Nim nodded a little at that. "Of course." He glanced between Dakota and Uma. "We should head back soon. So we can rest at the castle and then attend the meeting tomorrow."

Uma nodded, “just try not to be all over each other tonight okay?” She teased before getting up and getting ready to teleport away.

Nim sniffed before teleporting back to the room, hopping up onto the bed. The cat stretched before simply curling up and yawning.

Dakota teleported into the room saying, “mates sleep together right?” He asked bashfully, actually unsure. He’d only ever slept with another after having sex, and nothing more.

Nim blinked when Dakota spoke. "Yes, they do." He purred softly, encouraging his new mate to join him on the bed.

Dakota smiled a little as he went to join him, settling and tucking him feathers in as he snuggled into Nim a little. He churred softly as he closed his eyes. He was also still very new to this. He was used to being on his own still.

Nim purres softly while Dakota settled down, and was soon drifting off into sleep in content.

Dakota stayed up a while longer just processing everything that happened and what would happen in the future. A while later he did end up drifting off though, still churning softly into his mate’s fur.

The next day, Nim woke up still snuggled up with Dakota. The cat yawned, whiskers twitching as he tiredly looked over at his mate.

Dakota was still dozing, but seemed to stirr a short while after Nim did. He opened his golden eyes and blinked a few times as his eyes adjusted to the light.

Nim purred still, gently nuzzling Dakota and saying "Good morning." His tail playfully flicked his mate, the male happier than usual.

Dakota churred softly at the attention. He gently pressed the top of his head into Nim for a moment in his own form of affection as he said, “good morning, my love.” He then yawned before getting up and fluttering off the bed. He then shifted into a human and went to fix himself up, “you go find Uma. I am going to have a word with my pupil about everything that has happened and how he will deal with it.” He then looked back at Nim, “unless you’d like to tag along.”

Nim smiled softly. "I'll go find Uma first and then we'll go to you." The cat then proceeded to get up, even though he was happy where he was. "I just hope the mortals are ready to work hard. They're strong though, so I know they'll hold their own." At least for a time, but that was still good.

Dakota nodded before leaning down to gently kiss the cat’s nose. He then turned and slipped out of the room. Uma was still asleep in her room, deciding just to sleep as a human since it was more comfortable.

Nim had turned back into a tiger before heading to where Uma's room was, he pawed at the door. Or it was some sort of knocking equivalent as he tapped the door with a large paw.

A yawned as she heard the knock. She grumbled a little before getting up to answer the door. She looked down a little at Nim before smiling, “oh? Hello Nim. Where is Kota?” She asked, looking down the hallway briefly.

Nim shrugged a little. "He went to speak with the king about everything that's been happening. I came to see if you'd like to accompany me to the talk as well."

Uma nodded, “yes. We need to speak with the council and the royal family as soon as possible.” She said before shifting into a swan again. “Did he say where he was meeting him?” She asked.

Nim shook his head a little. "No, now that I realize, but I assume he'd end up somewhere like the throne room perhaps. If not, I'm sure someone knows..." They could always just port, but it would do them some good to actually move about the castle.

Uma nodded before walking out of her room. She stretched her neck up to pull the handle and close the door. “Shall we?” She asked.
Dakota was currently in the throne room bowing to Roman on one knee to the royal couple until he was told otherwise. Once he was he stood and began to speak with him and Alma.

Nim eventually reached the throne room, letting Uma walk in first. Alma looked curiously over at them, greeting the two with a small smile. The larger of the two simply nodded, bowing a little for the sake of being polite.

Roman stood and bowed a little in respect. Dakota bowed as well, since in this form he was just a normal human who needed to bow to the guides. Roman then gestured for Dakota to stand next to his throne as he went to sit, "I assume you're here to talk to me about Olgrin's defeat?" Roman asked Uma and Nim, "you're not the first."

Nim nodded a little. "Yes. Just because he's gone for now doesn't mean his armies are. The other houses should be here soon to discuss future preparations." He then looked as Alma asked "And what of the artifacts? Are they staying as they are?" Nim's whiskers twitched at that before saying "Yes. While we can reform them, we shouldn't have to."

Roman nodded, “and what about the armies? How much force do we have to prepare ourselves for? I’m not sure we have enough eligible men if it’s going up against a large army..” he admitted. Dakota looked silently from Roman to Nim and Uma.

Nim flicked an ear. "We will bring in help from elsewhere, because this danger applies to all mortals. Not just Bryghtwood." And if Bryghtwood was conquered, then so would all the smaller kingdoms across the world.

Roman nodded, “I will notify the guards then.” He said. “How will we know where and when his attack will take place? Do you know anything more?” He asked.

Nim shrugged his shoulders. Of course he knew, but it wasn't his place to tell. "I'm sure the other houses are already wary enough to end out spies. Plus, the barrier is down. Enemies likely already have started sneaking in, and that means people to capture and therefore question."

Roman nodded, “I will have my army retested and questioned to detect any snakes.” He said, “I’ll also do that same with the staff.” He wasn’t as worried as anyone who didn’t have any connections with the castle or him and Alma or their families. Dakota nodded, “I will be willing to help with questioning if you’d like, my king.” Dakota offered. Roman nodded, “yes, thank you.”

Alma then suggested "We can also send out a few spies rather than waiting for anyone to come to us. Along with questioning anyone who's suspicious enough, we should send people out to the edges of the borders and to places where you might find enemies sneaking around."

Roman nodded, deciding to trust the guides rather than question the. He looked to Alma to see what she thought or if there was anything that she would want to add before they went any further.
