Cub listened quietly, trusting Dancing Otter to tell him the truth. He knew he needed to know why things happened so he could improve, and the fact that Otter was as confused by the buck's actions as Cub himself, was actually something of a relief. The youth had assumed that he had missed some big obvious sign that things were turning bad during the hunt.
He was pulled from his thoughts by the tightening of Otter's arms. Tilting his head as the older brave leaned down he looked worriedly at the guy's dark hair. "Hey... are you ok?" He murmured softly before Dancing Otter's strangled words widened amber gaze, a hand lifting to lightly touch the brave's forearm where it crossed Cub's chest. "I did... I’m here aren't I?" He tried again, suddenly worried that he had upset Otter somehow.
He felt the muscles in Dancing Otter's arms and chest tense, shaking slightly before the brave relaxed again. Truly worried now the youth gently gripped Otter's arms where they crossed over his chest. Head tipped to the side as he tried to see the other's expression, though Otter's silky black hair was in the way.
The soft apology eased his fears and he smiled softly, fingers brushing against Otter's arm where they rested, seeking to reassure the other that what ever he was sorry for, was already forgiven. Letting himself settle against Otter as the older male relaxed he was content to stay where he was. Though Dancing Otter's continued hiding in his hair made him sure that something had upset the guy. Lifting a hand he tried to smooth the mass of ebony hair from Otter's face, but there was just so much of it... "Hey... you ok?" He murmured softly, voice concerned.

Dancing Otter lifted his head slightly to meet the boy's eyes and the concern there overwhelmed him. "Yes.." He smiled softly, blinking away the moisture in his eyes. "I'm just... so glad you're ok... you..." He lowered his head to the boy's shoulder again, laughing softly at himself for getting so emotional about it. "You've been the best friend I've had in a long time... If anything happened to you, I don't think-" he pressed a gentle kiss against the boys neck, "I could-" another kiss followed, then another that lingered longer, "forgive myself." He finally breathed against his skin, before pressing more kisses against his neck, working his way upward.
Otter's every move at this point was pure and unadulterated feeling, the same thing that got him in so much trouble in the village - acting before thinking, was also the same thing that earned him the whispered reputation as one of the tribes best lovers. He acted through instinct, his kisses, his caresses, the way he whispered softly against a persons ear - they were all done without any thought other then to share his feelings. That was what he was doing now as he kissed his way u the side of the boys throat, scraping his teeth softly against his earlobe as he pulled him more intimately close, into his lap instead of just against his chest.
Otter's hands pressed more firmly against Cub, one sliding up his chest, over his neck to lightly take his chin and lift his head slightly for better access to his throat and the other hand wandered lazily across the front of his chest and stomach, stroking the delicate exposed skin, careful of the wounded areas. "I'm so glad you're alright Cub..." he said breathily against the boys throat.

Fighting Cub smiled warmly as the other finally lifted his head, grateful to see the familiar smile in place. He hated the thought that he might have upset Otter somehow, or made the guy angry at him. Lifting his other hand he tried to smooth the dark hair from his friend's face, fingers threading through the thick mass, spilling more of it around them rather than doing any good in pinning it back.
Releasing the handfuls of black silk he studied Otter as the guy once more warmed his shoulder, the now messy black hair tickling where it fell over his bare chest. He had to smile softly at his friend's words, reaching up again to brush Otter's hair to one side, managing this time to tame it partially. "You are my friend too.." He murmured softly, amber eyes trying to catch Otter's expression even as the guy hid against his neck. A goal that was impossible and was suddenly seemed unimportant as the first kiss pressed warm and soft against his skin. He liked the feeling of safety that being in Dancing Otter's arms gave him. The older brave was so strong and an amazing hunter, Cub knew nothing could hurt them with Otter there. he had forgiven the guy for tossing him from a cliff that first day when he had agreed to train the young Cub in the ways of a Kawani hunter.
Those strong arms felt good, and the silken tickle of Otter's unruly hair reminded him of the furs they slept in each night. Letting his eyes close he obediently tilted his head to the side as the soft warm touches climbed his neck. He felt like he wanted to purr at the pleasant sensation it gave him, soft breath ghosting over his skin, warming it. It was like being wrapped in the fur bedding, only it was Otter.. His warmth and strength making the youth feel secure and relaxed.
The light graze on his ear made him giggle softly, squirming as he was shifted onto the brave's lap until he found a comfortable spot in which to settle once more. They often sat close like this when Otter was showing him something, or describing an intricate idea or skill when tracking, drawing in the dirt as he spoke. So Cub wasn't surprised by the move, settling easily as he always did.
The first hand received a soft giggle, the wandering touch slightly ticklish, though it was nothing compared to the second, as the youth's stomach was rather sensitive. Lifting his hands he caught Otter's forearm though didn’t try and stop him, merely held on lightly as he squirmed, soft bubbling giggles slipping free as his youthful muscles twitched under the teasing touch. "Ahh... hay.. hee.. that tickles Otter..." He giggles softly under his breath, eyes closed as he squirmed again.

A soft chuckle escaped Dancing Otter's throat as the youth in his lap squirmed and giggled and for a moment he let his hand rest against his stomach, pressing down a bit more firmly against the lean abs so as not to tickle. He then turned his attention back to the boy's neck, letting his eyelids fall nearly shut as he continued to kiss that wonderfully graceful neck. As he drifted more and more into the world of feelings, sensation and the warmth of a companion he thought less and less about his actions.
He bit down softly on the sensitive place where neck met shoulder as he began to move the hand on his stomach again, with a firmer caress this time - across abs, sliding downward along his hipbone, across the top of his pants and then back upward. He continued this as he lowered his other hand to caress his side, and continued to press his mouth against his neck,shoulders and jawline. As his need to be closer became more heated he put his hands firmly on Cubs hips and shifted him in his la so that he was sideways and he could better access the front of him.
Otter's lips danced across the flesh of his neck, then he moved downward to kiss and n** at his collarbones, one and now on his back to support him and the other hand still caressing his stomach and continuing to slide downwards until his fingertips slid just under the waistband of the pants he wore.

Fighting Cub calmed again as the hand behaved itself, skin still tingling from the ticklish motions of moments ago. Fingers played over Dancing Otter's forearm, almost unconsciously returning the nice warm touches the older brave was giving him. It felt good, warm and soft, making his body feel heavy and languid, just like when you were waking up slowly but were still partly asleep. It was a contented floating sensation that very much pleased the youth as warmth curled over his skin from Otter's skilled hands.
Tilting his head as his companion played with his neck, he let out a soft giggling purr that lifted into a surprised squeak at the end when Otter bit him. "Hey...." He giggled, peeking at Otter's dark head with a grin. Yet the resumed touch at his belly distracted him, it was no longer tickling and he only shifted slightly. A soft happy murmur sighing from his lips. He liked this play. He knew they couldn't mess about as normal, since he was still hurt and he really didn't want to bleed all over Otter's bedding again. This seemed like a fun alternative.
Suddenly he found himself spun round, letting out another little squeak of surprise for the second time. Leaning into Dancing Otter's chest as he was settled again, one hand lifting to press against it for security as he peered up at the guy, smiling playfully. "Hey Otter?" He questioned happily before he giggled again, the wandering hand on his stomach finding a new ticklish spot. Squirming he pressed both hands to Otter's chest, giggling softly at the warm brush of the guy's lips that left his skin tingling pleasantly.

"Hmm?" Otter responded with a slight smile. The happy sound of Cub's voice and the occasional small noise he'd make were all reading as permission to Otter's pleasure-fogged mind. His hand moved further into Cub's pants and began to suck softly on the side of his neck, shifting to move over him.
Meanwhile, Atalanta had alighted curiously on the ground, smelling an interesting smell much like the blood from the animals the two-legger, Dancing Otter cooked, but this was decidedly different. It smelled a lot more interesting. After a few moments of prancing around the teepee and getting no response she poked her head in to find Dancing Otter leaning over another one of his human near-mates. She'd seen this enough and snorted, rolling her eyes.

".. you're tickling me..." He purred, squirming with a soft giggle as the warm, strangely exciting touches continued. He made a soft noise at the sudden new sensation on his neck that sent tingles through his body, making him giggle and squirm once more, soft laughter slipping free as he found himself on his back once more. He really wanted to know what this game was!
The tent opening twitched, drawing Fighting Cub's attention though it took a few seconds before he realised what it was that had caused it. Suddenly squealing with excitement he scampered out from under Dancing Otter and dashed towards the soquili. Though he caught himself and slithered to a halt, wincing as his wounds reminded him they still had to heal. Standing in front of the soquili mare, at a respectful distant, he smiled bright, looking over his shoulder. "Hey Otter! Otter!" He called in excitement, fairly bouncing from foot to foot as he turned back to the mare, amazement shining in his amber eyes.
"You're so pretty...... " He whispered, suddenly shy and awe struck as he gazed at the mare. He had seen the soquili that other villagers owned, but only ever from a distance and his own family had none of the wonderful creatures themselves.

Dancing Otter was surprised when he suddenly found himself groping at thin air... and it took him a few moments before he came back to himself enough to flush properly as he realized what he'd been about to do. He swallowed and looked up at Fighting Cub, and then was surprised to see Atalanta's massive head poking through into the teepee. He got up quickly, as surprised as Cub had been because she'd never taken this sort of opportunity before. "It's Atalanta..." He says, sounding surprised, "She's the foal of one of my Brother's Soquili. She's been hanging around here occasionally for the last few months."
Atalanta meanwhile knew when she was being admired and tried to raise her head a little higher but found the teepee too constricting and stepped back to move outside.
"You want to see something really impressive?" Otter said, walking up next to Cub and putting a hand on his back "Go on out there..." He nodded toward the teepee exit, and then kept his hand on Cub's back for support. He lifted the tent flap to let them both out, and gestured toward Atalanta.
Atalanta, who had been waiting for them, posed then as though it had been worked out in advance. She fanning her wings out and rearing up on her back legs flapping a few times before settling back down and approaching them with her neck stretched out hoping for a petting or treats.

Fighting Cub was practically dancing from foot to foot as he gazed at the soquili. Glancing back as Otter approached he beamed brightly. "She is gorgeous!" He turned back to the soquili, giggling when she tried to lift her head and caught herself instead on the low rim of the teepee.
His face fell as the mare withdrew, but the smile returned at Dancing Otter's words. "Can I?" Shy all of a sudden he stepped closer to Otter before creeping forward and peeking out the tent. He squeaked as the mare's huge wings unfolded, the movements of them sending a strong blast of air directly at the humans. Lifting a hand to push his blond hair from his face he gasped in amazement and a little bit of safe fear. Safe, as he knew Otter was with him and this mare was a friend of the older brave's.
Staying close when the mare approached, he carefully stretched a hand out, palm up, letting her examine it if she desired before carefully touching her neck. She was so warm! Stepping forwards he gently pressed his other hand to her shoulder, amazed at the feel of silken hair and the muscled body underneath. ".. Atalanta..." He breathed softly, clearly in awe of the soquili.

Atalanta nuzzled her head into Fighting Cubs hands, then moved forward toward him, sniffing at the bandaging. There, there was that interesting smell! She nudged at his chest, then leaned out to press her tongue against the bandages. She blinked in surprise when suddenly he was no longer there and looked up to find him in Dancing Otter's protective embrace. She tilted her head curiously at him and then flexed her wings slightly, moving forward again and toward the bandaged wounds Snuffling at them.
"No!" Dancing Otter said firmly, stepping back and moving Fighting Cub behind him. He held his hand out to her, palm flat out in a 'halt' motion. He had intercepted as soon as he saw her tongue flick out to lick up a bit of blood. That wasn't normal - a soquili with a craving for human blood, and considering the way her mother looked, how she had just been found. For the first time since seeing her at his teepee after a visit to his brother's, he was cautious of her. When she stopped and looked at him curiously instead of continuing to come toward him his muscles untensed slightly. "Fighting Cub, will you get me one of the apples from inside, dip half of it in the honey-pot and bring it to me."

He cooed happily as the soquili leaned into his touch, thrilled to be able to pet her. The tickle of breath on his bare chest, around the bandages, made him giggle, shifting from one foot to the other. Though he certainly didn't see any danger in her curiosity. he guessed she was just checking him as since he was a stranger in her territory.
He squeaked as he was suddenly enfolded in familiar warm muscled arms. Looking up at Dancing Otter, amber gaze puzzled, he bit his lip. Had he dome something wrong again? Why couldn't he meet just one large creature that wasn't out to hurt him?
He almost tripped as he was moved behind the retreating Otter, hands scrabbling to grip onto the edge of the brave's covering to avoid falling. Looking up at the question he frowned but nodded. Releasing Otter he moved inside, trotting to the basket of apples, selecting one swiftly and dunking it in the honey jar that was kept to one side. With honey coating his fingers he jogged to the flap of the teepee and ducked out, moving up neck to Otter, apple lifted in offering. "Here...." He glanced at the harmless looking mare, puzzled.

Throwing the apple up in a casual arc he didn't wait to watch as she lept up to get it as he pulled Cub gently inside the tent and sat him down. He tisked softly as he looked at the wound and started unwrapping the bandages. "I want you to stay away from her until you're healed up. I don't think that it's quite safe... she was licking your blood Cub. I don't think she means any harm, because she wasn't aggressive, but lets not take chances, alright?" He reached out and put a hand on his face... which made him recall what he'd done earlier - to Cub!
His face reddened and he moved his hand away, concentrating solely on rewrapping the wound. He couldn't bring himself to look back up and face eye to eye contact.

Fighting Cub watched the apple go soaring, letting Otter pull him back into the teepee without argument. Folding his legs in front of him he stuck a honey-covered finger into his mouth, sucking the sweet sticky fluid from it as his teacher saw to his wound. He nodded softly to Dancing Otter's suggestions, he trusted the older brave's opinion more than his own, seeing as how he always seemed to attract trouble.. apparently now without even leaving the teepee!
The youth leaned absently into the brief touch, amber eyes lifting as Otter's mood suddenly changed. Puzzled he moved onto his next finger as he watched the brave. Plucking his now-clean finger from his mouth he leaned forwards, raising onto his knees as he draped his arms loosely round Dancing Otter's neck, staring at the guy from inched away as with the youth kneeling and Otter sitting, they were about the same height. Brows drawn together in puzzlement Cub tilted his head, pressing his forehead against his companions. It was what his mother always did to him when he wasn't feeling well, and Otter looked flushed.... "You ok?" He asked softly.

To say that he was startled by Cub's actions would be an understatement, for a moment he thought perhaps that Cub had understood before and was attempting to return the affections in a similar manner. He had to admit however that there was not a day that went by that the young brave didn't give him a friendly hug. Taking a deep breath he looked up and into those amber eyes that he had grown to know so well.
"Fighting Cub, what feelings do you have toward me?"

Those eyes blinked in surprise at the question. Leaning back, though leaving his arms draped easily around Dancing Otter, the youth tilted his head. "Feelings?" He replied, studying the older youth's dark eyes intently. "Of course. We are friends aren't we?" He smiled happily.
He wasn't the permanently cheerful type, but these weeks with Dancing Otter out in the forest, learning to hunt and track and cook.... they had been a dream to the young brave. It was hard not to be cheerful when he was with the man. Apart from the guy's enthusiasm for life which was completely infectious, he simply loved to be at Otter's side. Nothing was ever dull or boring when they were together. And Otter always took the time to explain anything that the youth didn’t understand. Well.. apart from his weird jokes of course..
Opening his eyes he studied the other, a flash of worry sliding though his amber gaze suddenly. "You want me to leave?"
