"I am in love with the word of death, and the being of it all" The beast was searching for the king, in such a matter was not as urgent, but was just as vexing if a fight were to break out. Ryouta did not want a fight, she just wanted to leave with her love, and whatever other bitch that Raven had taken to. The two of them had their reasons, under the name of Amenti their old queen was to blame for such behavior as this. It wasn't them to blame entirely though, it was the mentality of the lust of blood. Though when she went to approach the king, she came with good intentions. Apologies for her leaving, but half of her loyalty had been thwarted to other events such as this one. The beast was the same size as Syrinx, except she was not as thin, much more fluffy and muscle built. He was a honorable man, she knew that even through her thick of a skull. So as she searched for him in these caves, she would have to turn into a logical notion to speak to him. "Lord Syrinx?" Her voice was soft, coaxing. With her malice hidden deep down in her throat. As such a rare occurrence as it was, but it was a skill she needed. All the same as her intimidating insane manner. Raven and Arayne may have been close by, perhaps, she didn't care either way. This needed to go smoothly. As she knew Amenti was short on members, Syrinx and his children were strong. She hoped they would fair well. They also had Alena at that. Speech,

As they had decided prior, the ebony bitch would soon appear in the mouth of the caverns, her exotic, two toned optics glowing as she stood silhouetted by the light from behind. A grin split her lips as she padded to her beloved's side, floating effortlessly, soundlessly, over the bare stone floor, swaying side to side. The sultry shadow moved like a wraith amongst the sensual shadows, one with the darkness she loved so much. She stopped at the larger dame's side, nuzzling her eternal grinner's flank, due to the petite maiden's much shorter stature. She said not a word, deciding to leave her silver tongue out of this matter until it was called upon. All she was here for was comfort, to be by her mate's side in Ryu's time of need. Her long tail flicked to her lover's heels reassuringly, stroking down the length of her powerful legs to loan some of her own strength to the behemoth she held affections for. Speech,

Arayne could only sit on her ass and go woe-is-me for so long. Eventually, she had to do something else. Her thoughts drifted to the meeting Ryouta and Raven had gone to with Syrinx, and curiosity began to burn in her gut. Sure, Raven had threatened to turn her over to Syrinx should she act out, but she hadn't meant that. Had she? Eventually, the combined stress of winter's onset, her eviction, and subsequent forced adoption had gotten to her, and with a whine she stalked out of the cave, nose to the ground as she followed the scents the two had left behind. She would rather learn about the results of the meeting firsthand rather than wait and wait for the two to come back (Or worse, come back with Syrinx). She shifted to a mile-eating lope, following their scents and tracks across the snowy plain. When a stray whiff of old paint (Poor Salamander, the little fool would need to find somewhere else to experiment with his pigments) caught her attention, she changed her course to make a wide turn, intending to approach the caves from the side, where she could hopefully listen without being discovered. She slunk towards the opening of the cave, using the rocks and sparse vegetation as cover. Her coat stood out annoyingly in the snow, and so she contented herself with lying down in the shadow of a boulder, halfway covered by heather, and flattening herself to the ground while raising her ears to hear what words might be passed between the parties. She was against the side of the tunnel, so she couldn't see the front, but hopefully they couldn't see her either. And this time, she didn't step on any sticks. (Whether or not she's discovered is up to you all lol) "Speech"

What was this? He was summoned and so he came. the man was not one to idly sit by and waste time, and he was not one to feel good when loyalties were disbanded from him. A low growl would resonate in his throat as he arrived on his borders to see Ryouta standing near a rogue. Eyes would stare at the woman that was not his own and he would look at the resignation in her eyes and in her stance. Eyes would turn to Ryouta and his head would lower (dangerously) over his breast, "You sever loyalties to me and I'll only seek to tear your throat out in battle. Remember remaining in alliance to me is only going to benefit you later," The heathen hissed and stared at the black vagabond, "You could have made something of your life. You will only f a l l now," Table by Lu

Ryu kept herself civil, she being the same size as the beast, but more thick, was not intimidated by him. Seeing as he had the right to be angry, but she lowered her head, and flicked her ears listening to his voice. Logically raising herself, to stare at him, respectfully, but still standing her ground. "I'm not leaving because I distrust, or am too disloyal to you lord. Emotions have a benefit of the doubt when it comes to my love for this woman. I am not going to join an enemy to foolishly face you either. I am your friend, so call upon it be so if another pack were to be created to fit mine and my love's fancy if it was allied with you it'd be more the better if not I would not step paw in it." Her crystal eyes shined within the dim light. "Weather I fall or not is not of your jurisdiction. You are a strong man, I would have been glad to serve under you. Syrinx, I am not trying to make an enemy, I simply do not want to cause trouble where it is not needed. You would not be happy with my love just aimlessly around the caverns. So will you respectfully let me be?" Ryu watched him carefully, if he wanted to attack her, she would fight for her freedom all the same. However not intimidated, fighting skills could never just be judged by looks strictly. However she did not want to fight someone she dearly respected and would have followed if her heart hadn't been stolen. Speech,

Syrinx was not one to be intimidated by those smaller, larger, or even those that came in larger numbers. Here, standing at the borders, he was at a two to one deficit, and while most may have pulled back or turned from the danger that lingered in that--Syrinx merely reclined to his natural self where he was ornery and defiant of what someone else may have wanted or desired. Especially being that it was something wanted or desired of him. This girl sought her freedom--Syrinx only prayed that, for her sake, she were more careful about who she chose to ally herself with proceeding this very day. "then go," he would not idly remain and attempt to sway the decision of that which was already made. If her loyalty could not solely be given then he would not seek after it so vehemently. For that was a waste of his time he was not going to fuss over. Table by Lu

She watched the conversation between the two ensue, all the while a scent drove it's way into her nostrils. Arayne. She was here? No, she had strict orders to remain in the cave, and if she was not there when Ryu and the ebony bitch returned, there would be hell to pay. Watching the immense beast with a pelt of pure fire dismiss the pair grudgingly, the sultry shadow was curious to see what happened within the mind of the ocean eyed man as he did so. Was there anger? Or was it only the disgust and annoyance so plainly written upon his marred features? One could not discover it in the remaining time that the dark duo were welcome in these caverns. Nudging her beloved with her petite shoulder, the sensuous femme nodded her delicate cranium in the direction of the mouth and turned to leave. Tea cupped paws struck the bare stone soundlessly as the wraith floated from the darkness, hips swaying in a manner that was irresistible. She knew her eternal grinner would follow, those long legs of hers would bring her to the demoness' side in no time. Now, it was time to go home and let fate bring them to their next actions. -Exit Raven- Speech Thought Others
