You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon! /O, Joiner

[Grimm]

Brief the relief that seeped through gentle sigh passing betwixt closed teeth, response enough to quell the doubt arising in his throat, relaxing to a slight degree. Attention turned with her words, regarded once more the blanket in which located the kitten, halted before he may take the golden fabric. Stance over top one familiar, adopted in times terror overwhelmed, gentle the smile he offered child as he spoke hushed words. "I won't take it from you."

Rather than admittance the presence of Elsweyr seemed enough to diffuse the situation, back child stepping before departure from ground was conducted, a limp little thing aloft held in careful hold. Short the laughter that escaped, taken up the blanket, checked for any soil that may muddy it. None located departure was conducted a few steps behind the other, quickened his steps to close the distance, behind trailing, at times halted by the look Elsweyr cast over her shoulder. Purpose easily detected, respond immediate each time, however, even as the town nestled within the heart of the sodden terrain grew visible.

Alone were the two left for a moment, rather clueless as how to proceed as he gently rested the fabric near the child, watching in silence the movement the cheetah conducted. Her arrival was quick and deposited a morsel seemingly befitting the tiny thing, ravenous in the quick feast she settled into. Disturbance of quiet scene expected, forth ears drawn, about lips drawn a tentative smile. It indeed seemed an odd situation, the cheetah arriving with customs she had acquired from a tribe supposedly not settled on these shores, and the lion that was little more than a child himself, both now tending a kitten that seeming too young to be alone.

"Oh uh, Elsweyr found her," hurried the words Salvia spoke to fill the silence left in wake of query, fallen silent as kitten — Ares briefly halted to voice her anger. The display was not terrifying, far from it, but Salvia still treated it as though it were something of more substance than a disgruntled kitten voicing her rage. Chin rested atop the earth and he made himself as small as was possible, once more adopting a soft tone. "Is okay, this is my dad, he won't hurt you or steal your fish."
