A MOTHER'S EMBRACE // meeting 4/29

[Starrynight !]

//OOC

Everyone was bickering and shouting challenges at him. Starrynight was looking increasingly dejected and insecure. Well, yes, there was a possibility Beck would attack him, but... ”That’s true, but-“ His quiet interjection was interrupted by Suite, followed by Maes.

The Astral Seraph’s face slowly melted into a scowl. A gas similar to that around his paws began to leak from his mouth. Almost immediately after Roy’s friend finished speaking, a crackle of electricity cut through the air. ”Enough!” he spat. His tail lashed from side to side. Sparks danced across his back and between his paws. ”We are a peaceful group, and I will be damned by the stars before I let any of you change that! If there is a peaceful way to end any tension, then we will do so.” He took in a deep breath.

Starrynight’s glare shifted to Roy. ”Whether or not I choose to fight is none of your business, Roy. If it comes down to it, I am perfectly capable of defending myself.” As if to emphasize his point, another loud crackle of electricity lept into the air before fizzling out. ”None of you have even bothered to consider this situation from Beck’s point of view. He has had Ascendants trespass on his territory multiple times now. For a warbound group such as Tanglewood, this is likely a mere warning on their end. Just as you are angry at him, he is angry at us. I will be going there alone. There will be no further discussion about it.”

Gradually, as his anger subsided, the massive aura around his paws shrunk to normal. The gas leaking from his jaws subsided. The milky feline sighed. ”If they do raid us in the end, we will have just as many advantages as they do. Our territory is on the plains. Air can travel a long way. Tanglewood doesn’t have a very... pleasant smell. If they’re coming, we’ll know.” His reasoning was now directed at Maes. He attempted to meet the canine’s eyes as he spoke. ”Many of you know I reside in the observatory’s control room. This place is a massive, connected facility. Not many of you know all of the mechanics I control, but if it makes you feel better, I’d like you to know the door to the observatory is mechanical. I can close and lock it. I also have keys to every room in this place, including your rooms. Your belongings are safe, and so are you. Not to mention that the underground complex is massive and, well, complex. If raiders got down there, they would have a grand time trying to find anyone.” Starrynight shifted his paws. ”And another thing- the tall grasses east of here are also a very good place to hide and retaliate should it come down to it. Are there any more concerns I need to address?”
