Kurai and Sion seated themselves inside the currently empty home, pulling out some of the fresh fruit they stole from the vender Kurai slew earlier. Kurai inspected his now fully healed arm, an ugly blue scar running from his wrist up to his collar bone,"Stupid bird, you should've let me kill her."
"What good would that have done? Besides, she was very young."
"We're very young."
"Good point."
The two finished their meals in silence, enjoying the quiet night while they could.

Vix snapped at Bren and narrowed her eyes. "I just wanted to help." She hissed and walked back out to the others, tail drooping slightly. She just wanted to help! How could they be so cruel? She sighed and looked at Pepper, the one she was most close to. He hooted. "I'm going back to the hideout." She said roughly, Pepper hooted to say he was as well adn they ran to the hideout, finding the door broken down. Vix gasped and shifted to herself, pulling a dagger from her belt she walked in, eyes narrowed, Pepper on her shoulder.

Bren turned back, frowning. This wasn't their place. Whether or not they wanted to help, this was between the Crickets and Andra's attacker. No one else should even be there. Kyte rested a reassuring hand on Bren's shoulder, and looked back at the hurt girl. They all waited for Lei to come. Andra continued with her story, and the group around her grew more upset as she described Kurai's methods of attack. It wasn't so much as the concept of dishonor; they may have done the same. It was the fact that he had attacked so ruthlessly.

Scales frowned. "I suppose they don't want our help." He said. Wolf saw the glimmer of his exposed scales and poked him, gesturing to his foot. "Damn it!" Scales cursed along with many other words I dare not type. Raven landed and offered him her large tunic which she had been carrying. he tied it around his foot, masking the ebony scales once mroe. He sighed and looked around a bit before thanking Wolf who just nodded. "We'd better go I suppose, they don't want our help, and I doubt they are our allies after this, probably think I did it." He growled, annoyed and began trudging back to the hideout. Raven and Wolf followed misarable.

Lorim, curious as always, looked around at the source of the string of curses, and cocked her head curiously to one side, as she saw them all fussing on about Scales' feet. She shrugged it off, and grinned as she saw two figures coming down the road, one dwarfed by the other. "Lei's here! Lei and Kito!" She got up, running towards them, and noticed that Lei was carrying two long poles, each curved at the end, and Kito was struggling with a large bundle of thick, coarse cloth. THe others looked up, grinning in relief. "About time!" one called out to the pair.

Kurai looked up from sharpening his deadly weapon,"Look, brother, more people to bother us." He grinned his insane smile, rows of ferocious dragon-like rows of teeth. Sion also looked up from putting herbs on his missing left eye, and then at his brother,"Do you ever stop thinking about killing things?I swear you were insane sometimes." They both laughed at the dark joke.Sion stood up, sheathing his dirks,"We mean you no harm if you mean us no harm, deal?"

Vix growled. "This is our house. Out" She hissed, her small pointed teeth menecing as her fox ears twitched atop her head beneith her raven locks. "I won't have any nonsense, Just, go" She said.

Kurai laughed wickedly,"What if we are to refuse?Will you...Make us?" He drummed on his sword's hilt playfully, as if this whole thing were a game to him, which it was.Sion didn't moved, his smile now gone," We're staying here for the night, like it or not. We won't cause you any trouble, we're in enough already." Kurai grunted at his brother," Always ruinin' my fun, as usual.Hmph." He sat back down roughly.

It didn't take long, before the Crickets had looped the canvas around the two poles, making a stretcher. THe curved ends made a kind of basket at one end, making it easier to keep Andra from falling off, if they dragged it on the ground. Kat patted her on her good arm, and Bren ruffled her hair, before they started back for home, half-carrying, half-dragging their hurt friend. Kito even tried dragging the makeshift strecher, but the little boy just ended up tiring himself so much in a few minutes that he curled up next to his sister and fell asleep. Lei and Jorn took up the ends after that, each easily lifting the weight.

Vix glared at the two. "I will, so I suggest you.." She threatened, or rather, started to. Scales burst in, breathing heavily, soon he was followed by Wolf and Raven. "What's going on!" He said angrily. Vix shrank back. "They broke down the door, entered our hideout without permission." Vix said softly, shrinking back further. Pepper hooted and flitted to Wolf's shoulder as Vix shifted to a fox, baring her small pointed ivory teeth at the two intruders.

"Hideout? It's an abandoned home.Easilly mistaken for unvaccent, so excuse us for intruding if it belongs to you." Sion said, now angry at being accused of intruding a hideout he had no prior knowledge of. Kurai had a familiar glint of insanity in his eyes again," We were staying here for the night simply because it looked like no one was here, so if you're going to kill us for intruding, try us.I'd love to." He laughed. Sion looked uncomfortably at his brother.

Scales looked at the two, his eyes narrowed. "Go. I don't care why you're here, just go." He said roughly as a scale caught the moonlight and glinted sharply. Vix saw this but did nothing to cover it, just stared at the two intruders. Wolf glared at them, his shaggy black hair ruffled by a slight breeze, his yellow eyes narrowed to slits.

When they were all safely home, the group found a few more of their fellows in their hideout, all anxiously waiting for any news that would explain some of the information on the note Lei had left for them. They were all relieved to find that Andra was safe, and as they listened to her tell her story, Lei took Jorn, Kat, and Kyte aside. She'd have been talking to Bren, as well, except for that he was busy doing what he oculd to heal Andra. When she was sure no one was listening, Lei turned to the other three. "You all heard her description of her attackers, right?" They all nodded, and Lei's dark eyes narrowed to slits. "We're going after her, the four os us." She turned to Jorn. "Can you sniff them out?" He nodded. "The one who did the damage left his scent all over her." Lei nodded, and led them to the storage room, where those who wanted a weapon coudl take one, before leading them out in to the night.

Kurai stopped laughing and said firmly,"No." His smile dissapeared, and his eyes looked dangerous as he rested his hand on his sword's hilt. "May we stay just for the night? We've been sleeping outside for months, and we'd like to stay warm tonight, seeing as it's going to rain." Sion said clamly, trying his best to avoid conflict twice in one day.

Scales looked at each of the members of the Dragon's Bane in turn. Pepper hooted an ok while Wolf nodded, his eyes still narrowed. Vix's tail twitched but she did not nod nor did she shake her head. Raven stepped forward, eyed their wings, and nodded, whilst folding her own to her back. "You may stay one night. On one condition. You cannot enter the room which we are in, ok?" He asked, scratching one foot with the other nervously.
