[VASS .]

It was a study in guards: Rhinestonestar and Vaas both. When they met he had acknowledged the wall between them. Two different groups unified into a single force. Vaas' own disquiet rebellion against the glade's customs never felt true on the outward perspective, in comparison towards the tiger's almost brazen welcome to the glade's people. When it was still a clan fully under the cowl of the stars. It was a careful balance then, between the open dislike of the clan's beliefs while still holding true to the meaning of clan- fuck -family (because Vaas was not native to a clan, native to a clan's island yes but- it all got mixed up in his head - too much so that he forgot which was what )

Family, clan: it didn't matter in the end.

He understood the concepts, the principles of them both. But Palm glades wasn't simply a clan anymore, not to him. It was his now, his to claim to and wholly his : the same way that he was a member of the glades. He found a sister in Medusa, brother's in Quasar and Dovah. Rhinestone and him, it was hard to describe, hard to fit him in any singular title. Rey - King was a term of endearment, an encouragement all in one. From what once was a leader to another, Vaas submitted any role of leadership when the two parts of the territory merged together. He didn't want leadership- never did.

Rhinestonestar came inside the den of the once boss and he felt a loose chuckle escape him. Tone dry and depreciating of the true words worry that they both knew hid there. Almost everyone saw Vaas at his weakest point, when rhinestone had passed, before he renounced the star's for turning away from them. Vaas' own shouts and roars that night... He didn't want to loose him again, couldn't. Looking at the new form of the leader was a reminder of how much he had failed as a medeci legionis, yet he was still there: the only one they had. It made him want to try harder, do better.

His eyes caught to the necklace as Rhinestone spoke, it was interesting, full of bone and teeth and everything in between, strung together on a cord that looked sturdy. He watched Rhinestone quietly for a moment, an unreadable expression, he let the silence pass- never one for the discomfort of it. Instead watching the other's face, expression- never the eyes. "Like adults, we should talk about this, hm? So responsible."

Vaas wasn't one for being wel thought out, as much as he bluffed it: a creature of impulse. He could calculate- plan to an extent. He dealt well with confrontations, but he found himself out of his element here. Sitting down on the concrete of the floor sent a chill up his back but he looked up, met void-red eyes and breathed. Taking comfort in the fact that he wasn't alone about it. "I'm not- fuck, I am not the kind of person to really talk about things, we know this. M'not..."

He sighed the last words out, looking imploringly. He wasn't responsible, wasn't kind, he wasn't the kind to fall in love. Yet he was holding one of the crutial ranks in the clan, he made cloaks for the winter chill- to prevent what happened to rhine happen to anyone else - he felt for Rhinestonestar - was it love?

"I'm not going to promise you something i cant do, but i need to know what you want, Rhinestonestar." Vaas spoke, his paws pulling the necklace closer to him to inspect while he spoke. Marveling at the necklace made for him. "When you left, when you... when we thought you dead[i] I didn't think i could even function." Vaas looked up, looked towards Rhinestone with an emotion he couldn't name uncurling in his chest. Soft like affection. "I'm not going to pretend what is between us isn't there, but what is it you want out of this?"
