Tali?±a nodded.  "Ryen is like a brother to me, actually.  I've known him since I was a pup.  We... we were gonna fight in the war together, but his first--and only--battle changed his mind about the war.  My first one only battle did nothing to me.  If anything, it made me realize the mistake I made siding with the Imperials." She said.  Inside, she had always been more for the Purines, but she hadn't wanted to fight her mate.

Asu offered a tiny smile.  "It's okay.  I'm just... not used to people being so enamored with my appearance.  After all, I am far from the only Imperial Lucain out there." He said.  Fire laughed as she whispered, "More like he's still heartbroken over Justine."

Braska arrived in the middle of all the pets and trainers, he let off a small 'Raour' of greeting. The cloth hanging from its horn swayen as he shook his head. Its eyes looked about the Pets. It let out a bellowing roar, almost signalling.

Styx rose his head to the roar, from a small bowl of fruit and looked over to Braska. He looked back to his Companions. Zidane was munching on his treats and Beatrix was eating raw meat. They both nodded at Styx who wagged his dual tails and begun to lope towards Braska. Beatrix and Zidane followerd him. Duskie yelled after them. "Oh! Don't worry! I can pitch this by myself!" Zidane called back, fairly cheekily "A'ight!" and Duskie grumbled under her breath. Pitching the tent with somewhat of a struggle.

"Odd." Fire said.  "I doubt Justine would hunt Asu down, from what he said.  She was a Purine Lucain.  Asu had fallen totally in love with her, and then she ended it." Asu looked up when he heard his name mentioned, and then, he said, "I... actually need to go.  I wish to go pay my respects to Si'Hana at the Craiss Caverns." At this, he took his Lucain form and ran off.

"I say!" Tali said, looking towards the Hollowheart in confusion and disgust.  "There's no need to roar like that.  I know you're outdoors and all, but still have some courtesy!" She looked down to Firehail and said, "That's quite all right, Firehail.  It's nothing to be ashamed of, not wanting to fight.  Sometimes it is best to be afraid of some things... like war."

Tock and Wash ran up to the new pets, and sat a way in front of them.
"Hello!" Tock said quietly."How are you this fine day?"
Brave sat near his owner, glaring at the imperial Lucaim.
I may not have been in the war, he thought savagely.But i wish the purines would have won.
Wash ran in circles, then decided to take a golden sock from his bag.
"Wanna play a game of tug, anyone?" he chirped.


(Wash lvl 2 2/5
Tock lvl 2 2/5
Brave lvl 2 /5)

[MythicDusk]

Ooc: Sorry 'bout that, if I do it again, feel free to stab me.

Bic:

Braska nodded to the other Hollowheart, his head lowering in respect and his graty voice seemed to echo through others minds as it said. "I apoligise for my intrusion, and I am Braska, I have no other title, and I was simply adopted by my mistress. Although, she does not seem to ant to come and greet us." He seemed to sigh.

He then looked over to the other female Lucain and bowed his head slightly, still sending his thoughts as speech. "I apoligise miss, but it was simply to call for my companions. I cannot send my thoughts that far." Beatrix slowly apporached and smiled at them, her tail wagging as she pounced onto Braska's back and he winced as she dug in her claws and held onto his neck as he shook. She fell off with a loud 'Whump' and then huffed, shaking off her dirt and trotting back to Styx.

Zidane flicked his ears gently at Tock and said politley. "We're fine, 'ow about you?" Styx smiled at Wash and lowerd himself onto his forelegs, rising his haunches in the air, his tails curling over his back. He smiled and said. "Well, lets play." Beatrix watched them with a cocked head and chuckled.

Fire nodded.  "I see..." She said, smiling as she looked back at Tali?±a, who had just as big of a smile on her face.  "Yeah... Tali didn't get to see too much action, save for her one battle... I'll never forget how I felt when I looked my Gallizar in the eyes right after Tali, ah... died in battle.  I thought I was gonna die..." She said.  "War-scarred pets?  A few of those came home to us, too... A Fighter and a Goldclaw Werebetta, a Joker Gallizar, a Morning Kitrell, an Evren Bruiser, a Peacer Fellox, and then Asuchiwan, the Imperial Lucain that... oh hey, he left..." She said.

Tali smiled.  "Yeah... big things are usually scary, no matter what..." She said.  "Even for me, some things are scary.  But I can guarentee this, I am not fighting in another war for as long as I live." She said.

Duskie eventually risen from pitching her tent and wandred over to the large band, she smiled at Braska and stoked his neck, and she looked over to Beatrix, whom was now chasing Zidane.

Styx looked over at the Tali and smiled slightly. "We seem to be playing tug." he smiled and stood taller. Still smiling. His crimson eyes glinting with kindness.

[SpringsSong]

Tali?±a looked around.  Something seemed to be calling her now... and she knew exactly who it was.  "Hey, Fire.  I'm'a go ahead and go now.  Jawan's calling to me... so's a certain someone." She said, standing up and taking her Lucain form.  She dashed off, leaving Fire staring.

Fire patted Thunder's shoulder gently.  "Ryen came close to dying, I know, but... his opponent sacrificed himself so that Ryen might live and be able to come home." She said.  "But... I'm just as glad that he came home after that.  Ryen was never a fighting type--well, fighting to hurt someone, that is."

Duskie glanced at them all, and then she watched as Beatrix walked over to the tent, frowning slightlyand begun to take it down. She said to the group "We apoligise, but we must leave you. Our home calls to us." She nodded politley at them all, whistled to Styx, who trotted over and begun to walk away, swinging the packed-up tent over her shoulder and giving the pets different things to carry. she looked at braska, hearing his voice within her head. "Will we return one day?" She shrugged, and continued to walk.
