Oh that was another bear and she was just confused. Well that’s okay it was better to be safe than dead. She had also gotten away from the spitting boiling water as well so Ida had gotten that point across.
Standing there under Aeor she smiled to herself deciding that Mr. Prettyface shall be her new favorite pet name for him. Ears perked as she looked at the strange bear again turning her head to the said to try to pick up all the words that were said. It was like she was speaking a completely different language but she understood some words. "Calysta Bear. This is my mate Aeor Prettyface Bear." She introduced teasing Aeor at the same time.
Being told that they were in a different world was a shock. Looking at her mate then at the other girl she blinked. "Good thing I grabbed all my things this morning that was a long walk. No wonder my paws are sleepy.” She joked about her tired paws trying to use humor to calm herself down.

He worked to keep his purr steady as they walked, looping his finned tail behind his friend to help guide her shaking legs forward. The beach looked a lot different now; it was clear that wolves lived there with how much debris had been swept away, and Delta was thankful for not having to fight his way through the sticks and ferns with his stumpy legs. He nearly didn't recognize where they were, but after a few hesitant twists and turns, he glimpsed the sight of a familiar rock wall peeking out between the palm trunks.
Delta slowly lead them there, risking glances back at Reed as he trilled understanding to her sad explanation. While he couldn't relate outright (what was wrong with fish and seaweed?), Snapdragon had taught him that wolves needed many strange things to survive. To be happy was another matter entirely, one Delta was slowly growing conflicted over as he reminisced back to his old home.
"Sh-hadows?" he asked, following the rock wall and giving curious sniffs to every nook and cranny. He flinched back as a bright green lizard scuttled out from one of the hollows he'd stuck his nose into, watching as it tore off from them and vanished around the bend. Delta followed it cautiously, whiskers raising as he rounded the chunk of stone and recognized a few of the funny, twisted trees. Yes, it was near here!
"W-hell...you didn-hot know," he consoled, giving her another soft bunt, "I am n-hot...um, I c-hannot lead. I can n-hot ima-gine it. S-ho y-hou are brave, Rheed. A-and y-hou are strong; they f-hollowed you, yes?"
He tried another small smile, the back of his head pressed against her so that he could look upside down and upwards at her face. It was only him tripping over a loose vine that made him break his gaze away, mrrping in surprise as he caught himself and paused to take another look around the rocks.
There! Someone had cleared the surrounding leaves, and from where they stood Delta could see the familiar crack in the stone. He nudged Reed forward with his tail, speeding his gait to a clumsy trot as he turned over thoughts of red meat and ore. He couldn't help with that, but...maybe Clover? He'd mentioned Reed to the older cat the last time they'd spoke, and he'd made reference to taking a trade caravan this way if all went well. That had been weeks ago now, he realized with a pang of guilt, but perhaps that was a good thing? He could be arriving soon!
He'd mention it to her, he decided. Though first...
"Ah...d-ho you...do your f-hriends h-have water...fresh water, here?" he asked, and pulled away to step inside and sniff about the hollow. It thankfully didn't seem that anything had taken claim to it, so he busied himself swiping his fins and paws across the sand to clear off a suitable space for his friend to lie. Water, then fish, then Clover.

Angror made certain that the carcass and other dishes were placed in the most ideal locations for everyone to enjoy. The carcass off to the side to assist everyone interested in preparing the meal. Only then, would the Allvaldr find himself climbing out of the harness that was attached to his body. “Theo, would you like to go and accompany Chester and Enya? You could try some new foods!” He offered the child a chance to go and meet others, and not cling to his side. Though, he wouldn’t mind either if he decided to stay.
“Thank you, Enya and Chester for your assistance.” He nodded his head to the two of them, both completely free to go have their fun as well.
With his attention now back on Clover, his gaze now shifted to the mammoth. ”In my experience, the best choices of meet come from the belly, the legs and the trunk of these creatures. The truck is especially rich with muscle so it’s a good choice of protein.”

“Round two Urna!” Angror shouted as he continued to rush her down, and he was charging in hot and quick. Guttural growls rumbling from his throat as he got closer. The tentacle that launched the rock forward? It wouldn’t stop him, not truly. From their last encounter Angror learned quickly that he can not, be forced into the defensive again.
So when the rock came flying towards him, he was quick to dodge, slipping underneath it so that he could reach his target. An unusual grin on his face as a raised paw cocked back. And with the momentum from his charge and the power in those arms of his, those unsheathed claws were coming down, and fast.

Inan Trahern
He waited to see if there would be any other words from her, any other questions. However, she remained silent. There was only moment when she had paused for a second and he did his best to make his slow down to wait for her as inconspicuous as possible. It was a lot for her to take in but she seemed resilient enough. She would handle it and adjust. She had to. For now he just continued leading them back home to find her somewhere she could dry off and rest.

The Princess glided through the tall, whispering pines. Her wings were silent besides the occasional flaps she made to keep herself aloft. The winds were strong this evening, tugging and pulling the tall pines to bend them over. Ravna used the wind currents that flowed beneath the limbs of the trees to fly low and quiet. She would have liked to have flown above the tops, but it was dangerous. She'd tested them and the currents were unpredictable, swirling and twisting high above.
Ravna could feel the danger in the air. The afternoon had brought in dark clouds, yet no rain had fell from them. Now that the sun had set, the winds were growing stronger, promising a threat. She didn't know what the threat was. Ravna's kingdom had been northern, often dealing with blizzards over wind storms. That didn't mean she was going to ignore it. Already she was looking for a place to bunk down.
Gods, she missed her home so much.

Ravna didn't know what a red currant was either. She just knew they tasted delicious and that they were always served at about this time of year. Ravna didn't necessarily have manual labor skills but she was a listener, always sneaking through the hidden passages to eavesdrop on the latest gossip. Her father loved to hear the stories she told during bedtime. She felt another wave of homesickness overcome her as Inan responded to her 'are we there yet' question.
Ravna paused in her step for but a moment, turned to look back over her shoulder, then turned her gaze to the sky. Rain continued to fall, smacking her in the face. She blinked the rain away as she said another silent prayer to her gods. She would return home some day, she vowed. Until then, she'd learn. She'd integrate and decipher the politics of this region. It would be hard, she knew, but that came with the territory of being a Royal. 'Trust only yourself' her father had warned her. 'Your mind will not lie to you like the heart does.'
Her father's words weighed on her as she resumed her steps, catching up to Inan's pace once more, her paws already sore and aching. She was sure she would have blisters by the time they got there.

Immediately, and without hesitation, Cittagazze corrected Ravna's tone. The correction was harsh, like the wolf had gone and snapped her muzzle, to Ravna, someone who'd never been corrected a day in her life. It made Ravna force her gaze downwards, her body instinctively sinking lower. What?... Ravna didn't have time to figure out what just happened before Citty was asking her questions she didn't have the answer to. Skills? The Familia? What was a 'familia'? Inan hadn't filled her in on that.
"I... I don't know." she whimpered out, her mind racing for a response. She pushed herself out of her submissive response, her thoughts still reeling at her body's reaction. "He attacked me, told me it was dangerous to keep screaming for help, and then said it would be safer here since I didn't know where I was. He told me he'll teach me how to smith." The moment the words left her muzzle, she regretted them. It would mean she'd lock herself into learning a skill she had absolutely no interest in learning. "I have an eye for fine things." she quickly spoke. Was that enough skills to server the 'familia'?
She pulled her gaze up to meet Citty's, like she was used to. Her father had impressed the importance of maintaining eye contact when speaking to someone. "What, uh, is 'familia' anyways?"
"The throne is gone. The heir remains."
CAPTAIN

While her partner moved with the fluid gait of a perfected predator, Reed was the opposite. Her gait was strong and stiff, very much the 'move aside or I'll move you' walk. There was nothing graceful about the wolf now, a striking contrast to the wolf who'd been fluid on the dance floor. The patrons cleared them a path and she, too, settled at the bar, leaning sideways with her shoulder to the bar to keep her steady. The bartender slid the drink towards her and with practice, the cup continued to slide off the edge of the bar, then floated up and towards her muzzle to take a long lap. Her face twisted at the burn, and then she took a second gulp. The cup resettled onto the bar top. "I think you already are." she commented, her eyes glancing around as others took interest in the hyena, watching from afar. They'd seen her out on the dance floor.
Reed smiled at Shego's comment, but not for the reason the hyena would probably think. She couldn't possibly know the weight that the Captain carried. She didn't want to sour the mood, so she opted to stick with the smile, at least, until Shego lowered her voice, pulling Reed in closer. Her ears twitched at the way her name was spoken, the smile growing as Shego requested to know more.
Reed leaned back, not bothering to keep her voice low. Intimate, quite conversation wasn't her style. "You needn't whisper to ask me my story, Siren." The nickname was sticking, and she wondered if Shego would correct her or let it go. She seemed to have liked it earlier. "I'm from a place called Casfura, a well-known pirate town. I've been through a war, seen the bottom of Davy Jones's locker, and sailed through more storms than you got teeth." She paused dramatically, "Unless, you mean where I'm from here." She lifted a paw to motion towards the longship anchored in the river, just visible through the open tent flaps. "You're lookin' at the Captain of the Saltfangs. We're just south of here."

Her friend's smile vanished from his small face and Reed's heart sunk with it. It caused the disappointment within herself to surface once more, making her avert her gaze downwards. He sniffed at her, something she didn't bother to react to. Then the question came. The question she wasn't sure how to answer without sounding defensive. So, instead of answering, she remained quiet, hoping that he wouldn't press her for an answer. He bumped his head against her leg and she shifted her gaze to the side, watching out of the corner of her eye at the strange action that, for some reason, made her feel just a little bit better. Or... was it the weird noise the creature was making, like a bug, but different. He tried to reassure her with his words, but Reed disagreed with them so it was hard to take them to heart.
He'd pulled away from her as she shook herself and shared with her that something had happened. It took her a moment to process what that meant, too long, and by the time she realized that it meant something bad had happened, as indicated by his body language, he was urging her along. She met his sad gaze and knew in that moment that both Tyr and Mar had guided the two of them together, combining land and sea once more. She obeyed her friend and moved towards the same spot they'd sheltered the storm before to shelter a storm of different sorts once more.
"I didn't know they were there. The faction can't be livin' on fish an' seaweed. We need ores and red meat. I didn't know, and when I did, I didn't call it off. They found me, an' I asked 'em to leave me be, but they didn't and then I got scared cause there were two of 'em, and they surrounded me with shadows, so I... I fought back." She shared with Delta as they walked slowly.
