Raschen sighed heavily as he argued with his brother and the other diplomats of the options they had in regards to the attacks on their village. They of all tribes had to approach things carefully. They were the lawmen. The policing force of the Warren and their image could not be changed to one similar to the Hyane. The other tribes saw the Kuguar as a barrier between them and acts of violence like those of the Hyane because the laws and treaties written by Kuguar and signed by the 7 tribes of the Warren were ironclad amongst them and punishment was set to be eagerly carried out by Hyane military forces dependent upon the crimes and should the Kuguar agree to breech of treaty. The Kuguar were firm, strict, swift acting, by fair above all else and the absence of evidence of Hume interaction was a worrisome factor and left the Kuguar with rampant arguments of what should be done. Their heated discussionw would be cut short by a scout coming, panting, into the longhouse tent.<br/><br/>"G-General Loz..c-captain Raschen!" spouted the scout from force of habit, the brothers an unbeatable pair in combat and often called upon together. "A Hume and Hase approach carrying Hume peace banners!"<br/><br/>Raschen's ears fell back.<br/><br/>"It can't be.." he muttered, looking to his elder brother and then tot he scout before pushing past him, his paws kicking up dust as he skid to a stop at the north entrance of the camp, raising his spyglass to find the scout had spoken the truth. He would recognize that fiery mane and that Hyane clad Hase anywhere.<br/><br/>He held his paw to the defensive party gathering.<br/><br/>"They are diplomats, they will mean no harm...besides..I would not advise engaging them,...they would no doubt take a few of you with them should they feel threatened...The Hume possesses Magick and the Hase, skillful blade work."<br/><br/>He looked to his brother before biting his lip and stepping out to meet them, offering a warriors handshake tot he Hase and eyeing her quietly, his ears falling back from their earlier meeting. He scratched through his braids a moment before he spoke.<br/><br/>"I suppose our meeting came a might earlier than three days, hmm?" he said with a faint, nervous chuckle. He chewed his lip a moment, glancing back to his curiously watching and waiting brethren and comrades. He looked back to them, glancing between them.<br/><br/>"I hope that you come without violence in your wake..my kind are on their toes and on edge of leaping...we were attacked in a similar fashion as your Home...they worry the Hume were responsible because of direction of strike...I have told them all i can to assure them you were not involved and I hope you can further that point..."<br/><br/>he turned and walked before them to the gates, waving his hand for the sentry to let them pass as he walked with her to the diplomat's quarters.<br/><br/>"This is a Magick Hume diplomat from beyond the walls of Home who comes to speak of the attacks upon Home and our village...Their people await for their word before they choose their own actions..I suggest you let them speak...they will be my personal guests during their stay to ensure the safety of our village" he spoke these words to the priestess, a voluptuous female of their kind, her fur a deep mahogany and spotted in silver, her crimson gaze meeting his emerald one, pointed ears listening carefully to his tone and observing his gaze. She sighed, adjusting her cloak and long beads, rolling one of the trinkets quietly in her paw before eyeing the Hume, a silken voice leaving such a serious face.<br/><br/>"We will hear them speak...But out of worry for the safety of our peacemaking village.." she began,  careful to use the term peaceMAKING instead of peacekeeping, to illustrate their lack of hesitance to use force if need be. her decorative and elaborate cloak resembling a kimono of Hume history, hemmed in the symbols of their kind. "but..." she began again, eyeing Raschen. "The Hume shall be your guest..the Hase, General Loz'....I would will these two separated when our discussions have ended for the night so any collaborative effort on their part be interrupted should they harbor ill intent..am I clear?" she spoke sternly, Raschen swallowing some. "<br/><br/>"y-yes, priestess.." he spoke with respect and a hint of fear in his voice. Noone in the village knew of Raschen's powers but the priestess and none of the village knew the magicks of the priestess besides a few dying elders and Raschen. giving him a profound fear of any repercussions of crossing the female.<br/><br/>With his agreement her intense crimson gaze fell upon the Hume withe the fiery mane. "Speak.." she muttered clearly.
