Dissent V.2 (Private rp)

[ty_tay]

Nianna narrowed her eyes at the approaching sounds.

Lucia gently pet Diebin. She clutched a hand to her chest as Wolf let go and drew his bow, just in case.

Dagan whimpered and burried his face in Kaltens shoulder, closing his eyes tightly.

Sigurn slowed as he approched the spot where the other group was waiting. He had left the giant sword in the lizard and so he approached unarmed. He smiled non-threatingly at the women, and those with them. "Please, relax yourselves friends. I assume you are the rest of the group to come with Cassaria?"

Cass chuckled. "You dont know the half of it..." She headed back towards the others as the escorts cleared the gore away, and collected what they could use.

Bear kept his distance from Sigurn and the other Lorren's. His eyes never left Cass's father as he darted away.

[ScarletFang]

Rin stared wide eyed at the giant as he approached them, unsure on what to say or do, until he mentioned Cass and she relaxed slightly. "Yes sir we're with Cass. We heard fighting up ahead and half of us went to check it out, is everything alright"? She looked past him for any sign of the others.

Liam sat quietly in Rins arms having calmed down conciderably as she did. He watched the man with curious eyes as he clutched his mother's shirt.

Nivallia shook out her rune strips as if to put them out again and she fastened them to her belt with a raised brow to the man that towered over them all, "God's above you're huge".

Diebin barked out a squeak and sniffed at the strange man as his scent carried down wind.

Kalten didn't relax in the slightest. He eyed the stranger with an unreadable expression as he turned to shield Dagan protectively. He still pinched the blade in his fingers, ready for anything and everything with a dark aura.

"Oh cous I don sher I onlay a quartah his size"! Crucivander laughed heartily before following the ambassador back to the others.

[ty_tay]

Sigurn smiled warmly. "Aye, everything is fine now. We were attacked by some pesky scalies, but nothing serious." He chuckled slightly at Nivallia's observation. "Thank you miss..." He glanced to the group. "I did not expect for there to be infants and children among your group. I do hope that there isnt a bad reason for that..."

Wolf growled slightly, his bow still trained on Sigurn.

Dagan remained as he was.

Cass laughed lightly. She came up behind her father, and leaned slightly on him as she stepped beside him. "You're going to scare people by doing that."

Pallon walked passed the Lorren to Rin and Liam. "Wolf relax, he's Cass's father."

Bear slunk past cass, towards his sons. His expression dark and one of anguish.

[ScarletFang]

Rin heaved a heavy sigh as Pallon came into view and she looked him over with a devious grin, "Another good thing about the wardrobe change is you can't hide any injury. Two arms, two legs, all the fingers and toes, plus two devilishly handsome eyes and you've passed for being unharmed". She gave him a kiss on the cheek then whispered, "What're scalies"?

Liam smiled happily at the return of his father and reached for him with joyful gurgles and cooes.

Nivallia nodded without taking her eyes off the man, "Anytime, and it's Nivallia". She flicked her gaze to Cass, "Yeah tell me about it, I almost torched him".

Crucivander came to a stop beside his sister with a pleasantly bewildered grin, "Dis place is crazee Nivi... I liek it".

Kalten finally relaxed as he spotted his father, sheathing his dagger and turning to face him again. "Dag, look who's back! Didn't I tell you he'd be back for us"? He ruffled the infants hair, trying to make him calm as well. He frowned slightly at his father but didn't say a word as he approached.

[ty_tay]

Pallon rolled his eyes slightly with a chuckle. He purred and then gave Liam his hands. His eyes met Rin's and showed the concern that his smiling face his. "Lizards... That's also why I think you should keep a hold on Liam."

Sigurn chuckled, and motioned for the group to follow. "Come friends. We have a ways to go, and I'm certain you would like to see where you'll be staying. If I failed to introduce myself, I am Sigurn. Cass-" He cut off for a moment as Gransi landed on his shoulder. He chuckled and stroked the bird who settled in happily. "Cass is my daughter, and heir to my place on the council."

Cass shook her head at her father and smiled at Nivallia "He gets into trouble that way."

Dagan shifted and looked at his father. He reached with one hand while the other still clung to Kalten.

Bear's expression sftened some, and he let Dagan grab his fingurs. "Hold on to him for a while longer, Kal. We've got lizards running around..." His gaze turned stoney as it flicked to Sigurn. "How's your first impression of Cass's father?"

[ScarletFang]

Rin became pale and she shifted Liam to her other arm, not getting in the way of the infant as he played with his father's hands. "Lizards..." she whispered breathlessly before her brows knitted together with strong determination and she nodded stiffly, "Aye commander".

"Most men do" Nivallia smirked and elbowed her brother who grinned stupidly in return.

Kalten froze and blinked at his father in disbelief, "Lizards? Like scent of death, rip you apart with poisoned fangs lizards"? He choked back a growl as he hugged his brother to his chest, "Can do". He watched the Lorren coucilman for a moment before responding with a shrug, "He's big, apparently a lot more friendly than anyone else here, and has lots of energy, other than that I can't say more without getting to know him".

[ty_tay]

Pallon gave Rin a kiss and then kissed Liams cheek. "Come on, we dont want to get left behind.." He ushered the two forward as the others began to move off. "I believe we'll be well protected though... Wait till you see the sword Sigurn used on the beasts. Nearly cleaved the head right off of one going after a mage."

Cass smiled and followed her father. She murmured to Ryelin as they walked.

Bear nodded. "Good, thank you Kalten. I trust you more with him right now than I trust myself." He glanced to the large man as they began to walk. "Hmmm, well see. He may be wearing a mask."

[ScarletFang]

Rin made a face as if she didn't quite believe what Pallon was saying, but she still held a smile, "I'll be more impressed when I see him actually use it". She purred as she willingly followed her husband with Liam in tow.

Crucivander and Nivallia both followed on command. The sister on high alert for 'scalies' and the brother still somewhat gawking at the size of Sigurn compared to his companions.

Kalten wore a stony expression as he followed his father, "If he is, it's a d*** good one". He glanced up at Bear with a look, before flicking his gaze to Sigurn and back as if comparing their features, "How was the fight"?

[ty_tay]

Pallon chuckled slightly. "let's hope you don't have to see that."

Bear nodded with a slight grunt. "never underestimate your opponent, remember?" He was silent for a moment. "we weren't needed. Sigurn and the other escorts had it handled when we got there..."

When the group stepped out to the stream one of the escorts was lifting a beast onto his shoulder. Others having been stripped of fur and scales were being burned by the mage. Sigurn hefted his sword and attached it to a harness that he slung over his shoulder.

[ScarletFang]

The hair in the back of Rin's neck stood on end at the sight of so many dead lizards. A deep snarl was building in her chest and she tried to distract herself and Liam from the scene by humming a lullaby.

Liam sneezed from the stench that hung over the riverbed but otherwise stayed focused on his mother as the song she hummed lulled him into a state of bliss.

"Of course I remember" Kalten replied almost haughtily, "And that's good I guess, but not what I meant". He gave Bear a pleading look and motioned to Sigurn as if to try and assess his father's overall mood.
