It was good to be out viking again. New scents, new sights, new creatures...it was a good break from the routine of pride life. Nafsi-kataa was glad she had spoken to her captain about Jokull, too. He was acquitting himself wonderfully so far! Followed orders, spoke up only when he felt it needed, and though he wasn't the most sociable lion, he was good to have at one's back. Sturdy, quick, and skilled. And the next day would be the true test. She had a feeling he wouldn't fail. Though him nudging her caused her to look at him oddly until he spoke. Oh! Well.
"Certainly. Hopefully a friend and not someone who disliked you." She stood and stretched, motioning for him to lead the way.

Ani'mus nudged his sister along, keeping an ear out for the bastards who had tried to take them prisoner. Tried to take them as slaves. It seemed no one was following them, though, which was a relief. It meant they were safe. Or, well as safe as one could be in the rogue lands.
Sweet Elua, he missed the ruins of his birthland and the islands of the Ardhi. Ani'ma seemed to as well, but...well, she also seemed happy to simply meet new creatures and see new places. He loved his twin, but dear Companions was she odd.
"I know that scent!" Ani'ma practically ran forward, grin on her pale muzzle. "I scent Lady Gaelle's mate!" Oh hells. Ani'mus ran to catch up with her. of COURSE they had to run into that a*****e!

"Not...exactly a friend. But certainly not a foe, either. Gaelle would certainly be glad to see them." It didn't even enter his mind that, if the scents belonged to who he thought they did, they wouldn't want to come 'home'. To the nobles they once served. "They were...rather like the 'thralls' the pride keeps, though harsh treatment of servants in the Ardhi was greatly frowned upon. Gaelle is especially fond of the female of the siblings, Ani'ma. She found the poor girl as a cub, lost and alone and half-starved." He remembered the tale well, as he'd been one of the first to hear from his future mate after that.
"Hopefully, her brother is with her, and thus she isn't half-starved. He was a good hunter. Very smart and resourceful." Though it was likely the two had been caught by their target, quite obviously.

'Ma shook her head, still absolutely giddy to have found their lord, and to hear their lady was well, too. She'd missed them so, and had wished they hadn't been separated in all the chaos. "We are quite well, Lady Nafsi-kataa! They didn't want to 'damage the goods', so we're well, aside from some minor injuries 'Mus sustained. They've almost healed fully, however! Thank you for your gracious concern!" As if to confirm this, her twin nodded.
"Where is home now?" He wanted to make sure his sister would be safe, would be cared for. Jokull and Gaelle had been kind masters, far kinder than many in the aristocracy of the Ardhi, but he knew nothing of the home they had found for themselves after the collapse. "You know why I worry." He loved his twin dearly, but she was...too sweet for her own good. He didn't want to risk someone taking advantage of that when none of them were looking.

"I am glad you two are relatively unharmed, and they shall pay for trying to take you captive." Now the viking was personal. "Come, let us return to our camp for the night. I can tell you of our new home there. No harm shall come to you two with our band. They're good males and females all, strong of paw and mind." He motioned for the pair to follow he and Nafsi. "Even once we're back home, you two will not be harmed. One doesn't touch another of the Storm's thralls." Dear Epyon, Gaelle would be glad to see the pair of them. She tended to fret, and she was fond of the twins. Hells, so was he. They were good workers, 'Ma sweet and dear, 'Mus strong and not afraid to bare his claws and teeth in defense of his lord and lady.

"Jokull is my friend, and any thrall of his I know he would want well-looked after." She looked to the blue male and grinned before looking back to the hybrids as they began to move. "I can explain as we walk. I'm better at talking than your lord is." They sounded so very like the servants in the Fire Nation, before it all fell apart. So formal! At least the female, anyways. "As Jokull said, I am Nafsi-kataa. I am a reaver of the Myrsky Syntynyt, the Stormborn. If you come home with us, you would be his thralls, his servants, which I suspect is nothing new to you." She chuckled, shaking her head. "The group that took you? We were planning on raiding them in the morn, to wipe them out and take their treasures for our own."
