[ oof i'm terrible at joining threads I promise he'll be more interesting later but,, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

Koday's life was complicated. It had been from the very start with conflicts from family (namely his father -- he had 'daddy issues' as karma had called them -- to friends to even having conflicts with strangers. Of course, that was how life was; one was thrown obstacles left and right and it was the individual's job to try to survive and endure...so, as life went on, it was bound to just get more caught up and complex — probably more so than he even wanted to think about. His life was complicated now, even...having someone just straight up push him out of his place as high king in Valhalla -- someone he trusted to stand beside him, and not just try to take over. Well, said person just decided to go behind his back as far as leading went. That...God, he had no words for that. But he figured it was best to just leave. So, he did. Where did he leave to? Well, there was a place that he had lived in which things were just simple and fun. And that, surprisingly, was the Sanctuary. The Sanctuary hadn't been his first home, no, but his second and it was only his home for a little while. But it was where quite a few things in his life happened. He had met Pris there. He had also gotten accused of murder when he first arrived, too. That was fun -- though note the sarcasm. But, it had been simple, and it had been pleasant otherwise. And so, he figured that he was going to start over there.

Large charcoal colored paws moved swiftly over the land, carrying him inherently closer to the edge of the territory, though it was was still quite a bit away. It was dusk; the sun just starting to dip beneath the lands and it's hills, though still visible and giving off enough light for those to see. As the sun was setting, the temperatures were also dropping quite a bit, though for him the only indicator that it was cold was the fact that he could begin to see his breaths (perks of having a thick, double-layered coat meant for winter). With strides powerful but calm, the large canine moved towards his destination steadily. The prince's golden gaze flicked around the land curiously and cooly, taking in the surroundings quietly. Soon enough, he brought himself to a stop near where the scent got considerably stronger -- recognizing it easily as the border. Taking a seat, he was silent at first...not saying anything and just looking around at the place he was about to start calling his home. It was bittersweet, joining places...perhaps, this time, things would work our better.

The prince's usually cheerful and energetic energy had been reduced to one that still exuded power, but was darkened with a sense of underlying trouble and damage. It wasn't all-too-obvious for those that hadn't seen him before and didn't recognize him. No, for those that didn't know him this was just something that could have been considered normal and could have fit him as far as his appearances went, being he had quite the intimidating and dark appearance. But, he still seemed strong, if not a little bit in troubled. But that being 'normal' was far from the truth. Usually he was loud, boisterous, and bright. But now, he was just...quiet and calculating.

His gaze not revealing much but intrigue, he made his final scans of the area, looking upon the territory. It was a nice change, compared to the wet marshlands he used to called home in Valhalla...certainly, he'd enjoy this territory more than being wet and damp every damn time he went out and about. Giving a small nod, he took in a sharp inhale and shook out his fur briefly as he exhaled it, finally making the decisions to speak. "Anyone alive out there?" Koday's voice was fair in volume, though smooth in speaking. He knew, obviously, that there were people alive...he was just...being sarcastic? Teasing? It was neither of those, but somewhere in between, he thought. He didn't really know. After a moment of silence and no one there, koday blinked. He waited another moment, and then simply just decided to answer for himself and speak anyways. He figured being the sun was setting that most were getting settled into bed. "Alright cool, guess not," Koday first stated rather lightly and even a little jokingly at the silence, merely giving a shrug before going on, "My name's Koday Brekker, I'm here to join," he concluded. A little impatient? It could have been taken that way, though his tone most suggested that he was just messing around. Honestly, was just hoping someone would hear him at this point. If nobody did, he'd probably go in and sleep and then introduce himself to everyone the next morning. Though, he was fairly sure that wouldn't go over well, so he was hoping for someone to see him here before it got dark and the sun disappeared over the horizon.

Where he left to, however, was something that was...unexpected. It was a place he had come to out of curiosity in the past, but it was also the place that had the most impact upon his life..

The Exiles. His old home, his first time in leadership, his first life-long friendships and his first loves...they had all been here. It had been so long since he'd joined here -- almost a year. In fact, three days ago a year ago, he had been promoted to stand beside Mads as second -- odd that he remembered that date, but he did. Even further, it had been...a full eleven months since he had set foot back on exile territory since he had decided to step down. If he were being honest, he didn't expect to see himself joining back here. Everything had changed. Most of the ones he knew were dead and gone...a bit of a morbid thought, but it was the truth. He knew his friends wouldn't be here -- or anywhere, rather...so what was he doing back here? He didn't really know.

Large charcoal colored paws moved swiftly over the land, carrying him inherently closer to the edge of the territory, though it was was still quite a bit away. It was dusk; the sun just starting to dip beneath the lands and it's tall peaks and deep crevices, though still giving off enough light for those to see. As the sun was setting, the temperatures were also dropping quite a bit, though for him the only indicator that it was cold was the fact that he could begin to see his breaths (perks of having a thick, double-layered coat meant for winter).

Soon enough, he brought himself to a stop near where the scent got considerably stronger -- recognizing it easily as the border. Taking a seat, he was silent at first...not saying anything and just looking around at the place he was about to start calling his home once more. It was bittersweet, joining places...perhaps, this time, things would work our better.

It wasn't all-too-obvious for those that hadn't seen him before and didn't recognize him.

But, he still seemed strong, if not a little bit in troubled. But that being 'normal' was far from the truth. Usually he was loud, boisterous, and bright. But now, he was just...quiet and calculating.

Fresh start? Koday's thought rang directly out to his father's spirit, whom he still kept in touch with. There was silence for a long moment...it had been forever since they had talked after Koday had broke the contract.

You tell me. Remember what happened to your last "fresh start"? The gruff response from the king came -- revealing nothing useful.

At this, Koday's jaw clenched and a look of annoyance crossed his face.

Bastard. The direwolf thought back, though he spoke nothing else of it.

His gaze not revealing anything from the internal conversation with his father's spirit, but really only intrigue as he made his final scans of the area. It was a nice change, compared to the wet marshlands he used to called home in Valhalla...certainly he'd enjoy this territory more than being wet and damp every damn time he went out and about. Giving a small nod of approval, he took in a sharp inhale and shook out his fur briefly as he exhaled it, finally making the decision to speak. "Anyone alive out there? Or did Hell finally freeze over?" Koday's voice was fair in volume, though smooth in speaking. He knew, obviously, that there were people alive...he was just...being sarcastic? Teasing? It was neither of those, but somewhere in between, he thought. More like joking, but he didn't really know. The joke was one that could have made more sense, had someone who remembered him actually been here. Upon his first joining he had stated that the place looked like Hell (though quite cozy, he did add). Really, he was just commenting on the fact that it seemed there was nothing moving out and about at the moment. With a small hum fter a moment of silence and no one there, Koday blinked. He waited another moment, and....Crickets. Golden gaze wide and looking around with a half-amused smile, he simply just decided to speak anyways. He figured being the sun was setting that most were getting settled into bed, who knew? The large direwolf mused, stating his words rather lightly and even a little jokingly at the silence, merely giving a shrug before going on, "My name's Koday Brekker, I'm here to join...again," he concluded. Honestly, he was just hoping someone would hear him at this point. If nobody did, he'd probably go in, get to sleep, and then introduce himself to everyone the next morning. Though, he was fairly sure that wouldn't go over well, so he was hoping for someone to see him here before it got dark and the sun disappeared over the horizon.

&& tracking!!

how’s everyone doing?? :0

The prince could never run away from his past. Not ever, and clearly not now. The tragedies he had been through and the tragedies he had caused all followed him and met up with him at some point. First, an accidental death that he had somehow caused -- but had not been there for, mind you -- that came to haunt him months later when he attempted to join the sanctuary. The death of fairylights had been a horrible accident, and yet he got yelled and screamed at by soap -- fairylights's supposed significant other -- when he first arrived and then was accused of straight up murder (which, by the way, was incorrect). That had been...a mess, to put it simply. But even further, there was another thing with his secret dual alliance with the exiles and the sanguine ruins for the longest of times, and someone -- namely Dimitri -- finding out about that and threatening to blurt it to the world. But it wasn't just those things, no...there were small details, small mistakes, that lead to ironic and troubling situations for him. He was supposed to be the bringer of bad karma...and yet, bad karma followed him.

His whole deal with the Valhalla was...confusing. He had arrived because there wasn't much else to do, but it seemed soon enough that he had found some sort of home, though not really, among them. He didn't have many friends there. Mija...she changed quite dramatically when she decided that she wanted to just take over the position. And Michael...the two had their differences -- big differences -- but they managed to get along for their short time of leadership. But other than that, he couldn't say he held true connections. No, he didn't miss anyone there. And maybe that was why he had left so easily? Quite possibly -- Koday didn't abandon things easily. But Valhalla...for it to have been a true home? Not really. How he had even become leader there for a short while he didn't know...but that was part of the past. Or...so he thought. It seemed that even his past alliances were going to be a stick up his ass now.

As the figure of a very angry feline came storming towards him, an eyebrow quirked and then narrowed as he tried to figure out what the hell was making her so pissy. He had never seen her before in his life, he knew that...so what was her deal? Giving a small inside groan, a concentrated frown came upon his face as he looked upon her, studying her rather...distasteful features. Seriously, what had he done now? he'd kept his ass out of trouble for how long, and this was happening? With a huff, he was about to ask her 'what is your problem' when suddenly, she spoke up upon articulated, fierce words. Ties with an enemy...? What the hell was she talk--

Realization hit. And, if Koday could have rolled his eyes into another dimension, he would have.

You've got to be fucking kidding me, Koday grumbled in his thoughts, I can't live anywhere in peace.

Told you. Koday's father chided in thought.

In these times, Koday wished his father had a physical form that he could punch. Instead, he dug charcoal colored claws into the earth beneath him. Bitch-ass.

The look of annoyance, at first, was clear from the eye roll and the way his jaw clenched. However, Koday knew better than to let his temper get the best of him, especially in a situation like this. So, taking in a sharp inhale, the direwolf forced the fakest-ass smile onto his face that he could have possibly managed and kept himself level-headed and ready to deal with the situation. "Should it matter? My previous alliances don't have anything to do with me now." Koday countered a little challengingly, putting emphasis on previous for obvious reasons; though he made sure that he held back the bite his defenses usually had with them. He wasn't here to start a fight...but it seemed that he was going to start off yet another joining with defending his case. Why did this keep on happening? Damn it was annoying.

As the feisty little feline spoke again, the direwolf's ears flicked back and he gave a sigh. So much for the welcoming atmosphere he was oh-so-used to here...but he guessed he'd have to deal with it. But trust? Please. Trust -- full trust -- should rarely be given to anyone. But in the case of having some faith for the better good...didn't she have any of that? Giving another small roll of his eyes, the canine spoke once more, golden gaze focusing carefully onto the angry female. "I don't know, but why wouldn't you? I left for a reason, now didn't I?" Koday retorted back, but managed his tone carefully -- making sure not to get entirely too sassy and sarcastic. That would be saved for if this crazy paranoid woman would listen to him, or if anyone else got too far up into this business. Seriously, this was ridiculous...and while Koday didn't know this, the Valhalla weren't technically enemies with the Exiles...interesting.

Blinking his frustrations away, the large direwolf just simply shook his head and sat upon his haunches with an eyebrow quirked and quite uninterested in whatever counter-argument she tried to come up with. "Either way," Koday began, flicking his front paw dismissively to their previous conversation, "I'm not coming here to pretend to be someone I'm not. One, I'm a horrible actor. And Two, It'd be a waste of my time, and yours too, hmm?" the direwolf gave a small hum, his gaze flicking away for a second before focusing on the other quite intently, "Plus, I hate snakes. Both the actual creatures, and the personalities," The memories of Dimitri stabbing Jackdaw in the back -- literally, with a knife -- when he was just a child flashed across his mind briefly. That was all he had to witness to decide from the very beginning that he would never deceive someone in such a way, with such intentions. With a sigh, he'd look back upon the femme, "There. That's my case, chief, so what's your verdict?" the direwolf left the statement-slash-question open for her to finally answer whether or not she'd let him pass through and get settled here. Take it or leave it, confirmed or denied, whatever it was, he would wait for the answer and go from there. If they decided to decline him...well, it was their loss, not his.

aa ty ty!

also i,, apologize for Koday, my trash son, in advance,,, he's been through™ some stuff and is a lil snippy rn its a big oof he'll be more back to normal hopefully soon lmao

Koday's life was complicated. It had been from the very start with conflicts from family (namely his father -- he had 'daddy issues' as karma had called them -- to friends to even having conflicts with strangers. Of course, that was how life was; one was thrown obstacles left and right and it was the individual's job to try to survive and endure...so, as life went on, it was bound to just get more caught up and complex — probably more so than he even wanted to think about. His life was complicated now, even...having someone just straight up push him out of his place as high king in Valhalla -- someone he trusted to stand beside him, and not just try to take over. Well, said person just decided to go behind his back as far as leading went. That...God, he had no words for that. But he figured it was best to just leave. So, he did. Where he left to, however, was something that was...unexpected. It was a place he had come to out of curiosity in the past, and partly as ambassador duties as well...But it was something away from the troubles he had suffered through; away from his connections to others he'd grown up with. As far as he knew, he really didn't know anyone here. Not anyone that didn't like him, at least.

Large charcoal colored paws moved swiftly over the land, carrying him inherently closer to the edge of the territory, though it was was still quite a bit away. It was dusk; though the sun seemed nonexistent as clouds -- grey and harboring snow -- hovered overhead. As temperatures dropped, his breaths could be seen whisking away in huffs of white, over and over and over again as he traversed the grounds leading to the Kinship Circle. With strides powerful but calm, the large canine moved towards his destination steadily. The prince's golden gaze flicked around the land curiously and cooly, taking in the surroundings quietly. Soon enough, he brought himself to a stop near where the scent got considerably stronger -- recognizing it as the border. Taking a seat, he was silent at first...not saying anything and just looking around at the place he was about to start calling his home. It was bittersweet, joining places...perhaps, this time, things would work our better.

You tell me. Remember what happened to your last "fresh start"? The gruff response from the king came in koday's mind.

At this, Koday's jaw clenched and a look of annoyance crossed his face just briefly. While the king had a point, Koday wasn't in the mood for pessimism.

Always worth a shot. The direwolf thought back, though that was all he did.

His gaze not revealing anything from the internal conversation with his father's spirit, but revealing his intrigue as he made his final scans of the area, Koday gave a small hum to himself. It was a nice change, compared to the wet marshlands he used to called home in Valhalla...certainly he'd enjoy this territory more than being wet and damp every time he went out and about...So, giving a small nod of approval, he took in a sharp inhale -- letting the cool air enter his lungs as shook out his fur briefly, exhaling it. "Anyone out there?" Koday's voice called out into the unknown, his golden gaze flicking two and fro as he anticipated some sort of answer. However, with that, he gave a roll of his eyes at himself for asking that. Duh -- there was bound to be someone out there. The prince shifted his weight among the cool ground and gave a small smile, shaking his head before dismissing what he said before and, instead, introducing himself, "My name's Koday...I'm here to join, if that's cool," the obsidian hued direwolf would speak up to no one in particular, just...to anyone there to listen.

"speech." & tags

tracking!! how has everyone been??

[ aa omg you don't have to match! and ty ty! <3 ]

Comfort.. It was something that Koday had longed for, but never really got to experience. The comfort he could remember was long, long ago. Being tucked against the warmth of his mother while his father managed a fire for warmth in their bitter cold land. The love, care, and peace came in waves as they settled in for the night. The memory brought a bittersweet smile to his lips, though within it lingered sorrow. The saddest part wasn't that his mother was no longer here, nor his father (though, his father's spirit was in his mind to annoy him on the daily, if that counted), but it was the fact that, after that moment, he had never felt in such a way again. After things turned sour within his family -- after his family-line initiation -- Koday left to the clans and...to say the least, anti-clans weren't the best for comfort. No, there was always some sort of conflict going on...but now, maybe -- just maybe -- he would be able to settle in and find his peace and comfort.

The obsidian direwolf's ears perked as he listened after he introduced himself. He heard a scurry or two and anticipated someone to approach as Wenceslas had done that one time, but the sound faded into nothing and he came to the conclusion that it was likely some non-sentient creature moving about. And so, he just blinked and waited. It wasn't even a moment later, however, that a similar sound came again, and he was met with a pair of eyes as yellow as his own. As the feline bounded up with a boost from his wings, the direwolf gave a bright smile and a small wag of his tail. "Hey there! Nice to meet you, Dancer," Koday greeted back. Dancer was an interesting name...was it short for something? Or maybe that was just his name? Koday didn't know, but he didn't have much time to think about it. But upon the comment about others coming, he gave a nod, "Oh, okay, gotcha~"

Shortly after that was said and after he was welcomed, another circler came up and greeted him -- just as Dancer had said one would. Damn, they were quick, weren't they? Anyways...looking upon the shepherd, the canine offered a smile and dip of his head in greeting. This canine certainly had an accent, which was enough to pique his interest at the very start of his introduction. What accent was that? He could have sworn he heard it before...was it...No, it wasn't Russian...the canine tilted his head and gave a hum in thought, though he pulled himself from what his thoughts and instead listened to what the other had to say. Hearing him talk was interesting, still, but that wasn't the point. Magi? What an interesting name..and then, they were talking about tours and probably finding someone else to handle that. With that, Koday gave a good natured chuckle and shook his head, "Ah, I'm sure you'd entertain just fine...but I think I can find my way around on my own," Koday said with a small shrug. Plus, wandering and walking around was one of his specialties. "Oh! And your accent...it's German, right?" the prince asked enthusiastically, his paw pointing to the other with emergy and hope that he was right. As he had listened to the other more, he remembered briefly that Duestchland had an accent similar...but, he still wasn't quite sure...but it was worth a shot trying to guess what accent it was with his little knowledge he had on the subject.

The next to arrive was a wounded male -- one that limped over with pain laced in each action, but still managed to force out a smile. In that instant, Koday could have sworn he felt exactly what that felt like...or rather, he knew exactly what that felt like. Time and time again and he had done as such -- been out and about while injured, welcoming others. And because of that, a feeling of concern, though a feeling of respect came upon him as he looked upon the other, who had just introduced himself as Champagne (another interesting name, might he add). "Pleasure to meet you," Koday spoke genuinely and with a gentle smile, but as the topic of tours came up once again Koday was quick to interject to help make them feel...not so pressured. "Oh, I'll be fine! Thank you, though," Koday quickly spoke, before continuing, "Make sure you rest and take care of yourself too, alright?" the prince suggested gently -- not to make the other feel as if he was demanding him to do anything, or intruding on personal stuff...but moving around with a limp like that, as well as other wounds...it couldn't be healthy. It'd be a shame if the wounds got worse...

[ sorry this is so long! it just,,, kinda happened lmao ]

aaa ty ty for the warm welcome you guys!! <33

that’s good! And I’ve been pretty good as well!

!! I’m glad you have been well! And my holidays have been great,, same with the New Year (so far sksks). How were your holidays? :0

&& I’m glad you’re doing well! <3

[ Eggfriend. omg yes of course! && btw she is?? adorable?? wow ]

Koday could never really understand why others would make fun of and mock something that was inherent to an individual. If anything it was kind of sick to do so. One thing he could remember was...was her name Heavensbee? From the Solaris Kingdom? He couldn't remember exactly, but he was placing his bets that that was her name. Anyways -- She had been bullied for quite some time about her appearances...or at least, she made it seem that way. She hid away her features and even tried to get rid of them in a very unpleasant, unsafe kind of way. It was sad to see, but Koday was glad he could make her feel better about it, if only for a little while. Where did she end up going? Maybe he'd have to search for her later. Anyways...that was off topic. But, to have made fun of something or someone about something they couldn't help? It was quite the horrendous act. Of course, this wasn't the same as Magi's situation entirely but the thought still stood, even if Magi was proud of it.

The obsidian hued prince gave a proud smile at his correct guess of accent. After thinking it was Russian for a bit, he was finding that he was glad he had remembered what Duestchland had spoken in. Otherwise, that would have been very awkward and quite uncomfortable, to blurt out the wrong thing. And so, with just a small tail wag Koday gave himself an internal 'good job', before turning to focus on what the shepherd continued to say again about being welcome and asking if he needed anything. Kind, wasn't he? Quite. "Of course! Thank you," Koday chimed back to the other, giving the male a nod of appreciation and gratitude towards the offer of being able to be sought out if anything was needed. Did he think that he would take up on that offer? It was a possibility...maybe he would do so just to get a nice chat in with his new group mates.

The next to arrive was a feline that he, admittedly, had never seen before. Well, of course he had never met her before, but it was her species, mainly, that piqued his interest. She looked something like a mix between an Ocelot and..something else, he wasn't quite sure. And so, it was as she directed her focus onto Champagne, the injured member (and rightfully so, even Koday was concerned about him), that Koday looked upon her curiously, though not intensely. Though it wasn't long before he, too, redirected his focus to the injured member out of his own concern as well, also awaiting the answer for if he was feeling okay. The answer was probably no, but, he'd wait to see anyways. But it wasn't even moments later that the female turned towards him and apologized. At that, the prince gave a small huff of amusement and a charming smile, shaking his head, "Ah, no need to apologize," he spoke quickly right back, before continuing, "It's a pleasure, Lethe," Koday added with a smile; a response to her introduction. She seemed quite caring, quite nice...He seemed to have chosen the right place, hand't he? No curses thrown his way, no accusations and no anger...it was nice.

It wasn't long after their introduction that something large and looming -- but all the same welcoming and warm -- showed up. At first, Koday was silent, his eyes wide as he looked upon the very large bird that seemed to practically glow. His jaw parted slightly in confusion and his head tilted to the right, his eyebrows creased in thought. Was he...hallucinating? There was a giant-ass bird that was...glowy and had rainbow sparkles...and was...warm? Koday blinked again, glancing between the others that had gathered for assurance that they saw this to. Was he...on drugs? No, no, that couldn't be. He hadn't been around those since he was a child...but still. "You--" Koday was about to ask "You're real?" when suddenly, the bird started talking to him. New egg? What did that mean? Well, whatever it meant, it gave him confirmation that he wasn't hallucinating or dreaming because, well, he could hear it, loud and clear. "I guess so?" Was "egg" the way she referred to clanmates? Or...honestly, he didn't know what else it would mean, so that was his best guess. Taking in a deep breath, Koday's golden gaze widened, but soon enough another charming smile came to his face at the chickadee's eagerness and rather chipper aura. Man, he had seen tons of crazy things -- like a giant spider and a giant slug (not even joking) -- but this? This was a new one, for sure.

Good God, it had already been another year? The thought of that made Koday want to crawl away and hide. Time...time sucked. It went by either too fast or too slow and as of late? It was far too fast. He was getting older and older by the day, things were passing him by and he...hadn't accomplished really much of anything. Actually -- that was a lie, he had accomplished quite a lot, such as not dying and getting himself together and even leading a clan -- but his resolutions from last year? Had he done any of them? To be honest, no. He gave up halfway through January. So, would this year be different? As far as resolutions go, probably not. But truthfully, he wasn't coming into this new year with more resolutions he was most likely not going to stick to and feel guilty over. Nope, instead, he was going to take a new approach -- one that focused more on vibes than anything. He was coming into it with a plan to stick to the words "chill" "fun" and "happy". Certainly, if he stuck to those words, there wasn't much that he could do wrong. Keep level headed, have fun, be happy. Three things. That's all he had to try to do. It was a lot simpler than setting actual daunting goals, wasn't it? In his mind it was.

Upon hearing there was a party, there was no doubt that Koday would be there. And so, getting himself all cleaned up and looking quite snazzy, he brushed out his coat to where it shone; the canine was sure to make himself ready for an appearance. Now, it was time for the costume. Now this...this was a bit tricky. He didn't really have any on hand and he wasn't sure what to dress up as. So, to make it simple he covered himself in all sort of New Year's things. With big, clunky 2019 glasses as well as a hat, along with a noise maker and streamers, the canine made his way over to the gathering group -- a wide grin on his face as he took in what Magi had set up. Truly, he had done a great job.

Grabbing a glass of champagne and taking a sip, Koday scanned the faces of the crowd curiously and out of uncertainty of where to go. There were many faces he didn't know, but he recognized Magi (of course), Dancer, Lethe, and Champagne (ironic that he was drinking some at the moment). Shrugging, the obsidian hued prince moved towards the Magi with a charming smile. "Ah, the man of the hour!" Koday chimed with a grin, "The party's amazing," Koday complimented. Taking another sip of his champagne, he looked at those that had also gathered around the host, and to each of them he gave a nod of greeting. After silence engulfed him for a moment, he suddenly piped up, reaching over and grabbing another glass with a bright grin before turning to Lethe, who hadn't gotten any of the enticing liquid quite yet? "Care for a drink?" Koday would ask with a smile and a tilt of his head. If not, well, he'd deal with that when it came. But for now, he was going to enjoy his own Champagne and hopefully get to enjoy it with everyone else as well.

also,,, I really really want to reply to everyone's one shot threads but,,, idk if I can write a good enough reply sksks

My, my, how the tables had turned in his absence. He had been gone for just a little over a week, settling some...personal things that others would pay no mind to; it wasn't even a few steps into his new home and he had already caught wind of the major unrest that had taken hold of the clan. Changing of ideals, changing of beliefs and ranks and functions...a change in standing. Changing a proclan into something more of an anti-clan wouldn't set well, he knew that...in fact, he was sure anybody knew that. Truly, the only success with that kind of change would be if it were going the opposite; anti to pro, or even anti to neutral. He had managed to do that with the Exiles before they took the plunge back into old ways after his leadership...but that didn't matter. But, teaching a clan so set in peaceful ideals...changing them to be ruthless and harsh...it was nearly impossible. Once a pacifist, almost always a pacifist...It was just how things worked.

So, all this news was shocking, really, though Koday was not part of the ones openly questioning it -- having been raised in anti-clans all his life the change as such was not so devastating to him. But, that didn't mean it wasn't for others. And so, even though he, himself, could not find it in him to be angry about the changes, he knew very well that the rest would be... uneasy. And the last thing they needed here was tension and a possible civil war. Hell, he'd had enough of those...and so, why not help ease that tension? That's what he was best at doing, wasn't it?

While everyone was busy being tense, Koday was about with a charismatic smile and an idea he had used just once before. The obsidian hued direwolf could be seen setting up a nice little event inside of the temple for everyone; with large amounts of warmed milk, hot chocolate packs, and even marshmallows laid out and being mixed together to create the perfect combination of sweet and warm. It wasn't long before everything had been mixed, and so, after that, he set out to make a place comfortable and hospitable for those that came to stop by. So, the prince went along to get comfy pillows -- laying them out for others to sit or lay on, whatever they pleased. And so, after that, the canine shuffled back, taking a cup of the hot chocolate he had mixed and taking a seat on a large, yellow pillow and laying down and calling out, "Ladies and Gents~" Koday began rather ceremoniously and with his 'public speaking voice', "I've got hot chocolate for you! Why not stop by and introduce yourselves while you're at it, too?" Koday would finish with a smile. Having a nice meet and greet over a nice cup of hot chocolate sounded quite relaxing...perhaps it'd be helpful in easing some of the tension as of late. With a small sight, the canine would raise his forearms just slightly to hold his cup as he took a gentle sip from it as he waited for anyone to come and join in.
