Daciana & Reima
"So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those stars will always be there to guide you. And so will I."
The large canines head craned as she looked down at the small, white cat, who had now spoke her response. Daciana didn't really say much, and stood in silence, saying the felines name 'Ilirhaeya' over several times in her had, picturing the name with her face. After, the lass gave a quick nod to her head as she looked the cat over quickly, before facing her once more. A smile seemed to form at the canines maw as she let out a chuckle, jerking her head back, not to mean anything though. "Nice to meet you, Ilirhaeya." she'd nod, before continuing "Well thank you, but I'm just an ordinary dog.... You may call me Daciana" she'd quickly add on after. Although she hadn't been one to befriend cats, and didn't even like them for that matter, the apocalypse seemed to have had a strange cast on the canine. She was now welcoming cats with open arms, when usually she wouldn't have hesitated on ripping one to shreds. Maybe it was because her and the pup were somewhat lonely, although she wouldn't admit it and she'd never let it show. But, maybe it was cause they'd be a perfect playmate or friend to Reima. She was only here to simply protect the pup, and any others whom decided to join their small and somewhat close knit 'pack' as they'd call it. However, there only seemed to be a build up in cats, Felix and possibly this Ilirhaeya if she decided she'd want to stick around. Maybe it'd take some of the weight off of Dacianas shoulders, but then again she didn't want to seem weak and in competition with a feline. Although, her presence didn't mind her.
Reima on the other hand noticed the battle had finished. The muffled growls and piercing yelps soon died down, the horrific battle now vanished from her brown pools. The frightening scenes were now over. And her mother came out victorious. The youngster wasn't bothered about the presence of a new cat, like how she was before, she wanted to make sure Daci was alright, then she'd move her attention on to the feline. Maybe this would be another friend. Feeling something brush against her side, the Catahoula would turn her attention on to the slightly smaller creature by her side. Raising a brow, the black marked canine would tilt her head, watching as the feline made his way from under the porch. Nodding her head quickly, the squeezed herself out of the gap, then quickly and viciously shaking her pelt. Sending dust and cobwebs flying off of her smooth coat. Quickly trotting forward, she'd stop at the felines side as he rolled, an amused expression seeming to form at the pups maw as she watched him do so. Once done, she followed the feline towards the small gathering area, her tail wagging and her face lit up as Daciana stood tall and proud. Quietly yipping, the pup would bound over as fast as she could, leaping up at her mother figure and licking her. "You're alright!" She'd bark, wrapping herself around the larger canines legs, before setting herself beside her, avoiding her bad leg, pressing her head against her with a contempt look expressed on her face.
A chuckle seemed to emit from the Malinois' maw as she looked down at the pup "I'm fine... Might have old bones but I manage..." she chuckled, gently nudging the pup, then running her tongue across the pups cheek, Dacis stern expression fell back over her face. Shuffling slightly, she'd avoid putting weight on her left paw, until it began to heal that is. Hopefully it was just a small sprain. Running her tongue across her maw, she'd collect the clots of blood, then spit them out to the side of her. The taste horrid, one which made her sick to the core. However, she managed to hold herself back. Before anything else was said, a sudden hiss caught the canines' attention. Raising a brow, the two would look at Felix, confusion striking the duo as they looked at one another, then back at the two cats. Letting out a grunt, Daciana would set herself on her haunches, Reima pushing herself in closer. If a fight was to break out between the two, it'd quickly be stopped. There was enough of that for one day.
Listening carefully, the two canines watched in confusion as the two felines seemed to bicker between one another, comments being thrown to and fro, some hurtful, and some out of line. Although, they were unsure if the two felines knew one another, this being one of the main reasons they were reluctant to interrupt the small argument. Feeling something tap at her leg, Daciana looked down, there sat the pup looking at her. "What are they arguing for?..." Reina would whisper, gesturing towards the two felines with a shrug. Chuckling at the pups expression, and the fact she whispered, Dacia shrugged "I couldn't tell you.." she chuckled, then looked back at them both. As things progressed, things seemed to get a little out of hand, the white feline seeming to be offended and hurt, Felix clearly showing guilt as he spoke up. Sighing "Ilirhaeya done a good job, she helped me. Felix, thank you for keeping Reima safe. I appreciate it" she'd speak up before continuing "Do you two thing arguing is the best way? There's bigger things to worry about, with those ugly things running around... Maybe you two can learn to get along?" she'd question, tilting her head. Her voice back to its rasped and strict tone. Reima seeming to stand up with Daci and nod her head in agreement.
