Nemu
Nemu stayed with the Haunters though stayed out of most affairs. She hadn't seen her twin sister in ages and missed her. She moved lowly to the ground. Of course being huge had its disadvantages but she made due. She was talking a buffalo. When she was within a few paces she bolted shoving straight for it. It didn't take her long and she could easily bring it down. Once she sure it was dead she began to gorge herself. She released a roar to warn off others from her kill.
Dusquei
Like some twisted doppleganger, another big cat was stalking the prairie, and she was a perfect replica of Nemu. From her pale coat to her broad and quirky-angled angled head, Dusquei was a spitting image of the other feline. The only difference between them was a slight weight difference, where Nemu weighed in at 650 pounds, Dusq was a mere fifty pounds less than that, though this minor difference was hard to tell while her winter coat was so thick.
"Nemu..." Dusquei had found her sister not by accident; she had been keeping tabs on the Haunters, and by luck, and come across her twin's scent some miles back, and had cautiously trailed after her at a safe distance, to make sure that there were no other Haunters with her. Now that she was sure Nemu was alone, Dusq dared to approach her and call out her name, speaking it in a friendly, inviting tone. Though she was no longer with the Haunters and was now against them, she had a special place in her heart for her littermate.
Nemu
Nemu had been a momma girl and she didn't want to leave her mothers home that was the only reason she had stayed with the haunters. She could careless really about them but she didn't want to be chased from her mothers home. She missed her mother so much but she had died from rabies a while back. She was finished eating when her ears twitched at the heavy pad falls and then her name spoken.
She looked up and made a purring like sound and immediatly sprung up and move to he rsister with a speed you wouldn't think such a large creature like herself could do.Dusquei!She spoke and sniffed her sister over as if checking to make sure her sister was unharmed. She nipped her and rubbed up against her.I've missed you so much!She spoke. Yes indeed one would have a hard time picking who was who out of these two at close distance even with a weight distance. The only difference was probably their personalities. Nemu still acted much like a cub still yet she was very protective.
Dusquei
Dusquei gave a happy, chuffing laugh at her sister, just happy to be reunited and glad to see that Nemu felt the same way. She nuzzled the other cat back and took a moment or two to groom at the side of Nemu's neck in an act of mutual bonding, "It's been too long since we've seen each other." Dusquei was careful when she said that, because she had been the one to leave the Haunters, and thus leave Nemu there. But she had pleaded on her sister's behalf to Velvet, hoping to keep Nemu protected if they were ever to attack the Haunters. "What have you been up to in all this time?" Dusq glanced at the carcass that her sister had been feeding on, and though she was hungry, she would much rather get caught up in talking with her sister before she would fill her belly.
Nemu
Nemu slick tail twitched and she plopped her rear end onto the ground and her ears were fully on her sister as she listened to her.Yes, yes it hasShe spoke softly and then tilted her head to her sisters words.Nothing really, Spending time with Senka. Though i feel bad cause the only reason i do that is cause she slightly reminds me of motherShe admitted of taking advantage of her half sisters closer resemblence to their mother Samara. She had never told Senka that. She'd probably would of run and hide if she told her half sister that that was just rude and pretty sad.and you?She spoke calmly and then glanced at her meal.Eat sister She spoke moving to the dead animal and sitting by it.
Dusquei
She missed her mother too, and the fact that Senka reminded her much of the fae as well, but she couldn't dare show her face at the Ruins or she would risk attack. Under Greyfell's rule, she wasn't sure if that would mean death or not... but she knew what happened to traitors in the days before; they were severely punished in front of the whole clan, then brutally executed. Dusquei didn't want to risk that. "You know, father has been wondering about you." Quietly, she told Nemu of this, strongly wishing that she could convince her sister to join her side, but at the same time not wanting to force her into leaving the Haunters. At Nemu's prompting, the smaller sister moved forward to start feeding on the carcass, and in between taking bites, she continued talking. "I... we found a new home. It's nice, I like it..."
Nemu
Nemu watched her twin as she just sat there already full. Then her ears cocked forward.Father... Was all I said to it. Her tail flicked to the other side as she listened to her sisters words. thats good....She spoke. She wanted to leave the Haunters but she needed to be close to someone she knew like her sister. She knew she was strong but she was still worried about others. I miss you Dusquei, I don't want to go back and leave you She spoke softly.
Dusquei
Dusquei put her powerful jaws and teeth to work, tearing through the still warm flesh and taking out chunks to swallow whole. Her last meal had been a long-dead sea bass that had washed ashore along the coast, so this was a pleasant upgrade from that, and a far better tasting meal. "Aunt Velvet has also been wondering about you, and our uncles; they miss you as well." Dusquei's words were quiet still as she spoke of Velvet and the coalition. And then she heard what she was waiting for. The big cat looked up from the kill, her jaws and muzzle stained in a contrasting crimson wash, "You don't have to go back, Nemu. And... I don't want you to." She turned fully away from the carcass now, looking her sister dead in the eye, and speaking in true sincerity, "Come join me."
Nemu
Nemu listened to her sisters words. It was good to know her family missed her. Then she said she didn't want her to go back. I listened to her and my eyes momentarily roamed to the ruins before returning to her sister. I will join youShe spoke softly moving to her sister and rubbing up against her now.
Dusquei
The feline smiled broadly and nuzzled her sister, simply purring with delight, "You'll love it there, I'm sure. Father and the others will be happy to see you." Dusquei stepped away from the carcass now, her own gaze casting towards the mountains where their home was, "I can lead you there now, if you're ready."
Nemu
Nemu smiled back she was sure she was doing the right thing. I think it would be best, I am pregnant and due with in the next week or two She spoke softly. Her tail twitched.
Dusquei
A smile spread across her softly colored maw, "Expecting kittens? Wonderful news!" She was glad for her sister, and saw this pregnancy as a double boon because it would also mean more members for the Nuova Alba clan. "I'll lead the way." With a final nuzzle to her sister, Dusquei turned away and led the path to the Basin.
