Layra

Layra didn't exactly want to make an alliance with Senka, not because of Senka herself but the onees like Terserk who she knew couldn't change his ways or did so grudgingly. But She also did not wish to be enemies with Nemu or tear Nemu from her sister Dusquei who too would be torn. But Senka couldn't make the decision for an alliance alone and Layra didn't hold up hope that the haunters would. Nor even if they did did Layra trust them.

Layra was pacing as she tried to think of ways to prolong peace with Nemu. Blythe and Blake both had said they'd go because they were bored here anyways and rather be with their mother. Layra had watched them go after pointing them in the right direction. Part of her wanted to get Autumn to go too not because she wanted her to but because she knew it might help with the relation with Nemu but she did not and would not force her to go. AS for Oracle she didn't trust her anways but she didn't think Mael would easily open his heart to his sister again after she just stood by and let Hades attack him and even spoke about helping him if hades told her the truth. Family was her main purpose in life and she didn't like the mindset Tuini and the others seem to have. Nemu was right that too much of what they were doing now was reminiscence of Risen. Tuini was stubborn and hard to convince him of anything. Menace and TEri were still hear healed and apparently staying. But Layra winced every time she saw the two knowing that Menace hadn't been able to say good bye to her daughter one last time. That they were the reason her daughter was dead. She paced.

Tuini, Autumn Sun, Spotlight, Little Tuft, & Rufflan

Tuini was lounging in the sun on this morning, soaking up the warm rays and enjoying a peaceful day following yesterday's torrential downpour and driving winds. With a lazy yawn he rolled onto his back, folding his forepaws over his chest and squinting his eyes up at the patches of fluffy white clouds that rolled across the blue sky above. When he caught Layra pacing a ways off, he gave a low chuff, "Why don't you settle down, sis? Enjoy the nice weather." For him, there was little anxiety or grief over the loss of Shadowstep or the position that it had put Menace in, only regret that their earlier attempts to keep some of the cubs had failed. His concern lay solely with his pride and their welbeing, and though he remained hesitant about their newest additions, he was willing to accept them on Layra's behalf.

Above them all, Autumn Sun was stretched over the rocks that capped their cavernous home, having found a nice grassy patch to settle down in. She'd been sad to see her brothers leave, but remained optimistic in peace between them and Nemu's pride, even if she held strong disagreements with her aunt.

Little Tuft and Spotlight were piled together a short way from Tuini, each stretched out with limbs haphazardly intertwined as they too basked in the warmth of the spring morning. In a nearby tree, a recovering Khala preened her feathers and helped keep an eye out for trouble or opportunity around their immediate area.

Oracle

Not one to miss a good sunning opportunity, especially since such things were hard to come by in the shaded reaches of the Ruins, Oracle too was splayed out in the grass a few dozen yards from the den, her pale hide soaking up the heat like a hungry sponge. She wasn't quite as lax as the others though, with one eye always peeking open to keep tabs on Layra, and an ear frequently flicking to any nearby noises. She knew she wasn't fully integrated into the pride yet, and had to be on her toes.

Layra

Layra knew what Nemu said was true about them. They were doing exactly as Risen had done and it agitate her greatly because thats what they didn't want to be. But Tuini and some of the othes were too stubborn to see that to change. She heard Tuini and finally went and laid down right behim resting her head on his shoulders. She didn't dare voice her thoughts especially not with the others around or oracle. She'd honsestly never trust her. IF she could turn on the haunters so easily she could turn on them.
