Kiara was baffled by the strangeness of the creature before her, it was just something about the long legs and now the smoke coming from it. Tilting her head to the side she cast a sideways glance back to Ciceron trying to figure out what to do? Returning her gaze to the creature known as Annabelle she growled softly flicking her tail as hesitant steps brought it closer to her. Was it supposed to smoke like that? Smoke was fire...would this strange thing burn her?

The grey cast his gaze down to his companion at his feet when the growl sounded from her, being a feline it was hard to figure out just exactly what she had going through her mind. "Kiara, be nice." He commented gently just to make sure she was following the appropriate thought process before turning his attention back to Biru and Midas. " No need to apologize she is doing no harm." He replied with a smile motioning down to Annabelle briefly. " At that age they all like to figure out things for themselves." Chuckling he could only remember the mischief that Kiara had gotten into her first couple weeks. He had lost count how many times he had pried Parelia's falcon from her paws when she just couldn't help herself from trying to play with him or the times she had tried to bite off way more than she could chew in her early hunting days. Things that were double her size never made for a good combo especially when they tried to retaliate. He would always laugh at the time she had cornered a gopher only to have it start chasing her around.

As he listened to Biru's questions he couldn't help but try and place faces to his parents based on his appearance. Not to many of the newer arrivals seemed to have history here in Helovia, maybe he might even know them by random chance. Picturing him as a warrior didn't take a huge stretch of imagination but he did have a rather difficult time imagining the long legged companion turning out to be much for a battle situation, then again it obviously had the guts to approach Kiara maybe he would be pleasantly surprised. " Well I can help you with the warrior's duties as I myself am one of our herds warriors." He commented with a reassuring smile. " Here in the Hidden Falls our main job is to protect the herd from any danger, so we all take turns running the borders of our home to check for anything out of the ordinary or any others who do not belong to our herd."

Pausing for a moment to double check that Kiara was not getting into any mischief he continued. " If there were ever a battle to break out between herds for something or another we would be expected to defend those in need and ensure our homes safety. I know Midas does not force anyone to take up becoming a warrior if they do not want to, so the choice is completely up to you. For any who come into our land uninvited we are supposed to intercept them, figure out what they want and chose to either escort them in or to turn them away depending on their intentions. Either they go willingly or if needed we can provide a little force should be feel threatened by them." Finishing his statement he glanced over to Midas to see if there was anything more he had forgotten about, or anything he wished to add. Since Midas and Seele ultimately had the final say over who stayed and who left he decided it might be best to leave the question of if they needed capable warriors up to him to explain.

Hearing her name the striped feline felt a little annoyed at being reprimanded for something she hadn't done but in the same sense a little more reassured that the Annabelle was not going to hurt her. Chuffing to the fawn like creature this time she sat up just as the brilliant feathers of the winged one's companion came fluttering down. Turning her head she jumped up playfully and tried to bat at the trailing feathers as the phoenix swooped down to land upon the golden ones back. Flicking her tail around she glanced back and forth between the two companions trying to figure out who might play.
