The kodkod had spotted the group, not too far from the ruin of ashes. His form blended right inside where he had made his den, oh so many moons ago, now he retreated from it, his figure a small dot along the mar of the sands before he grew slightly, barely reaching the size of the smallest creature there. he accepted it with a grace, ice cold eyes watching the newcommer as he settled along the spot, seating in the sands. " don't think I've seen you, but from what i hear you were here- and left long before i showed up as well, hm?" The kodkod's voice was kind, boyish even as he greeted forthwall.

"You can call me Jack," Jack offered a low grin along his maw turning a touch mischievous. "I was a marauder too, before: though I think Imperator isn't anything to scoff at, hmm?" He shook his head, knowing that the small joke might more peeve the audiance here than anything else, Vale's current clash with Gael, and the sense of dramatics vey played at to get other's to their side was dirty, but in a challenge it should remain on the challenger and the challenged, he saw no reason to drag the rest of the clan into the game.

Were vey expecting revolt? Rapid change? Vale was bloodthirsty and wished for that blood to be paid, vey tried to argue for their right for justice, when it was actually Gael and aine who had lived it, had moved on from it. He shifted his eyes towards vem for a moment, his look more... praising than it was annoyance.

"There is plently to catch you up on, if you plan on staying, this time" for good Jack thought carefully, watching the interactions play out. He kept his tone withdrawn from his initial emotions, but allowed that same flicker- faux nature slip out clearly. "But as the clan has changed- is still, i expect you have as well, hm?"
