[number nine.]

She supposed that should've been obvious, but then again, she never assumed that people were family just because they shared the same species. After all, she shared her feline species with many other people across the land, and she was in no way related to any of them. But seeing as the oddly grotesque dobermans were addressing each other in such familial terms, this was one of those occasions where she could go by the species... although honestly it was a bit hard to tell they were all dobermans. Ruckus seemed a bit odd, but he was at least recognizable as a doberman. Meanwhile, Eldritch was... well, Nine had never been one to judge based upon appearances, but she kinda had to do a double take when he confirmed himself as a member of the group of brothers. She supposed she could see doberman beneath everything, but the tentacles reminded her more of a squid than anything else.

She had already seen Alastor around the group a bit lately, so she felt comfortably coming up beside him and sitting, pulling her front legs close as she inspected the newcomers. She glanced at Alastor and questioned softly, her fluffy tail waving from side to side behind her, "You know these two, Alastor? I'm assuming they're fine to accept in, then?" Of course, she didn't mean officially, as there was a whole process to become a full member of Elysium, which even she hadn't gone through yet, but they could at the very least be led in and shown around. Or rather, they seemed familiar with Elysium, so maybe they could be shown around and told if anything was different from when they had left. After all, there had been a burning neither she nor they had been present for.
