" It's no trouble at all." Lynk smiled back, hoping the smile could be heard within his words.
Kilier, however, was thinking over what Gemma had just told them. If Omega was a cyborg and he was often pushing himself to his limits, wouldn't he have something that told him, within his systems, what was happening with his body? After a few minutes of thinking it through, she voiced her thoughts.
To say that Kaygis found it a little weird that an alpha was letting him direct a hunt was an understatement. But he had been with Bane for a little while now and had learnt that the vampire was more of a relaxed leader than first appeared. So he was forced to accept it. He just hoped that the pack's omega didn't feel uncomfortable about his intrusion into his hunting plans.
" Let me give this sheep to my wife and children and I will join you with the dragons." He said. " Please send my apologies to your omega if I have intruded on any plans he had made."
After waiting for Bane's response, Kaygis gathered his prey and made his way out of the pen. He quickly spotted Ebony by the dead campfire with their slightly older children, grooming them both to make sure that they were okay. Beside them were Lakshmi, Astro and Kokoda who were also getting groomed (much to Kokoda's distaste). Looks like he wasn't going to be enjoying mutton this morning. Even so, he made his way over to the two families.
" Good morning, everyone. I've caught a sheep for your breakfast." He called after placing the food in front of them, quickly thinking up a bowl of bamboo for Kokoda as he did so.
" Good Morning, Kaygis." the tigress returned. " Are Astro and I welcome to join you for breakfast?"
" Of course you're welcome to join. But I'm going back to the pen to help Bane and the others hunt for everyone, so I won't be eating with you."
" Can you at least tell me why you aged the children?" Ebony asked, looking up at her husband with a tilt to her head.
" I'll explain that after breakfast in a meeting with the other Rebels. It doesn't just concern our family." her love replied, his gaze softening as he spoke.
" Alright. God jakt."
" Og lykkelig å spise."
Ebony smiled as she watched her husband make his way over to the dragons now by the pen. Kaygis' Norwegian was getting better. Unfortunately, Lakshmi was having a little trouble trying to figure out what was said. So she explained the exchange over mutton.
Upon reaching the dragons, Kaygis couldn't help but smile at Uphere's return to the outside world.
" Welcome back to the outside world, Uphere." he called as a way of greeting. " I bet you are hungry."
Uphere nodded as he and his siblings turned their attention to the black jaguar. " I am a bit. Iora, Demanicus and I were just discussing hunting."
" Funny that, I was just coming to see if you three wanted to join the vampires and myself in a hunting party."
" Can we?" Iora asked, somehow finding herself excited to be hunting with vampires. She had always been a bit curious about their hunting tactics but no one would let her near a hunting vampire coven.
" As long as you don't mind that the vampires can get a little excited during the hunt."
The dragons looked to each other for a few seconds, silently weighing the odds of success in their minds. It wasn't long before the three of them all nodded to each other before turning back to the older male.
" We're in." They said in unison.
" Awesome. Let's go. We've got some things to discuss with the others."
The dragons happily followed Kaygis over to where the vampires were waiting with Phoenix and Tsume.
" Good morning, all. Hope you don't mind us joining in on the hunt. What's everyone planning to take down?" Kaygis asked once they had reached them.
" Nightshade." Anjou whispered, testing out the nickname.
His mind was instantly bombarded with thoughts on the new nickname as well as the one his brother calls him. Nightshade was a much better name in his opinion. And was it because of the colour of his eyes? He never realised the odd purple colour could bring forth such a cool sounding nickname. It honestly made him smile. The only thing he didn't realise was exactly how close Taka and the Forza brothers were to their little group... within hearing range, in Sarba's case.
Sarba's ear twitched, having heard the nicknames he, Kaine and Taka had been given thanks to his heightened hearing. Taka and Kaine, however, didn't seem to have noticed. So he figured it was up to him to correct the grey wolfdog.
" Actually, if you're going to give me a nickname, I would prefer it to be Ghost. Whitey is my little brother, Aztec. He's the white lion cub that's bounding around here somewhere." He said, taking a step closer to the group and noticing how Anjou was snapped from his thoughts to look up at him. " My actual name is Sarba. The lion beside me is my brother Kaine and the jaguar is Taka, though I think some of you already know him."
