[OOC: mobile, claiming [member=2899]AUGUST[/member] , October CDC prompt "moonlight"]

The sun was setting rapidly and the moon was ever quick to take her place in the night sky. The jungle was still humming with activity, not as raucous as before but still not totally settled for the night.

He had spent much time considering, debating, and contemplating how he would go about this. At first he reckoned he would go to Jervis and make it more official. But he did not want to hunt for the elusive fox. Nor did he want to risk rejection. Then he decided just letting it happen, allow others to catch on eventually. But he realized it needed more immediate and pronounced action.

Besides, the Pitt was a place for conquerors. A place where you take and take or get left in the dust. Kydobi did not want them to take his dear friend. So he decided he would go about it in a louder way. With his rank, all except Bai Shi and Fourthwall could object. Of course their was Jervis but Kydobi had a feeling the fox would be thrilled to see the jaguar finally "engaging" in the Pitt's darker culture.

The moon was full and round. A hunters perhaps. But it was most certainly the brightest Kydobi had seen it in a long time. He had been lounging under the Event Temple. It seemed the moon rested right on the tip of pyramid. Everything around him was illuminated as the structure before him was bathed in softy and brilliant blue hues.

He let out a deep growl that rumbled into a small roar. A call for others to gather. He waited for a few NPCs to arrive.

"Pittians! I have two minor announcements. First off, I will be holding a mass spar session tomorrow at the strategist temple around midday. Spread the word I want so see all of you.", he would sit down. Tail curled around his paws as he straightened his back.

More were coming so be would allow a minor pause to be polite.

how quaint that the terrier is the first to appear. he remembered he and kydobi's chat rather clearly. by now he wasn't quite sure what to assume. he knew the jaguar was good on his word, that he may talk to jervis about their arrangement, but it had been a suspicious amount of time...

maybe he was just too eager, though.

he sat patiently in front of his friend, looking up at him with a half-smile. he could do that... tell the other's about a spar. that war sure was coming in close...

[ARGUS]

It made sense, for such a horrific place to only awaken within a fall's night air, argus cared little for the patrons that would go back and forth. the kind of dwellers that sought out services only found within the night; they rather liked to remain closer towards the border, the desert; alike the jungle the sands only grew in activity under the less harsher rays of a lighter celestial body. It was less punishing, more kinder foe; and it was a time argus found themselves more aware of themselves than the previous cycle - at least for the past days. The night was more rewarding at the borders ; watching dwellers sneak off to their secret homes the rest of them pretended to not know of; watching some of the rarer breeds of predictor lurk among the dunes.

It was hard to describe what drew them closer towards camp that night ; the bustle of activity had never drawn the beast like it did others. But the flippant call of one of the higher positions perked the dragon's interest ; and they found themselves there, resting within the shadows - escaping the light of the moon's own beacon - argus was a pale refraction of something pure ; and within the underbrush their ten glowing eyes seemed postivily demonic - hollow in nature.

"[glow=#cc3232,2,300]ura ura, demanding so much of us ky-do-bi. there is no telling if the rest will come ; but i will listen.[/glow]" red pupils turn towards the small dog within the murderer's shadow "[glow=#cc3232,2,300]You've caught my interest enough to warrant that, at least.[/glow]"

Perfect, he had wanted Auggie to be here to witness him make good on his promise. A smile and standard head bow was gifted to the terrier.

Argus would show up and Kydobi exhaled softly at their comment. He knew he was having more tasks than usual but preparation was key. He said nothing but blinked slowly and dipped his head softly to the right.

Then Vox showed up and Kydobi flicked his ear, "It isn't about being impressive. It's about all about improvement my friend. Which can lead to survival."

He waited another moment or two before deciding to start.

Clearing his throat he stood up, deciding not to think about what others would think. He spoke, "i also wanted to make a public claim to the.. slave August. He will be my personal slave."

God he hated that word with his every fiber. It made him internally wince to call his friend such.

"This means he answers to none and no one other than me. This means no one can punish him, or else you'll answer to me. No one will speak to him as less than they are. He will be treated with respect as a being, he is mine and I mean it. Should my, slave.. decide to have a mate and even offspring.. I automatically claim them. Should he have a den of his own you will not wreck it for it is mine. You will not harm him or his. You will not take from him. You will not scold him, cuff him, or demean him."

The jaguar had stood up mid speech and his tail was lashing. Some may see this for what it really was, protection. Others could perceive it as control and a claim. Regardless he was serious in it. August was his friend in the end.

"Do well to let others know he is under my protection."

He could see a scowl from a NPC but he did not care. Foolish to think they were above anyone.

"That is all. Thank you for bothering despite the time. I bid you all a good night."

oh? oh. he thought, eyes growing wide as kydobi began. this is it! oh wow. oh... was it normal to feel lightheaded? maybe it was the pure elation he felt as kydobi did as he promised. genuinely. the fox terriers body lit up with the feeling of warmth, their tail unable to keep still even if he tried.

his paws did a small tip-tap of excitement, his gaze purely focused on the jaguar with a broad smile on his maw. part of him would be sad to see that his take of 'freedom' in not being owned was gone, but overpowered by the joy in feeling protected at it's cost. as the marauder closed up his formality, august bounded up to the jaguar.

"i just need to get my stuff and i'll meet you home, okay?" home. what an alien thought. though he had some books tucked away he would not want found. lest everyone know he read pride and prejudice. "thank you. thank you so much." he added, pressing his forehead to kydobi's chest before running off to collect his things.

Although they we're possibly as old as him he couldn't help but view their joint like a little child. the elation of the dog's face was amazing into know that he was the cause of it made him feel quite special.

The nuzzle to his chest was happily received with a deep chuckle. A smile on his face at the gratitude, all for them. It was nice.

"as you wish August I'll help you set up your den.", he smiled at Vox. Dipping his head and saying "Goodnight"
