Soot

Interesting. Nothing more was said about the farsight spot. Who would look, who would take it apart.

She extended a rear foot and started cleaning it as she thought. Perhaps her person would go there again and she would look again. It would be curious to scent if any had come since her last attempt when trails were cold.

It was a difficult place to reach due to its distance. Perhaps that was why few here other than her had actually gone there. As far as she knew, except, perhaps by some of the large hunters she saw there it was unclaimed. Not the People. At least none in this parliament or those she'd run across did. And there were Dogs. Dogs and Burdens. Happily the Burdens showed some intelligence and generally had the Dogs held on strong ropes.

While she might not be skilled in some of the investigations and areas others were, there were Burdens none claimed who might need aid against these goings on. She would spend time watching over them and looking.

She cast a glance over at her perchmate, the stretching newcomer. "Investigations and warding, mmrrrr," she said meant mostly for her ears. "Perhaps something to chat about in a sunbeam at some point, if you wish." Her tone, in sharp contrast to her earlier statement to another, was laced with curiosity and a hint of warmth before she added in a more amused tones, "Males."

>Seeker-On-High<

"If anyone wants, I know the way to the black pool by paw. It may be best to check it before the sun warms the residue the spirit might have left away."

He leaped down from his perch, landing a little heavily in the playfield sand. He shook himself right and started away, pausing after a bit to look to see if any actually did follow.

Shadow

He gracefully dropped down from his perch, pacing after Seeker. Perhaps something would entertain him this night after all...

Bringer


The heavier cat also dropped down to the ground, if not quite as gracefully as the other two felines, and followed Seeker and Shadow.

Tiger-Lily



She tilts her head on one side as Soot makes a proposition and nods her agreement.

"Be happy to. Meanwhile shall we go keep an eye on the boys?"

She too looks amused as she turns to gracefully follow in the wake of the larger toms, her head and tail erect as she pads silently out of the playground.

Soot

"Most assuredly," she agrees and follows as well.

Terror

He did not know what everyone was heading off to do, but since all of them were doing it he decided it must be important. He rose, shook his main (causing the red tag on his collar to click-clack), and followed along, eventually padding along beside Soot and the newcomer with the blue eyes.

"I missed your introduction. I am Terror of the Alley," he said in a low but genial voice in contrast to his size, then nodded a greeting to Soot.

>Seeker-On-High<

He tried not to start, but turned back and headed on as if nothing was strange. Like other cats following his lead was normal.

But it felt all sorts of wrong. He could give advice or report what he'd seen, that wasn't the same as leading anyone to battle. And he wasn't at all sure when it had changed out from under his paws, like a branch that suddenly got all flexible and wobbly.

But there was no turning back now. Too many eyes on his tail to let it droop in worry.

Tiger-Lily



"I'm Tiger-Lily, pleased to meet you."

She can imagine her mother looking on in approval. She feels she is holding her own despite being around larger Toms in the main, Soot being the exception.. and remaining polite, most important.

"I am new to the area, just starting to learn my way around. Jezzabella invited me to the Parliament. I am a Warder."

The last essentially provides her credentials for being here.

Soot

"There was a pool, Seeker found," she said after politely touching noses with Terror. "Some are seeking if the signs left by the spirit within it are still there. Hence the walk together of those who might not normally be such." Her whiskers twitched with amusement.

"Others mentioned flying fae they've seen. Or a warded circle containing a powerful seeking fueled by a sentient death."

Terror

"Always good to have a Warder," he rumbled. "Welcome."

He nodded as Soot told him what he'd missed. "A sentient death? That is troubling. I suppose spirits are to be expected in this turn of the season and must be dealt with, but a sentient... is there any call to action on that?"

Soot

Her ears flattened slightly in unhappiness. "It was stated but... I heard nothing that said what would be done or even if the working would be broken."

"Jezzebella did say upon hearing something that Sable said, the will not disrupt the working yet as more could be learned. But I heard nothing that said what the call to action on that would be. The other two things were action described by Sable."

Terror

A low rumble escaped him as Soot reported that nothing seemed to be planned to identify what or who had done such a deed. "Who found the circle? I would like to ask them more about it."

Soot

She ducked her head politely saying quietly, "I did."
