[glow=#000,1,400]get a load of this monster, he doesn't know how to communicate — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]

It was been two months since he had heard the news of his siblings survival. Two months since he had learned where they were. Two months since he was able to escape from captivity.
It had been two days since he had arrived in the Pitt.

Leo had arrived in poor condition, infected wounds littering his body and dehydration having already set in. He had immediately been taken in by his siblings and had his wounds treated before being forced to temporarily settle down in his sisters dwelling, despite his protests that he'd be fine outside. He had remained indoors for most of the two days, struggling slightly to get adjusted to the new environment.
The large Savannah cat would be sitting outside of the dwelling now, his cloak tucked tightly around him and hood covering his head. This clan was not terribly different from the one that he had grown up in. Slavery was still a thing, there were still assholes, it was still hot as hell.
Pretty much the same.

"[glow=white,1,400]I am Leopard, brother to Yes Man and Cosette.[/glow]" He would state, realizing that some were staring at him.
That was all.

I WISH YOU COULD SEE THE WICKED TRUTH
CAUGHT UP IN A RUSH, IT'S KILLING YOU

Ninazu tries to ignore rumors the best she can, but there are some cases where rumors offer the only available information. Yes Man's origin and his family... well, nothing was known except for rumors. Rumors that Dante was his half-brother, which might've explained the closeness between the two of them at the time of Yes Man's reign and respect for the lowly ranked Dante. Rumors that Cosette knew Yes Man before she came to the Pitt -- that the name she called him at her joining either represented an important bit of their past or simply refuted the rumor entirely. Either way, it could be said that the Pitt knew a lot about Yes Man's family, but most of it seemed unsubstantiated garbage.

But Ninazu hears Leopard and watched his cloak shift about his figure. Her ears twitch as she listens, interested, and she spends a half-second looking around to see if her apprentice is within eyesight -- though she looks back at Leopard quick enough. "Welcome to the Pitt, Leopard. I'm Ninazu, Cosette's mentor. We're both erudites -- healers, basically," she says, supposing she might as well introduce herself properly to the new member.

[align=center][div style="width: 51%; text-align: justify; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: -1px; font-family: georgia;"]It was stunning how quickly things happened. She had been hoping that he would show up, deciding it was only a matter of time, considering that Bishop was there, too. But as she began to realize things, she also realized that it was just wishful thinking. She had no way of knowing if he was even alive. She didn't want to hurt herself, so she stopped being naive and quit looking out for him, though she still had the habit of scanning the horizon every now and then. Maybe that was just a general paranoia thing.

But then suddenly he was there and she couldn't be happier, unsure how she had gotten lucky enough to have both of her brothers at her side again. She was afraid that they would end up leaving again, but instead of thinking about it, she would stride over and, making sure she was in Leo's line of sight, brush up against his side. She didn't want to startle him, aware of how he disliked being touched, especially if it was abrupt.

Since Ninazu was doing most of the explaining, Cosette simply stood beside him, head against what she could reach of his shoulder. Damn him and his height.
