(No. Just the twins.)
Damian laughed, "I was wondering how long it'd take you to notice me…." he said, forcing himself to stop laughing, "My name's Damian, I'm Firiko's older cousin."
"Oh….." Tobias said, letting himself calm down. "Well, it's… Nice to meet you….." I don't understand why he went through the trouble just to come and…. I don't even know why he's here….
Megan rolled her eyes. Holy cow… I don't know what to do with any of these people…. She thought jokingly, following where Tobias had gone.
When she arrived, she saw a strange man, and she went a tad crazy. "Stay away from my brother!" She barked.
"Megan!!" Tobias cried, "He's just a friend! Don't worry! He's just Firiko's cousin…."
Megan relaxed, but she didn't take her watchful eye off Damian.
Damian laughed again, "Don't worry, I know I look a bit threatening." He said, "I actually try to… and don't mind me I was just coming in from patrol"
Just then Firiko came in, "hey Damian," he said, before doing a double take when he saw Megan and Tobias' faces, "Did you scare them?!"
"Well…." Tobias began shyly, "His presence just… Surprised me. I just didn't know he was there… And… Megan thought he was going to harm me…."
She frowned sheepishly. "It's true…. It's just a city instinct… If you see your friend with any stranger, you have no idea what their intentions are…. Even if they look nice…"
Damian sighed, "Usually I try not to look nice"
"Oh shut up. What have we told you about sneaking up on people!" said Firiko, "He's harmless, he'd never hurt anyone."
"Firiko I'm a nightshade! Nightshade are known for hurting people!!" Protested Damian,
"And you're a softie" said Firiko flatly, "A big, fat, golden hearted, SOFTIE"
Tobias winced and furrowed his brow.
Megan shrugged. "But now we know that you won't hurt anyone, so we're all good here…." At least I hope, anyways….
"Alright!" Damian threw up his hands in surrender, "I'm not gonna hurt anyone. I only hurt people in self defense, which are usually my packmates, or people who intentionally hurt family."
Megan cocked her head. "Well that's not very nice of them…." Yet family and pack can possibly mean two totally separate things….
"You actually call those jerks packmates?" Said Firiko.
"Not like I have a choice!" said Damian, "I'd leave if I could, but no…. I had to be the pack royal!" His tone was sarcastic at that,
"That's rough" said Firiko, trying not to laugh.
Tobias felt awkward, and he just kept quiet.
"Well, alright then…." Megan said, a qirky itch settling in her neck. This is getting weird….
"Anyway…." Damian cut off Firiko's next comment, "Have you two been settled in yet?" his diplomatic side kicked in,
Firiko sighed, "I'm sorry about all the arguing, when you have a big family like ours it happens a lot…"
"Tornado told that to me earlier…." Megan said, regarding Firiko's comment. "And no, we haven't really settled anywhere…"
Tobias scuffed his shoe in the grass and turned back to watch the fish in the water. I guess I'm in for a long ride….
"I'm going to assume airhead here forgot about that part so Allow me to show you where you can settle in, and get clothes that are more suitible for the environment." said Damian, ignoring Firiko's smouldering glare.
"That sounds nice…." Tobias said quietly. They're just constantly finding ways to… Insult each other…. He frowned.
"Yeah," Megan agreed, nodding her head. "That would be nice. Although we've only been here for at least an hour or so…"
Damian nodded, leading them off into the forest, this time off the path.
Tobias and Megan followed along silently.
I wonder where… Um…. Luma and Tornado went…. He thought, twiddling his fingers and glancing back at the river. They were doing fine when I left, but where they ended up, who knows…
Firiko shifted to wolf form as they tromped through the trees, soon they let out into a calm clearing. There were a few other pups around, as well as a small group of she-wolves.
"Hullo Mom!" called Damian as they came through, "We have guests!"
Tobias and Megan arrived, and he immediately felt uncomfortable. Now I really feel like I shouldn't be here….
Megan gave a nice wave, as they began to turn their heads to look at them. They all seem… Nice….
The black she-wolf immediately got up, shifting to hug Damian before turning to Megan and Tobias, "Well now, it's a pleasure to have visitors again!" She said, "I'm Nightstorm, and those lovely dears are Firia, and Romero" The red furred she-wolf nodded, signifying that she was Firia, and the other turned out to be Romero.
The two of them waved. "Well, it's very nice to meet you, Nightstorm," Megan said happily. "I'm Megan, and this young one here is Tobias, my younger brother."
He glanced up at Nightstorm but didn't say anything.
Nightstorm smiled, "Good, lets get you two freshened up" she said, shadow warping back up to the cliffs.
(Wait huhhhhh????? Where are they all now????)
(Silver rock is a gigantic rock spire that reaches above the trees in the center of Silver valley, the east side of it is a series of clifftops, lined with natural caves, and pockets. They are currently on the east side of the spire, and Nightshade is on the cliffs that line the east side.)
(Ah okay :3)
Tobias stumbled a little when they suddenly warped, but was steadied by Megan's waist.
They were suddenly up high on a cliff, far away from the field they used to be in. "Wh-Where are we???" He asked nervously, glancing over at Nightstorm.
Damian warped up beside him, this time in wolf form, "On the spire kiddo!" he said, leaping up the cliffs.
Tobias watched Damian go up, and he glanced at Megan. Should I follow him?…. I mean I don't even know where he's going….
Damian shifted a few ledges up, and looked down on the lot, "Come on kiddo! you comin' or not?"
"And you and I will get you set up around here," said Nightstorm, taking Megan's hand and pulling her into a cavern, "Those clothes will not suit you in these forests" she said, rifling through a stack.
"I figured something as such…." Megan said, glancing down at her skinny jeans and tee shirt. Hopefully they have something much looser… Or whatever suits me….
Tobias grinned and began scaling the cliff, punching in small holes where he could put his hands and feet to climb up. I hope I'm not doing anything too troubling by doing this…
Damian watched him, nodding in approval, "Good to see you can adapt!" he said as he led the boy up one more ledge and into another cavern, there were a few stacks of clothes, one was messy, the other two were neat and tidy. "there should be something in that stack that'll suit you much better for this environment" he said, but don't disturb the one in the corner, that's for the twins, who have wings."
Tobias glanced at the messy and the neat stack, then looked back at Damian. "So what stack do you want me to take from?"
