Sharven paced near the back of the stoney cave room. He had called this meeting what felt like hours ago and none of his spies or trainees had arrived. Was he being impatient? Probably, but it didn't matter to him. Patience was not something he had much of since Scythe had died. He had so looked up to Scythe, and he felt himself still settling in to a Skull lead by Pluxiria. Not bad, just different.
"Any day now," he sighed, hoping they would all appear like magic.
[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 320px][justify][font=georgia][size=8]The she-kit had been told by her father, none other than Pluxiria and had most certainly been tested by him as well. Her paws stepped light and casual across the cavemouth where she had been told to meet, before she looked up and spotted Sharven. Thank god; Voltaire scared her. She traversed her way across, the usual sugary expression attatched reserved only for her higher uppers. The stupid peasents didn't deserve her time.
Glad to be the first one there, she smiled gracefully at Sharven and dipped her head in respect though she could've been sick; but a good impression was key no matter how stuck-up and downright stubborn you were. 'Good mor-- evening Sharven,' the chocolate torbie point mewed, 'Caelestis here for duty.'
Closely behind, Lala followed on short, white legs. Sharven had hand picked the munchkin after an encounter with none other than Jedi and his famously atrocious temper. Since her first meeting, life had remained normal, but she knew with Scythe dead, things would certainly pick up soon. She still wasn't entirely certain how she felt about this new position, but it was better than being locked away all the time.
"I'm here, too," she said, taking a seat next to Caelestis.
OOC}} Temping Lala
"Well. At least two of you have the courtesy to show," Sharven grumbled.
He sat down heavily and sighed with all the annoyance he could muster.
"You're here for a reason. We need updates on the Prisoners and you're going to learn a new language. We need you to keep secrets, so you'll be speaking in bug when you need to update myself or Pluxiria."
He was rushed and upset at the delay, knowing he might have to repeat himself once the other two arrived.
OOC}} If you haven't already, purchase a second language for your spy :)
[fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][font=georgia]Caelestis tried to hide a sneer and instead put on an innocent face. 'Bugs?' she asked, genuinly curious if not a bit confused, 'this just gets weirder.' The prospect of talking to bugs . . . she would be afraid of killing them under her paws before she found one to converse with. A small snicker burst from her lips at the thought but she sat up straighter showing that yes, indeed she would take on the responsibility.
ooc | bought it ;]
Lala scrunched up her face and shook her head. It was possible to communicate in another species' language? This seemed quite strange to her.
"Of course, I'm willing to learn anything," she said, mostly to convince herself than to affirm what Sharven had said. There was still something about him that she didn't quite trust, but Poe seemed to like him well enough. She did trust Poe, so she went along in this moment.
ooc; Sorry for my lateness! >.> finally got the comp back from mikka >DD

Sorae's eyes flashed with annoyance as she caught sight of Calistis, her tail flicking in an irritable manner. She didn't like the way that the daughter of Pluxiria acted ; royalty or not. "Of course, how else will we communicate? Anyone can overhear." She dipped her head respectfully towards Sharven, before meowing.
"Of course, Sharven. I will be willing to learn anything you teach us."
"Good." He said simply. "Now, have you heard or seen anything that need reporting?"
The next time he asked this question he would be talking in bug, that was for sure. For now, he needed to break his own rule and ask. They weren't ready yet to be in code, so their private meeting would have to be assumed as secure as possible.
[fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][font=georgia][size=8]Caelestis turned her ocean gaze to Sorae briefly her own gaze flashing with an unrecognizable look before she turned to Sharven a smile touching her lips in the sweet, sugary way. 'No, not yet Sharven,' she chimed her chocolate tortie fur bristling at the thought of assiciating herself with those desperate she-cats. 'But I'll be sure to keep a look out ~!'
Lala eyed Caelestis curiously as she spoke. Then she searched through her own memory to see if she had anything to report as well, but there was nothing that she noticed. The munchkin dipped her head slightly and offered her own reply. "I haven't seen or heard anything either, sir."
OOC// Bleh, it's been a while. Sorry I'm late and that this is short, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.
Sharven was disappointed to hear this. He was hoping for an excuse to stretch his claws, but it would have to wait. The tabby tom had been restless.
"Well, if that is all, we'll have your first lesson in bug," he said, his voice showing hints at his mood. "You will need to get used to using yous maw differently."
[ sorry about the lateness, katatonic! i haven't been on for ages Dx ]
Her eyes widened with surprise at Sharven's words. Bug? Who had ever heard of learning bug? "Excuse me, Sharven, but do you truly mean bug? How is that possibly going to help us, sir?"
