Being quicker than the average human, Alura easily zips ahead of the others who where still finishing up with the prisoners. She was confident that whomever decided to stay behind to watch them would do a good job of it, as after all none of those captured seemed to be particularly bad people, in fact Alura had grown quite fond of many of them during their brief little interaction. Perhaps under different circumstances, she would have even considered joining their group, as a legitimate member, and not as padding on a certain sexy feline, as had almost been the case.<br/><br/>Alura's mind began to wonder how her sister was fairing, how well Meera was taking care of her. Why Anastasia must be worried sick, for she herself would have not been able to stand still for a second knowing her sister was gurgling away in the belly of another, especially one who had quite clearly stated their intentions to digest her. Oh no, Alura would have used every ounce of magic, and gunpowder at her disposal to see to her sisters safety.... a trait she was actually thankful that her sister did not share. For when it came to Anastasia's safety, Alura knew she could get more than a little reckless.<br/><br/>She was good at getting herself out of trouble, and today had been no exception, despite the strength of Yumina, how wondrous it had felt within her, Alura had gotten herself out of that situation. Sure Johan and Cyria's attacks, and the former's manner of taunting her into attempting to swallow him had played a part, and Alura certainly appreciated their efforts, but at the end of the day she was still the eldest, of only two surviving members of her clan, and she couldn't find herself relying too heavily on others to get her out of danger.<br/><br/>As she draws nearer to the house, memories of her first approach come flooding back to her. How cold Yumina had been, almost aggressive in her suspicion... Alura having been able to melt the hearts of all the others with relative eas, save for her...oh how happy it made her knowing that things where different since then, that she'd gotten that hug, gotten to feel how soft Yumina was both on the outside, inside, and deep down in her soul, that tenderness that she shared with only a select few, and even if she'd only ever truly received it while gurgling away in the feline's tummy, Alura was rather proud of the fact that she was among the few.<br/><br/>After calling out to her sister and the catgirl whom she imagined was still accompanying her, Alura rounds the corner, and enters the house. The scene she sees causes her to pause, and simply raise a brow in confusion. Meera was...suckling on Anastasia's fingers? Alura grins, recalling the berry she'd eaten earlier that day, the very berry which was likely little more than mush being squeezed through her intestines by this point.... but more than the berry was her sister's taste. Those flavorful little digits that she herself had found herself suckling....their kind really was delectable, as Yumina had let her know, and still does even after she'd escaped.<br/><br/>"We really are tasty aren't we?" she calls out with a grin, landing softly, Alura places a hand on her hip and just smiles at the two, shaking her head slowly. "Did you feed her one of your berries Anastasia?" she asks, as that seemed like the obvious choice for what was going on before she'd gotten here. Her sister always was way better at finding food than she was, Alura being partially responsible for that, as she'd ended up pushing off her gatherer duties on her younger sibling in order to sneak off and further her arcane studies.<br/><br/>Meeting Anastasia half way, Alura embraces her in a tight hug. "Eeck! kitty slobber!" she exclaims with a  giggle at the warm, wetness that smears across her cheek from her sister's touch, not entirely unlike that which had covered her entire body moments before. "I'm so happy your both all right! Meera I can't thank you enough for watching after my sister, you really don't know how much this means to me!" Alura says, pulling her sister in close to kiss her on the brow, while her sky blue eyes look onwards to the approaching catgirl.<br/><br/>As Meera joins in the embrace, Alura's wings flutter rapidly, she filled with such happiness, hugging close to both of them at once. She nuzzling in against Anastasia, her arm wrapped around her back, while the other squeezes Meera closely, fingers dangerously close to her rump as they caress and play against the base of her tail, Alura nuzzling her cheek against the catgirl's neck, fitting herself in under her chin. "You did good, both of you." she sighs happily, closing her eyes to simply enjoy the moment. Meera's mention of Yumina causes Alura's cheeks to flush ever so slightly "Yes well...I don't think she'll be too mad at you...I made her very, very happy you see...." Alura glancing down to her sister to whisper in her ear "putty in my hand." ending the quip with a little nipple to her ear tip. "She's a sweetie deep down, though don't let her know I said that." Alura pausing to let that sink in for a moment.<br/><br/>Turning her gaze toward the door she contemplates how to say it...Meera's friends had just been beaten, and she had to break the news to her. "my eh...friends Meera...they are mercenaries too ya see? They came to rescue Anastasia and I, and well....your friends and my friends ended up getting into a fight." The tips of Alura's wings sag and droop as she explains, she truly having wanted it all to come to a peaceful conclusion. "Buut!" she perks up, smiling once more "They are all ok, most of them surrendered, and are going to be auctioned off to your employer, or..." she pauses looking to Meera then her sister, "Some of them may even join us...traveling the world with us, going on all sorts of adventures together!...." she pauses to blush ever so slightly at what she was about to say and how she recalled Meera walking in on her and Yumina. "and maybe even getting a few of my special hugs if they're lucky..." Oh Alura wished that Meera could join, as the three of them would simply have an endless amount of fun.<br/><br/>With a more serious look she adds "They should be here shortly ok...when my friends arrive, please don't hurt them, and just let them pass please....surrender if they ask you...Aniel and the others did so they won't get mad....oh please will you do that for me Meera, I promise I'll make it up to you however you want!" Alura explains hastily, "I'll let you sniff me, taste me as much as you like just please do me this one itty bitty favor!" Alura clasping her hands together in front of her chest as she looks pleadingly onward at the neko.  Alura having wanted to fill her in before she's having swords pointed at her and ends up doing something in fear that may get her hurt.
