Vidalia doesn't back up, as she's already sitting. She doesn't look at the very mean brothers. And the only thing she says further is Sit down, Marty. Now.
The pair don't advance any further and instead begin to back up slowly, making sure that Lily is behind and between them. They've come to get the child in their charge, and regardless of excuses, would get her out of the area before any violence happens. Maybe after Lily is sure to be safe one of them would come back to ask what happened, but not at the moment.
For the meantime though, their careful eyes will watch each of them as they back away.

And right about this time is when Lily's big brother arrives brandishing a stick. Well, big is probably the wrong word, since he's an 8 year old halfling boy that's about two and a half feet tall. Hence his arriving two posts later than the Wolfen brothers. Guess Lily will have to eat her words about him being a scardey pants!
"Lily!" he calls, before spotting her behind the two Wolfen. And between him and the Wolfen are two Big People and a monster who is on fire!
He eeps, and tries to run past all the other people to get on the safe side of the Wolfen brothers.
"You should go with them, Lily," the Huldra says, offering a foxy grin to the girl. "You'll be safe and I'll be fine."
He's trying to sound as reassuring as he can manage.
Those those perceptive might notice that his voice has that twinge of someone who is in a great deal of pain.
The smashed flower from before dissolves into a wisp of fox fire and dances its way back over to the Huldra before taking up its slow waltz about him with the other three.
"I'll be safe and well, don't fear for me."

Marty's about to say something but then Vidalia speaks up. Marty sits down next to her and stares at his feet. Er...foot and cybernetic thingamajig. He whispers to her. I...d-don 't...are they g-going t-to eat m-me? Marty's fear of werewolves is certainly showing.
Not as long as you don't move toward them. They are protecting her, and now her brother. They are not in a talking mood. That's why I said to shut up. She reaches over and tries to give his hand a reassuring squeeze. And try not to insult the fire-wolf-fox creature. He seems more reasonable than was initially thought.
Pathfinder moves a bit to the side to allow Tito through, and after a quick glance back at the pair of halfling children, pushes himself back up to his two hind legs. He gives a growl in Wolfen to Waterstrider, telling him to keep an eye on the group before bending down to scoop the two children into his arms to carry them back towards the cabins.
The Welfen, Waterstrider, stays for now to watch over the situation, but his body language begins to settle down once the children are away.

Freddy watches the wolf-man and children depart. And it's only when they're quite some distance away that he gives a heavy sigh and hangs his head. "I'm sorry I've caused so much trouble for you all. It wasn't my intention. I... I honestly thought I was helping..."
Well.
He certainly sounds sincere at least.
"I should have just left right away. But I didn't and now everyone is upset."
Everyone.
Well.
Except maybe for the ghosts. They didn't seem to care that much.
"Emperor confound it I'm so useless..."

Marty just holds Vidalia's hand tightly. He's obviously afraid. He tells the wolfen pair, I...w-was just m-making s-sure she was safe... Marty looks down at his feet.
"A strong name for a strong man," Quinn says softly, smiling blissfully at her son, then up at Tobias adoringly as she rocks her newest child, Jamie standing by the door and looking on in wonderment.
Toby bends down to kiss his wife's forehead, then beckons his daughter in so she can greet Hadrian.

You're in the Good League of Good. It's a place for redemption and charity. You fell out of the sky, badly wounded.
Oh yeah, we're real big on redemption. If you want to give up your happy life of slaying knights and eating virgin princessess, this is absolutely the place for you. Toby smirks.

Reinholdt watches Freddy go and Vidalia follow him, before glancing at Jamie. Then glancing around in general as his hand with the gun flops to one side.
"Good. Now... what the hell happened? How'd I get here?"
Jamie shrugs! She has no idea.
And she doesn't say anything more 'cause I'm note sure who, if anyone, remains here in this fragment of time.

Quinn beams happily and turns to kiss Toby's cheek, as Jamie steps forwards with a broad, bright, and wonderous smile, looking down at her baby brother in awe.
"Hey there little feller..."
"I killed those knights in self defense and those princesses had it coming!"
The dragonite querks his eyebrow, or at least where the brow would be, and the corresponding antennae. What a weird thing to say. Healer guy is weird.
The Dragonite takes another look around. He fell out of the sky? That makes sense, but this is different then the places he usually flew over. Fell out of the sky is one thing, but it hardly tells him where he is. And great as he feels, a long distance flight would be a bad idea.*
He gives the place a once over with a discerning Good size lake, probably lots of fish. Soft grass. Human dwellings and judging by how little they seem to know about him, probably little contact with other pokemon. That's both a good and a bad thing. He did want a mate someday. No sea caves, though. No sea. The lake will work, and he can look for a land-cave, or bulid something. Yeah, this could do for now.
"Dragonite," he says to the duo, patting his chest with a claw, "Dragonite?" he waves his arm around at the campsite and lake behind him. *

Reinholdt flinches when the wolf smashes the infirmary door to get outside.
"Bloody hell." He peers out the window and sees the gathering beyond the shadow of the building and close to the entrance. "Nobody ever listens to reasonable advice about leaving before things get ugly and look. Things are ugly. Why I bother to try..." Reinholdt throws his hands up in the air in frustration.
Ignoring Jamie as not very helpful at all right now, he climbs out of bed gingerly and heads out of the Infirmary to go find out just what is going on and who he needs to shoot to get some peace and quiet. It's like everything's... banging drums or something. A pulsating noise of excited people. Giving him a headache.
At least, that was the initial plan. He makes about as far as the doorway when he suddenly starts sizzling all over, the smell of burning meat starting to fill the air. "OW OW OW DEAR ANTERION OW." Reinholdt yelps, flailing and jumping away. The sizzling stops, though a bit of smoke still rises from him.
He peers with narrowed eyes at the taunting portal. Gingerly he reaches one hand out. Slowly. Slowly. Until the sun hits it and it starts sizzling again. He pulls back quickly and shakes his burnt hand before putting it to his mouth and sucking on the fingers.
Of course, there he can finally feel the fangs.
And Reinholdt eyes roll back in his head as he falls to the ground unconscious, having just fainted.
[Campgrounds]
"Certainly sir. Right this way sir." Butler says, going to help Marley up and escort him to the Infirmary post-haste!

Nurse Piper recorporates, examines Reinholdt, and goes to interrupt the Druid family. "Excuse me, but there is a dead body on the floor. I need assistance in moving it to the morgue."
If Reinholdt actually has life signs, then replace "a dead body" with "an unconscious patient" and "moving it to the morgue" with "getting him into a bed."
Despite being undead herself, Nurse Piper does not know anything about undead. A body without life signs is no longer a patient, and needs to be properly disposed of!
Pathfinder gives her a smile, the closest to a grin he can get to without showing his fangs, and chuckles a bit. "I'm almost done building my own place apart from Waterstrider and Renetta's, so maybe we can do something there some time." He offers.
That certainly sounds promising, Reelshka responds, also with a chuckle as she begins walking back towards the campsite, Pathfinder presumably following. I wonder how the others will react when they find out...

Sophie shakes her head a little. It's going to be difficult. If you're asking if you can stay here... well, I guess we have lots of space.

Lucy! "Raaa rara ra ra ra."* he says as he begins walking back to Andy's Cabin.
*No, do go on. You can tell me all about it while we walk back to Andy's to get my translator. I ran out after you in such a hurry because he said you were bleeding...
"That might have been Its fault, it could change the entire Sanitarium to torment those who found it. I don't think I have been hurt... I am actually not sure I can bleed."
Lucy says, smiling embarrassedly. A nurse should really know much more about their own medical state, even if they have only regained their autonomy recently.
"It was nothing much, I was merely joyful at the sight of the inhabitants here. There was a large octopus, perhaps thrity feet long, in the lake, but those around weren't even afraid! It's quite astonishing for me, but I am sure I sound like a naïve girl from the city to you."
"I wanted to have something special for the camp, so I decided to try making fireworks. I thought it would be cheaper to make my own then to buy them."
And doing so would not require leaving the grounds of GLoG. After all, Marley hasn't been comfortable leaving for some time now.
After a few hours Andy will stand up and prepare for the day.
If the deathclaw and the undead nurse reach his room befor that they will stand in front of a closed door. Andy was much to exhausted and felt immediatelly into a deep slumber. They need to wait for him to wake up or they break the door.

Vidalia looks over at Freddy. You're not useless, Freddy. You just chose the wrong organization to "rescue".
She stands up, trying to help Marty up with her. If you'd be willing to accept my help, I know of a few places that might have ghosts for you to feed on. I'm not as evil as Lily would have you believe. she whispers to Marty. Apologize, Marty. For calling him a monster and a liar.
((Sorry for interrupting posting order, but he should apologize first.))
Marty growls. It's true. That thing would have eaten thsat ghost...Then again, best to remain on Vidalia's good side it seems. I...I'm s-sorry....F-Freddy... He looks at the ground.
The shaman doesn't speak for now, instead mulling over the encounter in his mind, trying to detail what happened, when, and by who while taking Lily's story into account. It looked like a misunderstanding, but he couldn't be too sure.
Outside GLoG
Waterstrider watches for a few moments more, his body language calm, but eventually gives a nod when they start apologizing. With that over with, he turns and begins to head back to the Infirmary to curl up with his beloved and sleep.
Clearing
Pathfinder will walk with her when they get to the edge of the forest before getting down low enough to give her one last nip and nuzzle of affection. "I'll see you tomorrow, Reelshka." He promises. "I enjoyed the night."

Reelshka kisses Pathfinder when he's low enough. So did I. See you tomorrow, then. And with that, I imagine they both head to their respective lodgings.
[Sapling Cabin]
The next day, Brinika's plotclone is in the Sapling Cabin, eager to help around and see all the babies.
