Wiping the Clock

"if..if you hate me so much why did you call me your dog...why did you save me from the street?" garnar whimpers tears of pain show in his wet brown eyes. "no matter what clopin I'll always think of you as my master/king"

The gypsy king refused to listen anymore. "I saved you because I thought you would end up turning into a well-trained dog. All that has brought me is pain and misery. And I am no longer your king. Now get out of my sight!" Clopin shouted, as he finally threw the rope. The noose landed around the golden dog's neck, and Clopin yanked on it, making it just a little bit tighter, but not enough to kill the dog.
"LEAVE."
(OOC: I know, but it isn't really the main focus of this thread.)

(aww ok well time for garnar to scadaddle and go all suicidal since he lives for clopin)
"you wouldn't care if I died would..?" garnar cries out as the rope is pull sightly "if fact I be you would enjoy it" he states starting to move away from clopin turning in the directions of the outlanders "oh god...your not acting like my king...the king i once knew who loved his dog...what has this war done to you?" Garnar whimpers stopping a few feet away and pulling on the rope around his neck.

Copper relaxed a bit when the golden dog was sent away. He had noticed it following them through the camp and recognized him as as the first hero he'd fought against in the ambush that had gone south several weeks ago. He seemed to be a bit of a loose cannon and on top of that, the most likely to recognize him. However he was slightly glad for the distraction the dog had brought....For a few moments he'd been able to forget his nervousness. Now it came rushing back and he fought to keep his hands from trembling.

please let them understand.....don't let them kill me. I don't wanna break my promise.

Garnar looks back up from pulling on the rope with a paw to look at Copper studying him for a moment "you..you smell familiar do i know you from somewhere?" he asks the dog turned man unaware he was speaking to the dog who took his own ear off and scarred him. "he smells familiar to me" he says looking back at Clopin.

Clopin walked up to Garnar, with his hands on his hips. "You must leave, now." Clopin growled. He was sick and tired of arguing with the dog, and he wanted him gone. The gypsy king scowled as he dropped the noose, leaving it wrapped around Garnar's neck.
"I don't care if he smells familiar to you or whatnot. This is a meeting solely for the generals of this encampment, and you, dog, aren't one of them." Clopin said, recalling how Angel had asked the same thing before. They would find out sooner or later.
(OOC: Garnar really needs to leave. The meeting was only meant for the generals, and I don't want Clopin sitting around for 5 pages, arguing with a dog.)

"where do i go?" Garnar said backing away from Clopin and down the rock face behind him stumbling sightly since he was not looking where he stepped. "back to the tent? it's just not your's you know it's aladdins to" he says pain fills his eyes

"I understand it's Aladdin's. But it is no longer your tent!" Clopin shouted. Oh, how he wanted to kick the mongrel in the side!
The gypsy king was more annoyed with the dog's whining than anything else. He had a prisoner to take care of, and the dog was most definitely not helping. He looked back to Copper, before turning back to Garnar.
"Get out of my sight."

"But Clopin...Please forgive me...please?" Garnar begs taking a step hesitantly to-wards his king before pausing in step and turning back and moving swiftly down the rocks and away from clopin to-wards to entrench to camp.

Shang was the first to hear the gypsy's cry. He winced. He had been going over papers in his tent, eating and planning battle strategies. Tiana had brought his food to him and he had thanked her, something he rarely did when it came to the cook. But she was a good warrior which was helpful to him. He was surprised he heard the gypsy's call. Clopin had returned from Notre Dame then?

Rising from his seat placing his bowl down, he brushed himself free of the prideland dirt and walked outside of the tent. Eyes narrowed, he looked up angrily at the gypsy king. He had spotted the newcomer almost immediately. Who did Clopin bring back? It was not the girl, not the person he set to spy upon but a new person. Shang sneered as he climbed priderock, pointing an accusing finger at Clopin.

"I am pleased you return safely," he said sternly, "But you disobeyed my orders. I told you to merely observe not to bring back a hostage!"

Copper quickly held up his hands, "He didn't take me....I stole away on the train. He found me and was PLANNING to kill me...but I have information that could be of use to you toward the Human Villains."

He lowered his gaze to floor....steeling himself. He felt like he was standing on the edge of a cliff about to leap off. For half a moment he hesitated. It would be so easy to follow Shan Yu's plan. To PRETEND to be good and to go back to Notre Dame after the mission was over and-- Then Megs face flashed before him. He HAD to free her. He HAD to erase that sadness from her eyes. More then anything else he wanted to see her smile. A REAL smile that would light up her eyes.

Looking back up he met Shang's gaze evenly. "My name is Copper. I was Shan Yu's 2nd in command.....and I want to join you as a hero."

His sword was on his belt. As soon as he heard the words 'Shan-Yu's Second in Command' the sword flew from his belt with pristine accuracy and in a matter of seconds was pointed at Copper's throat. His eyes blazed with anger and fury, a frown curled on his lips.

"Nice try," he growled, "But if you were Shan-Yu's second in command there is no way you are stepping another foot closer unless I take the breath from you." Holding the sword tightly, his voice was directed at Clopin. "How could you bring him here? Do you know who Shan-Yu is? What he did to my father? What he almost did to me and Mulan?! And then you bring this-this-creature here?" Shang was furious. He hadn't even heard that the man wanted to help. All he heard was Shan-Yu and he snapped.

Copper's eyes widened and he dropped to his knees, holding out his hands to show that he was unarmed. He threw a quick glance at Clopin.....He hoped the gypsy would keep his word and keep from being killed right away. "I WAS his 2nd in command. I have left him and the villains....I know things....like their numbers....their plans.... I can HELP you!"

Cash chuckled lightly, though was unable to continue and say anything else due to some... distractions. Cash didn't look angry, though he didn't look quite pleased. Seemed, 'Tramp' was the one to interrupt. The named was grabbed from Lady talking, the grey mutt hadn't ever bothered to give him a name himself. Maw wrinkled slightly, before straightening out, pink scars quite visible from his time in the out lands.

Hound had stepped up to Lady's side, sitting almost behind so he could sit over her. Acting something like a shield perhaps? Despite his firm stance, it was purely instinctive. If Lady should get harmed emotionally, where would Cash be? The one strong thing here keeping him stable with her enchanting smile and charming personality, he couldn't let that be harmed.

Tramp nodded in quick acknowledgement to Cash, before his attention refocused on his former mate. She....she was all right. Oh thank goodness.

"I'm just...." he started, taking in and appreciating her presence. Since they....split....he'd seen less and less of her....and oh, how that tugged at his heart!

"....I'm just glad, you know? To see you're back safe and sound." He wondered, for a moment, if he should add how worried he'd been for her...but a flitting glance at Cash told the mutt he'd better leave that part out.

At least, for the time being.

Lady nodded appreciatively. Having Cash behind her made her feel somewhat safe, as if he was there to snatch any thoughts Tramp may have of pushing their failed relationship on her.

"Oh...oh well, it was nothing much. A quick trip is all." she studded "Cash preformed beautifully as my fireman, and Angel and her team got in and out without so much as a hiccup!" She left out the derailment, the hours in the dark, and the fear she had of being caught.

"Right now we where waiting upon news of the stowaway that hopped our train on the way back, Clopin took him away for interrogation."

It was the most she had spoken to him since the split. It felt good to show that there where no hard feelings. Her heart was still beating relatively fast. She was worried that he had overheard her inviting Cash back to her tent. While it was of course with good intents...he could easily mistake it for...
