    Cain sighed and pushed the flowers away with his paws."Yes, I am," he admitted with a sigh. He did not like failure; he never had. Even if this was just flower crowns, it was still a failure - something not to be tolerated, no matter what. Well, at least another couldn't do it. He wasn't alone.


    Blinking as the direwolf sudddenly came up and scooched the flowers away from him. He blinked his own blue eyes at her, his in confusion. Okay. He'd let her handle this. This was alright... but... he shot a disgruntled look at Etty, though affection for his Clan still lingered in his eyes. "Does that process include letting Zach do it for me?" he asked hopefully. He gave an absentminded nod to Tiny as she came up as well.

    Cain nodded, eyes glancing over all of them except the hamster; he hadn't noticed the tiny creature. Had he, he'd likely have the urge to kill it. For a snack, you see. Regardless, he didn't notice. Instead, he flicked his eyes once more over at everyone and shifted away so the cat who was eyeing something in the packages wouldn't reach in. "Well... we're an awful long ways from your camp," Cain tried to explain awkwardly his thoughts. "I'd feel guilty if I just dumped these here and left you guys to trek up the mountain with them, even if there's a lot of you." Maybe that worked?

    Cain... wasn't fond of sleet. At the same time, though, he preferred it to rain. It took a lot more to soak his pelt, and it didn't make the ground squishy. It did make his paw pads cold, but that was easily dealt with. It also looked like snow once a decent amount gathered, though it couldn't be gathered up like snow. Plus, some areas the next day would turn into sliding areas, which would be fun for everyone.


    Some, though, didn't like it very much. And as the direwolf paused, he realized that there was one such as that huddling here. It was one that he had only smelled once before, and so was unable to put a face to the smell. There was another scent here, though... a human scent. Cain frowned. Was the human trapping this unknown member of ColouredClan? That was the only thing he could think of, even though it didn't make sense. This was an abandoned city - why would humans come there? Hell, even the humans that have appeared on the territory were in the forests. Not even the city.


    He edged forward slowly, a frown etched deeply on his face. He felt the urge to shift directions, before he corrected his own mind: humans don't see, smell, or hear as well as wolves do, let alone dire wolves. He would be safe, unless he let himself be seen, With a golden pelt among white, though, that probably was more of a risk than he first thought. He noticed a window in the back, and propped himself up. He was tense, oh so tense - he couldn't creep up on the window like he could to some people. No, he had to stand on his hind legs and prop himself to peer through the dirty glass - something dangerous. Very dangerous.


    What he saw, though, wasn't dangerous. What he saw was a human child and a wolf curled up together. "What...?" Cain questioned aloud, thoroughly confused. Why was there a child? Had this wolf led it there? What if it had come from the humans on the outskirts of their territory? The humans would definitely search an abandoned city for a lost child, and they could even discover the hidden city of animals that dwell within. In other words, this was very, very bad. At least he recognized the wolf, though. He was right, it did belong to a member he had met only once. He couldn't recall a name, but eh. She likely wasn't introduced and he'd find out in a moment.


    The wolf hopped down, claws sliding off the window sill with a very light sound. It wouldn't be heard over the noise of the sleet pounding on the roof, but it still made Cain tense for a moment before he moved to the front of the building. The front of the building had a layer of white building against it, and, irritably, he swiped a paw at the white - a move that scattered sleet everywhere and also nudged the door open, spilling sleet in the building. Oops. They'd definitely notice now. As a result, the male poked his nose in, blinking once to get his eyes accustomed to the lighting, minimal though it was. And, despite him wanting to bust in and demand answers, he refrained, only asking a single inquiry: "May I come in?" A simple enough start.


    ooc. I uh... had muse. Oops.

    Unfortunately for Poppy, that was a duty Cain would be unable to perform. Cain was a direwolf; quite a world's away from a lynx. Their very style of life was different, let alone their hunting. Although... he did know the concepts. He just couldn't act on those concepts very well. Easier said than done was the right remark to that, or so Cain thought.


    Cain wasn't hunting per say, that day. He was more as in wandering, taking a single moment off of duty. While he was a bodyguard, there wasn't always something to do. And he wasn't the best at hunting himself - at least, not in the cat way. Sometimes when he hunted in his own way, he succeeded, but not often.


    In fact, him encountering Poppy - a moment that had him frozen in surprise for the tiniest of moments - was something completely unexpected. He didn't complain, though. In fact, he strode forward confidently, nodding to the female with a slight smile. "And how are you today, Poppy?" he questioned.

    Cain was stunned into silence. Where he stood, a glimmering rainbow was above the basket. And... no one questioned the little rain cloud thing hovering over the basket. Okay. They just focused on the gifts. Cain frowned slightly; how could one not notice? Eh, well. He opened his mouth to say something when Rhys said something. The sky? No, it wasn't raining everywhere. Just over the basket. "No, stand back and look at the basket where I am," Cain corrected with a small smile to soften the tone.

    Hmm... Cain tilted his head just a fraction of an inch. That reply meant something was not right, perhaps a situation, or just a feeling? Perhaps a duty? Cain was curious, but he also knew it wasn't his business to pry - and as curious as he was, he wasn't going to pry. No, instead he would answer the question the younger creature put forth. "I am doing quite well," he replied honestly. "I enjoy all the new members. All the new ones born and adopted. It's a pleasing experience." Once more, all his words were true.

    Cain was nodding in agreement with Poppy's statement when she asked that question. A quizzical look passed over his face, and he regarded Poppy strangely, eyes searching for the reason. What he found there relieved him, and he melded back into his typical warmth. He shook his head. "No, I've no interest," he explained gently. "I'm only a year old - my kind doesn't come of age until three years." He had no doubt he would develop sexual tendencies, but at the moment? He truly wasn't interested - sexually or romantically.

    What... what was that scent? Cain frowned as he slipped towards the edge of the city. It tingled on the edge of his consciousness - and he had no idea why it was familiar. It... bothered him to say the least. And when he spotted the silvery white female dire wolf, he frowned again, hanging back a moment before approaching warily.


    He stopped a few feet before the female, blue eyes inspecting her before resting on her face. Her appearance was completely foreign - he knew for sure that he had never seen this wolf before in his entire life. So why the hell did he recognize the scent of someone whom he had never met? It made no sense, and it drove Cain quite insane. He didn't like it at all.


    "Who are you, stranger?" he finally asked, face furrowed somewhat. His voice, as always, was mild. "And why are you here?" Much more personal than the 'name and business', but the same thing was asked.

What? Cain's ears flattened against his head as he regarded Celyn uneasily. Now that that tidbit of information was out there... it made sense, why he recognized her scent. Her voice, with the warm overlays, also made sense. He had the same infliction in his voice; it was one reason he got along with people. However... why was she here? That was the more important thing, right now. Why his mother - if she truly was, though his heart said her words were true - here now? Why now at a year old? He felt a small little surge of bitterness. She had abandoned him in this Clan. While he did not regret growing up in ColouredClan in any way, he'd have preferred it if his mother had been there.




    He'd also prefer it if she wasn't here now, throwing him completely off balance. He really didn't like this at all. Then Keelin appeared, and he... he just couldn't help it. He chuckled at the smaller cat. She did have a fair point - he was much too nice for his own good. He wouldn't change that though. Not even fo-




    Cain snapped to attention as his mother snapped at Keelin, and Cain jumped in front of the cat, his own teeth bared in a snarl. No one, not even his mother, threatened someone whom he cared about. And at the moment, he cared a hell of a lot more about Keelin than he did for his mother. "And you," he growled softly, "will not threaten one I care about." Blue eyes glinted in the light as he stared down at his mother. "What do you want with me?" Any hope of affection at this moment had been dashed when Celyn threatened Keelin. [/fancypost]

He rather liked the bobcat; he was a good man. "Sounds fun," he remarked with another grin. It was certainly a creative idea, though a bit... unfair to the felines. A canine could easily grasp an apple in his jaws in less than a second; heck, his eyes wouldn't even get wet if he tried. The cats, though, would need to shove their whole face in to get one, and even then it was difficult because of the size of the muzzle.




    He glanced at Centerfold, nodding to her. She was a feline; she could do it. She didn't want to though - something that caused Cain to frown. Was she unhappy? Upset? "How are you?" he asked quietly, ears flicking back in a gesture of concern. Nevermind the fact that she likely wouldn't understand the gesture. [/fancypost]

    ooc. late reply, my bad D:




    Another smile as Grim sat down, followed by a tilting of the head; evidence of deep though. "Hmmm," he rumbled softly. What did he like doing for fun? He wasn't entirely sure. He hunted when bored, yes, but he wouldn't say it was fun. Rather, it was a pain most of the time. He only succeeded maybe one out of ten times - but that was normal. He wouldn't really succeed unless he had a team to back him up, and in a land where most of the creatures dwelling within were feline, that was a bit.... difficult. To say the least.




    "I'm not sure," he mused. What else did he do? "Maybe conversing with others? Making them smile or laugh." His voice grew firmer as he spoke, and the last bit he delivered with a slow nod aimed at himself before he focused back on Grim. "And what of you, my dear friend?" he inquired gently.

    Cain's tail was going like a whirlwind as he bounced over with his typical easy grin on his face. A newcomer, eh? He approved. Very much so. With another flash of white fangs, he nodded to those present, and then to the newcomer - RekindledLove. "Greetings," he cheerfully said, blue eyes fixed on the smaller feline. A serval, so quite large - but in terms of weight and such, still smaller than the dire wolf. "I am Cain Macabre, a bodyguard here in ColouredClan. Welcome." And truly, he meant every word he said. All were welcome in ColouredClan, and Cain would try his damned hardest to make them feel welcome.

    Despite the flat tone the words were delivered in, Cain relaxed somewhat. Still defensive, but not hostile anymore. Forgiveness? For abandoning him? Bitterness - just a bit - whispered through him again, though with a quick shake to both settle his fur and mind, he walled it off. He instead listened quietly, the anger in his expression defusing to mildness, though it lacked his normal cheery grin. He tensed a moment as she stared at Keelin before moving her gaze away. Mother or no, he so did not like that look. It took his all his willpower from settling back into a lunge-ready stance; he did not want to tolerate that... that despise for Keelin.




    "I am well," he uttered softly with a single swish of his tail. His ears flickered back once; a non-verbal communication signifying his slight uneasiness. Her next words had him flick back his ears again. "It is not that your presence is undesired. It is that you threatened Keelin - and Keelin is family. I cannot allow threats to my family, even if they come from the one who birthed me. Surely you understand?" All of that, without a trace of bitterness. He wouldn't say without a trace of sadness, however. That lurked, ever so quietly in the depths of his own voice.




    Honestly, he couldn't help it - he wanted a relationship with his mother. At the same time, he resented her for not coming sooner. How could he not? It seemed unfeasible, in his mind. Just as unlikely as him ever not protecting one of his own.

    Herb patrol? This was... interesting. While the dire wolf had no interest in herbs, he had complete interest in helping a Clanmate out, despite the fact that he did not agree with the views of this particular Clanmate. He wasn't going to judge; at least, not out loud. He'd have judgements, of course - there was no way to avoid them - but he'd keep those buried. Even those judgements did not outweigh the protectiveness he felt of Tiny, nor did his other perceptions outweigh his protectiveness of other members of ColouredClan. They were all his Clan - that's all he cared about. Besides, all of them had something good in them, right?




    Regardless, it wasn't time for deep thought. Fui hora ayudar. Cain approached with a smile, tail wagging as he dipped his head in greeting. "I'll help," he rumbled to the much smaller creature. For a creature as large as him, carrying herbs would be no problem.
