Dissent V.2 (Private rp)

[ty_tay]

Pallons back shivered in response and he purred, scoochong back so his back rested against rins.

The others had mostly turn to watch kalten as well.

Sigurn chuckled. "no worries Kalten. We shall teach you."

"you won't fight anyone more than two years older than yourself kal." Bear replied quickly, his tone implying that there would be no arguing that fact.

[ScarletFang]

Rin giggled and spoke softly to Liam before looking to Kalten as well. She chuckled at him but even she grew wary at Bears stirn demand.

Kalten opened his mouth to argue, but the feeling of all their eyes set on him only allowed for his breathe to escape as a sigh and he slouched, disheartened, "Fine...". He met everyone's gaze with a grin a few moments later and relaxed.

[ty_tay]

Ryelin chuckled. "look at it this way kalten. He still said you could fight."

Sigurn chuckled and shook his head.

Bear nodded once and his posture relaxed. He even smiled slightly

(Bloop! )

Rin exited the washroom silently, unsure if Pallon had risen yet that morning. She had to take an early morning shower seeing as though her stomach didn't agree with the amount of sweet fruit she ate the night before. She shook her head, whipping droplets of water in every direction before pulling her hair back into a neat braid. She crept over slowly to Liams hammock and peaked at the infant.

Liam was sleeping soundly on his back, his little fingers twitching and grabbing at imaginary things that taunted him in his dreams.

Crucivander was snoring loudly in his bed having stayed up until the wee hours of the morning with Rettika. He laughed in his sleep and whispered something in Dumerrin before rolling over and soaking his pillow with streaks of drool.

Nivallia was awake and had been for some time. She had tried to stay up to check in on her brothers health through the night but she eventually gave up and went to bed. She had had a nightmare a few hours after falling asleep and so send opted to stay awake until dawn. A knot was forming in the bottom of her stomach but she didnt know why.

Rettika had stayed up the entire night, finding the company all too entertaining and the fire too welcoming to abandon. She was meandering through the forest looking for fruits to accompany the morning meal.

Healia was skulking in the branches above Rettika, sniffing odd scents that were remnants of their owners last whereabouts. The end of her tail flicked and twitched excitedly. She had found a target nearby.

Kalten sat atop his neatly made bed, his legs folded and his eyes closed as he hummed low and methodically. He was meditating, figuring that after a few days of sleeping in he should at least try to stick to some sort of training. He took in a deep silent breathe of crisp morning air but otherwise never moved.

Diebin was curled into a tight ball infront of Kalten as he meditated. The stoat had made himself a shallow bed from turning up the covers around him. His tail covered his head and his tiny white paws hugged his black tail to keep it there.

Pallon was laying face down on the bed. He had moved since Rin had been up and now was facing the complete opposite way than when she had left, with his head at the foot of the bed and feet at the top. One arm hung off the bed.

Mage was under the same table he had been the night before. After the commotion he had rolled under and stayed there, sleeping.

Ryne on the other hand had fallen asleep on top of the table. He had stayed up as long as he could before he passed out and now snored lightly. Steve was curled up on his chest.

Cass and Ryelin had gone to bed not long after the whole commotion. Cass didnt sleep for long and spent most of the night sick with Ryelin uncertain of how to help her.

Bear and Sigurn had stayed up the entire night speaking of this and that, though Bear had seemed reluctant to say much. He had put Dagan to bed when Kalten went and returned to his conversation.

Dagan was still sound asleep in his crib, with his normal companion, Shiva, curled next to him.

Rin held in her laughter by biting her lip. She loved that man to no end and even in sleep he somehow managed to entertain her. She was utterly content and took the silent opportunity to reflect on her life as all people did in times of solitude.

Nivallia, having been fed up with the helplessness growing in her mind, got up from the bed and decided to wonder the halls until the others decided to start the day.

Rettika had collected a full basket of fresh fruits and headed back inside to prepare breakfast. She passed Ryne on her way in and poked his forehead, "Hey, Ryne wake up, I need help in the kitchen". Her foot brushed against something warm and she squeeked in surprise only to see she had accidentally kicked Mage, "Sorry".

Kalten was deep within his own thoughts as he meditated. The continuation of his assassins training, the eventual responsibility of Par Lor, his new family and the welfare of his brother all hung heavy on his mind. He sunk back onto his bed abruptly with a sigh.

[ty_tay]

Pallon mumbled in his sleep, his words being muffled in wants sounded like an animal.

Amelia was was walking down the hall towards Nivallia. Or at least trying to. She was attempting to get Xinca to walk with her, but the hound just flopped down on her side and stared at Amelia with a huff. "Oh you spoiled little s***!" Her voice was an angry whisper. "I dont know how he puts up with you."

Ryne jolted awake and was on his feet in a matter of seconds with a grin. "Id love to help!"

Mage let out a hiss and foul curse. He clutched the spot Rettika had hit.

"...the weight of the world may seem heavy to bare, but the joy you will find there has nothing to compare..." The voice rasped and whisered to Kalten though nothing moved.

[ScarletFang]

Rin smiled and couldn't resist the urge to tease her husband. She bent down beside his head and spoke in an almost inaudible whisper, "Sweet dreams of yarn and milk Ha'alin"?

Nivallia had one brow raised as she came to a halt a few feet away from the Queen and the hound, "Mornin' someone not a morning person"? She looked down at Xinca with an amused grin, "Something tells me she's thinking the same thing about you hun".

Rettika jumped slightly and was caught between sympathy and excitement as she stepped back. She stooped slightly and began to stumble over her words, "Sorry, sorry, sorry!!! Oh gawds did I hurt you?! Here lemme help"! She set the basket in Ryne's lap and seemed at a loss of what to do.

Kalten was up in an instant and beside Dagan's crib with stunning agility. He had brandished his eagle blade and scanned the room with his eyes and his extended senses, "Who's there"? His voice was deep in his attempt to be intimidating.

Diebin lifted his head, a bit irritated at having lost his source of heat. He barked and quickly scampered over to sit on Dagan's crib railing.

[ty_tay]

Pallons head turned slightly so he partially faced Rin. "No, nightmares of drowning in p*** after my heads been lobbed off by an axeman."

Amelia stood up straight and nudged Xinca with her foot, barely succedding in moving the still growing massive hound. "Not at all..." She sighed and folded her arms to face Nivallia. "I wouldnt doubt it..."

Ryne held on to the basket and cocked his head down to look at Mage.

Mage waved her off. "It's fine! I dont need help..." His good natured mood from last night had been replaced with his normal sour one.

The voice came again in nearly a deadpan monotone. "...We are here, but you do not see us... We make no sound, yet you hear us... We are present wherever you go... We are the shadows that are never owned..." As the words ended adhadow converged to take form and from it appeared a boy no older than Kalten. He crouched on the bed and seemed to be watching Kalten, though a tattered cloth covered his eyes. Whisps of white hair peeked from under the hooded black cloak he wore.

[ScarletFang]

Rin gave Pallon a flat look before cuffing him over the head and jumping onto the bed to sit crosslegged on his back, "If you're joking it's not funny". She drew little images and designs on his back with her finger before they traced his scars with a feather touch.

Nivallia chuckled and folded her arms, "Ever think of coming to an understanding? Better yet, bribery is always a great idea". She crouched to look at the large hound with a unimpressed huff.

Rettika shot her hands into the air submissively, "Ok, ok, jeez, I'm sorry, gah! Alright I'm going to cook breakfast, I'd suggest getting up before I do it again"! She zipped off into the kitchens, hailing Ryne as she disappeared behind the door.

Kalten, knowing the familiar chill and look of shadows that usually accompanied his father, was unusually perplexed at the sight of the boy on his bed. He cocked his head to the side slightly but didn't faulter, "What are you"? He slowly withdrew his blade, afraid some sort of quick action would scare the boy off, "Why did you show yourself? How did you know what I was thinking"? He appeared uneasy but still held his ground between the stranger and his brother.
