KISS ME ON THE LIPS, OUR OWN LITTLE SECRET

I WANNA BE ADDICTED TO YOUR PRISON

silver/grey lupurca with charcoal black points - Commander of the Exiles

'Eisuke... I won't, I promise."

Jimins hands were warm and soft, and he was reminded of the kiss the other boy had given him during their game of spin the bottle. Was every part of him just a manifestation of of those two things, soft and warm? Eisuke wouldn't have complained if such turned out to be the truth. He lt Jimin link his fingers through their own, running the rough pad of his thumb along their skin as the younger Commander tried to reassure him. And it did. It helped to hear it first hand, to see the sincerity and truth reflected in their eyes as they gazed at him with that worried expression. It just wasn't enough to totally stave off the inscurities gnawing away at him.

"Wh-why do you think I would leave you? i never would." Jimin replied, and when he shifted closer to Eisuke, the older boy couldn't help himself. He craved the comfort and closeness that only they seemed able to provide, and he untangled one of his hands to gently place it at the others waist, a quiet but possessive gesture of affection. He had no idea how to say the things he wanted to, only knew that inside of him was a torrent of emotions that he could barely comprehend let alone convey to another person. And yet he knew it was important to try. It's what he'd come here for, to communicate, to make them understand just how badly he didn't want to lose them.

"Not even a day... he muttered, shaking his head mournfully. "I thought we were so close, and he left me alone the first chance he got..."

And there were no words that could convince him otherwise. Even if Debiru had been thrilled not to be a slave anymore, if they had really cared about Eisuke wouldn't there had been more confliction? Wouldn't he have at least had to think about it a little bit? Eisuke would have. He would have been torn and unsure, would have had to think it over before doing anything hasty. Not Deb though. It had been as easy as kicking a rock out of his path.

Could Jimin really promise he wouldn't do the same thing, that the intense feelings Eisuke felt for him wouldn't be turned against him at some point? "And now, Cole wants to take you away from me, too." he continued, words holding the bitterness he felt but only for a moment. " What am I supposed to do, Jiminie? Everytime your near me my heart feels so full that it could burst. How am I suppose to be okay when we can't be like this anymore? There's still so much..."

His voice trailed off, failing him entirely, but it was true. There was still so much more that Eisuke wanted, an entire road he hadn't walked yet. He wanted to cuddle under cool sheets, to brush their hair out of their eyes when it got in the way, to share a real kiss. And that was just the surface, because really there was an entire lifetime worth of things that he wanted to experience with the light-haired boy. And after everything they'd been through and the friendship that had developed between them, he had to know if any of that was even a possability. Was he chasing some fantasy he would never be able to grab? Was his time with Jimin limited to just these fleeting moments of want that they could never give into?

Maybe he was crazy, but it felt like maybe Jimin wanted those things too. Everytime jimin smiled and blushed at him, or when they sat so closely that they were practically glued at the hip, the way the younger teen had wrapped their arms around his neck just to give him a peck on the cheek. It had to mean something, right? God, please let it mean something..

His blue-grey eyes fell away from the warm amber one looking back at him, afraid to see what might be there, knowing it could be anything from disapointment to frustration to even pity. Coles ring around their neck was a promise wasn't it? A promise that one day they would be together. He knew there couldn't be room for him in an equation like that, and yet he clung to Jimin as if he would float off into space if he let go, knowing it might very well be the last time that the boy ever let him get this close again.

"What am I supposed to do if I can't love you anymore, Jimin?"

What the hell?? Eisuke had been stopped in his track by a myriad of smell that were conflicting to him. On one hand he could clearly smell Cory, and yet their scent was entirely wrong, changed on a genetic level that he was familiar with. It was almost... feminine? Half curious and half concerned, the lupurca would pad off in the direction of it only to find it Colere and some husky he'd never met befo- oh, wait. "Cory?" he'd call, glancing them over before gesturing to their new form. "This is new. You, uh, okay?"

If it was none of his business- which he would only accept hearing from his Leaders maw and not their Medic- then he would leave it be and just head down to the cafeteria like he'd been planning to do, even though he still wasn't very hungry after the drama that had gone on. But Cory was someone the canine had grown a sense of loyalty and fondness toward, and there was a scent of distress coming off what seemed to be a very pregnant warden, and it felt wrong of him to ignore it. After all, Cory had tried to help him back on the beach, the least he could do was offer his support to them now if something was wrong.

HATE IN MY HEART, LOVE IN MY MIND

Eisuke was one of the first people who would turn away an outsider to better their own people, but that didn't make hearing Corys words any easier. The girl was innocent in all this, not some enemy warrior or sabateur, but the submissive personal property of one of their own. It reminded him of the numerous times Debiru had been horribly wounded, and he knew that he would have bared his fangs against them all if they'd tried to refuse the boy some sort of medical attention after being mauled and abused in such a way. Cory had a point, though. They couldn't waste herbs, not when there were so many raids and attacks coming their way. Still, that didin't make it much better. 'You'll have to look for them beyond our borders, whatever herbs you need. If you can't find them... Drop her on a proclans border. They won't leave her to die, and you can go back to collect her another time if she pulls through." he would say as he paused beside Cory, letting Jimin and Lucus look the small shewolf over. It was the only advice he could really offer. No issues letting another clan use their herbs, right?

"There's no such thing as 'personal herbs'." Eisuke would reply, rebuking Cole and not caring if the other snapped at him for it. What was that supposed to mean anyways, that Cole went and gathered or grew a supply that he didn't share with his clan, that were just for him and whoever he felt like sharing with? " And maybe he wouldn't see her again, but that would be a decision for Lucas to make- if he can't find the herbs."

Eisuke knew that in the same situation he would have rather given Deb up to a proclan so that he could live rather then selfishly let him waste away, and that was coming from a man who was impulsive in many ways, especially when it came to his emotions. Glancing back to Cory with a nod to show him he indeed did hve his back, he'd turn his gaze to Jimin, who he knew would ctually consider his words rather than argue. "There's no law saying you and Cole can't help Lucas find what you need in neutral territory, he doesn't have to do it alone." He knew Jimin wanted to help, and he was allowed to- just not with the Exiles supplies.

MAY MY LEAP NOT BE A FALL

Having been dragged along to join his friend in their little livestream, Eisuke wasn't doing much. Sitting lazily in the background where he woldn't get in his friends way, the young man was on the floor with his back to a wall looking at something on his phone. Pyrr had decided that he needed to stop hiding himself away after what was now being refered to as 'the incident', and so the dark haired boy had begrudgingly come along to keep the other company.

He couldn't paint or do anything artistic to save his life, not that he'd really given anything a try. Music was the only thing he had a real interest in, and while he utterly lacked the vocals to be a singer he had to admit that he could produce a pretty sick beat when he put his mind to it.

"Don't forget the happy little trees." he called from his place in the back of the room, a small half smirk of amusement settling on his lips as he quoted mr Bob Ross himself.

MY BLOOD, SWEAT, & TEARS

MY BODY, MIND, & SOUL

silver/grey lupurca with charcoal black points - Commander of the Exiles

Eisuke had spent hours stressing over this this moment. He had run the scenarios at least a dozen times but not once had he allowed himself to go in depths down a route like this. He had hoped, obviously, had gone over all the little details and hints that he'd thought Jimin was giving off, but this.. It was more than he could have believed was possible.

It all happned a bit too fast for his sluggish brain, and it took a second to realie that he wasn't being reject. As slender arms wrapped themselves around his neck and jimin pressed his chin against his shoulder, he felt like his heart might just beat right out of his chest. Was this real? Did it mean what he thought it did?

"D-do you mean it, that you love me? Because... I really love you too...I love you alot, Eisuke."

His arms tightened around the boy, and as much as he tried to push it all down he could feel his eyes growing wet as he was completely overtaken by it all. [i]You love me back? he thought to himself, not trusting his voice to hold strong under the circumstances, and so he simply nodded against them. There were no words that could describe how happy he felt in that moment, and if he could have frozen time so that they could stay like this forever then he probably would have. He'd thought that he knew what it was to feel alive, to feel happy, but there was nothing in his life that could compare to the sheer relieve and love he felt right then and there. Yes, he had lost someone dear to him, but he had learned from the mistakes he'd made with Deb. He wouldn't let the same thing happen with Jimin, not ever.

Finally he found his voice again, clearing his throat to drive away the lump that was settled in it. This all felt so surreal to him, but if it was a dream it was one he didn't want to wake from. Jimin hadn't rejected him, had promised not to leave him and had even confessed their own feelings. It was almost too much for him to register. "I mean it, I swear." he promised, pressing a kiss against the top of their head as if to punctuate his words. All of this was so new to him, but he'd wanted it for so long that he was willing to push his luck.

"I'm already yours, Jimin, and I want you to be mine. I swear I'll make you happy." he murmured, ducking his head to nuzzle against the boy in his arms. He would give them anything he wanted, would do anything he asked. He supposed the word he was looking for was 'boyfriends', but he was too nervous to say it out loud. He knew this was a lot to dump on his friend in one night, and he didn't want to push too much when he'd already been given something so precious. He just wanted them to know that the option was there. Jimin already had Eisuke. His body, mind, and soul were theirs to keep. And whenever they wanted, they could be his too.

"M'sorry for waking you up so late. Just had to talk to you." he'd add, though he didn't make much of an effort to disentangle himself from the other. He was quite comfortable just as he was, even though he knew he'd have to leave soon. Cole wouldn't be fooled by the NPC for long, after all.

KISS ME ON THE LIPS, OUR OWN LITTLE SECRET

I WANNA BE ADDICTED TO YOUR PRISON

silver/grey lupurca with charcoal black points - Commander of the Exiles

Yeah, it was all pretty overwhelming for him. He wished he could have been stronger in that moment, that he could have kept the usual mask of calm confidence in place, but it was a persona he couldn't keep up with right then, the mask washed away in the floods of his emotions. That was okay though, right? It scared him letting his vulnerable side out like this, but he knew he could trust Jimin. They would never mock or hurt him when he was like this, and that realization let him draw in a deep, steadying breath when the other spoke.

"I-I'm all yours too, I promise I am."

It was all so much, but in the best way. His inexperience with emotions in general let him in awe at how full his heart felt, like it could burst right out of his chest at any moment.It was nothing like the numbing, hollow grief that left him feeling like there was a massive hole inside of him. In fact, it filled that space and more, washing over any of of the wounds that marred his soul and soothing them, like waves washing over a fire.

"Eisuke.. does this make us.."

He swallowed his nervousness at those words, unwilling to let the chance slip him by. Maybe it was selfish to just claim him like that without really asking if it's what he wanted as well, but it was already established that Eisuke could be a selfish person when it came to his emotions. His entire world in that instant was just Jimin, and he didn't want that to stop. He wanted to be like this all the time, and so the word "Yes." lept off his lips before he could stop it or even ask Jimin if that's what he wanted too. It seemed like it was. He wouldn't be hugging him back and confessing his love if he didn't, right? He hoped he wasn't wrong.

More than anything though, he wished this didn't have to end. He loathed the idea of pulling away from this embrace and leaving this behind, knew he would have to return to an empty cell that he probably wouldn't find sleep in- not when his mind and heart were so high off of Jimin. He knew he couldn't stay though, just as he knew trying to take them with him wasn't an option. Not tonight, at least. Trouble was the last thing he wanted to cause for the boy in his arms and he knew that's exactly what they'd find if Cole came back and Jimin was gone.

As they leaned back in his arms, playfully chiding him, Eisuke would smile softly back. Eyes swollen from tears, hair ruffled from sleep, Jimin still was the most beautiful thing he'd ever laid his eyes on. His gaze landed on their lips and he was so tempted to catch them between his own, but he'd been drinking and he didn't want to share their first kiss like this, even if he was still clear headed. "Yeah, I'll be here." he promised, gaze flicking back up to meet their own with a sobering carity in them. "And tomorrow, when I'm sober, I'm gonna kiss you for real." Another promise, one he intended to keep with every fiber of his being.

A part of him was mad that he'd come here half-drunk in the first place, but the rest of him knew that he'd needed the push that the alcohol had given him. Eisuke was strong and smart and adaptable in almost any situation, but he was still green when it came to sorting his feelings out. This experience though, it had taught him a lot. Not every pursuit would end in pain or rejection, and even though he still had his anxieties over weather Jimin would change his mind, for now the restless monster within him had been soothed into submission.

"Get some some rest." he'd say, reaching up to gently wipe the tears out of their eyes before placing another kiss on their forehead. He'd never been so intimate with anyone, and each time he dared to make his affections known it was both a jolt of nerves and a thrill that sent him flying sky high. "I love you, don't forget, okay?" he'd say, finally forcing himself to step away from them, because he knew that if he didn't leave now then he'd end up doing something stupid like trying to convince Jimin to leave with him. He hated the lack of closeness as soon as it was gone though, yearned to just sit in their embrace for a while longer.

Tomorrow, he told himself. Tomorrow they could spend the entire day together as whatever it was they'd become; a couple, boyfriends, lovers, any of those words worked for Eisuke, as long as it defined them as being together. "Sleep tight, Jiminie." he'd say as he forced his feet to carry him back towards the door, pausing in the threshold to glance back at them with a small smile before he finally took his leave.

OOC- sorry this post is a bit meh, I had to rush cuz I have company coming over :)

silver/grey lupurca with charcoal black points - Commander of the Exiles

Eisuke had been on the far side of things as well, away from the prison and out toward the border. When he'd caught the scent of the Ruiners heading farther into the territory he'd quickly gone after the patrol, approaching them from behind and picking off a few NPC's along the way. When he stumbled across Deb, the lupurcas face and claws were still smeared red with the blood of the Ruiners he'd cut down. Stormy gaze would widen in surprised as the terrified looking husky, and despite his own heartbreak over having been betrayed by them, seeing them with that kind of expression made his fur bristle.

"Deb, stay behind me!" the Commander would order, padding over quickly to stand between them and the Ruiners. His gaze would shift across the battlefield to where the rest of his clanmates were, and the anxieties gnawing in his stomach screamed at him to find a way to get to them, to protect Jimin and keep Cory out of the fight. But he couldn't make it through all those Ruiners without leaving Debiru behind, and he couldn't bring himself to do that. The winged white husky would be torn to pieces or dragged off as a captive if he left them here, and that... that wasn't an option.

OOC- open to 2 attackers max, no capture/maim/kill, open to taking captives or killing your character if you want them to :)

His late arrival was his own fault. Normally Eisuke was quick to find any welcoming comittees out on the borders and join them, not because he was the friendly sort who enjoyed seeing newcomers into the group, but because he liked to keep tabs on who was coming or going, as well as offer back up if a fight were to ensure. However, he'd had quite the bit of trouble sleeping the night before, and while he was typically one to go to bed late anyways, he'd almost neglected sleep altogether in the aftermath of his trip to speak with Jimin the night prior. At first he'd been to excited, his addreniline chasing off any traces of sleepiness he might have had, but after that he had stayed awake simply because he was afraid that he'd wake up only to find that the entire thing had been some dream brought on by his anxieties.

So he'd ended up sleeping in a bit longer than he'd expected, since he had eventually fallen asleep. And of course, the first thing the male had done after waking was go off in search of Jimin. Said search had led him out toward the borders, and eventually he'd found what he was searching for. It seemed his Co-commander and fellow Exilers had come across a stranger out on the border, and as they spoke amongst each other Eisuke would make his way over to slide into the empty space beside the rabbit-eared jackalhound. "Hey." he'd greet, his low voice accompanied by a small smile in their direction as he gave them an affectionate lick between the ears, doing his best to hide the blush that reddened his cheeks at his own blatant affection toward the other.

Greetings aside, his stormy gaze would turn to land on the stranger, a grizzled male whose age probably outdid them all. The friendliness and momentary softness that had been present in his features was gone now, returned to it's neutral mask as it regarded the outsider. It was wise for strangers not to misunderstand him. Eisuke was loyal to and protective of his people, especially the ones he was close to, but when it came anyone else he was an indifferent monster, just as happy to welcome you as he was to rip you to pieces.

"So are you joining, or not?" the canine would ask, his tone not so much hostile as it was blunt. Eisuuke had never been one to beat around the bush with things like this, and since the stranger had never actually answered Jimins question he figured he'd echo it for them in case the stranger had forgotten. He didn't have much patience for people on the border that didn't intend on joining their ranks.

It wasn't the usual voice that called out to summon them that day, and Eisuke was quick to make his way over to join his clanmates only to find Jimin standing in the leaders place. His brows would furrow in momentary confusion, but he was quick to accept it. Better him up there than Kukiko, though he'd been growing a lot more tolerable toward the rowdy female as of late.

Eisuke would take a seat off by himself among the group, ignoring how close Val and Deb were to instead focus his gaze on his boyfriend. He felt his cheeks heat up just thinking the word, but it flooded his chest with warmth and put a small smile on his lips as he watched the other boy carry on with that weeks announcements. It was hard to focus on what was being said when Jimin was looking so cute, but he didn his best to take note of everything, including his own shoutout.

KISS ME ON THE LIPS, OUR OWN LITTLE SECRET

male - korean - fluent in english - commander

OOC- this is a human AU that will be open shortly for others to join. It's basically the same world with the clans and everything, only our characters are people instead of animals :) JIMIN; Eisuke made a promise so this is retro to the day after their confessions <3

Eisuke still couldn't believe everything that was happening. He felt like the entire thing was a dream he might wake up from, and for once his mind and heart weren't heavy over the losses he'd taken. Yes, going back to the cell to find himself alone still hurt, but at least now he could combat the sad and ugly with something good and beautiful. Jimin loves you. The words had been on repeat throughout his head all day, ever since he'd woken up that morning. Granted, he'd woken up a lot later than usual due to the events of the night before, but after convincing himse that, no, it hadn't been a dream, he'd been practically fucking giddy. And it had lasted throughout the day, a warm and soothing feeling that washed over the wounds on his heart in order to heal them. He was still troubled over Debiru leaving and what it said about Eisuke as a person, but it had also put things into clear perspective for him: if he didn't find a way to sort out his feelings and express them properly, everyone would end up leaving him.

This was proven last night, during his talk with Jimin. Coming clean, expressing how he felt, it had done far more good than he could have hoped for. His best friend had accepted his feelings and confessed his own in turn, and now the two were a couple. Boyfriend. Lovers. Every variation of the word sent an electric feeling through his body. His mind had been full all day as he'd gone about his usual work and chores, drawing near to the other boy whenever they crossed paths along the way. His co-commander had him nervous in the best possible way, and truth be told he'd been waitin all day for there to be a break in the usual activities so that he could slip away and find them.

Thankfully, that time had finally come.

It was around midday and at last he had time to slip away back to the prison. Jimin was usually there this time of day and he was eager to find them and spend some time with them. Besides, there was something that had been on his mind pretty much since he'd left the others cell the night before, and while it had his stomach in nervous knots he was still excited for it.

He walked back into the prison courtyard looking better than he had in days. Instead of the disheveled, dazed, unhappy mess that he'd been in the wake of Deb regaining their freedom and moving out, Eisuke was alert and bright-eyed. He walked along with relaxed but purposeful steps, hands warm in his pockets while grey-blue eyes scanned the courtyard for the person he was most interested in seeing. His sadness just couldn't trump the high he was feeling, and finally he was being given a repireve from his grief. Jimin was a shot of pure sunshine, a singular ray of light that was so powerful it had banished the gathering darkness in his heart, clearing out any shadows that were trying to take hold of him. And he wanted to bask in the warmth of that glow now, itched to feel the others arms around his neck whehn Eisuke pulled him close. Where are you, Jimin?

Hearing the call for tasks, Eisuke would make his way over to get one for himself. He'd sort of forgotten about the last one so he was particularly determined not to screw it up this time around. Coming to a halt behind Pyrr and Jimin, he'd nod toward Faustus in greeting before calling for one as well. "I need one as well."

It wasn't often that the Exiles had people enter their territory through the beachfront. Every now and then it happened, but definitely not enough that anyone ever actually expected to be found there. Still, it was patrolled from time to time just to make sure no enemies used it as a way into the territory, though more often than not it was used as a hangout spot for the Exiles to enjoy.

On this occasion, Eisuke was using it as simply that. He had found himself drawn to the place more frequently for some reason, the black sands and the soothing soun of water breaking against the shoreline something that was quickly growing on him. His expectations of an uneventful jog along the waterfront were thrown away when he caught site of a familiar form up ahead though, and he quickly identified Jimin, Cicero and Nyria standing with a stranger down near the water. His curiosity getting the better of him, the large black and silver canine would head over to join them.

As he came to stop beside Jimin, he'd cast his co-commander a small smile of greeting before fixing his attention back on the odd aquatic looking feline, gaze shifting from her to the baskets of algae she was taking. He wasn't familiar with the stranger and so he wasn't entirely at ease with her presence there, and he had to agree with Nyria that if she didn't speak up soon with a good reason then she'd find herself being tossed back into the salt water from whence she'd likely came. [b]"What do you want with all this algae?"[//b] he asked, gesturing to the leaf baskets with a critical gaze, tone neutral and lacking little more than his curiosity. If she were to be chased off he at least wanted to make sure she wasn't trying to take a potentially valuable resource with her if it turned out she wanted it for something like medicine. He didn't think that was the case since algae wasn't often used by his clanmates for anything that he was aware of, but he had a tendency to hoarde resources for his own group and always loathed giving them up to outsiders.

It seemed in the Exiles there really only were two paths to take. You could either snap your fangs and work hard to make sure people knew not to mess with you, or you could passively attempt to ignore them, which usually kept the bullies sniffing around for a while. The important thing to remember- as shitty as it may have seemed- was that almost every newcomer was made subject to this hazing process in some way. It was an unspoken test of will, and if you had enough character to endure or deflect it, eventually you could find a place among the people there. He'd seen it happen firsthand numerous times in the many months since he'd first joined, first to himself, and then to almost everyone that came after. If you had the tenacity to work hard and take your licks though, eventually you became part of the crew.

It was just the nature of the group to be standoffish and rude, and while it was an aspect of the clan that Eisuke would have changed should he have had the power to do so, it was none the less part of the clans culture at this point. Even [i]he[//i] could be blunt and unfriendly when it came to strangers, but usually he had the sense to leave that attitude at the border where it belonged. Though, granted, there were always exceptions to that rule. Eisuke was a fighter at heart, and if he was given a reason to flex his claws on someone then he certainly would. Words were only spared when it came to people he actually gave a damn about, and that circle was a small one that was entirely exclusive to his own group.

Hito wasn't someone he'd met before, and in general the large battlescarred lupurca wasn't one to just go up to newbies and strike up a conversation. He could certainly be social, yes, but he was far from the friendly, smiling face that might be presented by others like Jimin or Val. On this occasional however, the presence of Ivory, Nyria, and Jimin were enough to outweigh the cons of the situation, and he would pad over to join them. Slipping into the empty space beside Jimin close enough that their side were gently pressed together, he'd give the newcomer a once over and a nod of greeting in their direction. "Hey. I'm Eisuke, one of the Commanders." he'd offer in greeting, noting with interest that this was one of their only apprentices. The clan didn't have much in terms of youth right now, though the expected litters of Kukiko and Cory would hopefully change that.

HATE IN MY HEART, LOVE IN MY MIND

silver/grey lupurca with charcoal black points - Commander of the Exiles

Eisuke had always felt as if he belonged with the Exiles. In the beginning, when his resurrection had brought him back with his emotions completely in tact for the first time ever, he'd been driven by a desire to get back at the world that had wronged him. He'd known from the very beginning that the sort of person he was didn't belong in a place of calm and peace, that he could never accept an easy life for himself like many of the proclanners had. He'd also known that he could not return to Bloodclan -now the Sanguine Ruins- or any of their allies after what he'd done to his father and Toni Darling all that time ago, and so from the very start he'd felt the pull to this place, knowing that it belonged to him not just out of choice, but because it was his right as a clan animal who'd been truly Exiled from the other clans.

Months later he still felt like he belonged there, though his reasons had shifted greatly. He'd come to realize that those first few weeks of living had been done as not only a stranger to the Exiles themselves, but as a stranger to himself. After years of feeling nothing on an emotional level he'd suddenly found that he didn't know anything about who he was. Did he enjoy parties? Did he have a favorite food? What kind of people did he like the most? Did he hold grudges? He'd thought that he wanted vengeance on the world for leaving him with so little in his life, but had that just been an echo of what he was feeling as Nuclear Warfare?

Yes, and no.

Over the many months that had passed, Eisuke had grownn into strong and capable person. He was clever and confident, reserved with those he didn't know well and downright cold toward those who weren't associated with or benefitting his clan in some way. Almost ruefully so, he'd learned that he possessed the same fierce loyalty to his clan and it's people as his father had to Bloodclan, and while he hated the idea of having anything in common with Chemical Warfare, he had to admit that it was a trait he secretly enjoyed. Despite his rougher edges he was no doubt a social creature, the kind of monster that prefered to run in a pack. Concepts like comaraderie and sacrifice grew heavily in his mind, and now the lupurca remained not out of some reckless plan to raze the world around him, but because he genuinely gave a damn about the clan and it's people.

His goals and ambitions had shifted to making sure that his group was the most capable and successful in all of agrelos, hardening his heart to the plights of the other clans in order to sacrifice them for the good of his own. He had people he cared about here, some that he might even call 'friends' at this point, along with a lover he'd kill and die for. If they ever had a family somewhere off in the future, he wanted it to be in a clan that was powerful enough to keep them safe. And so the Exiles wasn't just a home for him, but a save haven that would eventually dominate the other clans, crushing anything that threatened the realms of peace within the canyon. And he'd step on the back of every outsider he had to in order to see it done, so long as it meant the Exiles always had the most, the best of everything.

Sliding in beside Jimin, he once again was more likeminded with Nyria when it came to strangers at the border. He generally wasn't one to show outward hostility to a loner like this one, as he was a strong believer in welcoming newcomers who'd been smart enough to throw their lot in with the Exiles instead of some other group, but he was never friendly right off the bat either. A calm, neutral mask was what he usually wore, something that could easily give way to bared fangs just as easily as it could a nod of welcome, all depending on what was called for. He could never bring himself to chide Jimin too much for his own eagerness, though. That was one of the things he loved about them, that they could shine so brightly in a place as dark as the Exiles. It was only when they tried to offer help to rogues or enemies that Eisuke found himself truly troubled, not the sort to share supplies or kind words with people who weren't their own.

He'd wait quietly for the confused looking straggler to come up with an answer, hoping for their sake that they were here for the right reasons. Not everyone was as kind as Jimin, and that included Eisuke himself.
