ERIS : meeting, 10.21

[FUBUKI]

[align=center][div style="text-align: justify; width: 60%; font-family: georgial; font-size: 11pt;"]Meetings normally filled with a dull air had taken a turn for the dark side recently. It was a perfectly justifiable feeling, even one normally good at concealing hardships was struggling to convey any sort of positivity. Ren approached, settled somewhat close to Onision as he paid more attention to the tail end of the bad news. A dry mouth prevented him from saying anything, from mumbling or turning to another for guidance, regardless of what he learned... a murderer still ran rampant in the ranks. Grey eyes could cast themselves over the crowd, and he'd lock eyes with somebody who committed one of the worst crimes possible. It made him feel sick, tail even lashing as the meeting continued on. Curfew frustrating but understandable, no internal comments were made by the feline.

His name's called out then. Starstruck Guardian, good job with the friendly shit. Through a heavy heart, a sparkle of pride emerged, and though he didn't have the energy to smile, Ren still offered a nod of his head in gratitude. Turning to look at Oni as the other was called out, his ears flickered towards a flattened position for just a second. Ouch. Being publicly called out that like mustn't be fun, and whilst a level of mutual respect may have been found between the two following the Sunhaven incident, Ren couldn't argue that some behaviours seen were totally acceptable. "Thanks," he mumbled as the feline congratulated him, weak smile adorn his white maw as he found his voice again. Right, he couldn't let it drag him down, he needed to find a way to get to the bottom of the barbaric slaughters.
