Dissent V.2 (Private rp)

[ty_tay]

Ryelin twitched and rubbed his cheek as if sympathizing for the man.

Pallon winced at the sound of the slap and shifted slightly.

Bear showed no sympathy in the man as he looked at his sister. "I asked why the rest of the escorts were. You had said they'd be waiting outside, yet they are not here..."

Cass glanced back to the warrior as he say up cupping his bleeding cheek. "that I do not know. Perhaps they were called away..."

The warrior didn't stand and he kept his eyes from meeting the womans that had overpowered him. He mumbled in lorren what was apparently an apology to bear, which went clearly ignored.

Rin traced her own cheek where she saw the gashes on the man's flesh and smiled, "D*** Cass, where the h*** did that energy come from"? She grinned from ear to ear as the warrior mumbled then glanced back to Bear and his sister, "Question is why would they be"?

Kalten came back to stand beside his father and grinned at the downed man before looking up at Bear, "Remind me never to p*** her off". He cradled Dagan gently and looked around to the others.

Nivallia was standing proudly with an evil little smirk as she watched everything transpire and nodded her approval at Cass.

Crucivander gawked slightly but returned to his normal happy-go-lucky self within seconds.

"my mother may have raised me to complacent, but my father did not." Cass replied to Rin with a sweet smile. "there are many possible answers, the only definite way is to find put for ourselves, and thus continue."

Pallon murmured. "there's something more to that statement but she's not saying."

Bear nodded to kalten, still obviously peeved at the warrior Cass attacked.

Dagan clung to his brothers shirt.

Lucia was now firmly hiding behind her father, peeking around at the 'giants' as wolf comforted her and nick tried not to look shocked.

Tovheir and Amelia had already moved on from the tension and seemed eager to move forward.

Mage watched in his normal silence, fussing with his choker and bandages.

Ryelin and taivil watched Cass carefully, and Nianna calmed Kaisiin again.

[ScarletFang]

Rin nodded and eagerly returned Cass's smile before turning to follow Tohveir and Amelia. "Aye love, I have a feeling you're right" she whispered back to Pallon, her smile waning slightly. She smoothed back Liam's red hair and chuckled as he hugged her hand, allowing her to rest her hand on his cheek.

Kalten shifted Dagan in his hold and rubbed his back as he hugged him to his shoulder, talking to him in a soothing tone, "Papa would've totally kicked his butt, yeah? But auntie Cass is a hard cookie too, oh yes she is". The boy lifted his sights to gaze at his friend and walked over to her, "It's ok Lucia, no harm done... to anyone too important". He shot a glare to the warrior again.

Crucivander hooked his arm though Nivallia's and lead his sister behind the others. He replayed the scene in his head over and over again and chuckled harder each time. His sister seemed utterly unamused and she watched the remaining escorts with a scowl.

[ty_tay]

Cass took the lead this time, making sure the warrior she'd attacked was at the back of the pack. The other warrior stuck by her side, never saying a word.

Bear glanced to Kalten as if trying to warn him to stop talking and pressed a finger to his lips. He subtly motioned to the shadows who were signaling him not to talk of their relations with Cass.

Dagan seemed to calm, and rested his head on Kaltens shoulder with a slight sigh.

Lucia nodded hesitantly, but still stayed near her father, finding comfort with him nearby and the others as well.

The warrior narrowed his gaze at Kalten as the group passed him again, but said nothing, and averted his eyes.

It was a short ways down the path when the sound of vicious fighting could be heard,.

[ScarletFang]

Rin caught the sudden sounds of struggle and her sight flicked here and there looking for the source of the noise, "Oh for gods sakes what now"? She looked up to Pallon then down to the now sleeping Liam in her arms.

Kalten ducked his head as if he had been cuffed and frowned slightly with a nod, having forgot that the connection between their families was nonexistent so long as they tread on Lorren land. He rested his cheek on Dagan's head and walked on in forlorn silence. He heard the sounds of fighting and was up and alert at the promise of discord, watching the adults carefully.

[ty_tay]

Pallon shared Rins look before looking forward to Cass and the other warrior. At Tovheir's instruction he prepaired himself for a fight, ready to lay down his life to protect Rin and Liam as much as it would hurt to be away from them. He gave commands to his boys who immediately followed.

Wolf took Lucia by the hand, and he and Nick moved towards Rin.

Taivil told Nianna to go to Rins side as Pallon left her to Join Tovheir, Bear, Amelia and Ryelin. Taivil followed with the small group prepaired for the worst.

Dagan whimpered and clutched at Kaltens shirt. With wide eyes he looked around ofr the source of the fighting.

Bear shot a glance towards Kalten, as if asking him to stay with the other group.

They emerged into a shallow stream bed where a vicious brawl was nearing its end. Several of the lizard beasts were torn to shreds. The group of lorren warriors viciously attacked the remaining creatures, that were quickly losing the battle, as one beast fell to the fires of a mage and the other lunged towards it's brothers conqourer. An inhuman snarl sounded as the largest of the present lorrens ripped a greatsword nearly as tall as he was from one felled foe and into the beast before it could attack the grinning mage. The man kicked away the beast with its dying breaths and turned twords the new comers with a warm, almost familiar smile. His hair was a dark brown, with oarngish streaks and greying. His eyes were bear-like. One a caramel brown and the other the same with a cut of dark, almost black, brown. His torso was covered in scars of his victories and failures.

[ScarletFang]

Rin watched as Pallon and the boys left with Tohveir. She felt her heart skip a beat and she refocused on Liam as he started to fuss from his father's absence. She cooed to him softly and gave the others a strong and reassuring smile, trying to think positively and keep everyone calm."I wonder what it is" she murmured to Nianna.

Kalten turned to go meet with the others and held onto his brother protectively. He slipped out one dagger from his belt and used his free arm to hug Dagan. He didn't like being left behind, but if it was for the sake of his brother he'd do anything.

Nivallia stood at attention with two runes in her hands as she scoured the jungles edges, ready to defend. She gave the girls a concerned glance before searching the foliage again.

Crucivander jogged to join the small band of defenders. He haulted behind them and sidestepped just in time to see the familiar man gore a lizard with his giant sword. He paled slightly at the number of beasts laying dead on the ground and blinked absently as the man smiled at them, "Who dah h*** is dat"?!

[ty_tay]

Nianna was gently rocking Kaisiin. "What ever it is, our boys can handle it. No worries there..." She looked up to Rin with a soft, reassuring smile. Her gaze broke as Degger whined at her heel, having been brought along as an extra protector for Kaisiin.

Lucia gently touched Kalten's shoulder, her other hand gripping her fathers. She watched the general direction of the noises. She murmured as the fighting seemed to stop.

Dagan, after watching Bear leave, buried his face in his brothers shirt with a whimper.

Not hearing, or possibly not seeing, Crucivander the man went towards Cass and wrapped her in a tight hug, which was returned with a happy grin. Upon releasing the girl he looked at the others gathered and grinned. "Welcome friends, I am Sigurn. My daughter has told me much of her adventures with you all in her letters..." A confused look crossed his gaze. "You appear to be missing some, my dear." He looked to his daughter.

Cass smoothed out her clothes and smiled. "We heard fighting and left them behind just a ways... Wait-" She sighed as her father quickly went down towards the path to find the others as if none of the gore had happened.

[ScarletFang]

Rin rocked slightly to set Liam at ease again, though he still whined every so often, threatening to cry if it weren't for his mother. She nodded with a hearty chuckle, "Aye no worries about that one bit". She flicked her gaze to the dying sounds of battle then became suspicious as everything went still. She could hear heavy footfalls up the path a ways, much heavier than any of their group, even Bear.

A squeak rang from Kalten's shoulder as Lucia put her hand on his and Diebin slithered out of the boys mess of hair to greet Dagan and Lucia. The tiny stoat licked Dagan's cheek and crawled along Lucia's arm to her shoulder with a chirp.

Kalten grinned at Lucia and held onto his brother a little tighter, "It's alright Dag, Papa will be right back don't worry". He rested his head atop the infants as he readied his dagger to throw, having picked up on the sound of racing feet.

Nivallia circled the group and her eyes became slits as the pounding steps became louder. She began to mutter under her breathe and the runes she held shimmered and sparked as if waiting to be used.

Crucivander gawked slightly at the carnage then watched as the man ran down the path in disbelief, "Dat big oh honkah jus tore up dem beasties buh God's almighdah he a pushover foh shoh when comes tah his babey doll"! He laughed uneasily and shook his head.
