feelings are fatal [...] joining/trespassing

[Jiyu Simul Stamus]

The small creature was trying to stay calm, appear unfrightened and unaffected by her. Nothing the bird ever did? Would convince Jiyu he was not afraid of her, but she was used to other's fearing her, knew the signs of fear well enough to remember his swiftly beating heart and consider it over the mask now displayed on him. Of course, the most intimidating part of the calico may be the fact she looked so uninterested in spite of her actions that she might as well be dead. Fear masking on something like this creature? Was going to lead to its death, pretending not to be afraid took effort and interfered with said creatures ability to react swiftly, it was why she needed to keep her emotions all but nonexistent to do what she always did. Even actually being afraid for the lives of her friends instead of simply wanting to protect them? Would get in the way of her goal to keep them safe. From the behavior of this avian, he was no threat to the objective she held closest to her heart, this flying creature was no major threat, sure his candle could light something on fire but it seemed more a comfort than a weapon.

Tiny paw steps let her know that the offspring of her friend had caught up to her after tailing her for a while and her response was to creep a few steps back so she was closer to Sayonara than the parrot, better able to protect him. Making any sort of final judgment on this creature? Would have to wait, sure normally as a guard, she could do this, and she very well would have but considering the current structure, it would give other members ways to question the bird's validity as a member.  "On, both of you." she was not going to take all day getting back to the mansion to find the leader or one of her advisers, just because she had a child and small bird for company. The much more efficient way to get everyone back? Was to let them sit on her back or head for the trip, even if she had to go slow in order to not throw them, she would still move faster than having them on the ground. "We'll go to the mansion, find your mother or one of the other's, so no one can question this." with that she crouched down, laying on the ground so she was short enough they could climb onto her. Apart from any other reasoning, she had for letting them on her back? One of the biggest reasons may be that it would keep any of her fellow Roseblood from mistaking the three-eyed bird for mutated prey. It would do no good to bring him back for acceptance and introduction only to have him eaten by someone. Plus, it would be nice to give her friend's child a piggyback, it had been a while since she had done that for a kit.
