Thread: After the War (Razgriz x Lagertha)

It was in fact at that moment when Xie was punched in the face that Miwa started to come out, fully emerging when he was threatened with another. And if there was any guard that they wouldn't hope to find, it was Miwa. What is this?! he shouted, the children all instantly freezing up shoving the tray in Orgoth's lap, knocking the breakfast he was enjoying off the platter, the guard then marched up and took Li by the scruff of his neck, the little Kitsune looking absolutely petrified. Li, what is the meaning of this? Miwa demanded, Xie speaking up, He was upset that I called the Queen short...Which we know she is for a Nine-tailed. Li then shouted, He called her a runt! That's not right! Xie just scratched his cheek, unperturbed by the Kitsune's outburst as he replied, Well, no Kitsune would ever reach someone like Orgoth. Nowhere close to that none of our species are giants. But they would at least half a good half a foot on average over her. Li squirmed some more, That doesn't give you any reason to say suc but then Miwa shouted, QUIET! ALL OF YOU! Rubbing his forehead as his ears laid flat in agitation, he then replied, Orgoth, wait out here! I'm taking them back to their parents for discipline. True, he was angry with the brute for not stepping in but then, he probably though they were young ones. And knowing him, young Iron Wolves probably fought all the time for no good reason and so he would have perceived it as normal. Actually, Miwa...I believe these four had a gift for the Queen. Something I'm sure would lift her spirits after not feeling well. Orgoth then stated factually, Xie chiming He does have a point, Lord Miwa. The guard's brow twitched noticeably great, now the childred were agreeing with this...this thing! Oh, I believe I mis-spoke, Your Grace. He gave no specific time-frame for the meeting, it was just - how do the humans put it - him extending an olive branch, yes that's it. Yade replied, adding All the letter was asking was if you might be interested in holding the discussion. I have no doubt he would understand you'd fallen ill and would need time to recover. Besides, I happen to know this Kingdom is still hesitant about expanding therefore, I think he might actually be relieved you need some more time to recuperate. And this was the truth and even if it weren't, he would not force the Queen to travel outside the village for new territory. He would tell the King to politely stuff it and wait for her to be better ready. But as she said to bring in the children, Yade nodded and replied, Very well. I will go fetch them I happened to peek at what they brought, and I think you'll appreciate what they've made. A small bow later, he was out the door leaving the Queen to rest while he fetched the children and Orgoth. And what Yade would find would be something right out of a comedic play Orgoth holding two trays of food, pieces scattered on the floor and Miwa holding a one-tail by the scruff as a sign of punishment. And then he came to Xie's black eye, a disconcerted look crossing his features. Xie...You spoke out of turn again, didn't you? the elderly kitsune asked, the tiny fox-boy simply nodding affirmatively. Letting out a sigh, he just said Please...Try to stay out of Tiri'ol's field of view we'll handle this without upsetting her. And Li...I take it you're responsible? Li was about to protest, but a stern look silenced the coming words. You really should know better by now. Words cannot express my disappointment. Now Miwa, put him down. Yade commented as the young girl was lowered to the ground poor Li looked like she was about to cry. He was only trying to do what was right! Why was he being punished!? I honestly fail to see any issue, but then I am no Kitsune. then said Orgoth, standing up and forcing the trays back into Miwa's hands. He too was about to argue, but then Yade held up a hand I believe that was your original intent from the start last I checked, there was no fish on Orgoth's plate when I brought to him. And now that you spoiled his breakfast, you clean up the mess. then said Yade in rather cold tone, Miwa hufffing and taking to the boar's cage. Now then, children, the Queen will see you now. And Orgoth, you come in as well I believe our Lady could be interested in what you told me. Yade then said, the children suddenly seeming to forget the previous encounter and rushing inside. Lady Tiri'ol! We have your dress for the festival! We all worked really hard on it! Pip cried out excitedly, Riri adding We also have new sheets for Yuit! We heard he had an accident! Orgoth and Yade waited at the other side, watching the children go towards the one that loved them so much even though these four had mothers and fathers, Tiri'ol was like that lovable aunt that always spoiled her children out of deep-seated affection. What is this festival they speak of? Orgoth then asked, Yade smiling It's quite the lovely affair. Food stands, games, competitions, wares of all sorts. And the kingdom that hosts is always decorated in such a lovely way! It's honestly been years since I've seen, so in a way I envy you, Orgoth. Orgoth just looked at the Kitsune with a raised brow, the elder chuckling lightly Sorry, it's just one of those things you have to see. And given that your her bodyguard, you'll naturally be accompanying her.
