Thread: After the War (Razgriz x Lagertha)

Thank you Miwa. You are always the best to me. Tiri'ol smiled watching him, she sighed, moving to lay down again and close her eyes. Though she could hear a bit of commotion outside her door, no doubt everyone was worried. It wasn't like her to not feel well, but they knew they could rely on Miwa and the other guards to take care of the village. Huh? Tiri'ol had easily closed her eyes and fallen asleep only to be woken up a few minutes later by Yade. She kept her eyes open, not wishing to move from the pillow as she looked at door where his voice was coming from. Oh.. It took Tiri'ol a moment to register what he was talking about as she sighed. When does he want to meet? I'd prefer if I could feel better but it's inconvenient to him I'll come before I'm well. Tiri'ol knew she couldn't hold off on this sort of thing. It was too dire of a situation for everyone to delay such things if he wished to see her sooner. Over the years she had gotten used to pushing her to the edge, pretending she was fine in front of others when she just wanted to collapse. This moment and talk seemed no different then other times. The young kitsune? It took Tiri'ol a moment to realize who he was talking about and she smiled softly. You can let them inside. They won't be much trouble. ------------------------- Young ones? Li looked at him, her brow twitching. Pip looked at her and backed up a bit. Riri hid behind Pip and Xie just shook his head. It's probably out height Li, he's not used to kitsune. Xie snorted, annoyed. So! Because we are small and adorable we look like children to you? Li raised a tiny meatball fist at him. I will have you know I am 240 years old! I am not a youngster I am a full grown one tailed kitsune! Li huffed. Pip bounced, gripping her shoulder. Li glared at him. Can't you see we are having a serious conversation here! Li, it was an honest mistake. He probably though all kitsune got tall and big like Miwa and Queen Tiri'ol. Pip's ears were down, trying to console her. Oh, I was going to have fun watching you try to take down the giant Li. Too bad Pip ruined my fun. Xie sighed, disappointed. T-That's not funny Xie! He could kill us all with his foot! Riri was shaking, avoiding eye contact with Orgoth. If I might explain. We are some of the few kitsune that fled with Queen Tiri'ol and Miwa from our village. Actually, most of us are older than the queen herself. Xie explained yawning. Yes! So you should respect your elders! Li snorted, angry. Sorry mister Orgoth, most of us one tails are very sensitive about the way we look. We know we aren't as big or powerful like the other kitsune...This is as tall as any of us will get... Pip said shrugging. Queen Tiri'ol is even short for a nine tail, but she's the last one alive. No other kitsune will get as tall as her, though an eight tail might get close since she is considered a runt. Xie spoke matter of factly. What did you call the Queen Xie? A runt? Not on my watch! Li threw the basket down on the ground, it bounced and remained upward. She stomped over to Xie who only blinked at her unafraid. It's true she is a runt, Li. The Queen would admit such things herself. Xie shrugged Li grabbed his baset, throwing it down next to her own before punching him in the face. Xie fell to the ground, black eye and all. Don't you ever call the Queen a runt again! She's our Queen Xie! Learn to respect her! Li would have been breathing fire if she could have. Li, Xie does respect the queen.. Pip tried to explain. You know he's always been a brainiac, that's why he takes care of the book working for the Queen sometime. The Queen still taught us to act better than that..Li is right, Pip. Riri said softly. Xie rubbed his blackened eye, sighing. Sorry. I will learn better to hold my facts. Li is right, I've been told before my tongue can offend. Xie got to his feet brushing himself off. I don't take care of the Queen's books, I take care of our library, the books we collected after the purges. Xie straightened his kimono out. Yade should be back soon now, no? Xie asked. He better! Or I'm going to give you another black eye! Li threatened, still full of energy.
