" No, no. I'm not hurt. A polar bear is made strong... though apparently a zebra is stronger. You boys enjoy your breakfast." Bria reassured the teens before turning her focus on their parents. " Really, it's alright. Hunger gets the best of everyone. Especially growing youngsters. Besides, I've had more than one occasion back at home where I've been knocked down by much ruder people. What happened here was just an accident. And I know that. I also must thank you. that zebra has been giving me trouble. The accident seemed to be the thing it needed to release it. Now, please, enjoy yourselves. I wish to return to my daughter and hopefully get Tasuki to share some of this meat with me."
With that said, Bria picked up the leg that had been giving her grief and returned to her daughter and the blue kitsune.
Theluji, ever the cheerful one, was more than happy to see her back, but she was mindful of the meal that her mother carried as she bounded around. Her own meal long finished, she also seemed extremely vocal.
" Mum, mum. Mr Tasuki was helping me walk on two legs. Look." she called excitedly.
To prove her point, the cub stood on her hind legs and walked around in a circle. Bria lay down the meal before smiling widely at her daughter, pride evident on her face.
" Well done, Panik. You keep practicing and you will go far. But stay within the campsite." She said.
" Yes, mum."
Bria then turned to Tasuki, her smile becoming more gentle. " Tasuki, please have something with me. There is enough here for the both of us."
Jace was stunned for a few seconds, not sure what to do. But he quickly shook his head and chased after Aden and Kurama, letting himself enjoy the game rather than fearing new friends. Anjou watched them as they took off, but he quickly returned his attention to the one he was shielding.
" Ah, you share a name with my uncle. Both my father and my Aunt Kilier, my Uncle's wife, say that he's special. With similar names, I can tell that you're special too." he smiled, lowering his head so that he didn't appear as a threat but so that Link was still out of sight of the meal going on behind him.
