Cyrus Marshall ~ Market District - Soaring Cardinal ~
"You're not allowed in the kitchen?" Cyrus would tilt his head at this, not quite understanding how someone who was clearly a dab hand at carefully blending the right amount mixtures and ingredients together to create such useful tonics and potions, would ever be denied the opportunity to expand upon their abilities within such a location...? "I won't ask why, but what's cooking if you don't break a few eggs in the process...?" He would be more than happy to show her a few things either way - even if it meant just cooking something up over a fire outside to begin with - at the end of the day, not everything needed cooking, but he presumed she probably knew that already...?
As he was currently taking residence within the Barracks, the Tiger didn't actually have a place to call his own just yet, so perhaps it was something he could aim for in the near future? Times were quiet at the moment and well, as long as she didn't burn the place to the ground, it certainly wouldn't hurt to invite her along and show her a few things when she wasn't busy.
Casually choosing to mistake the startled hiss for an intake of breath, Cyrus would nod as Harphinia agreed that it was worth taking a break before setting the plate down on the side and leaning against the counter nearby. Hearing her greeting as she lifted her gaze to regard those entering, Cyrus would reach out to pick up another slice before pausing as the sound of someone clearing their throat caused his ears to twitch... At this, his attention would swiftly turn from regarding the snake shifter as she took a nibble of her own slice to taking in the sight of another female as she spoke of Harp accompanying them back to their place that night...
The sound of rose scrambled eggs was certainly interesting, but it was fact that the female's black ears were noticeably flattened back against her head that urged the male to avert his eyes towards the counter, his fingers finding a stray thread upon his shirt and twiddling it absent-mindedly until Harp tugged at his uniform to draw his attention back to the pair as she introduced them...
Rather than breaking his indecisive silence, the Tiger would nod an acknowledging greeting towards Leo and Leon, flashing the Blacksmith the faintest of insecure smiles before averting his gaze again as his vision crossed that of the Leopard. Clearly this was the sister Harp had mentioned and it was perhaps very wise not to say anything that could incriminate him - even though his reasons for being there were actually quite innocent... He remained quiet for the moment, listening to the Snake who, after apologising for not having their required herbs, went on to explain that she would be staying home that evening and that Cyrus was there to help her out whilst he took a break from his patrols.
Feeling the Shifter take his hand, poking it lightly, the Tiger finally realised it was time that he spoke up - he was definitely rather uncertain, but knew the wrong idea might be grasped for if he continued to hold his silence...
"I was injured upon a recent mission, but didn't want to sit back at the barracks all day feeling...useless?" he knew the slight incline in his voice perhaps wouldn't help his case, so he continued, "Harp was kind enough to find me something to do whilst I recovered and we'd just paused to have something to eat..." his eyes would finally settle upon Leonora, "Harp mentioned the meat was procured by yourself...? You certainly know the best cuts to select..." he would risk a slightly stronger smile at this point, but remained ready to react - just incase...

Leon made a mental note to see about getting the baby bed for their nursery. While they didn’t know how many cubs they’d be having they would need a bed. Perhaps the carpenter could make a larger bed for them to use? With that thought in mind, he led Leo to the Soaring Cardinal Herbal Shop. Like his lovely mate, he was surprised to see that Harp had a gentleman caller in her shop – and Cyrus from the Barracks no less – but unlike his lovely wife, he wasn’t too worried. Yes, he wanted the best for his little sister, but she had a smile on her face and a spring in her step and if it was because of the Tiger-Shifter then so be it.
When Harp came over to hug him tightly, he chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. Placing a kiss on the top of her lovely head, he sighed a little when he heard that she wouldn’t be staying with them. “Now little sister…we had a deal…” He said with a small, disapproving from, giving her one of those Big Brother looks that he knew she would interpret for what it was.
Given Harp’s pleading expression, he sighed and rolled his eyes. “Fine. But you are coming over for dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow. I need to make sure youre eating properly.” He said lightly booping her dainty nose. Looking up at Cyrus, he grinned. “You’re more than welcome to join us as well, Cyrus. We’re having roasted chicken tonight.” Made by him of course – he loved Leo but she couldn’t be trusted with the hot oven on the best of days…
Rustling Harp’s hair, he nodded toward the counter so she could help Leo get whatever else she needed – the out of stock herbs withstanding of course. Looking to Cyrus, he extended his hand in greeting to him. “Nice to see you again, Cyrus. How’s your armor and weapons holding up?” It had been nearly a year since he’d made Cyrus, a new recruit, his armor and blade, it was likely high time they received repair and sharpening. Leaning in a bit, he nodded toward his wife. “Don’t let her scare you off, she’ll warm to you eventually.” Leon said with a small wink.

Cyrus Marshall ~ Market District - Soaring Cardinal ~
It was certainly nice for Leon to invite him along for dinner that evening - Cyrus had no problem understanding how the pair could hold such concern over Harp's eating habits, what with being on her own and all - but he also couldn't shake the feeling that his presence might also add a little tension in regards to the Leopard who, as she crossed towards the counter with Harp shot him a cold stare that would have frozen anyone to the core...
Averting his eyes from the glare, Cyrus took the moment to answer Leon's question about the armour and weapons, "They certainly held up well in our latest altercation, the enemy gave us a good bashing though..." he would gesture to his shoulder at that point, but wouldn't go into detail, instead he listened as the Blacksmith offered some reassurance towards his mate's temperament, "...I certainly hope so," The Tiger would smirk as Leon reassured him that the Leopard would warm to him eventually - the female certainly gave the impression she knew how to defend herself should the need arise, that was for sure...!
Leo's next words as she turned and wandered back towards them practically backed up her strengths as well as her mistrust toward the Tiger, stating that if he ever hurt her, then he - in so many words - would go from being at the 'top of the food chain' to a prey beast what she would hunt down with all the skills of the Late Captain Reynard...
At the mention of the Fox's name, Cyrus' mouth would drop open slightly - not necessarily in shock of what Leo had just said, but more towards the emotion that betrayed her threatening approach towards the Tiger... He could see she had been hurt deeply by Reynard's 'demise' and as much as it pained him to keep the fact that the Fox was actually very much alive, Cyrus knew he had to maintain the act that Rey was as cold as the stone upon which his name had been so carefully carved...
He wanted to voice his sympathy towards the Leopard, seeing how she had dropped her gaze as the Captain's vision no doubt flooded into her mind, but within moments of uttering the statement which might very well have scared off any weaker-willed suitor, Leo then returned to insisting her sister accompanied them home that evening... There was nothing wrong in admiring her for that, but Cyrus knew a smirk at that moment might just have riled the Leopard further.
It was interesting to hear that Harp 'burnt everything' when she cooked and 'flung undergarments across the room' when washing clothing, but this was something that, rather than put him off, spurred the first real smile from the Tiger since the pair's arrival, "Well, I'm sure we can find a basket she can use in regards of the clothes...perhaps as a form of target practice?" He wasn't entirely sure about how to settle the issue regarding the Snake's ability to char anything originally edible to a crisp, but then again..."I was actually hoping to show her a few tips in regards to cooking..." He had no initial idea how he could achieve that, but to perhaps drop the hint he himself knew how to cook might just put the other's minds at rest?
The Tiger's gaze would flick unexpectedly towards Harp as she mentioned she already had dinner plans - With Him - What the pair were cooking sounded so much more beneficial to the female than sandwiches, but the look in the Snake's eyes practically begged him to perhaps get her out of going and so he continued with his sentence from before, "Infact, I had hoped to start tonight...?" he could feel Harp fidgeting and wanted to slide an arm around her back to calm her, but knew to do so would perhaps set the Leopard spitting... "I was going to send an Owl to the Barracks to let them know I was helping out and then perhaps rustle up a hearty stew with some of the ingredients we were to gather after our snack," he nodded to the baskets they would have taken outside after they'd eaten, "Broths and Stews aren't incredibly hard to burn...and then you just add more water, right?" he would look to Leo, hoping this might gain some approval before looking to Leon as Harp promised the Lion she would show up for breakfast.

╔═══════════════════
Despite Leo’s saltiness toward Cyrus, Leon was confident that if Harp and Cyrus decided to try for a relationship, that Cyrus would treat his little sister right. Leo was just more cautious about things, especially now that she was pregnant – those motherly instincts could be intense. He sighed at Leo’s threat toward Cyrus and then the hurt expression that crossed her face at the mention of Reynard. Wrapping his arm around her, Leon drew her close and placed a kiss on her forehead. “It’s alright my love, Cyrus is a good male. He’s a noble City Guard. He trained with Rey too…and you know Rey was an excellent judge of character.” He said reassuringly, knowing that that would give Cyrus a few points in his favor.
As the conversation moved on to dinner, he looked between the three other shifters and sighed a bit as Harp claimed to already have dinner plans with Cyrus, who was doing well to field all of Leo’s questions and points in a civil and charming way. “Oh, I’m sure Harp would love to learn a few cooking tips…and yes, soup and stew are one of the few foods that are nearly impossible to burn.” Leon said with a wink and a smile that were directed toward Harp and Cyrus.
"Besides…that means I can pamper you a bit tonight, my love." Leon said, lightly rubbing at Leo’s shoulder. "I think that would be lovely…and we can have Harp over for breakfast. I bet she couldn’t mind stopping at the bakery and picking up some of your favorite pastries…" He knew his mate wouldn’t be able to resist that little treat, especially given her current state of pregnancy.
Leon could tell that Harp was attracted to the tiger shifter and that she felt comfortable around him. Given that she was hanging around him, touching him idly and likely subconsciously – she did that to him when she needed comfort. It was a good sign in his mind, and he knew, given his history with Cyrus, that the male wouldn’t hurt her intentionally.
"Now my love, why don’t we head out into the market to-" Leon’s words were stopped mid-sentence when a rumbling sound permeated the air. It was far off, but for their sensitive shifter hearing, it was very clear. "Was that…?" It sounded like an explosion of some kind. Senses immediately going on high alert, he held Leo closer to himself. He’d be damned if he let his pregnant wife go running into danger, and given Leo’s thirst for violence, he knew damn well that she would.
"I don’t know what that was, but I don’t want to wait around to find out." Leon knew that Cyrus would likely want to investigate – he was a city guard after all – but Leon was letting his mate or his sister anywhere near the danger. "Leo, stay with me, Harp, you too." Looking to Cyrus, he wondered if the shifter would run off, or stay to defend them – his money was on Cyrus doing his duty to the city. "I’ll keep them safe…" Leon said with a firm nod to Cyrus. "Go." Leon prayed it wasn’t another attack, but then again, his luck was never that good to begin with…

Cyrus Marshall ~ Market District - Soaring Cardinal ~
It seemed as though the Leopard wasn't going to budge on her decision to separate the pair - at least until Leon's silver tongue reassured the female Shifter that Cyrus' presence was not only something he was content with, but also that the act of 'leaving the pair be' would also give them the advantage of a little time to themselves, some pampering and some pastries in the morning...It certainly sounded like a good deal.
The Tiger relaxed ever so slightly as he watched Leo's tense demeanour begin to ease - even if her tail continued to twitch occasionally, he was confident that whatever plans they had hastily thought up would actually play out quite nicely - for one, he would be resting, whilst at the same time, was he not technically assisting a citizen? Something he certainly didn't mind when it came to the beautiful female who still kept quite a grip upon his shirt. He would raise his hand to wave the pair off as they started making preparations to leave, smirking as he saw Harp stick out her tongue before feeling a sickening sensation suddenly run throughout his body as the sounds of a distant explosion forced a subconscious twitch in his ears...
Leon - a Cat Shifter like Cyrus - immediately paused in his sentence as the unmistakable sound reached his senses, drawing attention to something they both hoped wasn't the start of another assault on the City... Knowing it was his duty to investigate, the Tiger's eyes flicked towards Leon as he spoke of protecting the females, then to Leo as she reminded her sister that he had a duty as a guard to go... There was no denying it, he had to go and as Harp immediately began to lay out all the reasons why he should stay with them...where it was safe...he took the Snake-Shifter in a gentle, yet reassuring hug as her hands dropped to her sides.
He felt his shoulder dampen slightly from Harp's tears, but knew to linger any longer would only make leaving that much harder and so he reluctantly ended the embrace, "I don't need a feast for Kings to bring me back," his eyes would lock with Leo's as her hand graced his cheek, "Just knowing there is a Girl worth fighting for, waiting for my return is enough," he smiled back at Harp, extending a hand to wipe away a tear from the Snake's eye before turning as Leon gave him that reassuring nod that would send him on his way, "Stay safe, all of you."
He wanted to give Harp one more hug, but it had already been moments since the explosion and he knew time was of the essence and so, grabbing what uniform he had worn upon arrival, he pulled in on and took his leave...
