Quix looked around at her Maji Walezi pal excitedly and then spotted a little soft fluffy owl floating down in an unsure manner, only to land onto the woolly coat of Timby. "Dark!” she yipped in greeting towards him, delighted to see all of them gathered at one place. Being thus excited, she remained oblivious to how the sheep was feeling in the midst of all their rowdiness, dismissing it as nerves in meeting so many gembounds at one go. She nudged the sheep’s leg to reassure him and then…

Cancer’s voice came forth – strong, and authoritative but not without a dollop of kindness. His paw came upon her and she protested and squirmed. "Daaaaaaddddd…”, then she wriggled her furry butt so that she could escape from beneath his clutches. She looked towards Timby following Cancer’s speaking and the answer seemed rather neither here nor there but perhaps…with shining eyes, she looked to Cancer and nodded. "I believe that is a yes!” she grinned and looked at Timby, her tail furiously wagging.

The bird felt the link touch his mind, a shouting clear and ringing voice, angry and insulting--or perhaps insulted? He struggled to untangle his talons, squawking and squeaking as he fluttered down to the ground. He couldn't see where he was going! He was blind! It wasn't his fault! His grasp on language wasn't that clear, or rather very often his thoughts wouldn't translate properly into words, and so it seemed natural to just respond via thoughts, wincing away as he did so. At first he managed to broadcast a word, and then he lost control of the magic, so that it became a ringing screeching wordless squall into the lamb's mind, brief but piercing.

WHAT'S A PEASANT I'M BLINDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

The meal he ate before-hand sat heavy in his stomach. The tiny fox had wandered off to a safe spot to have a bit of a doze. He stirred in his sleep every now and then. There was talking and movement close. Al-Addir grumbled to himself as he slowly rose onto four legs and trotted toward the source of the noise.

He sauntered from his secret spot and down toward where a group of others were gathered. Al-Addir recognized Quix and Cancer and gave a happy little yap as he sped up. He also noticed other creatures. One was a four-legged fluffy thing with little hard feet, the second was some sort of two-legged thing, much smaller than the second. Swimming in a pool in the cavern was the final creature he noticed. Some sort of pool-creature with smooth skin and a large gem on it's back.

The tiny fennec was still groggy. He smacked his lips a little as he joined the menagerie of creatures that had gathered in Pisces's main sprawl. "Hey Quix... Sir." He said, sitting and putting one paw to the side of his face for a moment; then returning to all-fours, "Hello, others!" He added cheerfully, smiling a bit.

"New recruits?" He asked Cancer, looking the sheep and owl over. "Nice to meet you all!" He paused for a moment, to find a comfortable spot to lay for a moment and continue "waking up".

Just then another animal who seemed to be in Maji Wallezi showed up. He guessed it was a fox because him and Quix looked like they were almost the same. He had to realise though, this group of gembounds had lots of members. He hoped he never do something bad to any of them because he wouldn't want to fight so many animals. Not that he could however, he had little to no combat training.

Timby noticed this fox seemed like a.. soldier with his 'sir' talk. Maybe he would have to act like that too later. He also said it was nice to meet him and the others so he felt it was only polite to say the same back.
"Nice to meet you too..um.. whats your name?"

Al-Addir was glad this strange, fluffy beast seemed friendly enough. He smiled and trotted in place for a moment as he looked the sheep, fixated on the jewel that adorned his forehead.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself..." He trailed off. "I'm sorry, it's just you... remind me of a cloud... for some reason..." He paused, not sure what a cloud was, or why Timby reminded him of one... Maybe it was his colour, or texture, but he couldn't be sure; his gaze drifting upwards for a moment, as he babbled before returning to the here and now.

"My name's Al-Addir." The tiny fox replied. "Cancer's the leader, 'cause he's the biggest... I think..." He grinned a bit. "So what he says, goes."

The fox seemed to be in a daze. He said Timby looked like a cloud.. what was a cloud? Sounds interesting maybe you should see if anyone else knows about them. He started to come out of the transe-like daze he was in and introduced himself. His name was Al-Addir."Could I call you Al?" asked the sheep. It was a pretty long name if you wanted to say it in a hurry so he shortened it, much like his own.

He then started to tell him about the large black cat who was identified as Cancer. He was right, he was the leader. He guessed he was in this group now. Either that or these people were very friendly to just give out their identities.

OOC: not sure of the order but not wanting this to drag, lets close it (:

It was a wonderful sign that the little sheep called Timby had started exchanging names with others! "And I’m Quix, the fennec fox," he finished, and smiled at Al-Addir who had just arrived on scene. "Well then, welcome to Maji Walezi Timby!” she grinned and suddenly feeling tired from journeying all the way after meeting Timby, she decided to quietly leave the gathering and jump onto Cancer’s ledge and curl up there and sleep, not waiting for Daddy to wrap his paws around her.

-Exit Quix-

The puffy white-furred being asked if he could call him "Al". Quix, the other being like him had taken to calling him Al from time to time. It was a lot shorter and easier to get out; just one syllable. The tiny fox nodded.

"Yeah, feel free to Timby." He replied. "But yeah, I'm gonna jet." Al-Addir explained, turning around; then looking back over his shoulder. "I'm off to maybe dig up some bugs, if I find any good ones, I'll share." He was unsure what Timby ate, but extended the offer anyway, if just to be polite. "See you later, everyone!"

With that, Al wandered off to a corner of the cave to dig for tasty bugs, grubs and worms.
