Alex looks up and sucks in a quick breath seeing the two enter. They seemed different from the others-besides the NOT being screaming lunatics part, they had an air about them that was.. unusual.. Letting out his held breath he pulls out the pouch from earlier and fiddles with it, holding it tight despite his current company. Taking the canteen he drinks heavily-very heavily actually. The fynx drank until he sputtered a bit then handed it back, easily draining more than enough. "Sorry.. my stomach just hurts so much I need to fill it with something-and, eh, I was.."


Lifting his shirt he revealed four long scars over his chest visible where the scar tissue had kept fur from growing in. "The doctors probably brushed it off as an old wound but.. well, I'll explain when we're in a safer, more secure place." Looking to the door he pulled himself to his feet and barely held back a groan. Though his body was not wounded his stamina was still drained, his muscles sore. "Lead the way and try to keep the crowd back. I have a lot to offer you, and my only current requirement from you is a good meal." The fynx chuckled softly and looked around glancing into his pouch his eyes twinkled softly and he stowed it in his back pack and threw on his desert outfit.

Helios barely heard a word the new fur said to him as he sat listening to the commotion outside. He tuned back in to the last few words of the fur as he climbed out of the bed. "Giving demands to the people saving you?" Helios chuckled. "Just trust me." With that Helios grabbed the fur in his arms. "Luna take point. A small distraction is all I need. Once you do Vulps and I will take him back to the base and we can talk there." He kissed his lover once in a fit of passion knowing she'd do what was needed. He looked down at the new fur in his arms and laughed again. "Don't worry you're safe with us." Helios was ready for what ever was about to happen.

Luna smiled and nodded at Helios, letting her tails slide across his chest as she moved toward the door. She grabbed her cloak and threw it around herself, leaving the hood down. She unsheathed one of her daggers and opened the doorway to the chaos outside. Shouts began flying and she simply smirked.  She slowly stepped out and shut the door to a minor crack behind her. When she looked up, she had adopted a look of concern.

"Listen to me," she pleaded, holding her paws out. The crowd simply began pressing closer. Her ears twitched and she snarled. "I said listen, you ignorant fools!" her bark caused the group to silence. Whispers starting darting and she glared, holding her dagger point to the east, away from where their base was located. "That fur is not as exciting as you think. There came word of a major fight about to break out between the city guards and some bandits! I hear you can sell those bandits headwraps for a lot of gold," she grinned, waving her dagger. The crowd didn't shift much, though a few furs ran towards the false hope. She frowned and pointed her dagger at the remaining group. "Go before I make you." she murmured. A few more left sulking, but one fur stood taller than he should have. He shouted an obscenity and ran at Luna with a shortsword. With a smile, she quickly disarmed him with her other dagger and sunk her ivory one into his ear. He howled in pain as she calmly wiped the blood from her blade on his own tunic before he sunk to his knees, earning a kick from her to get him further. "Someone help, this gentlefur has been harmed by someone here in this group!" she cried loudly and soon footsteps could be heard. The few furs left standing went wide-eyed and ran at the chance of being jailed for assault. She turned back toward the door with a sigh. That was much more effort than she wanted to expel. So tedious.

Vulps quickly became out of eyeshot to the new fur, fearing that he would be in worse condition because he would freak out. He singlaed Helios to follow him and so he did, leading the way, getting looks of fear and hate from the crowd as we left for home. Hethought about bringing his disembodied arm home, but he quckly saw a cople pheasants running off with it  to cook it. as they traveled home, vulps slowly brought into his thoughts his missing arm without going into shock. He thought,  there must be a tinkerer at home base willing to make a mechanical arm. They arrived at the base without any more drama, and approaced Helios and the New fur.
"I'll need a tinkerer to make me a new arm. Show me where i should go, Helios."

Alex moved with Helios, watching the one who'd rushed Luna get carted away he eyed the girl suspiciously. This was definitely not what he had expected, after all, this 'Guardian' had attacked someone then attempted to frame the crowd-this happening after she threatened them. Perhaps the threatening wasn't that big of a deal but.. The fynx was going to have to take time to sort things out for himself. Watching the city rush by as he tried to ignore the slightly sick feeling of a stomach full of nothing more than water he eventually arrived at what they called home. Alex suspected it would be a while before he could identify anything as such.


Sitting down he looked around, watching as a new fur to him ushered the one name Helios away to help him find someone to-did he say make a new arm? Shaking his head softly he turned to Luna and looked her over as if appraising her worth. Doubts still circled around in his head. "You don't like to play the classical hero do you? Friend of the people, looking after the common good is a bit alien, eh? Or at least the usual way of accomplishing those goals is a bit alien to you.." Reaching into his pack he pulled out the pouch and pulled out a long bit of bone-no, a fang. Upon closer it was wickedly sharp. "I'll give you one guess as to what I pried that out of. One hint, it gave me the scars I showed you just the other day."

"Gods Vulps! Don't you ever be that rash again! We are Guardians, not crazed mad men with a vendetta." Helios sighed. He couldn't be too mad. He'd been that rash himself when he and Luna had joined. Seeing the pain and guilt in Vulps eyes he softened his words. "Look just... Just head to the east wing of the complex. There you'll find a black smith who should be able to replace your arm. His name is Gregior. Vulps... Next time let's try our words first okay?" Turning his attention completely to this new fur Helios looked him up and down again.


"So, he's faced a dragon and lived. Not many can make that claim, not even with in these halls. I'm impressed, but what I'm more curious about is how he found us. Guardians have never been sought out. We've always chosen our ranks and who knows of us." Helios whispered into the ear of Luna taking a seat next to her. As he sat he say even more clearly just how starved, and torn up the fur really was. "Ryla, do be a dear and fetch me a loaf of bread, what ever is freshest and have Rae prepare soup for our friend here. Nothing to heavy and make sure you find him something to wear until Sophia has time to get him a proper outfit. Oh and please race down to Gregior and tell him Vulps's arm is on me." Ryla went right to work with Helios's order. He now sat waiting to see just what Luna and this fur had to say.

Luna giggled at Helios scolding the new fur, knowing well that he'd quickly turn into the softie that he was. And indeed, he did so. She turned to the new fur with a more serious look, glancing him up and down as the same he'd done to her. "Don't worry about who I am- you'll come to know for yourself soon enough. After all, you're in our custody now." a half smile came to her lips and as the food Helios had ordered arrived, she sat next to the fynx, handing it to him gently. "So you've already fought a dragon. Good to know. That's how  I got these as well," she pointed to the bandages still wrapped on her leg and hips. "Ah, we never caught your name. Eat your fill til you've got some strength and then tell us- who you are and why you've come. I'm very intrigued, and no doubt he is as well," she motioned to Helios, an ear twitching. "Hardly anyone even knows who we are." she narrowed her eyes, watching the fur carefully. After a few moments she took her daggers out and played, touching their tips together and slashing them against one another gently, as if sharpening a knife. She had to do something as she waited, after all.

Vulps went to gregoir, and with haste to just know what he wanted to know and get himself  back to bis quaters as fast as he could and deal with what happened today. Gregors words echoed around in his head, "Week if i hasten it!". Same amlint of time it would take for his arm--what was left of it-- to heal. He kept silent as the new fur accepted becoming a visitor. Mad voices came boucing around. He simply gave him a stern look, full of concern, questioning, and slight regret. He folloed and transitioned to slightly cheerful, patted the new fur on the back, and ans simply spoke.
"Do good. Im sure your worth of what you cost me."

Alex narrowed his own eyes at her and scoffed at the word taking his food and poking at it for a moment then he licked his lips and dug in with a ravenous hunger. If he had any skepticism about the integrity of his food, something in him overrode it fast and hard. In a matter of minutes his food was gone and somehow he'd managed to get it all into his mouth as well. Letting out a content sigh he looked to her and scoffed again. "I am in no one's custody for a number of reasons. One being that I have not been accused of a crime-and I have not been accused because I have not committed one." 'Not in your lands' the last few words stayed behind his lips and in his head where they belonged. "I suppose, though.." the fynx continued after only a moments silence, "evidence could easily be created, given your behavior so far.. There is one more reason why I am not in custody. Though first I'd like to hazard a guess as to the location of my sword."


Somewhere along the way he realised it was missing but thinking back the last time it was on his person was when he passed out at the gates. "Would it be in your 'custody' by chance?" The fynx emphasized the word 'custody' as it became a bit of a slur with the way he said it.

"Sadly no we did not grab your blade, but one can and will be made. And stop using custody as if it were taboo. You are a guest if that makes you feel any better." He turned to the other furs who were gathered. "Clear the hall all of you. Luna and I will be talking to this fur one on one. That reminds me. Your name you have one right. Well speak up, and start talking. You came to us so you owe us answers!" Everyone scattered and quickly. Helios had never been this upset before. Not unless Luna was in danger or missing.

Luna simply smiled and pointed a dagger at his throat lazily. "You seem very intent on that word. Unfortunately, you misunderstand my meaning." she stood up, her gaze unwavering. "No one here has accused you of anything, though you seem to be hiding something. You sought us out, you are here under our protection, and you'd do well to remember that." she turned to stand closer to Helios, sheathing her daggers. "Disrespecting those who saved you from that dreadful hospital," she muttered, waving at Helios to calm down. She watched the hall clear out of everyone and turned her attention back to this azure fynx.


"Again, why have you come? Hardly anyone knows of us, fewer know where our bases lie. Your name, your reasons. You've eaten well, let's hear them before we give you a resting quarters."

Alex arches his brows and lowers his head, almost looking through his lashes. The look conveyed a feeling of disbelief and perhaps even a bit of contempt. Standing and pacing away he stood for a moment and sighed deeply. "Guardians.. of what?" Turning his head sharply and shooting them a challenging look he presses on. "I remember hearing that the Guardians were great, virtuous protectors of the people. Yet here in the-what, hour?-I've known you I've seen you threatening people, using a dagger on an unarmed man, and now you have the nerve to point that same dagger at me and say that I'm here under your protection?"


Fully turning around the hybrid shook his head slowly. "You both also seem to think that simply because I came seeking you out means I need you. I think you-" his gaze slid over to meet Luna's eyes, "-will find that you need me." The air about Alex had shifted greatly, he now seemed stronger, that single meal seeming to improve more than just his health. Raising a paw and holding it up before him energy crackled like bits of lighting and then a ghostly blue flame ignited in his paw. "I believe I have something that you have a vested interest in.."

Helios was usually calm, but he was not one to be threatened in his own house. "We did what we had to!" He barked at the arrogant Fynx. "You know nothing of our plight. We were Guardians of the people long before your time, but now we mean nothing to this society to this world. We used to be champions, but now we are nothing! This world doesn't see the threats we fight to keep them safe. They thing us no better than the common mercenary." Helios's movements were fast as he lunged across the room slamming the Fynx to the ground in a full body hold. "Now my wife and I have both been rather polite, so I'm only going to ask you one more time. Who are you and why are you here. And so help me if I find out you are keeping any secrets I will gut you from end to end and you will know my wrath." The blood in Helios was boiling, he'd never been so enraged. But for this snarky jerk to come in and make this accusations and claims after they'd risked their lives to keep him out of the public and from the certain death the villagers would have condemned him to for even mentioning the Guardians, Helios had had enough.

((Alex you skipped Vulps. Stay in order please unless he's withdrawn.))
Luna watched Helios with amusement, though she was fixated on that magic the fynx held in his palm. She had a vague throbbing in her head when he did it, a sure sign she had made the right choice. However, her suspicion quickly grew. She laid a paw on Helios' shoulder and looked down at the fur.

"He's right," she murmured. "I used my dagger on an unarmed man? He ran at me with a shortsword, or maybe you were too busy being carried to see that," she spat, "I don't know about you, but if somefur has the nerve to attack me, I will make sure he gets what he deserves. Maybe we should have let the crowd take you instead," she turned her back for a moment, pacing. She didn't like being so curt to someone who was obviously genuine about coming to them. However, from the moment they had gotten him back he had been nothing but an ass.

She turned back and knelt next to Helios, tracing along one of the furs scars. She looked into his eyes intently, searching, as she took her paw back. "Who are you?" she asked quietly.

Vulps stays in his quarters because he needs to recover. As he should help, but he does not because the deep trouble he was in. He had just a couple days more until he could get back into action. He needed to cope and get his disability dealt with.  He thought that he should go, but also, equal combating thoughts to stay and heal.
