head turning to aker, they smiled, "greetings to you, aker. did you follow us?", he must have, for the journey itself had been harsh and they had stopped many times, giving more than enough time for the two children to catch up. looking back to the border, they nodded to the small morsel of food, "go ahead aker, you must be hungry", they murmured warmly, eyes tired as they took in the siblings with an exhale. how wonderful it would feel to sink into their nest when they got home. numb their paw, pain pulsing up their leg in jolts, weight leaning to the other side of their body, paw light against the ground, throbbing with agony they did their best to hide from the young ones. ears catching the sound of claw upon stone and a new scent, the jaguar returned their attention to the border.

before them stood two beings within one, surprise momentarily flitting across their face before they dipped their head in greeting, "greetings, alani and hani. my name is lin bai, but please call me bai shi. the two cubs here with me are my wards, wuyi and aker. their mothers used to belong to this group a long time ago, as well as my fallen mate. i come here with a request on their behalf, and on behalf of myself. i am the kingpin of a group called alithis evgenis, a group near on the other side of the land.", they spoke as they shrugged their shoulder to access their bag. turning their head back, they pulled it from their shoulders, lifting their sore paw through the loop. "and i bring with me, goods to give in goodwill.", they rumbled softly as they put the bag down.

looking to aker and wuyi, they let their face show warmth, blue eyes looking between the two heads, "i bring herbs from my land, maps and some of our specialty foods. the last i was here, tena had newly taken lead. it does well to meet you, and i wish you success in your leadership. the names of their mothers are playerone and kade, otherwise known as ariside. ariside once had a forge upon the beach, closest to the river, likely destroyed in any storms since. yet i ask your permission to let them search for something of hers. she's taken a very long journey and they are sure to miss her, she left nothing with their other mother when she left." they would speak carefully, in a way that any other adult would understand that the one they spoke of would not return from this 'journey'. "i would also like to speak with you on the possibility of setting up a trade route. i would love to learn more of your group, as it has been a long time since i was here, merely to bury the dead and collect belongings that belonged to my bloodline." they murmured, a ghost of pain showing in their gaze before it was blinked away.
