Winter would soon arrive not that Tinuvel didn't already look the part. Fresh snow blankets the land from the snow fall the night before. Nico packs down the frozen liquid under his hooves as he patrols the Inlet. Though he was watching for intruders he was still hopefull the members they had lost would return. Not Warwick, who he heard has now stolen the Cove, but the ones who were true family. His dear Panda and their children. His sister's daughters who seemed to have left with their father and even Gaara left, who had seemed nice.

Zavi was upset when Gaara dissapeared with their son, but seeing her now he knew she had found someone to share the burden with. Even his mind had wondered from Panda's dissapearence with Raini being stolen. Thankfully she was home now, but those weeks had been a whirlwind of a mess. He was lucky to have Yasmina and Parvati back home to keep things safe while he was gone to Atlantis. As he nears one if the Inlet's shores he stops. His nose sniffs the air as new scents come on the wind.

They were ahead so his ears pin momentarily as he trots towards the strange duo. His shoulders tense in case it was another coming to take from him, but they ease a bit as he gets closer. A short pony-like stallion stands gaurd next to a mare resting on the ground. Nico leaves them space to hopefully feel comfortable, but he does not turn his back to them. "Is everything alright?" He asks, keeping between them and the rest of the Inlet. The mare seems to be distressed, but one could never be too sure.
