☼ - Like the others, it was La'Miylas loud call for Beck that caught the kitsune's attention. It didn't sound particularly good, but in Tanglewood, nothing sounded particularly good and someone getting angry at Beck almost to be expected. His trickster personality with his lack of experience as a Leader chapped a couple, and it seemed this was such coming to a head. Delicate navy paws carried Delphinium over, slender ears strained forward to catch the heated conversation being exchanged. It was about Malphas, that much was incredibly easy to pick up on. Delphinium had not been there herself for the drama regarding the Rosebloods, thankfully, but word of it traveled very fast and none of it sounded like a good situation. Why were these strangers trying to defend a group that invaded their territory and declared them enemies? Olive green eyes flicked between the bickering individuals slowly, listening to them speak with a growing anxiety swelling in her chest.
Delphinium did not exactly like Malphas: he was sharp-tongued, obnoxious, and rather egotistical. But Iota trusted him. They worked alongside each other, or rather they used to, and Delphi could at the very least make an effort to get to know him better. She agreed partially with what was being said - Malphas should have never become a full Medic, not so soon after trying to commit suicide, and in that choice Delphinium believed Beck was wrong. But she did not so openly oppose her superior. Oh yes, Beck got on her nerves. His little comments and habits grated on her in a way few had before. But he was the reason she had shelter now, he was the reason she had Iota back by her side, he had given her a new purpose in her life beside the one crafted for her. For those reasons she would stand by both of the accused males, slowly coming to a stop alongside Malphas as her head tilted in his direction briefly. He was being so... calm about this. Beck was fairing worse than him. Was it Delphinium's place to speak up? Not in the least. But no one else was doing anything to defend their roguemates. This very well might be the death of her, Delphi realized dully, staring up at the enraged La'Miyla and Talia.
"... What happens to Malphas is up to Beck, not us." She spoke slowly, almost immediately regretting getting involved in the conversation. Asking for a group vote so they could forcefully demote Malphas based on their own biased friends was incredibly wrong, but saying that aloud was asking for a slap to the face. "The Rosebloods had no intention of being allies if their Leader was that eager to call us enemies." Gods, Gods, Gods why did she have to get ahead of herself and speak out? Delphinium's gaze nervously trailed off of the two beasts to instead wander to her side across Beck and Malphas once more. "He was healing us fine before you got here," he had fixed Stocking's injured leg, had he not? "And calling for his head so... barbarically," what other way was there to describe it? "You couldn't go to Beck privately and talk to him? Why would you make a scene about something that seems to matter to you so much?" Why Malphas being a Medic would matter to them at all outside the matter of spite was unknown to Delphinium, but she had already pushed her boundaries as far as she could go. The kitsune went quiet, returning her gaze to the trio. She was not confident, no, but she was not about to turn heel and run from the situation either.
