"Mmh? Who are you?" All the cub could smell was Windclan which was fine but right now his brain was too focused on being tired to process much else. His vision was quite blurry when he tried to open his eyes so he just kept them closed for now, no use having them open in his state. Neither voices were clear enough to recognize so he wouldn't be able to tell very much from words.

The cub mustered up a nod, it didn't occur to him what all had been said, he heard 'camp, get up'. The thing was he couldn't really feel his legs, the muscles within them having cramped up and gone to sleep. Nonetheless he did try to get up, his legs staying in their curled up position as he tried to get up onto his paws. Long story short he failed miserably and fell back onto the ground.

"Dad?" His son padded up, trying to see how un-okay his dad was before coughing at the smoke. He stepped back reluctantly and turned to Ilruuk with a snarl, standing beside Henry. The cub would not attack but he had made the mistake of showing emotion.

The cub looked up at his sister and father with hollowed eyes, struggling to get up once more. His ribs could be seen underneath his fur, which was currently matted with dust and burrs. The world outside of Windclan had not treated him kindly, then again the world inside had not been much different with Ilruuk still living within its borders. His face was sallow and not like how it normally was. He was able to uncurl his front legs, struggling to pop out the back ones.

It was Vader's son that found the paper first, reading it over with a smile. Surely Henry could come to discuss the alliance with a king? It all sounded so grand, perhaps he's get to visit a monarchy one day. "Henry! you've got an invitation from Wes..Westeros!" Pluto called, hoping the canine could hear.

The male looked at Chai curiously as he began to lower himself back onto the ground. What was that thing he was holding? Wait, wait. That's a chipmunk..why is it not dead? Pluto attempted to tap the small creature with a sheathed toe, being ever so careful not to hurt him. "You...speak?" He asked, voice gravelly and hoarse.

"Hey Attie, can't you go with him? Since you're a higher rank than an adviser, plus who better to advise Henry than his husband? You've got a good set of morals on you." The cub seemed to know what he was thinking, having been recently informed about Jonathan's step down. It was only a suggestion but Pluto didn't know how much logic he'd applied to it.

"Hey Chai, you want a lift? It'll get you up to the buffet table faster and then we can fill our plates." Pluto tried to get the chipmunk away from the leopard, his tail fur bristling. Besides, there was enough food here for the three of them to stuff their bellies for two weeks!

"Dad if he wants to be called Henry or Dr. Hacksaw call him that! Don't be like Ilruuk." His son stepped forward, actually looking like he had a backbone for once in his life. "But besides that you know what I find odd? You always tell us to be strong, to stand up for ourselves. Multiple times have I been brushed aside because my intelligent sister or my strong brother have more worth than I do. Yet you stand here defeated telling us that you must obey your 'master', he's nothing more than a slobbering mangy stupid poacher and I just can't see why you allow him to hold himself so high. You tell us to be strong when you allow yourself to be pushed and prodded around by likes of him!"

Pluto had cracked, and at his father of all people. His fur crackled to life with electricity, eyes burning with the same spark. Why this of all things had set him off was beyond anyone's knowledge but with those final words the cub left the scene for his house. He had decided to live on his own instead of with his family.

"But dad Alice has better things to do than keep me company, besides I can take care of myself and so can she. This is only a feast of alliances, not a meeting of peace with enemies." Little did Pluto know how true his latter statement had been. Yet being so young he didn't know of the beef Vader and Ilruuk had with Lessa and her friends. If it was even beef at all.

The cub sighed, staying still so Chai could get up onto his head. "Yeah I wouldn't mind keeping you company Spehora, it's been a while since I've last seen you." Pluto said, turning to the deer with a smile. Taking a look at the table of glorious food he motioned for the girls to follow him. "No use chatting around here while there's good food sittin' out on the table." The words themselves would make it seem like he'd grumbled them out, but his tone was light and joking. Like he was actually going to have fun with all these people around, it was nice.

"Mind if I take one Dr. Hacksaw?" The cub would come up beside Chai, giving him a very light pat on the head. Although it was a warm day his blue scarf still hung stubbornly around his neck.

Pluto was out on a walk when he heard the chatter and he diverted himself towards it only to find Chai and his hoard. The lion let out a chuckle, looking over the mound of food that was probably up to his elbow at least. That wasn't saying much though since he was a dwarf and wasn't very tall in the first place. "Your a tiny dragon Chai, though you can't fly like one you still hoard food like one."

Pluto had been exploring for the most part when he stumbled upon Atticus, his sister and a tiny kit. What an odd group but with Alice's words the scholar stepped closer, seeing the rest of the scene. "You want me to get you some water Atticus? That has to have tasted awful." He offered, a solemn expression gracing his features. It didn't look like it was a normal function for the canine so clearing his mouth of the rest of it was probably a good course of action.

There was no bed within the building, not even something that looked to be used as one. Lamps lit up the entry way, nothing but cupboards of who knows what stacked up underneath them. The house looked dead, no life or love inside of it. The paint was chipping and there were cracks in the walls, a house nobody would want set on the outskirts of the camp.

Pluto was inside the room farthest away from the entrance, tinkering away at what looked to be a chemists set. He had on a pair of goggles and was lifting some of the lighter equipment with his mind. On a shelf beside him sat a thick leather bound book and a few ink wells, on the table lay a thinner version with a bottle and quill. He didn't hear the knock but the breathing echoing through the house was enough of a warning before he came in.

"I'm in the back Vader, do mind where you step though. Some of the bottles in those shelves are being used."

When his offer was accepted the young lion ran off at full speed to fetch a bucket of water. Pluto figured the sooner he got it the better since they could also use the bucket for other means. Returning back on the scene he set down the partially full container in front of Attie and beside Henry, backing up into the crowd again.

He shrugged knowing that his father couldn't see him at that moment in time. "Still trying to work things out, right now it's just storage and such. I usually head out to eat, mostly at night yeah." The goggles lifted up onto his forehead and the tools were set down, the flame underneath the set going out. It was true he did go out to try and catch food, sometimes he was successful and other times he went to Attie and Henry's to get a small bite to eat before returning to work. Right now he was trying to figure out a way for him to possibly grow taller, he knew he had dwarfism and probably would be pretty short for the remainder of his life. If he found out how to be as tall as Alice he might end up growing normally.

"Wasn't thinking about it, I was trying not to drop things. Not much you can do with paws when you're working with chemicals." Pluto said, turning around. The cub hopped off of the stool, padding over to Vader. "Ilruuk tell you about my workspace?" He didn't call this a home, he didn't consider it home. All he did here was work on his experiments and write, it's all he needed to do here. Sure sometimes he dozed off on the floor but most of the time he didn't really sleep.

"I might come home every now and then, I'm so close to getting real information I don't feel tired," He looked lively, quickly switching to a more serious expression like it pained him to show vibrant emotions like that. He turned and concentrated on moving the vials. The cub went to show them to the older lion and was turning the labels as he went over so they could be seen. "Nothing that causes chemical burns or anything of that sort, mostly organic compounds and DNA from longer limbed prey animals." The only thing that would cause him harm was the fire or if hot liquid spilled on him. What he was using could possibly give away what he wanted the end result to be, that is, if Vader knew what he strived for.

The small outburst he got after asking about Ilruuk nearly made Pluto laugh, so his father still had a hidden hatred of his so called 'master. "I know you aren't blind, it's just that he found my hidey-hole a few days ago much to my dismay. No one else really comes out here where all the rickety houses are but he seemed to be on a walk of sorts and noticed the lamps in the windows. Besides dad, no life is the same. I might not even pass through the gates that got you to where you are today."
