than usual. Not pity but with recognition and understanding. Although he wouldn't allow his own to be freed. He hadn't done so in so long that the advice he gave others he never ever considered for himself. Maybe he thought he was stronger than others in some ways.

He would sigh and look at their surroundings, "It's healthy to get out the jungle every once in a while and remind myself that it isn't all bad out in the world." his gaze returned to his friends, realizing that he didn't really know about Lynn at all. It seemed that he never gave thought to the things the dragon- or fox experienced. He was immortal was he not? It must be hard, lifetimes of hardship all for one being.

"So why did you come to this spot?", it was unknown to him that it was a resting place, otherwise he would've shown more care where he placed his feet.

[OOC: oops! didn't mean to say "he" in my last post XD for some reason I see them more masculine in their fox form ]

Kydobi dipped his head, granting the fox permission. It had been ages since he really touched someone, ages since he was just there in anyone's arms and so he would tense a little. The last person he had any contact with was Ramona and that was a brief nuzzle for her comfort and even then he felt weird showing affection.

But he would listen while he walked over to Lynn and curling around them. It wasn't hard since they were small, and he liked to know that he would be some sort of protection for the fox. A emotional and physical comfort. He would keep his neck up, unsure how to relax but no doubt it would come with time.

It was a sorrowful thing in itself to have to bury a loved one. But to know they were one their way? Did that make it easier or harder? Did it get easier each time you dug a grave? Probably not, but Kydobi supposed that some would move on.

"It's alright Lynn. If that tiger proves troublesome I'll help you out. I wouldn't let him into the Pitt and the others didn't take too well to him because of my opinion of him. He knows he is far from welcome as long as I am there."

He flicked his ear and looked away trying to tell himself that it was fine. Nothing wrong with some affection every now and then. But the only woman he had loved was his mother and she proved unworthy. The only man he had loved was the man who raised him, Kaziko, and he had tried to kill him. The other was his brother by Kyrzoba disappeared before he realized it, abandoning him as well. The only love he knew was platonic and every person he opened his heart to hurt him. So at the young age of a yearling the jaguar had come to the conclusion that love was an illusion.

So when his friend asked of such things he wasn't sure what to say, "Uh. Never wrote a poem for anyone. No one has ever made me feel such a need. Sometimes I wonder if something is wrong with me, maybe this love everyone speaks of is real and I'm just broken. But then I wonder if it is everyone else trying to make something more out of lust. Other times I want to give it time. Somethings in this life can't be explained with sound facts, but I don't know. There is no one however."

He cleared his throat, slightly embarrassed by that.

"How about you?", he knew of the silver lion but would never ask of them. He had a feeling something terrible occurred to that being.

"Wait! I forgot to tell you. A dragon showed up at our borders a while ago. Beaten and roped. I think a Pitt member must've done it but I set them free... Nothing much happened after. I haven't seen much of them." Was this the brother?

[OOC: ]

Kydobi sighed as he rested his head on the ground, "A darker dragon. They didn't speak much but when Ramona mentioned your name they whispered it.. They weren't in a good shape at all, I never saw much of the after that."

He would look at the fox and smile softly, "If only I knew more. If only we all did." He flicked his ear and sighed once more, allowing his friend to rest on his shoulder while moving his head closer.

"Regarding the tiger, we cannot do anything more. Just keep an eye on him. Truth be told I'd rather have someone like him who is blatantly untrustworthy than someone harder to detect and much more malicious because of it. Like Jervis. At least we all are aware of him being... the way he is."

[OOC: ]

His eyes would close halfway in that resting state that was so common to felines. Occasionally he would nod his head, allowing a smirk to surface when his friend sneezed.

"At least, at least we are now aware of them." but something put him on edge. He had never outrightly considered overthrowing the fox. Never. He had always thought the fox would die at the hands of another, never by his doing. Nor had he ever thought of war.

"Well... I never had planned to overthrow Jervis. I was hoping to change him but that has proved hopeless...", he opened his eyes as butterflies crept in from slight anxiety, "I don't really want to fight. I just want peace Lynn. Somewhere to be by myself and within the vicinity of others. And I don't want to put Ramona in danger. That poor pup has seen so much."

He laughed in the way that people did when faced with stressful situations, "Haha.. She has enlightened me on what has happened to you and others in the past and that is terrible."

Eyes finally shifted to the fox, "If you have anything violent planned... Just give me a warning so I can take the children out of there."
