He hesitated, then reluctantly stepped out of the shadows. His eyes darted around warily, legs tensed to run if they tried to take his herbs. He had abnormally long legs, and his purple eyes seemed to go on forever. He dipped his head to the Volmyr- Vex, if he remembered correctly. They had a strange aura to them; very calm. They clearly knew what they were doing, and he wasn’t to sure if he trusted that. However, he did trust his own speed. If anyone tried anything, he would be nothing but a puff of dust on the forest floor.

Vex observed Sobena, then at Vlade before turning to nod back at the Braccus. "Agreed. We will need to move quickly. I have a cave up on a cliff that is semi hard to get to. I have food and clean water. I also have herbs that may help.", she says softly, her ears swiveling as she tracks every noise she could hear. "We will have to go on foot for now but both me and Hurricane will have to fly you two up to the cave unless either of you are very good climbers.", she says after a second thought.

The Dire stepped back as Hurricane took charge. Every movement she made was gentle and cautious as she lifted Vlade up by the scruff of his neck and used her wing to guide his body onto her back. She found herself hoping her brother would be alright up there. It was better than just sitting around here waiting to be targeted by the next Consumed that came lurking around, though she hoped he stayed out of it until they got to the cave. None of them needed him to become fully aware of his surroundings right now and freak out due to thinking he was being carted off by some rogue wolf. The Lupin did make a few grunts as he was being moved, but other than that, he still didn't do much more than shake every now and again.

Sobena nodded at the Bracchus and Vex's words. It was definitely time to go. "If you need a break on the trek there, Hurricane, I can take over carrying him for a little while." she added. She didn't want to seem like she wasn't willing to help. This was for her brother after all. Hurricane had already done so much, plus Vex also seemed open to sharing not only her home, but whatever she could to help. The Dire didn't quite know how she'd thank both Volmyrs at this point, but if everything went well she, and her brother, would find a way to repay their kindness and generosity.

"Alright, let's go. We're ready." she said, almost too enthusiastically. The idea of maybe getting to fly was an exciting prospect. She didn't want to say if she could climb or not just yet. She wanted to judge the distance of the cave herself before she made that call. However, she always loved flying. Her Aunt Samara always used to take her on little flight excursions when she was a pup, you know, before she grew into her Direwolf muscle.

She couldn't help but eye the Bracchus. The way he worded things was... well, frankly, strange. She didn't want to seem standoffish or rude, but something about him seemed off. Sobena decided to keep a close watch on him. Maybe she was just reading him wrong. That was always a possibility. But there was just something about him that made her feel uneasy. "So, what's your name anyways?" she asked the jet black Bracchus, "I'm Sobena. That's my brother, Vlade." She titled her head in the direction of the unconscious Lupin on Hurricane's back, "He'd introduce himself if he was able." She chuckled at her own joke, but quickly gulped back her laughs. 'This was no time to joke, Sobena.' she thought to herself now feeling foolish about trying to lighten the mood.

He dipped his head at Sobena’s question, glancing at the unconscious Lupin. “I am Torrent- ahem. Doom. I am Doom.”

He shuffled his paws awkwardly, head hurting. He needed to take his numbing herb, as he had forgotten to this morning. There was a limited amount of it, and he hadn’t taken it in a few days.

A stench reached his nose, adding to his headache. The awful, powerful aura of Consumed creatures was close, and there was many of them. He closed his eyes tight, then opened them again, remembering his company. Sobena was giving him an odd look…

He shifted his gaze to the Volmyrs. One had Vlade on their back, whilst the other was shuffling their wings. They were clearly ready to go, and so was he. This headache was getting unbearable.

((OoC: Was going to wait for Cybertronic to reply again before posting, but this small interaction blurb kept playing on repeat in my head. xD))

Sobena found herself staring at Doom. Not on purpose, but more so for the fact that his name was, well, Doom. She had already been getting a strange feeling from him, now his name made her take pause. Her brain working a mile a minute, she had so many questions. She realized she had been staring at Doom when the Bracchus began to shuffle his paws and squinting his eyes tight in what could only be described as discomfort. When he noticed her watching he seemed to swiftly shift his gaze to look back at the Volmyrs. Sobena felt guilty now. It was very rude to stare. More so that she was already judging this poor fellow when all they knew he had it worse off than they did. "A-are you okay?" she quietly asked Doom, taking a small step closer to him.

He blinked, eyeing Sobena. “I’m fine.”

((OoC: No, you're fine. Like I told Cybertronic earlier, do what makes you comfortable. I've RPed with all kinds of literacy levels and styles, so as long as you're having fun that's all that matters. I have been trying to even lessen my replies. I sometimes write a bit too much, I think. xD But really, this will be my last reply until Cybertronic gets to this. They may be busy and I don't want to get too far ahead of them.))

(Omg! I'm sorry! I didn't get pinged! Idk why! I am subbed though.)

(That’s weird- wonder why it didn’t ping you! Wb though.)

Doom swiftly followed, now anxious. He could smell the horrid stench of Consumed creatures. He kept to the back of the group, allowing Sobena to stay near her brother. His ears swiveled around, listening for any Consumed near them. None so far.

((OoC: No worries! Figured you were probably busy with RL or something. But yes, welcome back! ^-^))
