[Kian.]

KIAN Ó FAOLÁIN

So bring on all the monsters, That lie sleeping in the blue
I'll fight 'em all bare handed, Screaming I ain't scared of you

Father was a term well-applied to the rusty spotted cat.  Since the day Keona was born.  Even before then, Kian had always been a fatherly man.  Constantly fretful of those under his care.  Watchful.  Guiding.  He'd had a crew to look after, and before that, a squadron.  Uncle was not.  It was of course, literally applicaple just as father was, but he had not been long associated with it, nor dwelled on it often.  Raziel had always been a faraway figure, and his children even moreso.

Imagine his surprise when one of them showed their face on Typhoon sand.  It had to be one of his Raziel's daughters.  One of the triplets no less, given her young age.  He flicked his tail, surprise raising his brow as he approached, watching his elder brother shift into the shape of a massive wolf.  A fit to their family name.  The girl too, was a wolf.  Perhaps she was not familiar with her father in his birth form.

Kian halted beside Bakugou, deciding to keep his distance.  She seemed a bit shy.  Afraid even.  "Dia dhuit, Suvi," he offered quietly from beside the other feline.  "We're not going to hurt you.  I'm your uncle, Kian and this is Bakugou, a crewmate."  He fixed his eyes on his brother, tail flicking.  Suvi had, it appeared, arrived in a very similiar way to Raziel, if he remembered correctly, and he did not take that as a good sign.  For a second he considered his twin, but he had a hard time believing Seamus would target Suvi of all of Raziel's children.  Perhaps someone else who wanted to challenge Raziel.  Bad choice.  "You're safe here."
