Surprise, Surprii-iiise...

Riot mentioned having to catch up and Kai gave a slight shrug of amaranth shoulders. "Family, Sidi, allies... they're all filtering in here and there. You aren't the first and you won't be the last." Everyone would have to catch up in some ways, but, in the end, they were a unit. They were The Syndicate. It didn't matter when someone came into the fold as long as they all fought for one another.

A moment later, Sephiran was there. Already she could tell that he was puffed up, trying to impress upon her tiny sister that he was in charge here. Yeah, yeah... they all knew it. Wasn't Uncle Rhaz trying to teach the guy to loosen up? Bloody hell...

Sephiran spoke her name in greeting and Kaino grinned, puff-tail wagging cutely. She stepped aside and allowed Riot and Sephiran to speak. This was their deal, after all. Kaino had simply played the part of huntress.
