cold as ever the reaction they received. they couldn't blame the tigress. there had been a time for war, a time for peace, for neutrality, and even worse things. exhaling, they stepped back, signaling as best as they could that they did not aim to bring harm to any of the members there. they had their own things to worry about, bandits breathing down their neck, their children dying from attacks and cave ins, driven off by their enemies. eyes focused on her face, they could see some of the exhaustion there in the set of her face. the year hadn't been kind to everyone, no, it truly hadn't. they bowed their head a bit, the once blind dragon having regained their eyesight slowly by the strenuous efforts of their practitioner and best friend, malak. "goldenluxury, a pleasure to see you again.", they were still bitter about their eyesight, they hadn't gotten to see their daughter until her body lay mangled and her life long gone. they were old, and they were used to war, though the losses never quite fit in the same way.

neither leader wanted to be here, but they alone needed to be here, for at least one reason. "i am out of line to ask, but has idyllfields returned?", they knew that the coyote had disappeared so long ago, fallen to what they could only call the curse that followed them. inhaling slightly, they pushed those sad memories away, blinking, "i have also come with an invitation. we do not stand upon good grounds, but i would at least like to try to fix some of that standing, though i am well aware of the dislike sown between us. we all had our own reasons to do what we did in that battle, and we all lost someone or something.", they murmured softly, "today, i'm here to invite you to a bonfire in my group's territory, and to ask if there is anything that my watches can do for you. we are going about, and i am showing a friend of my family's child, wuyi, around. xe is very adventurous, and it's better to show xem the way around the lands, before xe goes about it alone.", fancy words, fancy filling. perhaps they were here out of longing for one of those who had long left them behind.

the scent of roses hit them like a bolt of electricity, so similar to the scent of the she-cat that had come to their group one eve. their gaze took in a white coated molly, her voice reaching them. she didn't quite sound the same, but the scent was near identical, though the tone was unfamiliar. "fakhira?", they murmured, confused and surprised by this confrontation, unaware of the difference between the gray coated molly and the ivory one before them. tipping their head slightly out of confusion, they scented from afar, knowing better than to move closer. had she seen them in their dragon body before? t'was a shame that they could not remember. "i know goldenluxury's name, as i used to be a member of the rosebloods a long time ago and more recently a member of the pitt previously under jervis' reign, then kydobi's.", they rumbled, their puzzlement evident on their face. what a strange moment they were presented with.
