The half breed mumbled out his name. "I'm Akando."

Emerald nodded. "Well, Akando, if you don't find my suggestion totally insane and sick, I will be surprised. How would you like to be a memeber of the Scratch Sisters?" Emerald asked, her voice just as casual as before even though the question she was asking was totally strange and twisted.

Akando stared. Did this feline suggest what he thought he heard. "I...I... you'll take me in? But I'm a canine!"

Emerald shrugged. "I had to live with a canine once before. So have the two Hands. We are use to it by now. And yes we would take you in, as long as you don't have any issues serving under a cat's orders. If you try to be dominant over us because we are cats, there will be consequences." Emerald explained, making it perfectly clear that he would not get special treatment and he would not be able to intimidate them to get what he wanted just because he was a dog.

Akando nodded. "I expected that of course." He looked back to the ocean. "Hell, one of mine living as a subordinate in a pack of cats." He shook his head. "it'd be nice to be be needed by others for once and not hated... and have some use."
He turned around, ears and tail lowered appropriately to show she was leader. "Alright, Emerald. I'll join."

Emerald smiled. "Very well then. What rank do you wish to be Akando?" She asked.

(pretend Emerald told him the list of available ranks. I'm too lazy to list them XD)

Akando thought for a moment, thinking how it might be a joke, but he lifted his head. "I'll defend the clan with my life. I'll be a stray tracker."

"Alright, fine by me." Emerald nodded her head, "Welcome to the Scratch Sisters." She said with a calm smile on her face. She looked back down into the water and at the moon's reflection again, moving her tail across the wood like before. She watched with focused eyes as the moon's eerie white reflection danced through the calm dark water.

(they're in the alleyway )
Akando unkowingly copied her, watching the water ripple the moon's glowing surface. He loved the water; it was so beautiful, and unrestrained. It needn't prove anything to anybody. It was in serenity when it wanted and angry rage when it decided. The keeper the life, but also at times, the taker away.
"Its beautiful, the water," Akando murmured, more to himself than his companion.

Emerald nodded, barely paying attention though. She then turned her head toward the main alley again. "Alright, let's get going. I don't like leaving my gang by themselves for too long. She hoisted herself up, and started walking forward, not hiding her limp anymore now that she had no need to. She started walking toward her alley, expecting Akando to follow her.
