THEY BOTH REACHED FOR THE GUN — the sanctuary, apology

the hound isn't usually petty, but what she did, to him, was perhaps unforgivable. he could have understood her more if she had come with her concerns to him privately, voicing them when they were alone. but she had said her insults to his face, and to ryuu's, something he couldn't wrap his mind around. he was beginning to understand her personality, so it shouldn't have been as surprising, but it had still taken him aback, and not in a good way. he had chided her like a child- him, to the one that had founded the sanctuary in the first place! the irony was not lost on him, but he felt no pity or sympathy for her, not in this moment. perhaps it alarms him, the rate at which he is losing it. he knows that it isn't entirely this body's fault- but, still, emotional stress demands an outlet.

he has been whistling the entire time they have been walking, a happy tune to a tense environment. really, ryuu hadn't earned chica's distrust in his eyes, or her insults. it was fine if she had a problem with the group as a whole, but why blame one individual? in the end, he knew it was pride thing, he just didn't care enough to acknowledge it much. "this is fun, isn't it?" his soft spoken voice is cheery for once, eerily so. "ryuu, chica has something to say ta ya."

･ﾟ ✦ ° YOU'RE THE SWEETEST CHAMPAGNE - in the light of things, ryuusaki loved his home and whether chicagocrimes was aware or not, the cartel had most definitely changed for the better. he did understand that, perhaps, people were just too arrogant to accept "simple" concepts like the truth. ryuu wouldn't blame them-- he thought the entire fiasco with the prostitute division was dumb and frustrating too.

the kishu inu had no idea that lucien had forced chicagocrimes to come all the way to the cartel to apologize to him. it would certainly be something new, as ryuu has scarcely received apologies (sincere or not) in his two years of living. a call of his name and the familiar scent of the sanctuary greeted his nose as he oh-so coincidentally placed himself near the border, eyeing the land beyond his home with an apprehensive frown on his face. the voice itself was familiar, he knew it to be the sanctuary's leader, lucien. and someone named "chica" had something to say to him? how quaint. however odd it was to be requested personally, the surgeon would heed the call and make his way over. ryuusaki almost blended in with the snow with his stark white fur-- the only things making him visible was perhaps his abundance of accessories.

he offers lucien and chicagocrimes an obligatory smile in greeting, soft and pleasant. there wasn't an real meaning behind the smile, of course, apart from him just being courteous. "a-ah, hello... you two." his gaze shifts from the hellhound to chicagocrimes, who he remembered quite vividly. surprisingly, his expression doesn't sour but the thoughts in his head did as he looked expectant of the caracal.

Lucky had informed him about the new associate they had started a partnership with all thanks to Ryusaki. He couldn't deny he not was proud over what his boyfriend had done something he for sure wasn't going to ignore already having the perfect reward in mind once he put up the next meeting as well to Lucky how had succeed on his part as well not to mention everything he had done while himself had been laying in the death bed.

However, what he not had been told about was the conflict Ryusaki had been forced to deal with during his visit to The Sanctuary and now he might found it out as the leader had appeared alongside one of his own clanmates. The tighound would take his approach closer to stand beside the surgeon and would even let his fur brush a bit towards his boyfriend while gaze was focused on the two visitors. There was not much he know about the clan itself but he always made sure to do his homework to at least know who run the place. What he had gathered and learn that male was the leader over that clan making sure to take everything in to remember by. The hardest part was the name. Luci something right?. Ouch, names why did people even have them for?. It was just making everything more unecessery difficult for the Godfather, he how never bothered to remember others names unless that had left a god impression from them, or a bad one all consider the situation.

" Greetings. " he would say simple while wondering what they needed his boyfriend for. He know Ryuu well enough to notice he not was comfortable with this two present or in this case one of them. If they had done something to hurt Ryuu a apology would be the last of thier problems. For now he remain silence as the Godfather waited to hear what they had come here for and what this 'Chica' had come here to say. Introducing himself could come afterwards once he had a better view on this whole situation.
