((Haha. Well, they're about to leave, anyways...))
Nate finished with Morpheus, who looked vaguely as is white fire was licking at his paws. Mirage took the male by the scruff, motioning with her tail for Jett to do the same with Esmerelda, and wondering why the designs on both of those cubs were so much simpler.

Jett picked Esmerelda up, following his mate. He looked back at Diana and Numbus sadly. Are we off to the Guild, Mirage?

Lead the way.[/i] Mirage thought affectionately, stopping to let him pass in front of her.

With a sleeping Esmerelda clutched tightly in his mouth, Jett bounded from the barn and into the snow. He was running really fast down the steep that was the mountain. The weather did not change below, as it was winter for everyone now. He slid on ice a few times when they were on level ground, but looked past it. After about five minutes he was at the front of the Guild, having gone around the town so that he or his mate or cubs would not get killed by any poachers(Sp).

Mirage followed close behind, travelling at a gait which made her paws barely leave imprint in the snow. We're here.[/i] she said nervously as the watchman opened the doors, recognizing Jett and seeing the newborns. Mirage hung back; she was comfortable with the Collective.

Jett looked back when Mirage didn't follow him inside the gates. He walked up to her and set down a terrified Esmerelda. Why aren't you coming? he asked her. He tried to persuade her with nuzzling. Come on, I really want you to meet Ginny.

Reluctantly she picked up her paws again. Okay...[/i] She still proceeded slowly, slinking in as if she'd done something wrong.

Loosen up, Mirage. Jett said after seeing her walking slowly. He picked up Esmerelda again and walked behind his mate until they were inside the gates. She will love you, he told her, thinking about Ginny.

She picked up the pace, having no real choice because of the speed Jett was going. ANd the panther certainly didn't want to lose sight of him and be stranded who-knows-where in the Guild. Fine. If you say so...[/i]

Okay, fine... she might not be so tolerant at first, but I'll talk to her. He trotted all the way to the barracks and found Ginny's room easily because her scent was really strong around the outside of her door. Here we go, Mirage, he said nervously and turned to her. He set down Esmerelda who dropped her her feet and blinked up at Jett. He motioned to Mirage to set down Morpheus, then he gently pushed open her door.

Miraage's tail twitched with agitation as she slipped in after Jett, still hanging back. This'll be a lovely mess...[/i]

"Oh, hello, Jett!" said Ginny out loud. She went to go and hug the panther, excited to see him and also wondering where he had been all day. Then, she saw two miniature panthers, cubs obviously. One looked exactly like him with soft spots, and the other had silver spots. If this wasn't enough of a surprise, another panther, obviously the female and mother of the cubs, entered the room. She had scars on her back and that's when Ginny noticed Jett's scars. What's going on, Jett, she asked him with her mind this time, very confused. Esmerelda ran up to Ginny, licking her feet.

Mirage sat, letting down Morpheus, who lolled around in that heartbreaking way of young animals before sliding across the floor to flop down on Ginny's feet.

Jett did not answer his master just yet as she picked up Morpheus. The male cub licked at her face and tried to grab a lock of her hair, and she laughed, kissing it on the cheek. That's Morpheus, Jett told Ginny tentatively. He's one of my four cubs. And this, he touched his nose to Esmerelda's bum, this is Esmerelda, my first born.... our first born. He looked at Mirage lovingly, if panthers could do that. And... Who is this? Ginny asked Jett, nodding to Mirage. My new life-mate, Jett replied. Her name is Mirage. This time, Jett's thought-voice was filled with love.

(9Bah. I don't know what to say to that, so....))
Mirage tilted her head at Ginny, still drawn back into herself. Ronded ears were flattened close to her skull; she did not like this place. And the panther was scared some Spirit would recognise her, and worse would follow....fittingly, Mirage could smell Ginny's Issot everywhere.
