VIPER - open; sunhaven visiting

[rhosmari]

A change of pace was necessary sometimes. To go out of someone's comfort zone and actually try to explore the world. The woman remembered coming to the Rosebloods before and selling them a variety of fish when trade was plentiful. Even now she remembered talking to an interesting manticore and thinking they were the most interesting thing she had even seen but then that was before the unfortunate timing of her death. A light breath escaped the rather large creature, eyes of toxic green shifting over the land as vertical pupils seemed to contract just slightly. They'd moved in recent days that much she knew and she was only here to visit and see how they were doing and to see if they wished to continue their trade route. After all they had sent over one of their own to her home to talk to her about things. Still, she was on her guard because she didn't know if things were settled or not. Clearing her throat a little the woman would allow her form to pause upon the border, forked tongue flicking out for just a moment as she rested her butt upon the ground. They would surely notice her presence as she was sure that she wasn't meant to intrude upon their new space. So with a reserved sigh the woman would start her patient wait, eyes scanning the area with a light breath escaping her. Luckily she had also brought some fits with her, a few wrapped fish, a great white shark's skull, and some small swords. Maybe they would have use of them.

Clementine had no idea how she managed to convince Mariana to let her go. Well, for one thing she had done quite a lot of begging, but the fact the woman had even relented was a surprise to the young little girl. Having followed along at her leader's side, the sickly serval had done her very best to keep pace with her, despite being over half her size. What was more, Clementine had no idea what the Rosebloods or any of their allies really were- this was her first, real adventure! Aside from moving, of course, but in Clementine's mind, that didn't count. She was really exploring!

Joining at Marina's side as they stopped at the border, the serval's green-eyed gaze swept up towards the woman and her actions before she swiftly tried to mimic it, sitting her rump down on the ground and trying to straighten herself up to look proper. Her ears twitched softly as she tried to listen out, the bright green bow clipped in front of her right ear quivering with it. Clementine's breaths wheezed slightly despite her best attempts to be quiet, taut in anticipation of the greetings of these strange new people.

SEPHIROTH

MALE — ROSEBLOODS — GUARD — HOVER FOR TAGS

”Do you two have business with the Rosebloods?”  He rumbled, his tail flicking once, twice before he moved his gaze to the goods they had brought.  Presents and supplies were always nice to receive, especially in the sorry state the group was currently in.

At one time she would have happened upon this while patrolling the territory for any potential threats. However, this time she happened upon the scene of two strangers and a guard simply because she was wandering without any aim. If she had emotions that had not been absolutely trashed beyond use years ago, the calico would be envious of the large male, he had what she always wanted, was now what she'd always been. Who was she now that she was no longer a guard? Never once had her siblings considered her capable of anything besides her purpose during their reigns, now someone had and she didn't quiet think Prestige knew what he was doing taking her job away. Promotions were normally a good thing, but she had no clue what she was supposed to be doing.

He spoke to them, and she supposed that if she had arrived first that she'd have done the same. Yet, the calico was no idiot, he piped up his voice to the strangers better than she ever could, kinder. The stoic Monarch padded forward, standing a few steps behind the Guard, sticking out almost clearly as him in the forest due to her snowy white pelt.

The female looked down at the lion, jaws parting for a moment before they shut. Ah, she hadn't rehearsed this and that made her feel a bit guilty in a way. They hadn't talked to the Rosebloods in a long time and that was considering their unknown stance with Sunhaven. It was tricky that was for sure but she supposed she might as well extend that paw forward as she always intended herself to do. But lessons had been learned and she wasn't about to forget the peaceful route she had try to go when it turned into shit. But a smile graced pale lips as she lifted up a thick paw gaze slightly narrowed. "Oi, well we came from Sunhaven tae check up on ya guys. See how everything was a floatin'. This here is Clementine, a real bright lass and she wanted tae see ya for herself." Flicking one of her tails the mutated direwolf would glance over to the much smaller serval, still having a positive air about what was going on here. But they had a lot more to discuss and the woman figured it would be okay to push the envelop just a bit more as she straightened up her shoulders. "These are gifts from around my shop. Ya are welcomed tae them if ya want them. Is ya leader around by chance?"

[Jiyu Simul Stamus]

Of course, this couldn't just be some quick informal visit that would end before it had even begun, nothing ever went that easily. Sunhaven was a relative unknown, and the last leader they had known was Prestige at best if not Sola, either way there was no way to know how the other group would respond to the newest change. Jiyu had not even been able to predict her own reaction, but she had not been able to read herself since the first meeting of this budding place and this circumstance had only worsened as time dragged on. "Stay here with Sephiroth while I go find her." not that she really wanted much to do with someone only pretending to be leader and care about the group she spent years protecting. Someone with the callous and careless nature of Nona would eventually cause disaster. All Jiyu could do until than? Was proceed as normal, because she could do nothing towards one of her own until they proved to be threat towards everyone else. Having a dragon that had eaten Prestige beforehand? Was not enough to force her claws into use, much as she wished it was.

The calico vanished into the forest, eventually finding the other animal, likely anywhere besides the ruins which required her walking a path nearly enclosed by water. "Nanohana, sunhaven is at the border, they want you." tiny points glinted in the low light of the forest, the budding appearance of her slowly reappearing fangs which had been lost in the fire. Once she had the false Pharaoh? Jiyu would lead the other feline back to the border where the sunhaven members waited with the guard.

[hana.]

[align=center][div style="borderwidth=0px; width: 55%; text-align: justify;"]넌 불 보듯이 뻔해 ♡ - Careless was certainly an accurate description of Nanohana, though the girl had certainly bitten off almost more than she could chew conquering the Rosebloods. She hadn't expected successfully doing it, frankly - to be met with such little resistance. It seems they wanted change, or at the very least, something to entertain them for a bit. And Gods, could Hana put on a show if they wanted one. They needed a strong Pharaoh to guide them, and Hana had bees in place of brains half the time. When the girl wasn't locked away staring at a dimly lit screen to an incredibly aged gameboy, she was perusing the territory and procrastinating her newfound responsibilities. Of course, everything got done in due time, but what had once been a novel idea of "come, see, conquer" quickly turned into a real workload and lives relying on her being able to do what she had thrust upon herself. Truth be told, Nanohana never wanted to be in command. But deals were deals, and Nanohana would put on whatever facade necessary to uphold a contract involving her own soul. And she would believe her own act, of being a prophetic sending to the Rosebloods to deliver them from... well, she hadn't thought that far ahead. But some sort of Goddess of the flesh. A Pharaoh, how appropriate.

Her own musings as she slowly meandered alongside the oasis were interrupted by the approach of Jiyu. The sound of her name on a stranger's tongue was so unusual to her. Gleaming eyes flicked up to fix unblinkingly on the calico, considering the older female's words. Sunhaven? Another group, that much she knew - merchants, if rumors were to be believed. "Cool," the chocolate feline commented smoothly, ears angling forward as she turned her body toward Jiyu. "Let's go see them, then."

Delicate paws followed behind stronger ones, copper gaze lazily winding between the other three that had gathered at the sandy borders of the Roseblood's deserts. Sephiroth and Jiyu were dependable faces she could rely on seeing wherever she found herself at, it seemed. Which was good. Next her gaze flicked to the unfamiliar faces of the Sunhaven members, lips curling into a coy smile as a sort of silent greeting. They came bearing gifts, it seemed - from their shop. Ah, yes, a group of merchants indeed. The unusually large canine introduced her sickly companion (who brought a small, frail child with them to unknown lands? Nanohana was careless, but not so much so to endanger a child of her own allegiance) without introducing herself. "The Rosebloods are under new a new Pharaoh now." The feline explained simply in a sickly sweet tone, head tilting to the side as she observed Marina. "That would be me. Name's Nanohana, 만나서 반갑습니다." To her knowledge, Sunhaven was not an ally. The only allies she knew of were Tanglewood and the Typhoon - why did this strange girl want to know of their wellbeing? Nanohana was skeptical of her intentions, but gave nothing away through her silky smile. "Aside from your... wares, why are you here?" Not the most polite way of asking, but certainly straightforward.
