Necthan
I am a hunter, Hunter, Warrior, Whatever answered after listening to Nec's own answer, giving a foreleg a casual lick. Or whatever the Crowd needs of me. My Igetis dictates that. The Ylz's face reflected some baffled surprise when the big bat landed on the Changeling, but he refrained from comment.
Orinda
We Can Both Benefit turned his head briefly to lick at his shoulder where a scratch was irritating him before answering.
Shelter, he answered, Food and water and space for us to live. Safety from those who would hunt us for their own ideas of - He was interrupted as Hard Choices barked at him. If there was a Mindspoken command as well she sent it to him alone but he left off whatever he was about to say, licking at a cut foreleg. That would be a start.
Ixeh
Hard Choices growled slightly, and Swift as the Wind would after another moment of hesitation extend a foreleg for treatment, apparently the one the Igetis had decided would be the first to be tended to (in other words the Guinea pig). Certainly the Ylz would patiently let Ixeh clean and wrap a long, somewhat deep cut on his leg; looked like it came from some kind of blade perhaps.
Everyone
Hard Choices abruptly gave a sharp bark, loud and startling. Her Crowd all looked at her, and there was a minute or so of silence. Then the Igetis stood, and her Crowd did as well, and without another Mindspoken word to anyone ran off.
Except for a few who lingered: We Can Both Benefit, Hunter, Warrior, Whatever, and Swift as the Wind.
You interest me, We Can Both Benefit commented to Orinda, sounding amused. You sound odd, smell odd. I think I'll follow you for now.
Bond! We Can Both Benefit from This Female Defteros to Orinda!
Hunter, Warrior, Whatever yawned, not even looking at his former Crowd as they departed.
I am a hunter, the Ylz repeated to Nec, and you seem to be one as well. I'm hungry, so shall we go?
Bond! Hunter, Warrior, Whatever I'm Needed to Be Male Archontas to Necthan!
Swift as the Wind looked curiously at the bandaging job Ixeh had done, turning his leg this way and that.
This is very good. he commented, and I'm tired. We traveled long, and I'd already hunted and run much before. You have food, and can heal. I choose to go with you, my new Hunt Leader.
Bond! Swift as the Wind After my Prey Male Katoteros to Ixeh!

Hard Choices led the final member of her Crowd out of the Village, the pair looking at one another in a final, parting glance. Then they scattered to the winds to seek their fortunes.

One might find this Ylz either impossible to deal with, or the most beneficial partner imaginable. The Defteros Ylz were the ones that the orcs would negotiate with for their rite of passage tests back in the day and she has not only maintained that bargaining mind but honed it further. Even as they were fighting for their lives she used it to her advantage, convincing several young orc warriors that another was to kill her and steal their glory to make them fight one another instead. Granted whether the bargain is an even win-win or if she'll edge toy out depends on both how you treat her and how she feels on any given day. After all, she can have only do much respect for a non-Ylz.
Charcoal gray all over, her spine-teaching cobalt blue line makes it easy to spot her from behind. She is a couple of centimeters under two feet tall at the shoulder, visibly smaller than her Matriarch despite being older by a couple years.

It is hard to be the last survivor of your closest friends. Though not the only one of his Crowd to live to see another sunrise he is the sole Archontas and that is not Ann easy thing to bear. They are the warriors, the hunters, the defenders. In ones and twos they all fell to orc weaponry save him. To say that sometimes he feels the sting of survivor's guilt is an understatement, but he does his best to hide it and not show such a weakness. Instead he tries to sooth the thoughts by being as useful as he can be to his new Crowd, that is his Bonded. So he'll hunt, and fight, and defend, and never let such a tragedy happen again. Just don't expect an overabundance of affectionate displays; he has his pride to think of and what Ylz is a lap puppy?
The fur that wraps his foot and a half frame is a rich steel gray color, almost giving him the appearance of being a masterfully-crafted statue when he sits still enough. As usual for his rank he has no markings.

Perhaps the only reason any of the Crowd survived at all is due to this Katoteros. Out on a hunting expedition with others, they spotted the approaching orcs and he was sent back at top speed to warn everyone while the rest tried to move around to a flanking position. Does he expect any glory for the deed? Not really. Would it be nice to be acknowledged? Most certainly! He's a bit of an opportunist at heart, used to eating as much of the kill as he could as fast as he could, otherwise risking not having enough to replenish the energy lost in taking the prey down. Now that the Crowd is effectively disbanded he's looking for a new Hunt Leader to follow, far more comfortable taking orders than giving them, and if he's lucky not always sharing his lunch with others!
He's the color of the storm clouds before the rain breaks, that lighter shade that warns rain is coming. Like his rank he carries the light blue spine stripe and front leg stripes, and he stands just under a foot and a half tall.
