The Warped

[Ares the Ram]

As Max picked him up, Macid whispered a thank you to him. As they followed the tiger and entered the house, he was carefully sat upon a table by order of a much younger tiger. As he began to mix things from his shelves, Macid was feeling uneasy from being treated like this. He never had any good relations with doctors and didn't like being treated with ancient medicine any better than modern medicine. "Now, this is going to be extremely painful. Your wound has too much filth within it, waiting so long." As Kiral unwrapped the wound and the goo placed upon it, a pain similar to taking a white hot corkscrew and running it through his arm shot throughout his entire body, causing him to scream loudly in agony. This, combined with the rest of his ordeals today was too much for Macid to handle. His vision went all white as he fell backwards on the table, landing with a thud. His eyes closed, he passed out into a deep sleep.

max put down macid carefully where the tiger had instructed, he helped hosd macid still as he screamed in pain, wishing there was something he could do to help him through it. when macid passed out max watch him sleep. he thanked the woman who brought him has and macid's bags before she quietly walked out of the room. max looked up for the first time and reailsed that only he mortis and constance were still in the tent with macid and the younger tiger, this is when e also noticed the jars on the walls. he didn't feel like going further into their contence and decided to wait outside with the others. a moment later he walked outside, leaving his new bag with macid's and looked around. "he passed out, so what now?"

The young apothecary recommended someone carry Macid's stuff while another carried Macid himself. He went outside and looked over at Kiral, who was ready to kick the annoying dog in front of him, "I know it may not be what you want to hear, but you're going to have to carry your friend with the arm. You look like you might be the strongest, so please carry him out soon. You folks don't have much longer to stay here. Make haste." Kiral thought for a minute, fondling the handle of his weapon at the prospect of possibly decapitating the dog. Finally, gave a sigh and got up, "Alright, I'll do it." He walked inside the home again and grabbed Macid's tail, and dragged him along, Macid's head and back making a thump when he hit the ground. "I think we've overstayed our welcome, guys."

Mahi listened and "watched" the dog as it pestered Kiral to throw the stick. She could tell what he wanted to do and she was ready to make sure that he didn't actually do it, but she didn't have to since he got up to go get Macid. When she noticed that Macid was being dragged along, she couldn't keep her disapproval to herself. "Oh come on...you can't carry him over your shoulder or something? He's not a bag of trash, you know." She said, some irritation laced into her voice.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White followed once again, feeling bad for Macid, but not saying anything* "That's probably going to leave a bruise or something, I would try to help, but we really should be going. It's not good to stay in one place for too long when you're wanted dead by a corrupt government." *The wolgon looked back to the dog for a moment feeling bad for it and gave it a little wave with his hand and kept walking* "I never had a dog, but they are cute little creatures."

Mortis finally made her way outside, listening to the others. When she saw Macid being dragged, she couldn't help but make a snide comment. "Some leader we have. Aren't you glad that you're following someone around that would treat you like this if you were injured?" She had just about had enough of Kiral, and was beginning to get more outspoken about it the more irritated she got. She wasn't really speaking to anyone in particular, more or less at everyone. She knew that the chimp had already said something, but she felt as if she should reinforce the girl's point. "If this is how you'd be treating me, I'd rather take my chances on my own." For the second time, Mortis crossed her arms, doubting the capability of their self proclaimed leader.

Constance's ear twitched at something outside just before Kiral walked in making her look at the door. When he began to drag Macid so carelessly she looked at him with a bit of anger. "Hey, what's your problem? What if he goes into a coma or something? I know you don't seem to have a problem with killing people but try to remember who your allies are!" she said, huffing at the end crossing her arms. She thought of just shoving him out of the way and carrying Macid herself. Back home she carried an injured lion over her shoulder in an emergency, because it was going to take too long for anyone else to get there to help. She managed to carry it across the zoo to the vet's area for treatment. Normally Constance wouldn't get angry so easily, but then again, she was in a whole different time and the only other feline there was being mistreated.

max walked in to the house again and grabbed his things when he saw kiral start draging macid away. he felt hes anger rise as he lost sight of the lynx. he walked over to the bed macid had been on and grabbing both his and macid's things, including his book. he calmly walked over to the tigers and thanked them for helping the group and aksed them to send the groups gratitude to the rest of the town. after that he walked outside and silently steped infront of kiral, looking him in the eyes with a look of anger before pushing him aside and scooping up macid. he called back to the group as he begining to walk away. "whoever knows which way we're going better start leading. don't care who."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral scoffed at the incoming comments, and just dropped Macid, his rear smacking on the floor. "I'm neither a leader, nor am I going to give a damn what you say about me. The old geezer wanted us to do a job, and I'll do it. If you don't like it, you can (censored) off and get there on your own. I'll even give you the map, if you want it. I already memorized it. It's no different than remembering blue-prints." Kiral held out the map in front of him and watched them intently. He couldn't care less what happened to them, but he did want to keep his word to the old man.

For the first time, a smirk crept up onto Mahi's face and she crossed her arms, though not in an aggressive way. Considering the circumstances, it seemed like an odd time for such a nonchalant expression as well as the level-headed air she gave off when she spoke. "You don't fool me any. No matter how much you want to not care about any of us and leave us on our own, you aren't going to let Filadius down either." She said with her blank eyes directed right at his face and right into his eyes, not the map he was holding out, and then she removed the smirk so that she was straight-faced but still it wasn't a look of anger. "I don't care how full of yourself you are and how inferior you think we are to you, you know for a fact that you can't do this on your own, no matter how far into the back of your mind that fact may be seeded." It was times like this with those clouded-over eyes directed right at another person's eyes that it could seem like Mahi was staring into someone's soul; even though she was blind her gaze could still be quite intense. "I'm sure everybody here has their own issues, and your issues probably gave you your horrible attitude...but it's time to get over it for the time being and do what we were sent here for. After that, I don't care what you do, but I'm not dying because this group can't get along." This was in no way her trying to become the leader. It was just how she was and how she tried to take care of situations. Kiral needed to be set straight and get over himself to focus on what they were supposed to do, and what she said might have an affect on others in the group possibly even if it wasn't apparent that they might need to be talked to the same way. Mahi's blindness had made her grow-up faster than anyone should have to, so even though they were all responsible adults, she figured she was still more mature than the others though she would never say that to any of them unless they were acting immature for some reason.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*Having finally summed up his own thoughts, White came up with on oddity of a rebuttal* "While I think it's not necessary to be rude right now Kiral..." *The wolf dragon turned to Mahi* "Filadius never really said we had to work together, if he really wanted us to, why did we never meet each other until today?" *He alternatively turned back to Kiral* "It doesn't really make sense to me, if he wanted coordination I think it would have it done before now. On the other hand if he did want us to work together and long knowing how we all are over time, it would have been poorly planned out to throw this in at the last second and turning this into a game of chance when the fate of the world is at risk." *He thought to himself* "...Unless he already knew what was going to happen and only told us what we needed to know." *He scratched at his head in some confusion*

"However more than likely if any of us have to fight the police again, it's not going to work in a one versus fifty fight. Going alone would be insane if not fatal, don't even try to break up the group right now."

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Kiral's words were like a fire under Mortis. Her fist balled up in response and she couldn't help but allow the anger to guide her actions. Her scales had shifted from their normal coloring to something darker with hints of red. She had began shaking because she never liked conflict; it caused her anxiety to rear it's ugly head, but she would be damned if the wolf was going to shoot off like he had and continue having a generally pompous attitude. "AUGH, you are such a jackass!" She exploded at Kiral, not much caring what anyone else had to say or had said. "I could do a better job than you, all you do is act like we should bow down to Kiral, all hail Kiral, all because you worked in a construction yard. Whoop de freaking do, you can order around people there, but you're NOT going to order around me or act like I can't do anything without YOU." Mortis growled, shoving past Kiral and knocking the map out of his hand. She didn't care if he was bigger than her, in fact, part of her wanted him to swing on her just so she could have an excuse to hit him. "And screw your map!" she snapped as she stormed off.

She continued to shake as she walked along, not caring what the others would do in turn. She attempted to take deep breaths to calm down, but to no avail. She had so many emotions running through her all at once. She was angry with Kiral and the old man, and part of her was depressed about how things were looking. The wolf dragon had his points about them being a gamble and it made her outlook on the situation bleak. It made her somewhat disappointed that Filadius was only interested in her for his own personal gain or for a last ditch attempt to save a time that had nothing to do with her. She knew she wasn't a fighter, at least not against well armored soldiers, but she was confident in her natural ability to disappear. Though in the darkest corners of her mind, she almost wished soldiers would catch her and put an end to her.

Constance absorbed some of the angry energy from Mortis it seemed, she didn't explode like she did but rather follow after her, snatching the map up as she went. Kiral was already working his way onto her naughty list from how he treated Macid, so it was more easy to be angry with him. She also could feel a vibe from Hero, like he didn't like him either. Hero followed too after growling at Kiral and picking up his stick. Constance wasn't too keen on Kiral's attitude, much like Mortis apparently, and White said there was no mention of them having to work as a team anyway. "You gonna be okay?" she asked, after catching up to Mortis.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral merely shrugged it off, he really didn't care at all. So he started to walk out of the town, heading east, leaving Macid where he laid, "Your choice. Anyone who's going my way, let's go. If you want to stick with Ms. PMS, feel free." Kiral never cared much for people. He can work with anyone if he had to, but he wasn't going to give anyone the satisfaction of treating him like shit. It was no different during his years in construction, so he would leave others to their own if they so wished.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi rolled her eyes. Agitation boiled up within her but she kept it at bay. Shrugging, she followed after Kiral. It seemed like she needed to be with him as a balance for his horrible attitude, especially since the only other person who really stated her opinion on what he did had decided to separate from the group. "Oh joy, this is going to be such a fun adventure." She thought to herself. "Well, maybe he'll ease-up on the attitude as we go along. Won't get my hopes up though."
