Ro' had disappeared to god knows where, although he had still claimed the necklace they had oh so graciously left, leaving them behind to fulfill the entirety of Lirim's expectations by themselves. They didn't mind, though, and that made it far easier than if they had. Ronan had always been difficult, even before his self proclaimed name change and 'turn around,' far less invested in the power that Lirim had bestowed upon their first two children. The power was never something he cared much for, though... it left South with a lot more of it to hoard for themselves. They didn't mind that either; they lived on the attention, and the strength it filled them to watch others bow.
Ro' never called them out on it, either, and as far as South saw it, he allowed this behavior. Their brother, bless his confused soul, still loved them despite everything... and South? South loved him beyond everything, beyond even the void who had created them. There were just some things they didn't see eye to eye on, and the lion believed in the saying that if you loved something, it was best to let it go. He'd turn around eventually... and when that happened, they would take him in with open arms, sharing whatever power it was they had managed to acquire in that time, although given how hesitant he'd been thus far... they expected that they'd have the entire world to share by that time.
But the conquest started with one small, humble step. South hadn't bothered with clans until just recently, when they felt prepared enough to do so. You couldn't command respect if you didn't earn it first... and there were a few necessary steps the feline had to do before stepping into any group in order to curb a lot of the traits that most people frowned at. For now they were the image of polite, an easy grin spread across their features, body laid back as they waited on the border of the Rosebloods, peering through the foliage in an attempt to find... something. Someone, rather.
