Magnolia Glen rise and rise again

It seemed as though they would not be in need of protectors. Her mate's sibling had stepped up, though had been let down. He hadn't been here long...In fact, the woman was certain that she'd hardly shared any words with him at all. Inkheart and Zia would make excellent guardians, and she pondered Lucero's fate again. Phineas had suggested sending the pale woman over the mountain to Elettra. It was a good idea, of course, if the Ridge leader had time...And if Borlla would be willing to part with her friend for such a long time. But it would be in the pack's benefit in the long run. She gave a curt nod, bright eyes flashing thoughtfully, <b style="color:#32527a">"It would be in the pack's best interest if you had some formal training," Borlla agreed, if not somewhat reluctantly.

With that, Borlla fell silent again. Though it was not for lack of things to say. But she was far more interested in the new faces she had neglected to become acquainted with. Like the stranger that had arrived so quickly. Her jowls twitched as she caught him eying her son, the sort of look that she had dreaded to see. But she held herself in place, eyes only locking upon the strange man, narrowed in such a way that dared him to keep staring at her son. His first chance had simply ticked away, leaving him with one. Hopefully he'd use it well. Pulling her eyes away, she scanned the faces of those she knew again, letting her tail wag slowly upon the earth. They had a lot of work ahead of them with winter on the way, but rather than dread it, she could only look forward to the time she would be able to spend with them. <b style="color:#32527a">

Hypatia Argyris-Tainn

I am my brother's keeper

Sadly, Hypatia did not have anything to say. The girl was out of place here, in this world of ranks, and talk of other monsters. She was at the point where she wanted the assurance of her father, but could not force herself to get it. Instead she often found herself staring at that boy. Without knowing her look had softened, not in pity. Something more of kindness. Hypatia couldn't understand how it felt without mother or father. The very idea had her trying to think to mend what had happened that day. It dawned on her, it was not the boy's fault he was here, without a home. How terrible would that be? Was he lost in this meeting? Phineas was the only one who had reached out. Hyp's orange eyes looked to Kyros she wasn't sure if he liked the idea of Elliot. The girl frowned. It was a very kind thing for her father to bring him, and she wanted to believe that made him good. The noble hero.

Waiting, and waiting she listened to the talks exchange, perking up when Luce talked of healing. It interested Hypatia, but it sounded like she would have to get training? Deciding she would ask the white lady about it some time she had other ideas at the moment. When the meeting seemed to be over she made a choice. With a caress to her mother's chest, and a hesitant bump to her father's chin she approached the black pup with a wagging tail. "Hello, I'm Hypatia. That quiet wolf is my brother Kyros." Orange eyes would shift over, a grin when waiting for his reaction, before looking again to Elliot. "You want to go see our hide out?" Hoping this might really get her brother's attention, she did not wait, but began to lead the way. After all the grown ups were done, and their hiding spot was a nest of flowers, and brush near the den.

Still, even as the thoughts swirled through his mind, his negativity slipped away, replaced by unease as he caught the eye of Albireo. The way the other was staring at him was unnerving, and he found himself captivated in a horrified manner. His eyes narrowed as he stared back; what did he want? It wasn't to be revealed to him, for presumably Phineas' reaction to the man's open staring was enough to deter him from keeping it up. Kyros stopped paying attention anyway, as Hypatia had shifted alongside him and was making her way toward Elliot.

What? his heart leaped into his throat as she invited the boy into their secret hideout. No! But Kyros could not summon the courage to speak out against the invitation, and so he was helpless to his sister including the boy in their activities. Kyros didn't want Elliot in their hideout! Pretty soon, he was sure the boy would replace him, and if he didn't have their hideout then what did he have? He was resigned, though, because he could not will his tongue to move, and so he simply followed after his sister with his head lowered. If his cheeks could've burned with shame at every hopping half-step he took, he would've been redder than the ripest tomato.[/dohtml]

Thanos Argyris

He didn't feel a sting from the words his brother said. All he had to do was show the rest of the members what he could do. Prove himself to everyone and not just one. Nodding he turned and walked away. Maybe later he would go and talk to his brother. Ask more on the subject and see what all there was for him to do besides a Guardian. As it seemed two guardians was enough to have in one pack. One female guardian and one male guardian. Though it wasn't a surprise of the two who got it. They both seemed strong and loyal members.

With having nothing left to say he nodded a simple goodbye before turning to get to work. Maybe a couple rounds of border patrol and then a rest. Thanos hadn't had much sleep while he was in the Relic Lore. So certainly sleep was needed on his end. Walking through the trees and bushes he disappeared from the sight of the rest of the members he would call Family. Except for one of them who seemed rude staring at a child. Not knowing his name he had chosen to avoid him. As Than had no time for immature, rude, stuck-up wolf. As much as he hated to call someone such things he had to when it came to that male Thanos just felt sickened looking at him. Certainly somthing to warn his brother about, because if the rude male meant harm then he should perish from Magnolia Glen lands.
