With all the crap going on with the latest volcanic activity, Ares decided to stretch his legs and get away from all the stress at home. Well...from the temporary home until they're actual home stopped burning. That thought left a bitter taste in his mouth and he frowned. He had seen how distraught and stressed his father was, how the pack seemed panicked. Kids were missing and so was his sister. He raised his head and looked over his shoulder for a moment, almost as if he would see her if he hoped enough. He and Lyra were always so independent, but he couldn't help but worry for once how she was doing. She was always in and out of his life that he should have been used to her constant absence by now, but...he doubted he was. He wasn't quite sure where he was but he didn't care at the moment. He was angry, upset...he didn't have a destination in mind so he just kept walking until he decided it was time to go home.
Célestin kept himself busy when Memento wasn't around, mostly when she was sleeping at her mother's side. He'd started to put up some basic scent markers, warnings that the area around the den was protected. By him. He'd been doing his best to cover the signs of the den and reinforce the entrance as best he could while still making it easily usable for the occupants. When he wasn't actively guarding the den he was off hunting for the women who'd become his whole life. But at the moment he was laying guard outside the den entrance, he lay on the ground, head tipped back and he tried his best to bask in the cold sun. His body told him it was spring but it seemed the lands down past the land bridge operated in opposition to the northern part of the land. Or maybe the volcano was simply messing with everything. The scent of a stranger reached him and slowly he opened dual-toned eyes. He scanned for the intruder, spotting the dark nebula marked man sauntering towards the hidden den he guarded. Célestin groaned, and rose to his paws, he stretched out his limbs and then started towards the stranger. He stopped a safe distance away from the man and huffed a barking greeting. "Greetings." He said, his voice not unfriendly but there was an edge there. The den was quite a few feet behind him now, more than enough that it should be undisturbed in the event of a fight but that didn't mean he didn't wish there was more distance still between it and this starry marked man. "I suggest you stop where you are friend."

He looked him up and down with a smirk, eyes wandering to find the den several feet behind the guy. Was he guarding something? Treasure perhaps? Or just his own hole in the ground? He noticed the smell of boundary lingering in the air and his gaze turned back to him. "Well lookit that...a loner thinkin' he can claim whatever land he wants eh? What're you hidin' in that hole of yours? Treasure? Food? Something my pack could use I'm sure." He wasn't above stealing from this guy if he did have something valuable. He had been getting increasingly frustrated and antsy since this whole volcano business went down. It wasn't the first time he was intentionally trying to pick a fight.

There was hope.
Meme darted away from her side before Philly could register she was awake and was shouting at the stranger. Her daughter, quick to defend their family, was puffed up like an angry cat at the mouth of the den. Something flared in Philly then. Despite knowing Cel was there a fire ignited within her and roared to life as she shot to the mouth of the den and moved Meme back. She planted herself between the opening and her surviving child as her eyes narrowed. Her lips peeled back to reveal her fangs, slightly parted, and a deep guttural growl bubbled up in her chest; a warning that if the male dared try and slip past Cel she wasn’t going to hold back in making him regret even coming to the falls that day.

Célestin felt his guard rise as the star marked man teased him, there was aggression there he didn't like. He wasn't particularly bothered by the comment about his gender or was it his sexuality? Célestin was comfortable in who he was, some stranger who was just as fantastical as he was hardly had any real room to comment as far as he was aware, he snorted and felt his lips pull into a tight smile. "That's the best you can come up with? What you afraid I might make a move on you? Or are you afraid you might like it?" If he'd learned anything from his time with Pegasus it was that other males seemed so much more afraid of affections from other males. Their masculinity couldn't handle it. But the starred man was focused on the den and as he spoke Célestin felt his hackles raise, he bent his knees and narrowed his eyes, ears pulling back against his skull. His tail swung out behind him, laying even with his spine. Then the worst happened. His daughter's voice sounded behind him, goading the stranger on. Then he could hear Philomena behind him, growling as she guarded their daughter. That was all he needed. Célestin charged the man, hoping to dash into his personal space before he had time to react. Célestin lowered his head, ducking it both to cover her vulnerable throat but also to allow him to tuck into the man's chest if he'd get that far. Célestin would try to slam on the breaks as soon as he got close and use his momentum to pivot on his left paw and slam his right shoulder into the other man's chest.

Ares jumped back, feeling the male brush against him as he just barely missed him. "I said you could keep the kid! I ain't interested in taking the runt home!" Whether they heard him or not, he knew he'd have to fight regardless.
Coiling his hind legs, he launched forward and aimed to close the distance and slam his chest into the other male with the effort of unbalancing him and potentially knocking him over. Only, he didn't want to quite knock him over, either. His paw shot out to hook around whatever other paw he could reach so that he could hopefully unbalance him some more. As he tried to do this, he opened his jaws and aimed to grab the base of Celestin's skull from the back to gain control.

Célestin didn't really hear the starry male anymore, his blood pumping in his ears as he tried to collide with the stranger, feeling the man's body so close before there was open-air between them again. The starry man back peddling to get away from his collision. Célestin quickly braced himself, tucking his head further and taking the other man's collision, grunting against the pain and wobbling on his paws slightly and feeling the other man's paw hooking around his right foreleg. However, the attempt to grab the base of his skull would be thwarted by Célestin lowering his head even further. Using that as a wind up to jerk his head upwards violently, trying to slam his cranium into the male above him, hoping to hit his throat or lower jaw. Célestin tried to keep that momentum going, raising onto his hind paws before allowing gravity to pull him back down, forelegs extending to try and slam his weight down on the starry man while hooking his forepaws around him and get his opponent under himself.
