THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING // open, Tanglewood visitors

[VIGENERE CIPHER.]

[Morgan]

Morgan's eyes widened at the sight of Atbash, who looked very similar to his companion. He kept track of her unique presence, registering it in his mind along with those of the others in the area. "I'm Morgan, Tanglewood's Deputy. It's nice to finally meet you, Atbash." He let part of his mask melt enough to show his happy blue eyes. "Yes, we have some gifts for you. Here they are..." He pushed the pouch forward and sat back, looking into the leader's eyes. The dog turned to Vigenere next, nodding at the warning. "We've come a long way to tell you this, Atbash. Please heed Vigenere's warning; he just wants the best for you."

The samoyed took a step toward Vigenere, keeping close to him. "It's almost nightfall. Would you mind if we stay here for a night? I'm sorry to ask for so much." He looked back toward Atbash, his exposed eyes meeting hers once more. "I understand if you wouldn't feel safe since our groups are only neutral with each other. Don't feel obliged to help us."

[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

i should've said what i hear
i should have let myself fear

Atbash was a bit embarrassed at Morgan's statement of 'finally' meeting her. That meant that Vigenere had talked about her before and she honestly wasn't quite sure how she felt about that. The she-cat shuffled her paws a bit before she took the pouch Morgan offered. "Thank you, it's appreciated." She chirped, though as Vigenere's warning hit her ears she frowned. He just discovered he's here? She thought to herself. Although then again, that made sense. Tanglewood and The Typhoon weren't exactly allies, were they? "He's... already attacked me, Vigenere." Atbash replied with a frown. "I know he's here. He's in The Typhoon." And they recently got rid of The Typhoon as allies, so that might open up a whole other can of worms.

Turning back to Morgan and trying to hide her worry, Atbash responded, "You're welcome to stay. We should have room somewhere for you guys for the night." Probably in the Banquet Hall. Tanglewood was neutrals, as Morgan mentioned, but she trusted them. After all, Vigenere was there and she knew this brother wouldn't harm her. Morgan seemed very pacifist as well.
