Bastion was running around Salsola with Enigma. It still amazed him how quickly the pup had grown. And Enigma was still growing at that. The pup was most certainly going to end up being larger than Bastion, that much was for certain. But then again his own siblings were larger than himself and he had come to find out that this was his brother's son. At least that was the biological factoring into it but Bastion had claimed Enigma as his own and so he would be the father that Enigma knows. And he had even charged his brother with the task of going out and making more for him.

While Bastion wasn't looking Enigma had ran out towards the borders and ended up getting chased back by a loner. It was lucky that the traps located around the borders had snagged the canine before Enigma could be harmed. Still, just Enigma explaining what had happened was enough to upset Bastion. How dare someone think to try and harm something that belonged to him? Who was it that thought it would be wise to try and steal something of his? Well Bastion was determined to find that much out.

He sent up a short call to summon Janos and went to go explore, Enigma trailing along at his side. He allowed the younger boy to lead the way once they got closer to the borders to that he could point out exactly where to find the attacker so that they wouldn't have to waste time walking along the whole stretch of the borders. The small male ended up approaching the trapped loner with a shake of his head. He didn't bother to say or do anything but simply stood to the side and watched, waiting for Janos to get there since he would need to the other male's strength in order to help free the loner as well as to restrain the canine once it was released from the trap.

Janos had been just as amazed as Bastion with how quickly their child had grown but it was the change in Enigma that really surprised him. He had grown up so quickly, the pup becoming more and more independent and looking more like Bastion every day that it was rather endearing. Janos found himself on high alert most of the time all the same, though, seeming to be even more uptight than normal keeping track of not one but two of his loved ones. He would not let what happened to his clan that he traveled with for so long happen to Bastion and Enigma. While his two loves went to go and play, Janos was cleaning up around the camp, hunting, cleaning, and stringing up the food for their dinner and he was okay with that. He wouldn’t mind being with the two of them but this was important too, especially if they were going to be eating that night. Suddenly a call went up for him, and a fear lanced through him, causing him to hurry up and finish the knot he was making before he began to run, trying his hardest to catch up with the source of the call. He knew who it originated from and it scared him with the urgency of the call. His feet couldn’t lead him fast enough towards Bastion, his jacket fluttering behind him as he ran, his brand hidden by the bandages that he always kept tied tightly around his ribs, keeping his sign out of the way.

He crashed through the brush and immediately caught the scent of his love leading away from the area and he followed along the scent trail until he came across Bastion and Enigma by the captured male. He turned from the figure to the two smaller males, taking a step towards the one that was hanging up, reaching over to sniff at the male hanging up before he turned towards Enigma and Bastion. ”Master, Enigma, what is going on?” He asked before he turned to the figure hanging up. Figuring that he was called to drop the man, he reached up and with a smooth flick cut the rope and in that smooth motion had moved to grab hold of the rogue’s arms and placed the knife’s edge up against the rogue’s neck as he waited for a response. He wouldn’t kill him or exact any sort of justice on him until he knew the whole story, or perhaps not even then. All he needed was the right words from Bastion, and this figure in his arms would be nothing but a dead body, someone else to give life to the next generation of flora and fauna. His life meant nothing to Janos, especially if he had dared to even attempt to harm a hair on the head of Bastion or Enigma. That was completely unforgivable and he wasn’t afraid to let his anger fly. He didn’t really have the best of tempers after all. But perhaps Bastion had another idea. Either way he had a feeling that he would find out very soon indeed.
