"No, no circle, just... family, I guess. If I got too close to you uninvited, how would Riki react?"

"Depend if in circle or not. Riki know Fiadh can protect herself, Fiadh as good as Riki in fight. Hunt alone as well as with Riki, not as good as other brothers but they older" Fiadh looked over at the Dragon-butterfly standoff "if not circle then Riki allowed to be here. Riki just bringing hunt to me."

Ari listened, glancing back down the dock. "Well, I think we all want to be on Riki's good side."

Calico finally got to her feet as things... ironed out.

"Fire and I have a somewhat... awkward history. So, if you'd take some advice? Careful where Riki's seen. Sounds to me like people already blame you for plenty, and that can be a problem whether you actually do it or not."

There was a small growl at that.

"Riki and Fiadh do nothing wrong. People cross into Riki circle, Riki tell them to go. They don't go, Riki and Fiadh make them go, they then say Riki and Fiadh attack them. I don't go to people circle and stay if ask to leave. Riki and Fiadh family have big circle in sand place, Fiadhs is smallest and Rikis next smallest. People not try to go to oldest brothers circle, why they go to ours?"

"Dunno. Is your circle always in the same place, or does it move?"

Post by **Fiadh** » Wed Apr 12, 2023 4:58 am

"Not move. Sometimes grow, sometimes smaller. Depend if brothers feel like taking or rock pincer creature attack" Fiadh growled "drive them away when do. Riki want to grow circle, feel his too small compared to brothers."

After deciding that maybe Ari's player had lost this low-consequence thread in the shuffle [

] Calico cleared her throat.

"If the size of the circle changes, how are they supposed to know where it is? If it gets bigger than it was the last time they went by, suddenly they're crossing it when they weren't. If they're over halfway in the desert, then turning around might be just as fatal as trying their luck with you."

Ari continued to listen quietly, ocassionally glancing at Riki.

Sorry. I am paying attention. I just didn't have anything to add to the conversation.

There was a frown.

"Riki tell, same as rest of family. Riki always warn, Fiadh always warn. If still pushing into circle then drive away. Is not like we attack without warn."

"But again, if going around means they run out of water and die... maybe you guys could... I dunno, work out a toll system instead?"

Post by **Fiadh** » Sun Apr 16, 2023 1:20 pm

There was a tilt of the head.

"What is toll?"

Post by **Calico Carter** » Sun Apr 16, 2023 1:24 pm

"You, uh... have them give you something for permission to cross your circle- not to stay, just to pass through. Like... I dunno. Meat? Some of the water they get to save by not going around?"

Post by **Fiadh** » Sun Apr 16, 2023 1:42 pm

"People give Fiadh food to cross Fiadh circle?"

Fiadh looked over at Riki as she frowned.

"People leave things behind when Fiadh and Riki chase them off circle. Say to just accept stuff to let them cross instead is less bad. Riki oldest brother no listen to Fiadh much, Riki and other brother might. Not know where others are."

Post by **Calico Carter** » Sun Apr 16, 2023 1:44 pm

"Just... something to try, when you get home."

Calico half-smiled.

"You'll still have to fight plenty of people, but if buying their way out is an option, you won't need to fight so many."

Post by **Fiadh** » Sun Apr 16, 2023 1:46 pm

"Maybe human ok. Not humans though try to take circle" Fiadh scowled "many creatures try to take circle. Is many fighting, even Fiadh need to. Riki look out for Fiadh though. Fiadh look out for RIki too, both smallest of our family."

Post by **Calico Carter** » Sun Apr 16, 2023 1:50 pm

"Give some people a chance. If they don't take it... well. You tried."

Post by **Ari** » Sun Apr 16, 2023 7:57 pm

"Defending yourselves is fine." Ari finally spoke up. "But, making friends and allies can make that easier. The more in your circle, the more there are to protect it."

Post by **Fiadh** » Mon Apr 17, 2023 3:31 am

There was a small snarl at that.

"More in circle, less circle. More to take feeding, no good."

Post by **Calico Carter** » Mon Apr 17, 2023 3:46 am

"Yeeeeeeah, I think the desert's not a good place for too many to stay, but... to buy their way through might be... simpler. For everyone."
