Soliloquy still had no plan of action for how to get out of this mess, he didn't even have a plan for finding his children and getting them back with he and Isolde for that matter. He potentially had a little spy keeping an eye on them, though he hadn't yet seen Revenge to hear how the children were doing and instead would be left still feeling very frustrated, wandering the lands in hopes of his finding his nephew or better yet catching sight of the children himself though praying of course he didn't run into Valentine at any point on those missions. He had so far avoided the alpha since their fight and hoped that would at least continue. Revenge had suggested that he used his pent up frustration to hunt. There was another pleasurable activity that often proved to be a useful distraction as well for the man though even that hadn't entered his thoughts yet. Catching the scent of a female in heat was enough for the idea to be placed into his mind however and truth be told for a moment as he began to track down the woman, he revelled in the idea of impregnating a member of Valentine's pack, leaving behind more Destruction blood if that was what he was so obsessed with.

Summer brought about more than seasonal heat.. it brought her seasonal heat. She felt completely awful, she knew very well that every wolf in the pack knew it too, and that was the worst part. She just wanted to crawl in a whole and pretend she didn't exist. That was not feasible, as she still had to feed herself, even if she wished to fast the season away that wasn't how things worked. She waited until the cover of dark to leave the den, as her presence was incredibly obvious when most of the pack was up and about during the day. Though with Summer's heat blazing at their door she had no doubt there would be more than one other wolf who waited for the cool of night to do their hunting. She'd not ventured far from the new den she and Valen had found for her, stumbling across a prairie dog out much past their bedtime. She'd snatch up the unfortunate animal. She had no desire to go back to the den though, she'd been there all day so her paws would only carry her up the next knoll, a nice place to enjoy her meal and behold the mass that was the infinite sky above her. ""

The female would soon come into sight, the scent confirming it was indeed her. A rather pretty thing, unaware of her new company for a moment it seemed. Soliloquy wouldn't waste any time in ascending the knoll to join her at the top. He hadn't yet realised the potential risk in his plans, if he had perhaps he would have turned back already, left the poor girl in the peace she evidently wanted. But no, the prisoner just had to go and pester the princess. "What a nice night, it's a shame to spend it alone." Soliloquy didn't need to be alone of course, Isolde would be back at the den waiting for him to return. He wouldn't be out too late, knowing full well she had enough trouble sleeping without the children, adding worries that he'd gotten himself into trouble surely wouldn't bring any soothing thoughts to her at all. He doubted anything would happen here tonight anyway, he'd simply introduce himself as the charming man he typically tried to be.

Rhythm's elegeant form would be tossed lazily on the earth, her rear legs askew as she tried to comfort her angry body. Her font limbs holding the carcass of her prey. She would try to bite into it, the the footsteps of a larger wolf would catch her attention. She'd see him as he offered something of a greeting, and for a moment she could have sworn it was Valentine. Though the appearance of him was obviously anyone but. Still, she couldn't den the sickly sweetness of his words. The feelings his voice brought would cause the girl to tuck her tail closer to her tummy and her legs to recoil in more alert manner. She felt safe here in Imperium, but the way he looked at her didn't to anything to ease her already rampant woes. Dark ears would fall to her skull and she'd almost growl at him, but he kept his distance politely enough. "I though it was pleasant enough on my own." She'd answer with a dismissive nod, it wasn't anything pushy and he would obviously not be shoved away at the moment. But she did have dinner, and her already thin frame needed its nourishment. She knew how desirable she was right now, and that was what worried her. The terrible thoughts he brought up in her mind were not welcome in the least. ""

Soliloquy had of course learnt some of the problems a female in heat came with he hadn't ever encountered one quite as defensive as this woman however, immediately she was on edge by his presence, clearly tense and unhappy with him being there. He was no fool, he wouldn't stand too close though immediately got the impression that his little plan of spending time with this woman was going to be cut rapidly short. She would even curtly respond that she had been fine enjoying the night alone. "I'm sorry, I'm having trouble sleeping, had noticed someone else out and thought some company would be nice for a while." Soliloquy would admit his errors of course, he wasn't exactly a gentleman though he had some morals. He would be polite now, taking another couple of steps away from her, clearly acknowledging her need for personal space and trying to prove he meant no harm. " Let me start again. I am Soliloquy Destruction." He knew not whether Valentine had informed the entire pack of the new prisoners within Imperium, had no idea how Rhyhtm would react to hearing his name though introductions were polite, and he'd try to make some peace with the agitated girl.

She hadn't really meant to be rude, her agitated state would be blamed completely on her dreadful condition. If there were any way to stop from having to endure the torture it brought she would be the first to sign up. She still felt like she had little desire to procreate, and would have seriously thought about giving up the option if she didn't have to wear her badge of shame. She hated the way it made her feel so needy, how the simple presence of this man was enough to completely ruin her focus. Not that she didn't have full control over herself. He'd apologize though, and her blue and purple gaze would find its way back to his form as he stepped back a little more. He'd explained why he was out, and she really couldn't blame him if those were his true intentions. And really for all she knew they were. The girl would relax a bit more, but her ears would perk curiously at his name. "My name is Rhythm Destruction, I feel as though there is a relation." She'd answer back, she'd yet to really meet Revenge and Mercy and was unaware of their presence. ""

His polite manners would seem to work as he had intended, the woman even granting him an introduction of her own. It was quite the surprising revelation, he knew the family was large though what were the chances of meeting yet more Destructions hoarded away here in Imperium. Seriously, did Valentine plan on getting some big trophy cabinet, building a shrine to the family? Soliloquy's intentions would immediately be banished though, even if the relation between them was likely rather distant, he had never heard of her before after all. "I'm sure there is." He responded, the shock had been evident though he would banish the thoughts of Valentine from his mind for now, and instead concentrate upon whatever family gathering life here was turning out to be. Scorpion had educated him a little upon the family tree, he was fairly certain he could name his aunts and uncles though cousins and beyond were lost. "My father was Adrenaline, "

Valen hadn't made mention of his most recent captors, though the girl had gotten here after he'd claimed the range anyway. They were old news by now, that that she realized who he was in the pack. The further revelation that he was family would cause her to relax more, though her body was still unconvinced of the inappropriate nature of his suitor ship. She'd sit up more, leaving her meal to be forgotten for now. He was sure of their relation, his words reflecting as such as he offered her the name of his father. Not that she recognized it. Rhythm shook her head, "I don't recognize the name. But my mother was Lyric Destruction and my Grandmother was Novel Destruction." She didn't really know of any of Novel's brothers and sisters only her aunts and uncles were of knowledge to her. "I traveled to Alacrtia from Ahlon." She'd add, in case he'd heard of the old pack. ""

She was perfectly safe now, had nothing at all to fear from him. A more familiar Destruction may have faced a rant as Revenge had, though surprised to find a stranger Destruction here it would occupy his thoughts for now and his mood would temporarily be calmer because of it. There was no denying the scent was still rather alluring though he had self control too, and would do nothing but sit here until they were ready to return to their respective dens for the night. Too caught up in his own personal dramas, Soliloquy knew nothing of the chaos that had brought Rhythm to the lands. It was a story that would rival his own if only for a moment though it was unlikely they would reach such dark topics, he intended to steer clear of the topic concerning imprisonments and torn apart family. And the discussion would likely turn sour if he learnt this woman was here by choice and out of love or some soppy crap for the Destruction hoarding alpha. She would mention her own mother first, not a name that he would recall immediately though as she continued mentioning Novel and Ahlon he knew there was definitely a link between them. How his aunt had obtained a pack and his father had been stuck within the ridiculous Kingdom of Uroril Soliloquy would never understand though he wouldn't hold that fact against Rhythm. "Novel was his sister, so my Aunt I believe." He explained the link for her. Quite what it made him to Rhythm he couldn't be sure though it wasn't just a coincidence, they were relatives of some sort.

She couldn't know the fright that had just befallen her extended family because of her love interest, not that she had any reason to suspect him for the kidnapping. Or even any ill will that was brought towards them, Soliloquy's mood was so incredibly different now that he was occupied with her and not a more familiar face. Though it was likely if he had known her recent events he might not have been so polite. Not that she was very willing to spill her story and even more loathe to think of the after effects of her decision to stay here. She'd been crushed, and making her way back to normalcy was a greater challenge than she could have ever expected. As she uttered her mother's name no spark of recognition would come from the pale man, but as she went further into her lineage her recently deceased grandmother would be recalled. Soliloquy knew of her. Her grandmother and his father were born of the same parents, making the connection more complete. They were distant cousins, brought to Imperium in very different ways, but somehow they'd both gotten here. "Well, hello then cousin." She'd dip her head in a respectful greeting, much warmer than when he'd first shown up. She felt much more at ease and didn't feel an urge to bite the alabaster man. ""

How any of his relatives could stand Valentine was a mystery to Soliloquy. Revenge and Mercy had come and stayed here on their own will though and that fact would surely trouble him even more than knowing that this distant relative before him had feelings for the alpha and was here because of that fact. It wouldn't make him happy, but knowing the full story that one of his minions had challenged for her would certainly make him even more suspicious and disdainful of the man and his pack. "And hello to you too." Soliloquy would offer her another greeting in return. She certainly seemed a little more relaxed now and though this wasn't quite what he had originally hoped for he was still glad to help. She was still proving to be a distraction for him after all, and it was interesting to finally meet some wolves from the rest of the family. They were large, he had heard there were others, some even leading packs in this area. Why Scorpion had never ventured to one of them though Soliloquy wouldn't yet understand.

Solilqouy would be nothing but the picture of gentlemanliness, as any Destruction should be as she greeted him properly this time. Knowing she had more family out there was most certainly a comfort to the girl. She might have lost those closest to her but she would never really be away from those who shared the same blood of her veins. He would greet her and the small hint of a smile that played on her features would grow slightly, there was obviously no danger from entertaining the company of a long lost family member. She'd sigh softly, trying to relax herself and forget the woes that wanted to creep up on her dark form. She wanted to forget the black thoughts that stirred at the back of her mind. What she wished more than anything in the world was the ability to go and sneak into her sister's den again and enjoy the close comfort that she always brought her, but that was impossible. She didn't know what Bass might do to her if he found her in Abaven lands. He'd picked her up from the mud before he'd stormed off, was there hope that he still cared for her or would he hold no reservations and punish her like he might any trespasser? She'd physically shake her head of the thought before looking back to Sol. "It's not much, but if you want I don't mind sharing my meal." She'd offer as she revealed the rather large prairie dog in her paws. Really she just wanted to feel the comfort of another body close to her own. The loneliness she felt here was maddening. She still didn't feel close enough to Valentine to seek out his presence when she felt the most in need, but the desire to do so was even more tempting as her body begged to reproduce. ""

To be honest Soliloquy had assumed the only reason she was out this evening was the simple scene before him now. She was in heat and wanted to be alone, taking to hunting at night to hopefully avoid others, hence the original agitated greeting he had received. He was mistaken of course, there was more troubling her and the man would catch the shake of her head, frowning softly at the action. He hadn't said anything... "Are you alright?" Was there more to her seeking isolation? Was she suffering in some other way from being here in Imperium? He wouldn't take any guesses though he couldn't help his curiosity and just had to find out what the bigger problem was. It wasn't like him to care so openly for strangers of course, though she was family of some sort, perhaps the closest he had for now, a distraction from his trapped children and own imprisonment. She would offer him some of her food and now it was Soliloquy's turn to shake his head, however the reason perfectly clear in his case. As Rhythm had said herself there wasn't much. He may have been a prisoner though he was not a woman in heat and hunting at a reasonable time was far more practical for him.

Her bright blue and purple gaze would linger on Soliloquy as she rid herself of the thoughts of Bass and her home, though they wouldn't remain banished for long as Soliloquy found himself asking her if she was alright. She might have expected the question were it her litter mates she were talking to, but the surprise was evident even as he denied any of her meal. Her gaze would avert from him as she thought, wondering if she wanted to divulge her woes and the not so gentle tug on her broken heart she felt. The need to feel Motif at her side was real, and yet so impossible at the same time. She almost wanted to pretend he hadn't said anything or that she hadn't heard him, as well the truth had no desire to be uttered rom her lips as she felt the despair pour on her once more. Her bright eyes would wander over the knolls that stretched out before her before the emotions welled up and she had to release them. She'd pull her head back, not really caring or noticing Soliloquy's reaction to her odd actions as she let out a long and mournful howl. The obvious need in her voice echoed easily over the hills of the land as she called desperately for her sister, knowing that she would not hear or come. By the time she lowered her head tiny tears drops of diamond would fall from her eyes, she'd shake her head again as she looked back to her company. She wanted to be alright and content with what she'd been given, but the feeling of her heart being torn out was too much to ignore. She'd sniffle, "Sorry, I.. I'm not really alright but I'm pretending to be." the answer might not have been wahat he was expecting, but maybe it was. In either case she had no wish to divulge furtehr her troubles. Not unless he really wished to pull them from her. ""

In asking his question Soliloquy honestly hadn't anticipated the sudden swarm of emotions that would overcome Rhythm. Sure something had seemed a little off about her, though he had figured it'd be a relatively minor problem, one that she'd brush off as swiftly as she had initially tried to rid him from her evening. Instead however she would let out a mournful howl and start welling up. The actions leaving Soliloquy less than comfortable. Honestly if he had known that she would have responded so badly he wouldn't have asked at all. Something was bothering her but apparently she'd had it all under control until he opened his mouth. Now it was his turn to wish there was some way to pretend he hadn't heard anything. Emotions truly were not his strong point, certainly not in this tearful state anyway, anger he could have coped with. "Oh" Came his pathetic response. What else was there to say? He didn't have to ask her why she was feeling so bad now did he? She wanted to pretend she was ok, so couldn't he do the same?

Not that she had intended upon making their meeting so awkward but as her bright eyes found their way back to Soliloquy she knew that she had made him incredibly uncomfortable. Her cheeks would grow red as she slumped down a little, obviously a bit ashamed at her actions. He'd answer her words with a simple 'oh' and she really couldn't blame him. What else was he supposed to say? He barely even knew her and now she was throwing her baggage at him? She'd try to rekindle the small smile that had played on her features earlier but it was obviously a sad attempt. "yeah.." she'd answer back, losing his figure from her sights as she found herself staring at her paws and the meal beneath. She'd lost her appetite by now. Though she was thankful that he didn't press her any further, she'd gone as far as she wanted and now wished only to reel back in the raw emotion that had slipped from her tight control. ""

Rhythm would calm slightly a little embarrassed by her actions though it didn't do much to fix Soliloquy's awkward mood. The moment was still fresh after all and the pain and sadness still somewhat evident in Rhythm, all the more obvious after her little display of emotions. He was still a little curious about what on earth had caused her to react like that, though he wasn't going to dare open that can of worms, sitting in silence was likely to be the best option though to be honest even that was rather awkward now. "Well, I should probably get going." He began, glancing back to the dark coloured woman. "My, Isolde. She's probably waiting. I can walk you to your den first?" It suddenly occurred to him there as he pondered over what to call Isolde that he wasn't quite sure what she was to him officially. Girlfriend and anything like it was far too much for the commitment-phobic man. It seemed rude but he probably did need to get back to her really, the den was empty without the kids, she didn't need him wandering around all night.

The oddness of the silence that fell over them was all to obvious to her, and the relief she felt from his simple words was all too palpable. Her features would turn back, she didn't know who Isolde was, but figured he was someone important to him, her aloneness would become that much more real. She'd sigh, the walk to the den was short but she'd appreciate the company. "That would be really nice." She'd answer hims as she found her way to her paws, delicate features lifting into the cool night air as she shook her pelt out. The girl would spare once last glance at her prey. "You should take that back to her though, it's better than me leaving it." She'd mutter as her paws brought her closer to her newfound cousin. If he allowed she would lead them back to her den, which was only on the opposing side of the knoll. She'd manage an amused smile as she stopped at the entrance to say her farewells. "It was nice to meet you, Soliloquy." her soft voice sounded as she managed a real smile. ""

Rhythm didn't question who or what Isolde was and instead would take his rather rude decision to leave rather well. She would accept his offer though, a rather polite thing really and the least he could do though it wasn't exactly a very talkative short walk to her den, the main conversation simply on the matter of dinner. "You sure?" He questioned, even if she didn't want the food now surely she'd get hungry at some point. "Yeah, you too" He agreed with her sentiment. It certainly hadn't been what he was expecting for the evening, the brief emotional moment could have been done without as well though to meet more family in this stupid pack had been a pleasant surprise. "Good night" If she truly was certain about her kill, he would pick it up, to take it back to the den, otherwise he would simply depart with the brief goodbye.
