A Furry world of nature...

[Dr. Strange]

It's amber eyes watched Sam and Sen then it rocketed out to cling to Sam. It mewed again, digging its' claws in her thigh gently.

She yelped and looked down, growling. "There better be a good reason why you're on my leg, Syracues. I'm not in the mood for playtime." She snarled, reaching down to pry the small creature off her leg and cuddle it to her chest. "Are there any more of you?"

It shook its head, snuggling to her neck. "Master." It barked.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Attica nodded to the other wolf. "I know not of what my father's people have done to yours, Reptile. I've known neither of my parents since I was supposedly banished to Earth. I only know I am what I am because the mortal who raised me let me know when I was ten years of age." Her tail swayed as she spoke and watched the flames as they danced along the brush that fueled their elegance. "I come from an institution. It's more or less my home, but I have to escape sometimes to get away from reality."

[Dr. Strange]

Sam growled at the fox and cuddled it closer, "Syracues, you better not be lying to me." She swung toward Attica. "Meet Syracues. He's kind of a spy." She tickled his chin and lifted him up to see all the other furs in turn.

Syracues blinked in the firelight and struggled to jump out of Sam's arms and into Attica's. He barked frustratedly. "Angel. Want." He growled, nipping her arms.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Attica, surprised by the Fennec's actions, almost instinctively shoved him off of her lap, but stopped in respect of Sam. "Angel want?" she asked, not quite understanding what he meant.

[Dr. Strange]

He glowered at Sam and jerked his head at Attica. "Angel. Demon." He barked again.

Sam rolled her eyes and sat across from Attica. "He means he wants you to talk to him. Tell him what you wouldn't or can't tell us. He is a secret-keeper. A spy too..." She scratched the foxs' ears fondly. "He's to watch over all of you. It's his job."

He nodded, yipping happily and wagging his short tail. "Yes, yes. Want, Angmon. Demal. Is pretty." He nudged Attica's hands, purring softly.

She smiled at Syracues. "He likes you. That's a good thing. He normally doesn't take well to others..."

[Somebody]

Tezztor took the spit from the fire and sniffed in the delightful aroma. "Finisshed finally, feel free to grab there iss plenty of deer meat to go around" He tears a piece off and nibbles at it, relishing the taste.

Between bites he keeps an eye on Attica. "I can't be ssure if our enemies are of your ilk, I'd hate to accuse you of something your family has not taken place in. I know my people are often blamed for many things we don't do." He ponders his status and a raptor assassin. "Maybe some that we DO do" He smiled mischieviously

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Attica scratched behind his ears as she saw Sam do. "No secrets for you, I'm afraid." She looked over to the raptor as he ate. "I know nothing of my family, so I'd be unable to tell you about what they have and haven't been involved in. I see occasional signs from my mother, but my father doesn't know I'm alive." She felt odd in the group, not really having a species or clan to belong to. "And flattering won't get you anywhere," she smiled at Syracues.

[Dr. Strange]

She chuckled and scratched his ears again. "Eh, I'll be right back." She walked up to Tezztor and took some of the deer meat, bringing it over to offer some to Attica and Syracues. "Meh...I'm at a loss for what to do for tonite. I'd like to spend the evening at your place but I've got things t watch over, Sen."

He looked up at her and smiled. "Flatter? No. I compliment. Demal is pretty. No lie. You smell nice too." He beamed up at her porudl, flicking his tail as his purr grew louder. "Right Master? She pretty?"

Sam snapped her attention to the fennec and smiled. "Yes, Attica is very pretty. Now be a dear and go find Saras. I imagine she'll be around the lakebed somewhere." She smirked and fed him a small peice of the deer meat; turning to speak with Attica. "He's a bit of a nosy little fox. Cute though, isn't he?"

[Goblin Cat 😸]

"I suppose if you call things cute." She also wasn't used to feeling emotions toward certain things, but it was not out of rudeness; it was her demonic nature. She looked at the others, somewhat curious. "So what are your names? So far I only know Sen and Nintai."

[Dr. Strange]

"The lizard is Tezztor, I'm Sam. The little fox in your lap is Syracues, and..." She paused; "I think that's all." She swung her head to Sen. "Am I missing anyone?"

[Somebody]

Tezztor stood up and went to his pack and pulled a vicious looking tribal knife. The blades along the edges seemed to glow white. He turned and walked back torward the camp. As he moved closer the blades turned blood red. He kneeled down before the fire and offered the blade end into the flames. "My name iss Tezztor, I'm a raptor assassin of the Ne'taku tribe of raptorss"

He peered intently at the blade before him. "The blade is Zenruil. demon's bane" He began chanting in the lizard tongue. When he stoped he removed the blade from the fire and clenched the hot side in his fist tightly, but no blood was wraught. "It iss a artifact of great power. It is searing yet I'm caused no damage. It is a sign of faith for my people to hold the sscorched blade. If you are found to be righteous and true, the blade will causse you no harm. It wass a gift to my people from the gods, we struck down the demon overlord with it in combat. It wass the only time a weapon was used in battle. We'd be sslaves if it weren't for this blade. I killed my guildmaster to obtain it, my right of advancement."

He playfully spun the blade about a bit. "Anybody elsse care to test their faith?"

[Dr. Strange]

She glanced at the blade. "I'd rather not."

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Attica looked at the blade questioningly. "I don't think so. You said it was demon bane, which means it's got the potential to kill me since I'm technically three fourths demon." She swayed her tail somewhat annoyed at Tezztor's gesture. Demons were never good, and the way her faith always seemed to change, she didn't dare to touch the blade.

[Somebody]

The corners of Tezztor's mouth curled up into a smile "Very well" He walks back to the pack and puts the blade back in its sheath. "You have been honored father, continue to watch over me" he murmered to himself quietly. He kneeled there still as stone peering at the sheathed blade for a bit, lost in thought.

[Nintai Tamashii]

While the others chatted amongst themselves Nintai sat in front of the fire, staring into the flame with pure hatred flickering in her eyes. She was no longer paying attention to anything being said or done, she was too busy talking to that annoying voice in the back of her head that was known as Asim.

'You known they're going to find out about me if you stay here too long...'
'I know...'
'And Akuma-san...don't forget about him...he's probably nearly caught up to us now'
'....I know...'
'And-'
'I get it!! For kamis' sake you just love to hear yourself talk!'
'Well, if you know all this then why are you still here! You should have fled when Sen first saw you!'
"...I should have but I didn't and I'm here now. Nothing we can do but see how things turn out...'
