As Corrah and Armus entered the camp loudly Kanis shifted and moved to look at them. She looked tired which was able to help her. She was very confused. She looked at them confused and rubbed her eyes, "Am I late waking up?" She asked softly.
The actions seemed too forced. She just looked at them. "Oh is early enough that Armus hasn't even gotten my sister and Rhea?" She asked. She looked down at the ground and then stood slowly, "Shall I help with breakfast then sir?"

Corrah glanced down at Kanis and smiled faintly.
"I apologize for having woken you," he told her calmly. "You are quite early. I suppose we just got a little carried away in our training ... she had yet to learn never to let her guard down, no matter what happens ... it is her greatest fault."
He held up one finger. "Remember that. You will be sparring with her soon - if you can make her let her guard down, you will win the fight no matter what."
He chuckled softly. "And if you want to rub it in that you have won ... take one of her boots. Both if you have the chance. She hates that."
He built up the fire, still grinning to himself. He was every bit sincere in his words - nothing he had said had been a lie, even in the smallest sense.

Kanis nods, "Yes sir...I will keep that in mind...but I will not focus souly on her boots." she said softly.
Looking down she looked towards the water, "Um would I have time to take a bath before break fast or should I wait till this afternoon sir?"
She was glad to have seen the relaxed side of Corrah so often. Though now it would be hard to see him without seeing him smiling and kissing Armus. "Oh and I will be heading back to my cave soon right? I think my leg is strong enough to climb."
She smiled at him. Though she was trying to steal her mind and heart but she needed to get to the water to help calm her mind.

Corrah smiled at Kanis as he continued to build the fire. The fall season was approaching, and the mountain top air was cooler than usual, and with him being as wet as he still was, even he was in the need of a bit of extra warmth.
"There is time, if you wish it," he nodded, "though the water may be quite muddy for the next hour or so ... I leave the choice to you. As to your return to your cave ..."
He glanced up at her. "I will not tell you when to go back. I leave that decision to you. If you wish to go, then go ... but if you do not wish it, I will not make you. You are grown now, and you can make your own decisions. There is little that would attack you now, and I think that you would be in little danger if you chose to make yourself a new home somewhere else. Somewhere bigger, if you desired."

Kanis moved over to Corrah and laughed at herself mentally. How could someone who could not walk with out a limp compete with a flawless physical female. She sat down and shook her head, "I know sir that you like to move your home around the mountain and I have help you back all this time. So it would be best for you if I go back to my cliff home."
She looked up at him and smiled warmly at him, "You did not see my home....it is really big and lots of room...and for training it is just the place. I think two or three people can sleep inside comfortably." She nodded and looked at the fire. "I guess I should wait for things to settle down before washing...or I will be all gritty." She laughed softly. Yes this was how things should be.
"You have trained me well sir...I don't think I would face any danger now..."

For all of Kanis's attempts to act natural, Corrah knew that there was something she was not telling him, something that had put a sudden barrier between them, one that had not been there before.
"Kanis," he murmured, watching her carefully for her reaction, "is there something that you are not telling me?"

Rhea slowly released his arms from Aras and moved to get a rag. It was too early in the morning for the stream water to be warm...so they would have to wash up with a rag and some water. But at least they could warm the water this way.
He really did not want to train with the rest of them right now...he wanted to stay and be warm under the blankets with Aras...She was all that he really cared about any more. And the worry in her face and voice made his heart sink. He walked over to her with thier water flask and a rag and smiled, "Or I can give you a wolf bath?" He licked his lips in offer."
Kanis shook her head. "No sir..." she smiled at him, "I have just never heard you so happy as you sounded when you and Armus came into the camp this morning." She nodded, "It was very good to hear sir." she sat in the slightly chilly morning air and looked at the fire. She could not confess that she had started to feel for her master as more than just a master...that she had even entertained ideas of being held in his arms...and even kissing his beautiful scared lips.
She stood up slowly, "Sir...you should not be sitting wet in this cool morning air..." she moved to grab two of the blankets. Maybe one day she could steal one of Corrah's boots and see him smile and be so happy about something she did.

Aras sat up slowly, her muscles beginning to ache from her unexpected overnight growth. Rhea was changing the subject ...
"We could wash in the stream," she suggested softly. She wasn't sure about Rhea sometimes, but she hadn't been bothered by cold since her first growth. "You're right, Armus is coming for us, we should be quick."
Any other time, she would have been happy to have him give her a wolf bath ... but she was worried about the question he had been about to ask but didn't. Not to mention, she knew where wolf baths led ... and as much as she would love it any other time, he was right, Armus was coming.
"What were you going to ask me?" she asked him finally, her curiosity and her worry getting the better of her. She needed to know before it drove her mad. "You said you wanted to ask me something ..."
Corrah smiled faintly as he stared into the fire. Yes, he had been rather cheerful when he and Armus had returned ...
"There is something that I have to confess to you," he murmured softly, looking up to see Kanis holding some blankets. "To me ... taking on the task of training you and your sister meant that I had to be serious, take my role seriously, become a mentor for you to respect and look up to ... but while I did enjoy how things were going, I was not truly happy."
He looked back into the fire, his icy blue eyes bright and serious. "It has been a long time since I have ... well, I suppose you would call it goofing off ... with Armus ... at one time, we used to train in such silly manners quite often, though of course there was always the serious training. To be able to relax again, laugh and even play in a manner of speaking ... has indeed lightened my mood and made me more cheerful."
He smiled faintly. "Perhaps I should do the same training with you and your sister, where there are no rules, no fouls ... I am sure we would all enjoy your training far more, and perhaps I would continue to be as carefree as I was this when I returned here this morning."

Rhea dropped the rag and nods walking naked out of the cave and towards the water. "I will ask you tonight Arrras. Armus is coming. Now is...." his ears lowered, "now is not the time."
He had dropped to all fours and his body was soild muscle each movement showed his raw power and seemed more relaxed and sexy as he walked in a wolfish manner.
"For now...we...must wash up...can't have Armas see." he said softly.
Kanis listened as she lay a blanket over Corrah's shoulder then as she walked back to her spot at the fire wrapped her around herself as well.
"You have done a wonderful job and you have both of our respect. I respect no one like I do you sir. I mean I respect my parents and Armus as well but not as much as you sir. And I would train in any manner you asked the fact that you are willing to train us is an honer and i know we would enjoy any form of training that you saw best sir."
She gave a slightly less that humorful laugh. "You have Aras and Rhea paired up and everything is fun for them. But sir if you are not happy with training us then it wont be worth it for any of us." she said softly. "And I am sure you can continue to train with Armus...I will be leaving this campsight soon and you wont have to worry about checking in on me or me getting in the way sir.
She smiled up at him. It seemed he did not have as much fun with her and Aras. And that the fun she had with Corrah was merely one sided.
Under her blanket Kanis ran her hand over the thin scar left by her brother.

Poor Aras was completely confused by this time, and as she moved to follow Rhea she kept her eyes lowered, trying to figure out what was going on. Rhea was acting so strangely ...
Corrah smiled warmly at Kanis.
"If that is how you feel," he said softly, "then from now on we will change how we train. I have enjoyed training you thus far ... but you are right, it is not the best way. I know that now."
He looked into the fire and nodded decisively. "Beginning today, our training will be more practical," he murmured. "I would ... I would like very much if you do not return to your cave, Kanis ... I leave the decision up to you, but ... do keep in mind, I would like if you stayed with me and Armus. At least for a while longer, while we try out this new way of training and see if it will work."
He lifted his bright blue eyes to gaze at her, and for the first time in his life, they were filled with hesitation rather than certainty. He paused a moment, looking as though he wanted to add something, but all he added finally was a soft, "Please?"

Rhea walked on two legs towards the river. His young body tense and strong. He hurried to clean and shook off the water afterwards. He could see the sun starting to come up and he knew soon Armus would be there. So he dressed quickly as well and watched.
His ears were lowered and he seemed just as nervous and distracted as Aras. He really wished that Armus would not be coming for them. He would not be focused on training what so ever. He would be focused more on Aras and controlling his needs and wants and body.
Kanis felt bad despite Corrah's warm smile. She felt like she had let him down. And that made her feel even worse. She just looked into the fire her hand spread over her scar.
As he started to almost shyly started to talk she looked up at him. She could not figure why he would want her to stay. Was is so Aras and Rhea could be alone? She bit her lip and her heart started to be faster. He wanted her to stay with him. She could not looked away as his eyes looked to hers.
She felt her heart stop at the look and again she felt a fire within her body. She wanted to move over to him and nuzzle into his chest. Her cheeks darkened a bit at her thoughts. "I..." she paused and licked her lips wanting to stop the worried look into is beautiful eyes, that even thought they were worried they broke threw her core. And his soft please started her heart racing again. "Sir I don't want to be a bother. A..and you don't get to move around like you like sir..." She smiles softly though, "But i would be....honored to stay with you sir...I really enjoy being with you...and Armus of corse." Besides Corrah was still probably worried about Ruran and he still had a lot of defensive training to teach her.
She laughed softly and was finally able to take her eyes from the emotion filled piercing eyes. She tired to clam herself down. "Aras and Rhea most likely do not want me to return to the caves anyway." she said with a laugh and her hand slid up under the blanket to her chest and she took a bright. She did not know why her body was so sensitive right now.
She smiled shyly at the fire and smiles, "Thank you sir...I would be very glad to stay with you sir." she smiles up at him a warm smile her eyes shut with the smile hiding her confused worried eyes.

Aras washed as quickly as her distracted mind would let her, and as soon as she was dry she pulled her clothes on once more, now well aware of the new way they fit her, of the changes that had occurred to her body over the course of the night.
She had just finished dressing when she heard the now-familiar sound of Armus climbing up the side of the cliff face, and she headed towards their cave to grab her training weapons - wooden ones that Corrah had fashioned for her, though he would have to make her some new ones now that she had grown.
It was only a few moments more before Armus herself appeared over the side of the cliff, smiling ... somewhat sadly, truth be told. She seemed a little distracted ...
"Good morning," she told the two softly. "I hope that you slept all right ..."
It was only then that she noticed that they had grown, and she couldn't help but stare. They were both turning out to be so handsome ... on the other hand, this presented a huge problem for her.
"Um ..." She scratched her head thoughtfully. "This ... isn't going to work ..."
Corrah's eyes lit up warmly and his smile grew wide when Kanis agreed to stay with him and Armus, and for once he didn't try to hide it.
"Thank you," he said softly, looking away from her. He could see the look in her eyes, on her face, the movements of her body language ... and he knew how awkward this moment must be for her. He did not want to embarrass her any more than necessary. He wanted her to be comfortable with him.
"And now," he smiled, rising once more and heading across the clearing for his bag, "time to prepare breakfast. Would you like to help me?"

Rhea tilted his head as his mother moved up to their platform. He was walking on all fours but when he saw her and sensed something was wrong he stood on two legs his long muscular body clothed almost for the first time though the leather top was just short enough so show the trail of deep green fur that lead down his ripped stomach and down his pants. His tail swayed as he walked over, his wild eyes worried. "What is wrong....mother?" He asked in a rough deep voice.
Then hearing her soft tone and her word he looked more confused, "What will not work?" He turned and looked at Aras worried. This might not be good.
Kanis wanted to cry at the beauty of Corrah's smile and they joy in his eyes. She felt her break colaspe in her chest and felt guilty for getting him to smile like that at her.
She shook her head, "No need to thank me sir...I will do what ever you think I should." she watched the blanket she put on him fall as he moved to get his bag. She gets up and moves to fold that blanket and her own. "If you would like help I can help...though I can't cook well."

Armus couldn't believe how handsome her wolfish son had grown ... and Aras was also a beauty ... how could so much be happening all at once?
She cleared her throat awkwardly, realizing that she was staring. "The training weapons we have for you," she replied in a murmur, "they're too small for you now, they won't do you any good ... I can't continue with your training until we have some new ones for you."
She sighed. "Why don't you two just take the day to yourselves, and I'll have Corrah make some more weapons for you and we can continue tomorrow."
Aras blinked. She wasn't going to argue something like that ... but it seemed as though Armus was giving up a little too easily ...
Corrah chuckled softly at Kanis. "You are very welcome to help," he smiled, "and there is no need to worry about not being able to cook very well. We were all at that point at one time ... and if you would like, I can teach you some of the tricks that I have learned."

Rhea looked shocked, "We will not be training?" He tried to keep the hope out of his eyes. But his lighter one betrayed some of his excitement. He moved to cup her cheek in his hand looking into Armus' eyes, "Something is troubling mother...can I help in any way? Will Kanis be returning?"
He was so worried now. His tail swayed low and his ears were back.
Kanis nods, "Yes sir...I will try." She returned to his side. Though she was confusing she knew if she did not just suck it up and stop entertaining the thoughts of them together.
"What do you need me to do sir?"
