Ice Age Moments💕

Tyto meet Raylan(request)

Request from TCLegend. Tyto is Shira's father and my oc. Diego's dad (I realize I never gave him a name yet in the last one I did) is Raylan which means wise and Tackle and Amaya are my ocs

"You think your dad will let my parents stay in the pack?" Diego asked Shira concerned as she looked behind her. The old saber Raylan was walking behind them with Tackle asking him questions about him. His grandfather chuckled at the cub, amused by his spunky energy. The striped saber looked back at her mate worriedly "I don't know" she told him unsure as both of them looked ahead to see they arrived at their destination.

After finding Raylan, and Amaya, Diego's parents, Diego wanted to help them find a new den. The one they had was way to close to some geysers and it was unstable. He lost them once. He didn't want to lose them again. That's when Shira suggested to let them stay with her old pack. While Sora, Shira's brother, was the pack leader, their main worry was Tyto. He was wary of new faces and took time to warm up to strangers. Especially of his own kind.

Currently, Amaya was staying with the Herd to recover from a burnt paw back at the geysers. Hopefully, if Tyto agreed, she can stay with the pack too.

"Alright. Tackle. You and your grandfather stay. Me and your mom are gonna go find Sora and Tyto ok. Keep an eye on the old guy" Diego instructed to his cub. Tackle had a good relationship with Tyto so hopefully, incase they run into eachother, Tackle can convince him to let Raylan stay. "Sure dad" the cub said confident. "We'll be back ok" Shira told the cub before both cats went out looking for the pack leader.

Meanwhile....

Tyto was just taking walking by when he noticed something small walking by. "Hm?" He spotted Tackle walking by, stalking a butterfly in the grass. The cub crept closer and pounced on it before the small insect can fly away.

The cub had his paws together and he opened them, letting the butterfly go. "Bye little butterfly" Tackle said as Tyto chuckled at his grandson. His hunting skills were improving a lot. 'If he could catch a small butterfly with one pounce, he can certainly catch a much larger prey like his mother when he gets bigger' He thought in his head proudly.

"An excellent pounce my boy"

Raylan suddenly appeared, approaching his cub. Tyto's smile fell when he saw this saber that he didn't recognize from the pack. And what concerns him was this stranger was approaching his grandson. Tyto started crouching down, and slowly stalked in the grass as he glared at this trespasser.

But not before Raylan caught a glimpse of the grass rustling. He frowned, sensing they weren't alone. He sniffed the air and caught scent of a saber he didn't recognize. "Tackle. Stay close me" he instructed the cub serious as his grandson looked at his direction. "We are not alone" he said, staring at the grass as his muscles twitched in anticipation. Tackle sniffed the scent and his eyes widen when he recongized it.

"Wait a minute!"

"ROAR!"

Just as Tackle tried to stop Raylan, Tyto came lunging out of the grass with a roar. The brown saber jumped back as the striped one got between them, blocking Tackle. He thought Raylan wanted to hurt his grandson.

Raylan snarled at him back as Tyto growled. "Stay away from him" he warned the brown cat, his shoulders hunched and preparing to pounce. "Wait Tyto!" Tackle called out desperately but Tyto lunged straight at Raylan who grabbed him and the two rolled down hill. "Oh no" Tackle said worriedly as he took off to find his parents.

Back to the elders, Raylan pushed Tyto off of him and the two started circling eachother. "Who are you? What were you planning to do with the cub?" Tyto asked him serious, baring his teeth. Raylan eyed his movements to readied himself for a fight. "I was thinking the same thing" he told him, thinking Tyto meant to harm Tackle as they continued circling, glaring and growling at eachother.

Back to Diego and Shira, the two split up to search for Sora and Tyto and had met up with eachother. "So I found my brother and he says it's ok to have Raylan and Amaya in the pack. But I couldn't find my dad" Shira explained concerned. Diego looked down disappointed to hear that. "Yeah I didn't have an luck finding him either" he said.

But then Shira's eyes widen when a thought came to her. "Wait. Sora did say that Tyto went walking. If he spots Raylan with Tackle and thinks your dad is a trespasser trying to hurt him..." she said and the two looked at eachother wide eye. "Oh no" Diego said worriedly, realizing that leaving his dad alone with his son was not the best option. Especially when both grandfathers were close to Tackle.

"DAD! MOM!"

Tackle's voice called out loudly as the parents turned their heads and saw the cub racing towards them with alarm in his face. "Tyto found Raylan and now they're fighting eachother! Hurry we got to stop them!" He explained to them urgently. "Dad!" Both Diego and Shira said alarmed as they followed after their cub to stop the two cats.

"Roar!"

Back to the elder sabers, Tyto made the first move, lunging at Raylan. But the brown saber grabbed his opponent and threw him over. The striped saber was back on his feet just to have the other cat tackle him. But he swatted his paws with his claws out, pushing Raylan down and tried to bite down on his shoulder. But Raylan grabbed Tyto by his scruff and pulled him down to the ground and got swatted in the face by him, forcing him to step back.

Meanwhile, Tackle manage to bring his parents to where he saw them fighting and they spotted them. "There there! There they are!" Tackle yelled, pointing at the two elders have a cat fight. "Dad! What are you doing?!" Diego called out to his father. "Dad no! Don't hurt him!" Shira yelled out but their dads were too focus on eachother that they couldn't hear. Both cats were experienced fighters and from the looks of it, they seemed equally matched.

The two actually seemed to stop fighting, starting to wear out and they both stopped and stood their, trying to catch their breaths. Seeing their chance, Diego, Tackle and Shira ran over there incase they tried to fight again.

"Dad! You ok?" Diego asked his father worriedly. "Dad what were you thinking?" Shira asked Tyto angrily but worried.

"Dad?!"

Tyto and Raylan said surprised and looked at eachother. "You're Diego's father? Heh. I can see the resemblance" Tyto commented, grinning at him.

Raylan grinned back as he sat down. "Same to you. It's been years since I had a good fight like this. You certainly know how to look out for yourself" he complimented him impressed as Tyto lied down.

"The name's Raylan friend" he introduced himself. "Tyto" the striped saber introduced himself, already liking this new face. Diego and Shira looked at their dads confused. One moment they were fighting and suddenly they are chatting.

"This might be my fault. Tyto thought that Raylan was going to hurt me" Tackle explained, his ears low at feeling that he was the cause of this.

"No Tackle. I rushed in without taking a moment to understand the situation. I was the one who started the fight first" Tyto explained, rubbing the cub's head to assure him he wasn't responsible for the fight.

"Still, I had fun. At least it gave me a chance to know you better" Raylan brought up as the two elder sabers smirked at eahcother, already having respect and an interest in eachother.

"What just happened?" Diego asked dumbfounded with Shira and Tackle having the same feeling. "I have no idea" Shira said unsure as Tackle tilted his head confused as the two old sabers got along.
