SADE IN THE 90s ☆ tanglewood patrol

[Atticus Roux]

Not today. Not this fucking bullshit. After the last meeting, Atticus had made it his goal to parade after Tanglewood's patrol and interject in their little 'friendly' meeting as a presumed neutral. Not only for Sweeney and his own safety, but for the truce between both of his homes. Otherwise lives would be on the line. With his eyes set on the horizon, the canine set out. He kept his length behind the group of Tanglewood members, specifically keeping an eye on his mother, and stayed within the shadows. When they met the treeline, he remained. Aurum's words caused his teeth to grind together and rage to arise. For as much respect he held for the lion, he couldn't help but dislike his prideful and overconfident 'superior' attitude during his speech. A silent sigh left him. He would have to see how the others responded.

As Pittians piled in, including Gael, pointed ears raised. His paws slowly moved forward as the ardent spoke, progressively revealing himself from the shadows with caution. He couldn't help but see the reason in Gael's words. Dante had been rightfully punished. The Pitt's members were no stranger to cruelty, especially with traitors. To Atticus, the punishment was understandable. He couldn't help but feel like his counterparts in Tanglewood would feel indifferent, causing him to bite his tongue.

He wavered on the sidelines, eyeing the pirate as he spoke and nodding along with Kian's words. As the Irishman finished, Atticus sauntered forward. Now within the light, he strolled to the middle of the two groups. While he would usually greet his fellow Pittians, amidst his pain and annoyance, Atticus chose to get to the point. "As a member of both The Pitt and Tanglewood-" His eyes momentarily shifted between the two leaders. He hesitated locking eyes with Aurum, knowing he'd probably get bashed for his appearance later on. "-some form of neutrality would be preferred."

Atticus didn't want to repeat Kian's words. The pirate's speech echoed his own thoughts, especially handing Dante over to Aurum and subjecting him to the lion's disdain. Tanglewood's leader was ruthless. There was no question to it. The Pitt was better off handling the traitor's punishment. "Dante's ass is getting kicked already and blatantly ignored big man's word at the border." Yellow hues moved to Gael. His head craned, hoping his assumption was correct. Whether or not confirmation came, the wolf finalized his words. "I think it's safe to say he's been dealt with." No more blood needed to be spilled.

He intervened his thoughts to peer over at the rest of the Pittians. Aine... Gael... It had been so long since he had seen them. His head dipped in greeting. A subtle smile curled upon his maw. Sweeney and Atticus would come see them soon... and in peace. For now, this situation had to be kept neutral and they needed to heal fully before they traversed any farther.
