Welcome to Gaia! ::

Michie landed lightly on a broad limb of a tree over-looking the lake. He rubbed his paws into his eyes, still slightly drowsy from the long slumber he'd only just awoken from.

He wasn't quite sure what was going on, but he was sure that if he stayed put, he would find a member or two of his tribe eventually.

Yudoku gave a small polite nod at Ari's greeting but said nothing more. Kin'iro on the other hand gave more of a small bow. "Good evening, Ari. Everyone," the shaman greeted with a smile, looking briefly at all faces old and new before taking a seat by the lake with her sister. They seemed to have arrived during a busy time, so further conversation would have to wait until later.

Unlike her sister, Yudoku didn't only briefly glance at everyone before turning back to the modiphim spectacle in the center. No, the huntresses' eyes were much more calculating than that as she looked at each present modi in turn. She felt as if she was missing something. That wounded fox... he's one of Ari and Kazuki's children, isn't he? Actually, where is Kazuki? Are the rest of their children around somewhere? It was a curious thing for sure.

Kin'iro noticed Kavi not long after Yudoku had, and immediately sat back upright. She wanted to walk straight over and check on the other fox's condition, but at the same time she did not wish to disturb the visit with this stranger. Settling for a silent solution, the golden vixen looking pointedly between Ari and Kavi, trying to ask with her eyes whether it would be alright for her to check on him or not. Hopefully Ari would notice.

Nato was hit with a wave of emotions as he and Mitora arrived on the scene. He was filled with joy upon seeing the sisters Yudoku and Kin'iro, especially Kin'iro as she was the other shaman in their tribe. Of course, Vitali was there too, attaching himself to his daughter. But Nato would have to deal with him later. The interesting small fox Michie had also arrived back as well as a new 'Phim Ari seemed to be addressing. But most importantly, there was Kavi, who was hurt.

The male shaman wasted no time in tending to his wounded tribe member. After a few gentle pokes and prods, Nato determined that Kavi's ankle wasn't broken but it was a pretty bad sprain. All that needed to be done was rub a few good herbs on it, wrap it with some leaves or vines, and have Kavi stay off of it for a few days.

"It's nothing to serious and won't take me long to handle. Kavi will be fine in no time." Nato said to his elder confidently. He knew how Ari could get when he worried and that was the last thing Nato wanted. "Not that you have to be told this, Kavi, but I want you to rest and stay off your paws until I get back." He couldn't picture the younger male getting up, but it was always better to be safe than sorry. "Kin'iro." Nato said, turning to the younger shaman. "You still remember what leaves and vines we use to wrap up injuries?" He smiled, hoping she would take the hint that he was asking for her help. The process of tending to Kavi would be much quicker if he had her help.

"Hi." Mitora said with a light giggle at her mates awkwardness. "And I missed you." She said smiling at him. She scooted herself a little closer to him and wrapped her tail around his as she watched her father work. "You arrived on a rather interesting night. The tribe isn't usually like this." She turned her attention back to Tali while she spoke. "Although I'm glad it is like this." She added.

So many new foxes were coming out of their hiding. And a 'phim even made an appearance! Tonight was going to be a good night, she could tell.

((So, once this meeting gets started, when would be a good time to introduce kits? XD))

It held back near the shadows, at the edges of the gathering. It could see that its tribe was busy, its elder especially, and it did not want to interrupt him while he was taking care of the tribe.

But it had been sent to help him, while the other elder was away. Should it approach? Should it stay? Approach? Stay? Go? Stay?

It could see that there were many others who were not speaking with the elder, but it did not think it would be proper to speak to those first. It should introduce itself to the elder first, should it not?

Or should it move forward, so that the elder could at least see it was there, and wait until the elder was done speaking to the modiphim before introducing itself?

Finally, it decided that was the best plan, and so it took a few steps forward, so that it was illuminated in the moonlight, pale silver light glinting off of silver claws and horns, but absorbed by its black, black hide.

Michie perked up at Yudoku's words. He was hungry, and he hadn't realized just how much until someone mentioned food.

Quickly hopping from his branch, he trotted over to the female, and smiled up at her shyly. "I am, actually. I could help you hunt, if that's what you were planning?" He also wanted to get away from all the adult talking; he wasn't much good at all that.

Michie glanced up to see where Yudoku was looking, and spotted the shimmering figure as well. It was so big, he unconsciously stepped behind her, and peaked out at it. Once he was nudged forward, he glanced up at her for a moment, then nodded and started walking in a direction away from the guardian. "A rabbit sounds really good," he replied, while sniffing a bit at the air.

Yudoku paused when she was addressed, and turned her gaze onto the dual-toned vixen. He has news to share? Wouldn't have known from his silence, she thought dryly to herself, but in response to Anjefy she gave a small nod. "Very well then. The hunt will wait," she said simply, turning back and padding over to her previous seat. She was partially curious as to what this news might be, but she still wasn't entirely comfortable just sitting there among the group. I do wish my sister would hurry up with those vines...
