Broken but not Beaten [Tinka/Healers]

[Yueh]

A thick, concentrated growl would rumble upon the wind, its vibrations quivering the endless fauna within it's closest vicinity. Slowly the form of the Chief would appear from the grasses, his white pelt seemingly covered in an orange-red substance.

The orange figure, was none other than his fallen Alpha, Reynard. Perched hopelessly upon the behemoths back as he took slow, painful steps toward home. The red although not much, cascaded from the High Chiefs wounds, painting the scene in a very dramatic light. The beast that had attacked the Alpha and his young son had finally fallen, its presence never again able to take another life.

At first Yueh had thought that's exactly what he had done, that foul creature. Taken the very breath from Reynard. He had not, though in truth, he had been ever so close. Dangerously close. Only when the Calagris had drawn it's last breath did Yueh crawl over to his Alphas side to mourn. As he had buried his large face into the matted orange fur, the Chief realized there was still a faint heart beat, and an ever soft draw of breath.

Without hesitation did Yueh wrap his large jaws around Rey's neck, lifting his broken body gently up onto his wide back- spreading his wings to cover the High Chief awkwardly, and keep him from falling. His healing powers had gone to work as soon as he felt the coarse skin mix with his own, working on anything to keep the brute alive until more help arrived. He was still unconscious, and Yueh did not know if he would make it. And he hated it. Yueh knew a lot of things, but when it came to life and death- that was not his area, not his choice to make.

Tears streamed down the Chiefs aging face, his muscles began to burn from the hike home with the extra weight. As he drew closer to the main den, his mind wandered to the beautiful Satinka, what would she think? He couldn't bare the thought of her pain, her terror as her brown orbs would lay upon her fallen mate. Shaking his face at the image in his mind, the white behemoth pointed his maw to the sky. He howled long, desperately. Calling forth all those that shared the very same power he had. Healing. Whether it be a more Spiritual healing, or a herbal healing, it didn't matter- all types would be needed. He had no doubt they would come, The Children were such a close knit bunch. But the Chief was in dire haste, and he hoped they would not hesitate. Their Alpha's life depended on it.

Blaisen and Loca were back at the den, being babysat by their favorite sitter, and Tinka’s personal adopted daughter, Moonrose. She trusted the lyxxus with all her being, and she knew she would give her life for those pups, just as she had almost given her life for the pack she loved so much. She had no doubt Halcyon was toddling around after his father, after all they were a match made in heaven, he looked like his father and even wanted to be just like him. But Satinka was a mother above all else, and her son’s disappearance bothered her, Reynard was an adult and could fly, but Hal was not and her mother’s intuition was screaming at the top of it’s lungs, making her head pound with it’s ringing. She was in the air, flying above the clouds, watching the fluffy sky beings, part and thrust themselves through her pelt. Her life had just gotten slightly back on track, and so she did not understand why she had a horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach. Up and over the rivers, and the rocky hill top she flew, her sky blue eyes searching, near frantically over the landscape beneath her. Had she thought more she would have howled out her son’s name, or even for her mate, but her better sense told her not to draw attention to the fact that there might be a pup unattended on the ground where there were predators. She began to think while she flew, circling about until she was sure the area had been cleared and neither of her targets where there. How could she leave her pups alone like this? Tinka had many responsibilities within the pack, just like all mothers, and just like many of the healers. Not only was she busy healing ailments, and sickness, and helping new mothers, but she had a group of three of her own, and she was never one to be leisurely. She had always found something to do with herself, and if she wasn’t healing physical ailments she was attempting to heal emotional wounds, within herself and within others. The incident with Aurora, and herself and Reynard seemed to have been placed on pause, and even she herself had not sought out the other female, feeling as though their rift was bigger than any canyon she had ever seen. Reynard was her mate, and though she still loved him with all her heart, and she had said she had forgiven him, she would be lying if a small bit of hurt didn’t remain. She was sure that Aurora had not been nearly as forgiving, and as Reynard had not talked about it, neither had she. She had simply buried herself in the well being of the pack and her own pups, and other young, and needy members. But now was not the time to think of the past, now was the time to find her pup, and then her mate, or her mate and enlist his help in finding their eldest son. Just as she was about to land and try her paws at searching on foot she saw the figure of Yueh walking around the ground. It was unusual for the large wolf to walk, although when flying, and about to land most of the wolves with any brains removed themselves from the impact zone. She tilted her head slightly, noticing that he carried something on his back, looking mangled, and black….and orange….and red…..Her eyes widened and then nearly rolled back into her head, as her wings stopped carrying her and she began to plummet to the ground. Her wings suddenly felt like iron, and she simply could not hold them and herself up anymore….It had been Reynard, her mate Yueh was carrying on his back, looking like a limp, broken piece of flesh and bone. No, not Reynard, not after everything they had been through….as she she was in free fall to the earth she struggled to try to flap her wings, to brace for impact for anything…..finally her wings righted themselves and flapped with enough force that her collision with the earth was not fatal. Landing a few feet from Yueh she ran, not caring how clumsy she looked as she ran toward the Chief, “Yueh! Reynard…..what….happened…Where is Halcyon?!” Before she knew it, she was jumping around the side of the large white brute to try to see her mate, or what was left of him as tears, unabashed fell from her eyes the color of the sky…She couldn’t lose him, and Hal was still missing, her head was swimming with the horrible possibilities that her mate had nearly, or just died to protect her son, who she didn’t even know if he was dead or alive… “NOOOO! Not after all this!” After all the good he had given her, his heart, his love, he had given her pups, she could not see him like this. She forced herself to sit down, and to concentrate, doing exactly what Aurora had taught her, to bring up from the well of her being the power to heal. She felt her blood warm, and her stomach turn in leaps at the possibility that she couldn’t save him, but she could not think like that, not with her mate depending on her for his life. She kept her eyes open, the tears freely flowing as she saw him whole once more, her heart beating frantically in her chest as she tried to see his wounds healing themselves, bones cracking and reforming, blood ceasing to run out of him so freely and quickly. She needed others….! Where were the other healers! She could not stop her concentration to wait on the others, but she knew with injuries of this magnitude it would be impossible she could heal him completely without losing all of her own energy and well being. When Moonrose had been near death, it had almost taken all of Aurora and Satinka’s strength to save her, and she still had the scars to prove she had been near death. Satinka knew that even if she collapsed and slept for days on end, if she could keep her mate alive, or give him a better chance at surviving, she would have laid down her own life for his….She whispered softly…”You can’t go…you can’t leave me…I’ll die of a broken heart…” Tears graced the ground as she sat next to the large white male she had grown to like, and the high chief, the lanky Reynard, whom she had grown to love. [/scrolly]

Your eyes
As we said our goodbyes
Can't get them out of my mind
And I find I can't hide
From your eyes
The ones that took me by surprise
The night you came into my life
Where there's moonlight I see your eyes

[Halcyon]

[atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,false][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,450,true]

[atrb=background,http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/3677/helcymid.png] [scrolly:h(230),w(380),sy,c()] Out of breath and tired in every way possible, Halcyon dragged himself after Yueh. He knew the other grown ups could take care of themselves and kill the monster which attacked him, and right now his place was at his wounded father's side. He knew not the extent of Reynard's injuries, but the tears in his mothers eyes said it all. An indomitable weight brought the young pup down to the ground near his mother. It was his fault that the leader of the pack almost got killed! "I'm so sorry.." Those words were repeated over and over as the pup fell to the cold ground. They were all his brain could formulate, and came out like a chant. Eventually the phrase became unintelligible blubbering. Uncontrollable sobs shook Hal's body. He burrowed his orange muzzle into the snow, completely ashamed of himself. Would they hate him, now? His mother, his siblings, the whole pack? The idea caused a heart-broken wail to retch itself from his throat. What should he do? What could he do? All the little keiyou wanted to do at that moment was disappear. The guilt of having his father's blood on his paws was enough to make him wish for death. [/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/kback-4.jpg] [scrolly:h(308), w(340),sy] OOC: Healer on board, reporting for duty. Kasmira had been enjoying a small stroll through the beautiful but chilly valley, but instead of her more fast paced walks like before, she now waddled instead, and her walks had gotten a lot less long than before. To her eyes, she seemed to be huge, her bright purple fur seeming a bit ragged, her eyes a little tired from a few sleepless nights but still filled with that inexpressible joy of motherhood, the only thing she had ever dreamed of. Her paws crunched along on the cold, chilly ground, and her thoughts strayed to what she would name the pups: She was certain there was more than one pup inside of her, she was much to big and they'd begun to kick and squirm a little. Two at least, perhaps three and maybe even four! She tottered along until a howl met her ears: It was the familiar call of Yueh, the chief and her good friend. He was calling to all healers, and she herself was one. She hadn't had the chance to use her powers on anyone but herself, discovering her powers in the spring after a nasty hunting accident. Still, he must have reason to call and she would do her best to help. She waddled faster, far more our of shape for obvious reasons, and it took her some time. However, when the storyteller did arrive, what she saw was horrifying: Halcyon, one of Reynard's and Satinka's pups, clearly sad, and Satinka, out of her mind with grief it would seem as a weary looking Yueh transported a red and orange mass that could only be the beloved High Chief, Reynard. She waddled over, and for a moment, she truly believed he must be dead: Until logical thinking began, and she realized Yueh would not have called for healers if he were dead. Her green eyes filled with sadness, her heart was torn at the choice between comforting the young pup and queen or going to help her chief. And so the little lupus did what she had to: She teetered over, slightly out of breath from her hurried walk, and approached the group. "I heard your call Yueh, and I am a healer, I will do my best to help Reynard." She whispered to Satinka, trying to be comforting: "It'll be alright dear..." She didn't wait for their consent, knowing already that what she was about to do was already a decision made. She approached, as close as possible, and raised a white paw to gently touch his flank. He seemed so delicate and fragile, broken even... A tear fell from her eye as she focused her energy, and began... She closed her eyes and summoned her energy, focusing on the Keiyou. She gave all she had, and maybe a little more. She hoped the deep wounds would at least begin to heal, and the minor cuts heal completely. In any case, the wounds were now at least free from any infection. She felt drained, and tottered a little to flop down : Her green eyes closed, she was very pregnant, and the pups were due any day now. The healing had taken all her energy, she couldn't even get up. She'd have liked to give more, but she wouldn't jeopardize her pups health.[/scrolly]

[Reynard]

Darkness and pain was about all the sensation he had as consciousness slowly returned to the broken leader. A dislocated shoulder...a broken foot, a broken wing, potentially a lost eye. Not to mention bruised, if not cracked ribs. Yes. A keiyou against a calagris alone would have died. Lucky for him, his pack had not been far off. Without them he would be in the belly of a beast.

His head was pounding, he felt like lead being dipped in lava. Slowly though, he felt sensations coursing through him. A warm, tingling feeling. Someone was using healing magic on him. The ringing in his ears slowly ebbed, he could hear commotion around him. His sense of smell was returning as well, it was mostly the scent of his own blood. However close to him was Yueh's scent, and near him Tinka. One ear twitched, she was pleading with him.

Slowly he opened the eye that was undamaged and searched for her. Though he found he was embedded in a white mass of fur and wings. Was that why things were moving? Was he on Yueh's back? How did he manage that...? He didn't have time to think on it too much, Satinka's words made him try to speak. His voice was weak and labored, but it was there, "H--hey....pretty...lady." He finally found her beautiful face, streaked with tears.

He heard a little squeak as Halcyon joined them. Thank the Great Spirit, he's alive..... His thoughts were all he could offer his son. Just addressing his mate took energy out of him. He wanted to console his son, say it wasn't his fault. He would find his energy again and pull his son close to explain that it wasn't in his power to stop predators from hunting. He tried to lift his head to look to where they were.

Another pack member came to the table. He closed his eyes and rested his head back in the fluff of Yueh. He heard her try to console his family...be it his mate or his son he couldn't tell. It wasn't long before her paw was on his flank. He felt the ribs mend together...the bleeding had stopped and the minor cuts were healing as well. He was no longer on the door step of death. But there were still broken bones that needed mending, not to mention a shoulder to be knocked back into socket.

He opened his eyes, and found the sight in one of them was beyond repair. Being a flyer and having limited vision would not be a good thing, but at least he had his life. He lifted his head again panting slightly with the effort. "Yueh....set me down....." He didn't want to try to stand or even sit up while on the back of his second in command., for fear he would fall off and hurt himself even more.

[/blockquote]

Surprises come in small packages

[scrolly:h(280),w(285),sy]Nocht had been out surveying the land when the thick stench of blood caught his nose. He was off in an instant. The source of the blood was obvious; Reynard was bleeding, and god knows what else was going on. His paws flew over the landscape, his mind fixed in a rage. Who had hurt his father? The further he came the more scents flooded his nose, giving him a more detailed description of what had happened. A calagris had attacked them... Yueh was there, so was Tinka and Halcyon... and Kasmira. His head was overwhelmed with all the scents but soon he found himself on the scene. Reynard looked battered and bruised, but conscious.

Kasmira and Tinka both looked exhausted, and Reynard was far from being fully healed. One of his eyes seemed to be hurt as well, and he could see the mishapenness from bones being broken. His one shoulder looked strange as well. He winced, moving towards Reynard, touching his nose gently on Satinka's shoulder, almost as if asking permission to go nearer. "Father," he said quietly, looking over towards Halcyon, who seemed to be in a pile. The two healers were exhausted, and he had no idea where Aurora was. The young male lowered his head to gently touch Reynard's brow, wishing he too had the power to heal. With that something shifted and suddenly he could feel his mind working in a way it never had before. The broken bones manifested themselves in his mind, and suddenly they were moving back together. It almost made him lurch back, confused at what was happening. A few seconds passed and he pulled back, panting for a moment. He had healed at least one of the bones that had been broken. But... how? Nocht's eyes were wide, and exhaustion was weighing him down. He could do nothing but just step back, very confused.

He managed to get towards Halcyon and he sat beside his half brother, his breaths shaking a bit as he tried to regain the strength he had lost... doing whatever that was. "Halcyon," he said his name softly, offering the pup somewhere to nuzzle himself into if he wished. "I... I think we should get Aurora. Moving him would be dangerous and it's obvious Tinka and Kasmira are exhausted. Aurora is our only other option. Unless we can afford to wait for Kasmira and Satinka to get a second wind."

[Yueh]

The Chief winced as Satinka's cries shattered his concentrated reverie, the hasted movements of her body causing him to bow his head low as if he was about to be hit. He shifted his wings slowly, revealing their broken Alpha male.

He decided to stay silent as she pleaded with Reynard, the only sound he made was a tight clicking as he ground down his fangs nervously. He had felt her pain. The loss of loved ones taken in a moment of bloodshed. It was a pain he still carried with him to this very day. His own tears fell briefly at the thought, could he do it all over again?

It was then others began to arrive, his call had not gone ignored. He could feel all their healing powers combine, desperately seeking it's battered target. He nodded sharply as Kasmira reassured him, thankful of her quick response time. It all began to pay off as a slight movement vibrated his spine. The cheeky comment that split through the silence caused a wide grin to slide across the old behemoths face. Oh thank the Great Spirit's. Was his only thought as he drew his body close to the ground.

His nose felt for Reynard's nape, holding him softly as he tilted to the side, his broken body gently connecting with the earth. Sure he was safe in the company of his family, Yueh released his grip and lay down beside his old friend. Whispers of the dead would described the gruesome aftermath of Rey, and a tight frown graced his aging face.

"Rey."

Was all he whispered happily, a sigh of relief shaking his exhausted form. He began to lick along the High Chiefs back, like a mother would do to comfort her child. It was the only way he could display his affection at this point, and he looked up to give a weak smile to the Queen. It was all going to be alright.

Her concentration was completely broken as joy flooded through her very veins to see him. Her small image of her mate, Halcyon was so very dear to her specifically due to his looks and his sheer emulation of his father, Satinka truly loved him, as much as her other children but in a different way and in this moment, her heart stopped at the sight of him. “My baby!” She near screeched and lunged for her pup who lay on the cold ground, his paws covering his face. She immediately searched his body with her nose for any injuries on his small frame. “Halcyon…” His name whispered over and over as her wings closed protectively over him, she knew by his scent and by her pressing on his body that he was alright, and her eyes fell to her mate once more. In this brief reprieve she would try to gain the energy to heal him even more than she had while she waited on the others to find them. “Halcyon this is NOT your fault..” She pulled him protectively closer, her ears flattening against her skull as she tried to hold the only piece of Reynard she had close to her body for comfort for them both. She saw Kasmira, the beloved story teller who had it seemed like just a few days ago had told her pups the story of the brave king and queen and their heroic children. She gulped back her sobs and nodded as the now very pregnant, colorful female tried to comfort her. She could hardly find her voice with her tears covering her eyes and coating her cheeks. Her body felt wretched and bruised from the inside out, but she refused to give up, as soon as she felt she could she would be up and working to heal her beloved mate once more. She had closed her eyes for a long moment when she heard the rasping voice of her mate, and her eyes shot open. She searched for him through blurry eyes as he called her pretty lady…unfortunately she could hardly find humor in the situation before them. Giving her eldest son the biggest nuzzle she could, she lifted his chin and said in a whisper…”See Halcyon, he speaks, he’ll be okay…” Spirit help her if he died on her now, she’d never forgive herself. She watched as he told Yueh to put him down, and waited for the right time. Before she could get close she was touched on the shoulder, and she tensed slightly. She was a mother threatened, her mate could be dying and her son was just saved from the clutches of death. But when she turned around all she could see was the smaller shape of Nocht, and her eyes relayed her grief and sadness. He had touched her shoulder and she nodded slightly after all, Nocht was his son. If anyone deserved to get closer besides her, it was him, and for once she felt good that they had not wasted time sniping at each other. She gave him the briefest nuzzle as he moved by her to his father. She barely heard Nocht speaking with her son and for a moment she was about to scream at Nocht that she could hardly stand to lose her son again….but in a moment of selfishness she knew it would be better for Nocht to take him to find another healer, than to stay here and blame himself for his father’s condition and so she turned her head to look at Nocht and gave him the best smile and nod she could. She turned her attention to Yueh for a long moment, she had seen his tears, and she had been selfish to think she had been the only one who loved Rey, indeed it was obvious the chief cared for her mate, no other wolf would do for him what Yueh had done in this moment. So she took a few shaky steps to the larger white male wolf, while he was closer to the ground and pushed her face in against the side of his face, giving him a brief side-long nuzzle. “Thank you Yueh, even with the healers, he would not be here without your strong body to carry him, I will forever owe you for as long as my mate lives..” Her words were kind, and genuine, even if they were broken by the occasional sob. As he lowered her mate to the ground she turned on her pads and made her way back to him. Even with Yueh’s smile, and she indeed returned it, between Nocht’s appearance, Kasmira’s and her own Reynard was no longer at the precipice of death Satinka was worried for their future. She could still see bones which needed repair which she would get to in just a moment, but his eyes was behind her help, it was too late for her herbs, and just like with Moonrose he would most likely have some scarring and loss of sight. How would he fly with only one good eye? Then again Yueh flew with no sight….As he came to the ground she pushed her muzzle under his eyes and looked into his eyes with her sky ones and let her tears fall gently onto his muzzle as she pulled back to lick him gently. “Reynard…I won’t live without you…” She sniffed and laid down right to the side, so that his face could rest on her stomach, one of the fluffiest parts of her body….with a deep breath she spoke once more…”I am going to use whatever I have left to try to fix the remaining bones that have been broken as Kasmira cannot being pregnant, she cannot afford to lose the energy…” Luckily for Tinka by now her pups had been weaned, and were on to being able to eat meat, it would not matter if she completely exhausted herself, and right about now she would give her life to see her mate as whole as she could make him. She took in a deep breath and began moving her eyes to his head and slowly moving down, anywhere she looked she began to visualize as whole, her mind was the analytical part of healing, but her heart that was where the true healing worked. She saw him being loved, whole, flying again, hunting again, being without these broken bones. She slowly began to see each of them mend, she knew she did not have the energy to take away the pain, or the aftermath bruising and pain he would suffer. But right now all she care about were the bones, she heard the snapping as they began to reform, pressure from within causing them to bend and form back as they were supposed to be. Stars and blackness began to come into the edges of her vision, but she pushed on, determined to try to make her mate as whole as she could. Her last words before unconsciousness completely took over were simply the only truth she knew in that moment, “I love you, more than I love the sky, the freedom of flight, even my own life…Reynard…” Not even a few moments later, the Queen lay her head down and let the darkness overtake her eyes, and mind. [/scrolly]

Your eyes
As we said our goodbyes
Can't get them out of my mind
And I find I can't hide
From your eyes
The ones that took me by surprise
The night you came into my life
Where there's moonlight I see your eyes

[atrb=background,http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/3677/helcymid.png] [scrolly:h(230),w(380),sy,c()] The closeness of his mother calmed the pup almost as much as her words. So it wasn't his fault after all? But if he hadn't been alone in the meadow at that specific time then Reynard wouldn't be hurt, or worse, dying. Halcyon sniffled against the warm fur of Satinka's chest, relieved that she didn't hate him. "I was so scared.." He whispered, lifting his tear-stained face. If it had been anyone other than his mother, Hal would have kept up the brave act, but he knew she wouldn't look down on him for his fears. The black and orange pup stepped back from Tinka when his father spoke. His dark-tufted ears perked up at the sound and his blue eyes looked hopefully in his direction. So he could talk, surely that had to be a good sign! Halcyon's thoughts went to his brother and sister, and he immediately wished that they were beside him. The little wolf always felt stronger and more confident with his siblings nearby. "Momma!" He cried out in a broken voice. Why was his mother unconscious?! What had happened?! Halcyon anxiously looked from face to face; why were the adults so calm! Satinka could be hurt...The young keiyou growled in frustration and put his nose beside Tinka's face. Her breath fanned across him and Hal let out a sigh. With both his parents out of commission..That put him in charge, right? Halcyon stood up, his posture mimicking that of his father. Now was no time to act like a pup, he had to make sure things were taken care of! A light orange paw swept across his cheek, getting rid of the last few tears. "Come on, Nocht." His blue eyes landed steadfastly on the lyxxus. "We gotta go find Rora, and Blaisen and Loca." [/scrolly]

OOC: Hello all, I know it's my turn to post but since Kas just performed a major healing she's a bit, erm, unconcsious or sleeping right now, so would it be okay to just skip my turn and I post at the next round, since there's nothing more I can really rp since she's sleeping?

[Reynard]

Rey felt awfully sheepish as he was completely lifted off Yueh like a pup. His ears went back in a winch even if he was set down softly. It would take a while for him not to flinch when moving. He was at least feeling a bit more alert with the new location.

His adopted son came up to him, his ears flicked forward at the concern on Nocht's face. "Hey son....." They both felt the strange sensation of healing as Nocht touched him. He felt his ribs mend, he glanced over his son quickly. "Looks like you have some of your mother's talent in you for healing...." The entire sentence tired him out he lowered his head to the ground. He was comforted and able to relax as Yueh licked the back of his neck.

His eyes were heavy, however the voice of his mate made him want to lift his head. He looked at her tear streaked face. His ears flicked back once more, taking stock of the situation. "Baby...I won't leave you..." He gave a shaky half smile. Sure he didn't plan on dieing anytime soon...but lately it seemed the elements were against him.

He gladly rested his head on her warm fluffy-ness. He sighed in relief, feeling at home in her presence. His head lifted again though as she announced she was going to try again, "Tinka...don't...I'll be" He didn't have time to protest, the surge of energy coursed through him once more. He felt a strange sensation as his shoulder seemed to be sucked back into the socked. He grimaced as his fragile wing bones mended. Most of the bones in his foot seemed to mend too, but the swelling and blinding pain of it all made it hard to judged if everything was mended.

Exhausted and close to passing out himself from all the pain, he held on to her last few words. "I love you too......" He was not sure if she heard him or not as she went prone next to him. His head was pounding and spinning. He forced himself to sit up, growling at the pain of his body. He wanted to get in a more protective position over his unconscious mate. All he could manage though was to drape his non wounded foreleg over her shoulders, and rest his head on her side once more.

His vision soon cleared, he longer felt like he was going to pass out as well. His good eye found his son. He didn't have the energy to really move his head to look at Halcyon. "Don't worry....Hal....she's restin'" He gave a weary smirk as his son mimicked perfectly Rey's dominate male stance. He knew who he was going to pass the pack too the moment Halcyon could walk. Now he was showing that he could lead....even if it was just putting on a brave face.

Reynard closed his bad eye and found Nocht again with his good one. He gave the lyxxus a look of approval to go with Halcyon, but also a look of 'Take care of him...' He knew he was in no shape to get up and walk around anytime soon. He would need Yueh here to protect the weakened and prone females, as well as him. He only hoped they were close enough to the dens that nothing bad would come looking.

Surprises come in small packages

[scrolly:h(280),w(285),sy]Nocht did not expect what had happened just as much as Reynard did. He offered an awkward smile when he spoke, feeling the swell of pride in his chest as Reynard referred to him as his son. His words made sense to Nocht, and yet they didn't, and he tried to jumble them around in his head. Talent for healing? Was he a healer too? He knew herbs, he had taught himself that enough, but did he really have the power to heal. He spoke nothing though, seeing that Reynard was exhausted.

Nocht was still catching his breath as he placed himself near Halcyon. Even though the two were not blood related, he considered the little pup to be like a brother to him. He seemed quite shaken up about it too. Satinka seemed hesitant about it at first, but warmed up to the idea, smiling at him and nodding. He moved himself closer to Halcyon, watching as Tinka moved towards him. She spoke, and Nocht tried not to listen. It was rude to listen to other's conversations right? Either way she passed out a few moments later and Halcyon was at her face, nosing her gently.

Satinka must have used so much of her power she passed out, the lyxxus concluded, and he moved to Halcyon's side to give him a bit of moral support. Reynard spoke to him, reassuring his son. His eyes then focused to his own and Nocht nodded. He would keep Halcyon safe, especially with what had just happened. He was sure the pup was quite shaken up.

Halcyon seemed to be ready to go as well, and Nocht smiled a bit, nodding his head. "Alright then, let's head out," he spoke softly, barely having to lower his head to the same level as Halcyon's own. Aurora would be at her den, he was sure of it, probably with Tinka's other pups. He began to move into that direction, keeping his eye on Halcyon and making sure that he was in eyesight and could keep up.

[[ Shall we pretend like they got Rora and all was good and happy and yay? Since Moon isn't on. xD ]]
