Momo

Momo even meant nursing, so that would mean she would breed. The pups would only know their biological mother for a few seconds while being born.I still intend on having my ownShe said calmly. At least once, if all her pups came out like her she was liable to kill them anyways because she wouldn't want them to suffer as she had. unless they support all of us in equal rights unlike father I don't know if ill get along with them.She said to her sister as she limped home. She doubted she'd get a warm welcome. Her father only wanted to make Aizen happy. He did not care about her one bit even less now knowing what she intended to do.

Tersek & Others

A howl announced the return of the rescue party, with Tersek leading the brigade over the moat and into the shadow of the looming temple they called home. As he shook his fur out on the other side, the elder wolfdog waited for Senka and the rest of the Haunters to arrive so that he could deliver the most recent news.

Velvet, Oracle, and Zanarah weren't long in responding. All three big cats had been lounging in the speckled rays of sunshine filtering in from the open canopy, keeping close to their home after Senka's recent return, just in case the Makucha decided to get their cubs back. It was Velvet who first noticed the sour look on the Colead's features, along with the torn cheek, "You're wounded. What happened?"

Traveling with Momo, Duality crossed the moat with her half sibling and spoke in a low voice, aiming to avoid the attention of their father or the lioness whom she knew would not approve of Momo's breeding. "Once you've healed up a bit, why don't you talk to father and Senka? We can hold a meeting and see if opinions can be changed." Again, she wasn't hopeful that they'd hear her out, but it was the only safe option she could think of for Momo. "In the meantime, Blackmist can help you with the cubs; we recently acquired a bundle of them after Senka and the others were returned..." Duality trailed off with a shake of her head, realizing Momo would have no idea of who the Makucha were or what had happened with the Haunters. "We've got a lot of catching up to do."

Momo

Momo limped after them her ears back. She wondered if her father would tell the others everything including their squabble. She snorted.Fine but i doubt father opinion will changeShe said.I don't care to look after any cubs till I have my own or am atleast carrying my own LEt alone she couldn't handle cubs right now wiht her injured leg. If they didn't change their minds she still planned on breeding and any wolf pups that she cared for would learn that they were all equals and therefore when tehy were older would support her in her endevours. It was her way of turning haunter against haunter by making wolf pups and canine pups believe she was their biological mother.

Senka wasn't long as she eyed both Terserk and his daughter Momo. She wondered what happened.Obviously they had to fight but I am assuming either Aizen is dead or still in the humans hands? She questioned. Senka wasn't as hard minded as Terserk.

Ursa was slowly putting weight back on and she heard the commotion and slowly came above ground again. She couldn't see them but she smelt momo and her isblings

Tersek & Others

'I doubt it too.' Duality thought, keeping the opinion to herself. For Momo's sake, she would do her best to try and dissuade her from having pups, but was worried her half silbling's determination was too strong. The Haunters weren't as large as they once been, and it would be hard to keep Momo from sneaking out for a night. "It might be good to-" In the middle of responding to Momo, Duality perked up and gave her tail a wag as she saw Ursa. Nudging her sibling, she nodded in the other's direction, "Momo look - Ursa!"

Tersek shook his head with a disgruntled snarl, "Thankfully not dead, but still with the humans. I have the raptors trailing his thunderbug now, to see where he ends up." With a heavy sigh, the brute sat back on his haunches and looked to Senka, "We did get Momo back, but her time with humans has changed her. She insisted on pups, and attacked me when I told her no." At this he frowned, "Mijuu also showed up, and was determined to change how the Haunters operate; I don't know what has happened with her, but I exiled her from our ranks. Such insubordination would weaken us when we're just now getting strong again. And with the likes of the Makucha out there, and Imre knows who else, we can't afford any infighting."

Senka

She listens and frowns a little more over the squabbling between father and daughter. why not let her have one litter, if its deformed like her or worse perhaps then she'd be convinced not to, it does take a toll on the mother knowing that ones offspring will have issues. Yes we need strength but as of right now we are low on members and any female old enough tp produce young should see about increasing our ranksShe said eyeing momo. She sits down. Course her leg will need to heal if she to take care of anything as is. Your a little hard against her having pups Terserk, her litter was a fluke and for the most part the three that survived have the will to fight and live. It can not hurt to let her see if she can bring forth a good litter, same with Ursa if she wants it and Aizen when we free him.She said calmly.I think all we need to do is just find a strong partner for them to give his genes to the poolShe said looking back to terserk.

Momo wondered what her sister was about to say but then turned her attention to urse and moved limping to her sister.

Tersek & Others

"I have to be hard to ensure the survival and fitness of the Haunters. It's not a role I enjoy, but it must be done. Lest we face another fracture." Tersek countered with a sour touch, but his tones weren't aggressive or angry towards his fellow co-lead. Velvet ignored those comments, though she knew full well the wolfdog still held resentment against her for tearing the group apart years ago. Tersek huffed and turned his two-toned eyes to Senka after he'd had a few moments to ponder her suggestions. "You do have one solid point, and that is we lack numbers. Especially canine, and we need more of them. If her pups turn out malformed like her, then she breeds no more. If they're healthy and functional... then she can continue. But her role will be as Den Mother, unless she can prove herself usual in some other task."

Senka

Senka sat there and listened.Then we need to allow things we use to not if we don't want to fracture. Part of what causedi t to fracture was never listening or allowing things. She has your stubborness if she attacked and therefore she won't be letting it go. She'll will gladly cause us to fracture if we do not allow her the chance to do as she wants. Its not gonna hurt us either way if she has pupsShe said calmly. As for the den mother thing she shrugs.If she wants pups this badly I think she will be fine with being a den mother. It shows us what she wants a little in lifeShe said.

Tersek & Others

The old hybrid grunted, sounding reluctant with Senka's views but not altogether against them, "Maybe." An ear swiveled back, catching the fading sound of pawsteps as Duality and Blackmist led Momo further from the main forum and to a quieter area to better reunite with her long-lost sister. "Change is inevitable I suppose, but we can't allow ourselves to become too lax with our laws or permit insubordination." Tersek rose up again, another grunt given as this effort proved more difficult than he anticipated. Age was certainly catching up to the Haunter. "A discussion for another time though. I'm going to speak with the others, and ready them in case the raptors come back with news." Tersek turned then, padding towards the Temple itself as he put his mind towards the second rescue attempt of Aizen.
