~*~ "Wow," the old she-wolf drawled, as she hitched herself up the mountain. "That she-wolf must've hit you pretty hard on the hard, Gargie." Crusade gave one of her good-natured smirks and padded up to press her head into her brother's neck. Of course she knew that Gargoyle was far from going soft, but it was nice to hear him speak a little of his heart, even if he didn't change that deadpan face of his. "Creator Above, it's good to see you," she admitted. And even better to see him in one piece. Mercianne and Awaken had done their jobs quite well. And as for the place, well Crusade had been more or less around the world- She'd even crossed an ocean thanks to the two-leggeds that had nearly killed her. She could get used to a new place. And frankly the more temperate climate at the mountain's roots was just what the medic ordered for her old bones. She hadn't said anything, but the cold sap had begun to get to her. Quietly she'd begun to realize that she wouldn't last another Arctic winter. She hadn't cared much, she'd lived plenty long and she'd rather die with her family than live long without them. But now, well now it seemed she could have her cake and eat it too. Despite all the upheaval she felt better than she had in a while. Almost as good as she had in Seracia when she'd helped take down that rogue bull. Maybe, just maybe, she still had a couple of years left in her. "Goodness knows we've had to move plenty of times before this, and all much farther too." She chuckled. "And though I was starting to like the idea of calling ourselves the- what was it? - 'Snow Rogues', I guess I could fly under the Tortugan flag for a while. Just so long as you're the one waving it." She leaned down to nuzzle the pups she'd brought along with her. Cross was at her side, and though he perked an ear at the mention of the name he'd come up with, he still wasn't anything. Poor dear. Hmmm. And Gargoyle hadn't been told about the Sixx ordeal yet had he? Crusade hated to spoil a good moment, but she knew Ithurial would be coming along soon. Best to tell him now. "Fact is Gargoyle, we need you. As soon as you'd left for the challenge... one of the rogues got in. That white one who Awaken calls 'Sixx'. Awaken killed him, Gargie, but not before he threatened Kairos and Cross, and-and blinded Ithurial. - The girls alright," she assured him quickly, aware that his first reaction could be severe, "She's healed amazingly, no doubt thanks to Mercianne. She'll be coming along shortly, I'm sure." With her remaining eye she cast her brother a sympathetic glance. She just had to tell him now. Last thing either of them would want was him making some sort of scene just when everyone needed stability. "That crazy new brave of yours, Awaken, has been caring for her, and Orica there wants desperately to help too." IS THE ONLY HOPE YOU'VE EVER KNOWN |
