RHYTHM OF THE NIGHT && ANNOUNCEMENT

[wormwood.]

Several months ago – it felt so much closer than that still, but Worm knew that was just his mind, still reeling in depression over what had happened – Wormwopd had his own issues with having a lover from the Pitt. Draekon had his problems, of course, particularly when he ended up being the cause of Sam's kidnapping, but... Worm had loved him so much. Now the thought of the tiger just made the guardsman's heart ache, remembering in stark detail the morning where he had woken up, and Draekon had just been gone, abandoning Tanglewood and abandoning Worm as well. That had colored Worm's interactions with the Pitt quite darkly for quite a while now – not to mention the multiple heinous things they had done since then – but it was also what had made it so that Worm knew that not everyone who resided within the Pitt was a bastard... just most of them. Needless to say, however, he wouldn't be putting the blame on Indie for this one. For one thing, she hadn't even known that Kydobi was a Pittian, unlike himself, and it didn't seem as though her and Kydobi had any sort of fledgling romantic relationship. It just seemed as though it had been a fling, although it had a few unexpected consequences. He tried to remember what Kydobi was, from what Draekon had mumbled about his clanmates back during their relationship, but the only thing he could remember was a "large black feline." It sounded like apanther, or a jaguar, but surely that couldn't be right. Indie wouldn't be pregnant then... would she? He didn't think so, but perhaps he was wrong, and it was just something that he hadn't read about in any of his books. Still, his thought process was getting off track, and the lion realized with a start that he had been sitting in front of the slab Indie was on silently for several minutes. That couldn't have felt good for her, as she was obviously waiting for some sort of response from the crowd, preferably a good one. He could sense a few npcs who were shifting around him beginning to get ready to speak, but he decided to preempt them all, for Indie's sake.

Getting up to his large golden paws, the winged lion moved to climb up onto the slab beside Indie, gently touching his nose to her ear and rumbling softly, "Congratulations, Indie. I know this isn't the most ideal of conditions, but children really are wonderful things, and if you ever need any help, feel free to come to me. Or Selby, of course. He's better in the medical area." He smiled softly down at the other before he turned to face the crowd, his tail lashing from side to side beside him as he rumbled, his voice firm and intimidating as he addressed everyone before him, "I wholeheartedly support Indie and her decisions, and it's pretty clear from what she's told us that she had no idea that Kydobi was in any way a Pittian, so truthfully she has done nothing wrong. She deserves to have and raise her children peacefully, and if Kydpbi chooses to be in these children's life, it will hopefully be after our raid of the Pitt, and after Goldie sets them straight, with Jervis dead in the ground. And if anybody decides to be rude or cruel to her over this, I would like you all to know that you will have to answer to me, got it? Indie's my friend, and even if she wasn't, I won't stand for disrespecting a clanmate, here for business or not." He had been warn out lately, exhausted by bad event after bad event, not to mention his own problems with his missing child, but this was the first good news he had heard in weeks, maybe months. Sure, these weren't the best conditions for children to be conceived in, but still. Children were good, and they deserved to have happy lives, without they problems their mother being harassed.
