"See how little you know?" The leader hisses, arms folded. "That you are here says enough about what is going on. You have played all your cards." She replies. "There is nothing you can say. Our qualms are with your mere existence here. " But then Roana does say something that catches her attention. "What reason would that be?" Random Event |

it's not what it looks like
"Hey, now. What's goin' on here?" The voice that rings through the forest around this, the mother of all trees, is almost as musical as that of the winged folk. Almost, but not quite. "I reckon you've caught much bigger than a rabbit there, friends." Holy SHIT. Ianto had heard enough. Northwind, Northaven, Storm Army, Hollowed Grounds (whatever the feck that was) and Roana, Roana Steadman was... she was... "Don't panic, now. She's always like this - spewing stories and makin' things up. She told you she was a captain too, I bet." Ianto winked at the leader, sweeping into a deep, respectful bow. The fox looked as far from Northaven as humanly possible - his coppery hair was its usually ruffled mess, but now it was braided here and there with silver thread. He still wore his battered leather coat - it looked more worse for wear than ever - and the grin he shot towards Roana was still golden. But his attire was that of the forest, his fingers and ears adorned with foreign jewels, his skin tanned from the Flowerbirth sun. And he wore a leather collar about his neck. "Ain't that right, sis? Captain of the army today, queen of the forest tomorrow?"

"Delah, my dear, if you had a sister like this would you speak of her unless absolutely necessary? I don't know how she escaped my wagon this time, only that she's particularly good at runnin' through the woods once she gets goin'." Ianto inclined his head to the winged leader, seeming utterly relaxed around the folk and moving, indeed, to lean casually against the side of the cage. "From within? That's a new one, Roana. You'll have to tell me where you get these ideas, one of these days," he said, smiling crookedly in at her. "Apologies for anything she might have done to startle you, friends," he said, addressing Delah more than the others. "Mayhaps I can bring somethin' along to the village next time I drop by, as thanks for you findin' her. That sound like a deal?"

"Mmhm. Your head." Ianto nodded slowly and obviously in return, before glancing at Delah and spreading his hands as she caught the keys and made her suggestion, masterfully hiding the panic that fluttered in his chest. "You might," he agreed. "And I do indeed, know the danger of such stories circulatin' about. But if you leave her here then she might just keep talkin' to anyone and everyone who passes by. Rumours are worse than forest fires, y'know." She knew. He knew. It hardly needed saying. Ianto sighed, itching at the scruff on his chin and straightening up from the cage. "I would really appreciate it if I could just take her home, Delah. I fell here alone, but for her. Don't take a poor fox's only family, eh? Or... well. I suppose there is my godmother."

Ianto had nothing if not an excellent poker face, and the fox managed to look utterly grateful and delighted as Delah moved to unlock the cage. As if the mention of Arduinna of the Wildwood had just been a slip of the tongue, or a passing comment without intention of repercussion. He smiled kindly in at Roana, holding out a hand to help her out. "Thank you," he said to Delah, once again inclining his head respectfully. "You're certainly right about that, my esteemed friend. No one else will know, and I'll not forget your kindness today. Rest assured that I'll make sure I bring some particularly interestin' wares to the village on my next visit. And somethin' nice for you, as well." With another golden grin, he stepped away to let Roana climb out of the cage.

"Then I'll just have to make sure to visit more often, for your kindness." Ianto winked, glancing from Delah to her squadron and back and seeming unperturbed by the melodic language they spoke - in fact, if Roana didn't know better, she'd likely think he understood it perfectly. Offering a pleasant wave as the winged folk disappeared back into the dense woodland (his free hand was still wrapped around the captain's), he waited until they were enough of a disance away before letting out a long, relieved sigh. "Sorry about that," he said, releasing her instantly and offering a quietly respectful bow to her, now. "Wasn't my intention to try and insult you, Captain. Just didn't want you to... yeah. Uh... follow me, okay?" Looking her over as if to check that she was able to properly walk, Ianto turned on heel and promptly... shifted into a fluffy red fox. The only thing still present from his human form was the leather collar about his neck, but there was a lot of ground to cover and he didn't feel comfortable without his animal senses to get them there safely. Without further ado, he trotted off into the trees. | ||||||||
