sounds of pawsteps soft and uneasy, steady and calm. turning their head, the scarred jaguar smiled at the sight of the hybrid and great tom approaching them. bowing their head, they rumbled a soft greeting, "welcome to our home, hurricane, and lovely medusa.", they would answer with a forward bow of their front half of their body, a welcoming purr rumbling in their chest. standing up, they awarded a rare warm smile, "feel free to go to the inn to warm up, or stay near. the bonfire will be lit shortly", they spoke gently, ears turning as they heard new voices and smelt new scents. turning their head back, they took in the typhoon's scent, ears pricking up.

dipping their head, they rumbled softly, "if you'll excuse me", they murmured, turning to greet the other newcomers. trotting towards rosemary, they chuckled, happy to see that even the members of the typhoon could come and feel at peace. this was not the place for war or grudges being held. flicking an ear, they rumbled a greeting, "hello, rhinestonestar and rosemary. a pleasure to meet you rosemary, i'm bai shi, the kingpin of this group, alithis evgenis.", they murmured, turning their gaze to rhine with a rumble of greeting, "rhinestonestar, it's great to see you here, with your clanmates.", they smiled, nodding back to medusa and hurricane, their gaze taking in asteri and sloan, two of their own. a gentle smile graced their face, looking upon groupmate and their own child tenderly, "this is sloan, my youngest.", they would murmur, introducing sloan to rosemary, fond paternal affection in their gaze.

turning their head back to the bonfires, they turned their gaze up to the darkened sky, "alright everyone, i think it's dark enough to light up the bonfire. bare with us for a moment as we light it!", they would rumble before approaching the bonfire and spreading their jaws. feeling the thimble in their throat kick to life, electricity catching and spreading along their jaws, they would direct it to the dry kindling of the bonfire. stepping back as the fire caused by the lightning caught and spread, engulfing the wood in a fierce crackling splitting into a roar before it settled to lick and eat at the bonfire slowly. content, they curled their tail and stepped back to take in the view, their own silent wishes sent as the wood caught flame.
