Tersek & Others

Tersek stood outside of the Temple entrance, craning his neck to clean at his fur along his side while he waited for the rest of the Haunters to file back in from their trek to the Tall Grass Prairie. Blackmist and Duality loped past him with pleasantly uplifted tails, happy that they'd gotten back their missing packmates without ever having to fight, while Lupanare had stayed beyond the water walls of the moat, preferring to go back to the hunting duties she'd been on before the call to arms had been raised.

Leomar carried Starbane as far as the forum grounds before dropping the water-soaked cub, having not taken the effort to lift the youngster higher than his nose from the moat when he'd swam across. The youngster coughed and sputtered as he was sat down, but didn't complain. He was relieved to be back home, if not badly shaken by the ordeal.

Tersek eventually put his grooming on hold to seek out Senka; they had a few matters to discuss, and one of them was the disobedience of Oracle and Maelertech.

Senka

Senka had brought Dutch to his family before coming back up and pacing.

Tersek

Tersek loped towards his fellow in command with a tail cricked in irritation. "Senka." He stopped a few feet away from the pacing feline, seeing that she appeared no less agitated than he, "Dally and Zanarah are with Nemu now. If they don't return soon, I'll send one of the eagles to make sure they're safe." The elder paused, watching a sodden Starbane pick himself up scamper towards the Basement. "What about Katara, and the Makucha? Do you intend we keep to our own and let them be?" In days past Tersek would have absolutely pushed for action, to wipe the Makucha out at the very least, but he was getting too old, and the Haunters were still too little in number to safely stomp out this particular enemy. "If we do chose to ignore them, I at least want our Spies keeping tabs on them, and nothing short of war if they try us again."

The wolf grunted then and turned his body, swiveling his grizzled head towards the smaller Temple where Dima resided. "We still need to do something with Mael and Oracle. They need to be punished for nearly getting themselves and the cubs killed."

Senka

The way Nemu was torn hurt her herself. She didn't k now how to help Nemu in this situation. Dusquei nd her had been so inseperable when they were young and when Dusquei vanished Nemu had been unconsolable for some time and had searched heaven for her twin. Now that her twin was found alive and had been so willing to allow everything that happened to them to happen had to be tearing nemu apart.. Her eaer twitched as Terserk came over. we keep an eye on them but for now leave them beShe said.

Then on to the punishment as she paced.It needs to be severe, I don't care if those two say they understand the risks nowShe said.

Tersek

"As soon as this storm blows over, I'll send Tracey and Erathi out to report on their status." Tersek announced with an agreeing nod. As for Nemu, he was still relying on Dally and Zanarah to ensure her safety, and couldn't ignore the worry that sat in the back of his mind to have the emotionally distraught cat out and away from the protection of the Ruins right now.

His mind switched gears with Mael and Oracle, and with it came a deep, glowering expression as the full weight of their ignorant actions came to mind. A good quarter of the Haunters had to be mobilized to get the children back, and Tersek was not happy about it. "Agreed on that. Confining them to the Basement or Dima's Temple wouldn't be sufficient. I think the first step..." The old wolf paused in thought, recalling his younger days with Risen. "...a meeting, where the rest of the Haunters are to observe. It'll give them humility, and teach the cubs what happens when rules are broke. A verbal lecture would be a good start." He looked to the pacing Senka now, seeing what she thought of this first line of suggestions. There would be more to their punishment, but he would hear out any ideas she had before offering the rest of his.

Senka

She did worry about nemu but for now more pressing matters needed her attention. "Yes that will b the start" she said

Tersek

"Any suggestions on the rest of their punishment?" He prompted, looking to his co-lead before switching his two-toned eyes for the smaller temple once again. "I think a good thrashing in front of the others would be a decent measure, and then they'll both be sent on strict training regimes with some of the adults. Hunting, stalking, and such. It'll keep them busy, and with any luck, instill some responsibility in them."

Senka

Senka paced and listened thinking.they will both be put in their places physically and verbally. They will as you just suggested be doing every single training their is to be offered and they will do it without complaintShe said.

Tersek & Lupanare

Tersek exhaled a steady breath, grimly satisfied that they'd come to a mutual agreement on the punishment needed. It would be harsh, but necessary if they wanted to prevent another incident like they'd had today. The wolf tossed his head back and howled deeply, calling for Menace and Leomar; these two Coalition members would be responsible for retrieving the adolescents for the meeting, and handing out the physical side of the punishment.

Leomar hadn't gotten that far away by the time Tersek had howled for him. He'd growled under his breath, annoyed at being bothered again so shortly, but obediently got up from where he'd been resting and made his way back towards the co-leads. "Yeah, what's up?"

Senka

She waited for the two to arrive. When they did she spoke."the two of you will fetch oracle and mael as well as being the ones to phyisically put them in thier place. This will be done publically so everyone knows to not step out of line and to teach the two humility" she said

Menace got up from her perch havent spent it with her cubs. "Gladly" she had been pissed

Tersek & Leomar

After Senka had finished explaining the situation to the pair, Tersek turned his head back again and let a second howl ring forth. This one was louder, and intended to call all the Haunters together. "Meet us in the Temple." He said with a nod to Menance and Leomar, and proceeded towards the main complex.

Leomar brandished a grin when his role was explained. Finally, he'd get to exercise his claws a bit. It wouldn't be the satisfying brawl he'd been hoping for, but it more excitement than he'd seen in a while. After bumping shoulders with Menace, he headed for Dima's Temple.
