Cenric quickly graabed onto Roalas dress, just now regeristing the new presence in the small room.
Roala felt hands grab the back of her dress when Forest whirled around. She quickly put a hand out to him. "Hey." She turned back to Cenric and smiled reassuringly. "Cenric this is Forest. Forest come out and meet my brother."
Cenric stared at him a little scared. Just what was going on?

"That was my companion. How did he...."
"Your companion?" he echoes, frown crossing his face to mirror hers, watches her expression change, soft sigh, small smirk, recognizing the look "Get going then, they're waiting for you."

Stiffening when the wolf seems to get the best of Iniago, Jakys starts to step forward, going deathly still when coldness touches his throat. Eyes raking back to try and get a look at his captor, he frowns at the sound of a girls voice, hand still clutching his sword
"Don't move a muscle. Or he'll get his throat ripped out by Onyx."
"Onyx?" he mutters, snorting, unphased "Why don't you let my wolf go, girl, before your gut is stuck by my blade."

"Hey. Cenric this is Forest. Forest come out and meet my brother."
Forest's eyes flicked between him then her, confused, before it partially registered and he shifted back, taking a small step back, still looking like he had seen a ghost. He swallowed, finding his voice, and spoke, "Apologies.""Onyx? Why don't you let my wolf go, girl, before your gut is stuck by my blade."
The girl snorted, a smirk on her face. "You think I'd believe that's your wolf? You're not Kaji'it. You're southern. He," she gestured to Iniago, "is a wolf of the Kaji'it."
Iniago's eyes flicked to the girl, something clicking behind his eyes, and he took a breath and started to let out a howl.
Her eyes flicked to him, hissing, "Shut him up."
Onyx growled deeply and drove his head into Iniago's chest, his howl cutting short as he yelped, scrambling again. The two wrestled in the snow once more, though Onyx kept him at bay, bigger in build.
"S'pose it doesn't matter now. At least we're looking for the same person, and that howl might just do the trick." She chuckled when Iniago growled deeply and started to thrash.
"Your companion? Get going then, they're waiting for you."
Iberia looked at him. "I--" A howl in the distance cut her off and she grew more rigid than stone, and her hair seemed to rustle like a wolf's fur on its hackles. She whipped around, eyes darting in the direction of the howl. "A howl of warning," she mumbled, gaze sharpening and growing cold as it cut short abruptly. Her muscles quivered in hesitation and uncertainty, knowing Iniago was in trouble for him to howl, but knowing that he would do he damnedest to keep her safe. "I can't leave him," she murmured to herself as a driving momentum, and she took off towards the woods, forgetting about her sword.

"Apologies."
Cenric peeked around her, just in time to see her hand fall-shoulders simoutaniously relaxing. After a moment he stepped out from where he was hiding, nodding his head at him. "Hello." It was polite to say hello to those addressing you. Although he had done it, he took a small step back.
Roala stepped forward and placed a hand on his face, noticing how unfocused his eyes appeared. "What did you see?"

"You think I'd believe that's your wolf? You're not Kaji'it. You're southern. He, is a wolf of the Kaji'it."
"It's my betrothed's wolf, and you'd do best to watch your tongue." he hisses, eyes narrowing, jerks, trying to get his sword arm free enough to cut her
"Shut him up."
"S'pose it doesn't matter now. At least we're looking for the same person, and that howl might just do the trick."
"Don't you touch him!" he growls, emotion entering his voice a moment, wrestles himself free when Iniago yelps then thrashes at her statement, furious

"I--A howl of warning. I can't leave him,"
"You?" he asks, frowning when he hears a howl, opens his mouth to speak before sighing when she takes off, follows her, breaking into a sprint "Yes, well, I can't let you just run off alone either."

"What did you see?"
Forest started a little at the touch, gaze immediately flicking to her lips to catch her words. "It... It was a northern wolf. Just don't see them here." Now that he was caught off guard, his accent grew a little heavier and more throaty, and he looked towards the door."It's my betrothed's wolf, and you'd do best to watch your tongue."
Her grip tightened a little. "Which makes you all the more useful."
"Don't you touch him!"
Esper jerked back and away, dodging sword. "You best watch it. Onyx could snap his neck if you react too brashly. And I'm sure you don't want her to find out about that."
"Yes, well, I can't let you just run off alone either."
"You'd best watch out, blacksmith," she said as she started up the hill side, feet sure in the snow. "You're going to get yourself into a mess."
She slowed a bit, pausing and looking at tracks, finding a wolf's and a human's and follows them. However, when they crossed with another set of wolf's and human's, her jaw ticked, and she walked towards the edge of a small drop off, hearing growling and the voices.
"Don't you touch him!"
"You best watch it. Onyx could snap his neck if you react too brashly. And I'm sure you don't want her to find out about that."
And it all snapped into place. Growling, Iberia darted to the side around and lept straight for the wolves, leaping through the air and grabbing the black one's pelt as she landed, rolling and using the momentum to throw him away from Iniago, and just like the civil air was gone. She bared her teeth at the wolf, showing her dominance, whirling and pulling her knife out of her boot in one smooth movement, gaze flicking to Jakys then the girl. Her fire raged.
The girl grinned widely, her eyes sharpening to mimic Ib's. "Well well, I didn't think you'd come running that quickly." Her eyes flicked to Cas. "And there's the smithy that you stayed with." She made a mocking face of adoration. "How sweet."

Roala frowned. "Northern wolf? Why on earth would there be on here?"she lowered her hand after a moment following his gaze. "Is it still here?"
Cenric watched in slight awe. "He shifted." States bluntly. Even though half of him told him to escape, he wanted to know more about the male in front of him.

Gritting his teeth, Jakys starts to swing again before he stops at her words, jaw ticking "I will kill you." he hisses, though he remains still, not wanting to risk Iniago's life

"And you aren't?" Snorting softly, Caspian shakes his head "You're injured, remember?"
"Don't you touch him!"
"You best watch it. Onyx could snap his neck if you react too brashly. And I'm sure you don't want her to find out about that."
Hearing voices, he frowns, running up after her, eyes narrowing at the scene, darting around, taking in everything.
"Well well, I didn't think you'd come running that quickly. And there's the smithy that you stayed with. How sweet."
"And who are you?" he asks, crossing his arms over his chest, level headed

Forest didn't realize that she had spoke to him, gaze trained outside as he listened for a long moment. If he could hear, he would hear the distant echoes of a howl. Slowly, his muscles uncoiled as he recognized that the threat was gone, even if he himself couldn't do anything about it. His shoulders visibly lowered as he remained quiet. After feeling movement behind him, he turned and realized that Roala had said something, and he barely caught Cenric's words on his lips.
"He shifted."
Forest stared a moment, then looked down, having forgotten to try to keep his abilities to himself.
"Well well, I didn't think you'd come running that quickly. And there's the smithy that you stayed with. How sweet."
"And who are you?"
Iberia bristled. "Who do you think you are."
"Why, you're sister." She frowned a little. "Unless father didn't tell you."
Iberia's eyes narrowed sharply as Iniago scrambled to his feet, shaking his fur out. "Liar."
"No, I have the tatt to prove it." She rolled up her sleeve, revealing the same tattoo on her left shoulder that rests on Iberia's right shoulder blade. "Unfortunately, your mother ran me out of the village when I was younger." She smirked just a little. "Onyx."
On command, her wolf lept from behind, aiming straight for Ib's injured shoulder, colliding with her and knocking the knife from her hand as she hissed and whirled on the dog, teeth bared as she growled sharply, twisting at Espet knelt and picked up the knife.
"What do you want," she growled holding her shoulder, and Iniago found some of his fire and chased Onyx away from Ib, fur raised.
"Considering that you aren't being faithful to your arrangement with that cutie there, I challenge you."
"You don't know a damn thing."
"Oh, yes I do. Those are his clothes, for one. They smell like him. Two, you slept in his bed--"
"Alone." The word was a hiss.
"And, you weren't even going to try coming back yet, and instead was going shopping," Esper grinned. "So, I challenge you for the tribes, miss queen of them all. Which impresses me that you even agreed to the arrangements in the first place just for the people. You didn't seem like that type."

"Who do you think you are."
"Why, your sister. Unless father didn't tell you."

"You don't know a damn thing."

"He did. He's like you. Sorta."
Forest looked at her when she touched his arm, then looked to Cenric, slightly confused but didn't try to say anything for a few moments. Even though the world to him was silent, his mind was the loudest thing he could hear, and it was beginning to distract him. To tell, not to tell. Who are they, what are they, who was the wolf, why was the air feeling so strange, why did he feel threatened. His nose curled a little, the wolf showing through and he moved and sat down a moment, trying to clear his head.
Iberia's eyes snapped towards the movement from the corner of her eye, mouth opening, "No, Jak--"
Esper glanced towards him and twisted to her feet, parrying the swing with her own knife, swiping Ibera's knife across his thigh as she danced out of the way. "Come on, sweet heart," she cooed, looking at him, "this is just something between me and my sister." Hearing the tone in Iberia's voice, she looked at her with a raised brow. "Oh, so you do care about him."
Iberia bristled, caught in a situation she didn't know how to handle. Her ears burned and her lungs burned,, her shoulder throbbed. Her betrothed attacked, the man who helped her standing to the side. Her emotions trying to run free, her wolf injured. Her fist clenched and she coiled. "This is foolish."
"No, dear sister. It's the way things are." She turned back towards Jakys and flicked her wrist. "Onyx, grainet."
"No!" Iberia snapped, charging forward and Cas's cloaking falling to the ground from her shoulders, and as though connected to her thoughts, Iniago sprang as Onyx started towards Jakys, tackling the other wolf away. Iberia shoved her shoulder into Esper, knocking her bloodied knife from her grip and spun, catching it mid air and twisting around with a swipe at the girl. Esper twisted out of the way just in time and took a few jumpy steps back, grinning. "Finally." Iberia's gaze turned to liquid fire as she caught her footing, charging again with a clenched jaw as her instincts snapped into fight, wild and wolf-like traits finding their way into her movements.

"He did. He's like you. Sorta."
"Like me?" He tilted his head unsure what she meant. His gaze traveled from the two older present in confusion. Is him liking birds what she meant?"
Roala watched him before rubbing her neck. She wasn't sure how to explain it to the young boy when she wasn't a shifter. Catching movement out of the corner of her eye, her head turned. After a moment she Kneeled with him, slightly concerned.

"No, Jak--"/Eyes flicking to Iberia when she starts to speak, Jakys barely manages to return his attention quickly to Esper to parry her, grits his teeth when her blade catches his leg "Come on, sweet heart, this is just something between me and my sister."
"It became more than that when you attacked me and Iniago." "Oh, so you do care about him."
"This is between us. Not you and her." "This is foolish."
"No, dear sister. It's the way things are. Onyx, grainet."
"No!Gaze hardening, he looks at the wolf as it charges at him, brings up his sword, diverting it when he sees Iberia run by, goes deathly still "I think this is quite enough." Cas murmurs, loud enough for everyone to hear him, loud enough to be a low yell, but merely projecting his voice "Pointless fighting, will get you no where."Words: WORDS Addressed WORDS Mentioned: WORDS |

Forest remained still and quiet for some time, eyes closed and head low as he worked to clear his head and for things to be silent again. Once he had gotten control of himself again, he opened his eyes, pale green flicking towards Roala before away, embarrassed. "Apologies," he said, voice low. "It was just too loud..."
"It became more than that when you attacked me and Iniago. This is between us. Not you and her."
"You," Esper spoke between dodges, jabs, and parries, "were just a casualty of war. Maybe you could forgive me."
Iberia kept up a relentless assault, blade moving in a blue, silent except her feet in the snow and the breaths that flow in and out of her lungs with each movement, coordinated.
"I think this is quite enough. Pointless fighting, will get you no where."
At Cas's voice, something flickered across her gaze and her movements faltered, which gave Esper an opening. She grinned and twisted, knife swiping through the air, and Iberia's eyes widened as she jerked to the side, the knife sweeping by her. Ib caught her balance from her dodge and jumped back a few strides, falling still as Esper regained her balance. On Iberia's cheek, however, the swipe didn't miss-- blood welled on her cheekbone, stretching a little along the bone towards her ear.
Esper grinned. "Softie." Her grin faded when all she got in response was a twitch in Ib's arm. "Listening to a civil? I thought you were the best of the wild. Father spoke highly of you, but I think he overestimated." Another twitch, eyes sharpening, but the older wildling made no move. "What a disgrace." Esper looked at Jakys. "And you entered a union with her? Must be desperate."
