Once upon a time this was home

Mojito had made sure his family knew where he was going, had taken special care to make sure Asla knew as well. He wasn't taking any chances. Mojito didn't know who was even in charge of Armada anymore and he wasn't exactly keen on anyone who'd sign off on that ego tripping overly aggressive bastard even if he wasn't in charge anymore. He still had some respect for Sirius but it was diminished, as far as Mojito was concerned he was a poor judge of character in any case except Azure staging a hostile take over. If that was who he let be in charge he'd had too much faith in a man with not enough self control. But they were still the only place he knew for sure would have the tools he needed. He hadn't brought much with him when he'd left, already chasing the heels of his daughter and friend he'd travelled light. Now he needed to replace them. He was also a member of a supposedly allied pack. Not that Mojito had every found allegiance or supposed loyalty to apply to him. No, it never applied to him. Klein name, loyal Armada member for years. Never mattered. He didn't count. Still he'd finally taken the plunge.

He'd had no intention of bringing any of his children along. Unfortunately they seemed to have minds of their own. By the time he'd been alerted to his daughter it would have only wasted the day to take her back himself and he wasn't keen on arriving on what we're, last he'd been there, hostile doorsteps without his companion. So he'd grudging agreed to bring her with him, though he made her agree to stay close and had gotten Hoa's vow he'd rush her home at the first sign of another attack.

Luckily his arrival this time was less hostile than his last, they'd been led in by a patrol and true to her nature Tsuki bounced away the moment something caught her eye. Rolling his eyes at Hoa the sheep went after her, here at least was supposed to be neutral ground and with Hoa watching her she would be as safe as she could be. Mojito for his part had work to do, even if he would have rather done it anywhere else... Okay not anywhere. Here was at least somewhat better than Ashen but jumping over a bar is a lot less impressive when it's on the ground. Sighing Mojito meandered the market stalls, mentally reminding himself of what he needed

"Speech!"
