" Thank you." Aquile called out as the kitsune left them.
" I got dibs on the rabbit!" Tidus called excitedly once he realised what had just been delivered.
" No fair!" Luigi complained. " Mum, let go."
Sarabi completely ignored her son's attempts to get at the much larger piece of meat and kept her paw on his tail. She only lifted it once both Tidus and Aquile had claimed the rabbit and the bird respectively, leaving the smaller rabbit for the smaller child.
" Aw." the small cub pouted.
" Don't complain. You got a good sized meal for you. But if you want, and you're still hungry, you can have some more meat when it's time for the adults to eat. The same goes to you two." the older jaguar said, turning towards the two older white cubs who had already started eating.
Aquile nodded at her aunt's words, which was more than could be said for her brother. He was too busy making short work of his rabbit to respond. Sarabi left them to their meals before watching for her family's return.
Feeling the sensation of fur rubbing against him, Sarba looked around and noticed the retreating form of the blue kitsune he had seen earlier that morning. He also noticed the smaller prey items lying on his back. Figuring that the older animal had been alerting him to something, he turned his head to the other side where he found the small pile of food.
" Looks like we just had a food delivery." He announced, easily stopping all other conversation.
" What'd we get?" Krieg asked excitedly.
" It looks like a couple of rabbits, a bird and a mouse. I think they're for the little ones."
" No candy?" Monty asked his ever present puppy-dog look appearing on his face.
Seth heaved a sigh. " Monty. You can't eat candy for breakfast. You know that. Here." He then went up to the small pile and picked out the bird for his cousin. Placing it in front of the labrador mix pup, he nudged it closer with his nose. " Eat this. If you're good, we can maybe get some candy later."
" Yay!"
Before anyone could stop him, Montague Haythen was sticking his nose right into the bird's chest. It was a little off putting, sure, but at least it was keeping him occupied for a time. Sarba and Jaymie took that opportunity to distribute the rest of the pile to their younger siblings. Zelda eagerly attacked the rabbit that she had been given with Aztec doing similar to his own rabbit. Tammy, on the other hand, nibbled on the mouse, not sure about the taste.
" Thank you, Tasuki." Bria smiled at the kitsune. " The red dragon, Uphere, came by earlier saying that meals should be ready soon. But still, thank you for bringing something for my daughter." She then turned her attention to said daughter, who was attempting to walk towards the nearest tree on her hind legs. " Theluji. You're breakfast is here. Come thank Mr Tasuki."
Dropping to her four paws, Theluji turned to face her mother. It was then that she noticed Taskui and at the sight of her many-tailed friend, she rushed over to his side and stood on her hind paws to reach at his head.
" Hello Mr Tasuki. Thank you for the food." She said happily, trying to place a gentle paw in welcome on his face whilst also trying to keep her balance. She had been trying to practice her walking with her mother that morning, but couldn't quite get her legs to move once she was on two feet. " Are you feeling better now? Mummy said that you needed some time alone."
" O-o-ogay. I... I do dat." Jace snuffled, trying to puff out his chest and put on a brave face. Then his stomach rumbled and he remembered that he had been hungry before getting distracted by the construction site and then his aunts.
For some reason, that made Anjou laugh. " Go on, Jace. You can eat."
Jace looked up at the black and white wolf-dog before looking back down at the bird by Krystal's paw.
Uphere chuckled at the reason behind Krystal's morph. But he saddened as he remembered why he and his family had gotten their wolf morphs.
" I admit, I'm not sure of the reasons for Uncle Kaygis's morphs myself. But my wolf form, and those belonging to my brother and sisters, was in memory of our little brother." He admitted before shaking his head slightly and giving Hunter a small smile. " But let's get this food to your family."
He then grabbed one of the stag's front legs and waited for Hunter to start moving again, ready to move backwards whenever his companion was.
