Conley Brothers

Felix grit his teeth "Keith!" He snapped "wake someone to check on everyone, then guard Camilla" he ordered without waiting for him to respond, he was always close.

With that he was knocking on Leons door, but again, did not wait and let himself in. "Leon?"
 
Keith appeared from the shadows long enough to salute to Felix then slipped away to look for any others who'd been hurt.

"Shh!" Leon scolded, putting a finger to his lips. "She's resting!"
 
Leon glanced towards the bed, quiet a moment before he spoke in a more hushed voice "what's going on?"

The others all seemed to be fine, whatever had attacked had selected two that had already been outside
 
"I have absolutely no idea," Leon said, shaking his head, "but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with your debt. She said it was like that time right before you started the circus."
 
Felix waved a hand, a greenish mist swirled around him and just like that he was dressed "stay here with her" he frowned "you're in charge until I return"
 
"We can't both go" Felix said shaking his head "besides. You wanted nothing to do with the debt" he reminded, opening the door for Keith
 
"I'm not interested in it, but I am interested in whatever and whoever is trying to kill my sister," Leon snapped. "Let me guess, you're late on your payments so they are helping themselves?"
 
Felix frowned deeper "I am not late" he said "stay here" he repeated "I'm going to find out what's going on" he didn't have time to argue with him
 
"Fine," Leon grumbled, sitting down. He had a few words to say about his brother and this situation, but he stay put and stared at Creepy Keith, who silently sat and stared back. Keith had been told to guard Camilla, so he did.

Meanwhile, Claudius picked up on the sound of footsteps and started growling deep in his throat without realizing it. The tarp moved, and Vlad's face appeared. Claudius relaxed just a little.

"Starnacht?" Vlad called softly.
 
Star looked up from where he had settled down "I am here" he said softly back, unsure at the moment who he would rather be with at the moment. He felt safe with both of them
 
Vlad smiled, relief flooding him. "Good, you are still safe," he sighed. "Come, let's go back to the wagon with the twins. I want all three of you where I can see you."
 
Star hesitated before he sat up and gave Claudius a hug "thank you for keeping safe" he said quietly "you are ok to be alone?"
 
Claudius stiffened at the hug, but he didn't pull away. "I will be fine. Go be with your family."

Vlad stepped back a little, holding up the tarp as he waited.
 
He nodded a little and slipped out of thr cage and held Vlads arm to stay close to someone.

Adanya in the mean time started to come around, groaning quietly.

Chib remained unresponsive
 
"I'm sorry I left you, Star. I thought you'd be safer with Claudius," Vlad said softly as they walked. "I'm with you now, and I won't leave you alone again unless I absolutely must."

~~

Kazimir stared out the window humming softly as he folded then refolded what looked like a pillowcase. He heard Adanya stirring and turned to face her. "You are awake! How are you feeling?"

"I am safe with him" Star said "not upset..he help me be more calm" he said but still clung on to him

--

Adanya lifted a hand to her head "striker..?" She blinked and tried to look for the old tiger but there was no sign of him
 
Vlad paused and picked up Star. He was a little big to be carried, but Vlad made it work as he made his way the rest of the way to the wagon. It was only a few more minutes away through the dark, and he was only too happy to let them in, closing and bolting the door behind them.

~~

"Striker?" Kazimir repeated. "That is one of your friends?"
 
Star hugged him as he was carried, snuggling in close and hiding his face against Vlad. He relaxed being held like that, likely not unlike his own parent would have carried him. This was just what he had needed

--

Adanya tried to sit up but felt faint and haf to lay back before she passed out "yes. My tiger. He was with me"
 
The twins were waiting anxiourly, sitting on the bed at the front of the wagon. "Where were you?" they demanded in unison.

Vlad lifted Starnacht up and set him on the bed. "There was a bit of trouble, that is all."

The twins stared at him, clearly not buying it, but for once they didn't push. Instead, they looked at Star. "Are you okay?"

~~

Kazimir shook his head. "I did not see a tiger. There was only you and this person on the ground. Vladimir told me to look after you, but there are no tigers."
