[LI'L SCRAP BEAT UP. he looks like he won tbqh]

Yeah. He is. And he's got Melody with him, too.






So she'll keep him in line.

[hm sure hopes she does not kill him while Lupin is gone]

[leonheartedly]

—Melody was with you guys too? Heh, now I'm not worried.

[this is a lie, now he will just worry about her too.

Clasping him on the shoulder]

Welcome back.

[survivaltricks]

. . . thanks.

[a pause]

[and then he hops up and YANKS TYR INTO A HUG. this is not time to be stoic!!]

[leonheartedly]

[he would have hugged him! Eventually!!

But now is great too, hugging him back tightly :(]

[survivaltricks]

[draws back after a good long cling, and then RUFFLES TYR'S HAIR with both hands]

Fill me in! What'd I miss? Is everyone still here? Did Red keep his promise and take care of you guys, or do I need to give him a bad time?

[leonheartedly]

[WOW?? He actually sputters in surprise, and then gives Lupin A GOOD RUFFLE BACK]

Odin and Yata are still here. Red . . . was Red? He gave me an update the last time I spoke to him, said you guys were all right.

. . . [in a fake, solemn tone] I let adults into the flock, we've taken over.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . EQUALLY AS SOLEMN]

Tyr. . . how could you.

I trust you with our flock and you fill it with stinky old people?

[rude????]

[leonheartedly]

[he snorts, lips twitching]

They're stinky old troublemakers.

[survivaltricks]

[grins a li'l]

In that case, I think it's probably okay.

Thistle could always use more bad influences.

[leonheartedly]

Always. And they belong if they're with us.

In all seriousness, you didn't miss too much. Acheron transferred over from Lily, and Flora got here the other day.

[survivaltricks]

[oh! so that's Acheron. . . filing that note away for later]

I'll introduce myself first thing. Have they been settling in well?

[leonheartedly]

[he'll tell Lupin more about how that happened later]

Mmm, more or less. Things have been calm enough to let them have the time to do it - not that they haven't just fit right in.

[he nudges him a bit] I can fill you in on some of the important stuff when we get back to the barn.

[survivaltricks]

[makes a face as he rocks gently to one side, before he starts walking. he sure is a visible mess; he is in desperate need of a bath]

Mmm. All right.

. . . and I'm glad to hear things have been relatively calm.

[he'd hate to have missed something as big as, like. . . that one time Thistle ate ABSOLUTE SHIT by refusing to properly participate in the ritual]

[leonheartedly]

[yeah boy u stink. He walks alongside him, humming a little. NO EATING SHIT THANK GOD]

You even got back in time to help us plan fight club.

[survivaltricks]

[taps his temple]

I knew there was a reason by Shepherd senses were tingling.

[leonheartedly]

You mean it wasn't me talking about you earlier?

[survivaltricks]

[hand over his heart!!]

Gossiping about me behind my back?

[leonheartedly]

Of course. Told everyone your deepest secrets.

[he sobers a bit] We had a ritual earlier, we had to come up with stories; like . . . if you do this, then that happens. Second part we had to experience someone else's and it got a bit rough for us, but it was even harder for Yata. You came up when we were talking.

[survivaltricks]

How dare you. This is vice-Shepherd betrayal.

[OKAY NO MORE JOKING AROUND, Tyr is serious, time for Lupin to be serious, too]

. . . is he okay?

[leonheartedly]

[he kind of makes a face]

Physically, yeah. Nothing like that happened.

The story we got was about making wishes under a sakura tree, but we had to give up a part of ourselves in return for the wish being granted. And you know how he is - he doesn't want to be left alone. Dunno how many he made before we stopped him, but -

[survivaltricks]

[oh my GOD]

. . . is that the reason I felt like it was time to come back??

[it's a rhetorical question]

[leonheartedly]

[god he hopes that isn't why, he made some of his own wishes he might panic about later]

I told him you didn't leave him behind, so thanks for proving me right.

[survivaltricks]

[his expression. . . softens]

. . . of course I didn't leave him behind.

I'd never do that.

[leonheartedly]

[he reaches over to clasp him on the shoulder]

I know.

[survivaltricks]

[drops a hand on top of Tyr's, giving it a tight squeeze]

. . . thanks. For believing in me.
