The petite vixen trotted slowly at her father and uncle's sides.  Her unmatched hues seemed tinged with red; a sign she may have been crying at some point, though it was not sad crying per say.  She lost count of the days she'd spent in the cells of the Pitt, holding onto the hope that her father would come for her.  He did.

He certainly came in an unexpected way.  He and her uncle Kian arrived on the border with Aine Ní Broin.  A bargain among cousins, she soon realized.  The idea made her frown, especially when she recalled how much her father seemed upset with it.  Gael seemed furious too, when she thought back to it.  Neither of them, she realized, liked the idea of using their children against each other.

It made sense.  Her father's compassion knew no bounds.  Aine didn't deserve to get involved any drama between the Typhoon and the Pitt.

Though she disapproved the methods, she felt relieved to be away from the Pitt.  She'd grown terribly skinny in her time locked away with little water and less food, and the burn on her flank still hurt where Embry struck her with electricity.  I hadn't meant to attack their heads.  She'd acted on instinct, without conscious control of her abilities.

The memories of it all made her lips tremor.  She pressed closer to her father, deeply inhaling the scent of the ocean breeze.  Home.  One of two.  The familiar sight of tall jungle trees, and the sound of the waves began to relax her, as tension slowly began to fade from her wary body.

She was safe here.

[div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-family: constantia; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.4;"]The massive dire wolf kept one eye on the path ahead and one on his daughter beside him.  He needn't worry about her straying though, from the way she stuck to him.  With Kian at their side, they made their way away from the desert they reunited.  His sea-green eyes flickered dully with deep thoughts and concerns.

He hardly wanted to divide his family, even his extended, but he knew Gael well enough to be unsurprised about the fox's anger.  They used Aine against him, like a little pawn.  It made his fur crawl.  Worse, he left without a word to any other crewmates; him, Kian and Aine.  She'd found her way to them late, and they decided they ought to leave with haste.

The faerie doubted the captain would approve entirely, but what was done was done.  Perhaps it was reckless, more so than he liked to ever act, but he'd been sick of lingering among the comfortable shores while she'd been locked in a cell in hostile territory.

His ears flicked as he nudged Suvi gently across the border, feeling his own muscles relax at being within the bounds of the Typhoon.  When they reached the beach, he cleared his throat and raised his voice.  "We... We've brought Suvi back."

"We could use some food and water," he added, brows creased.  She'd gone from healthy child to skin and bones in the time gone and he couldn't let that be.  They were out of enemy lands but that didn't fix everything.

Truth be told, Starlight didn't actually know that much about the Pitt. He might've known about it at one point, but with his memories blissfully ripped away from him – or, alternatively, hidden away somewhere within his mind – he didn't know the true horrors of what the Pitt represented. He had heard stories, of course. Even though he had only been here the shortest while, he had heard the name of the group faintly whispered from group member to group member, as if speaking it too loudly would bring a curse down upon The Typhoon. And from the way that their actions were described, he didn't doubt that a curse from them would be something he wouldn't wish on his worst enemy – if he had one, that is.

Because of his disconnect from what was going on between the Typhoon and the Pitt, Starlight hadn't known that they were missing several members for a while. Of course, he hadn't met them beforehand, so he couldn't have any way of realizing they were gone, but he still felt an odd pang of guilt in his chest when he felt Raziel speak, talking about how they had brought someone named Suvi back. He could only assume that Suvi was the young girl, but he didn't stop to ask, just turning and rushing off towards the ship as fast as his star covered legs could carry him. If Raziel had a request, then the least Starlight could do was be helpful, after all.

He returned a few minutes later with a basket clamped in his mouth, with several pieces of prey in it and wet moss, since he wasn't sure how else to transport a large amount of water back with only himself. The extravagantly colored newcomer trotted his way over to the small group and put the basket down in front of Raziel before finally.speaking, blinking his nearly pure white and faintly glowing eyes up at the other male as he wondered curiously how much longer they had been there than him, "Here is some food, and water, sir. I believe I arrived here after this... Suvi, was taken by wherever you've returned her from. My name is Starlightbrigade." He gave a respectful dip of his head to the entire group, even to the small and young Suvi.
