Kanis laughed and nods, "Yes I think so. So mom and you made us lunch? I can not wait to see what we have to eat." She was so hungry right now. She looked a bit confused, "OH we are going home? I though you were just dropping stuff off." she sighed a bit.
Niyana turned to look at her mate, "Yes I guess we could unless we want to eat first then head home." she stood and walked over.

Celebor nodded at Niyana, then looked down at Kanis again.
"Don't you want to come home?" he asked her softly, his brow furrowing slightly. "Even if only for a night? We can bring all of you back here tomorrow and you can continue your training again, for a few days this time ... we don't want to let go of you quite yet ... we missed you at home."
Ruque nodded his agreement. "It's so quiet with all of you gone," he said in his soft voice. "It's lonely."

Niyana smiled and laughs, "oh come on Kanis you should come home and we will get you all set up to come back for the next few days and this way also give Armus and Corrah time to figure out where you will be staying."
Kanis looked a bit worried but then nods, "Alright then....yes we can go home I would like to spend more time with Ruque. And get some stuff."He smiled, "But can we all eat first?"

Ruque looked positively terrified at the idea that two such hardened fighters as Armus and Corrah (as he saw them) were going to be eating the food he had helped to prepare, but he nodded bravely in agreement.
"I hope everyone likes it," he said apprehensively, looking around at everyone. "And I hope there's enough ... I didn't know the wolf boy was going to be here ..."
Though Aras was sleeping, and they could conceivably give her share to the boy.
Armus smiled. "Well he's been eating more than everyone else, so I'm sure he won't need much," she said brightly, grinning at Rhea. "What do you say, Rhea?"

Rhea heard his mother asking a question in a friendly manner and he smiled up at her tail wagging and nodded his head. Maybe his english was not as good as they thought.
He padded over to the basket and started to sniff at it.
Niyana smiles and picks Ruque up again, "You should be proud to share your cooking with everyone. And more so if they really like it. That is being chief dear." she smiled and ruffled his hair gently. She could tell he was nervous.
Kanis smiles, "I can not wait to see what you made Ruque."

Armus laughed and watched Rhea closely.
"Don't touch," she told him in a warning tone, though she was still smiling. "Everyone has to share."
Ruque blushed nervously but smiled up at Niyana as she ruffled his hair. "I hope it's good," was all his said, his tone soft and shy.
He looked down at Kanis, and his blush deepened.

Rhea turned and looked at her though he still sniffed at the basket he did not touch it and he moved to a corner of it to sit. His eyes looking over Aras. She did look sick and he was still worried about her.
Kanis giggled and moved up to kiss her brother's cheek, "I know it will be great Ruque!" she smiled proudly up at him, "I know I can't cook if my life depended on it."
Ruran returned with two large leaves to find his fire in embers and smiled. Good timing. He could see everyone else having fun and he roll their eyes...stupid Ruque and their mother.

Armus grinned. "Well, since everyone's here," she said brightly, "why don't we all sit down to eat? I'm sure the kids must be starving, it was a long walk for them today and they didn't eat a whole lot."
Celebor turned to Niyana and smiled. "What do you think?" he asked her softly. "Eat and then take the kids home?"
Ruque blushed at his sister's kiss, and his eyes were sparkling as he looked over at her.
"Thanks," he said softly, his cheeks a bright red. "I bet you could cook if someone showed you. I didn't know how either til Mama showed me how."

Niyana nods and moves to unpack the basket of food so everyone could pick what they wanted. She laid out a salad, fuirts, rabbit, venison, breads and cheeses, as well as a cake. "Alright that sounds good. And when Aras wakes we can get her a little something." She smiled and handed everyone a wooden plate there were even, with Aras asleep, enough small plates for the surprises.
Kanis laughed at her brother's blush he was so cute when he blushed like that. He really was such a sweet guy. She felt like she could tell him anything and though there would be lots of blushing he would be honest and help her. She knew that later on in life if this proved true she would be coming to him for allot more than just wounds.
"Oh that is not true. I am sure even with the msot care taken to teach me I would still be able to make blamed travel food at the best." she giggled again.
Rhea looked in awe by the food. There were so many good smelling things and so much. He looked over at Corrah and Ruran and wondered is the alpha and the trouble maker would be joining them.
Ruran just waiting by the fire for his fish. He was sure Corrah would lecture him on how it should not be wasted...even if it didn't have any spices or nothing.

Armus smiled at Niyana as she handed out the plates.
"I'll share a plate with Rhea, I don't think he would hold it even if he had his own," she offered. "And he did just eat, so he might not even be hungry."
She held one hand out to Rhea and smiled at him. "Come here, Rhea," she called him, "we're going to have some food."
Corrah watched Ruran silently, wondering if he would try to have his mother's and brother's food rather than the fish he had caught. He really didn't care either way, but it intrigued him to see if Ruran would accept his mother's love - since of course she would have put it into her food, what mother wouldn't? - or if he would be stubborn and self-reliant.
Ruque shook his head at Kanis. "It doesn't matter where you are, if you know some herbs or something that you can put on your food it will never taste bad," he insisted. "I bet you could do something great! I'll teach you a bit when we're at home again, okay?"
He glanced at their other sister, then looked back at Kanis. "Should we wake up Aras so she can eat too?" he asked her quietly. "I bet she's hungry."

Rhea looked at his pack mother a bit suspiciously. She was not going to scold him if he moved over to her was she? She did say he could not touch the basket and now she was trying to lure him over to her. Slowly he moved closer but stayed just out of her arm's reach his tail wagging gently.
Ruran seemed to be ignoring them, And when his mother call he called back that he would be eating the fish he had caught...though he might try some of the dessert.
Kanis laughed, "You will half to teach me or I will put the wrong herbs...and poison myself...or worse make the dish taste horrible." She laughed and looked over to Corrah as her brother looked at their sister.
She wondered what was going threw his mind. She knew that it was mostly occupied by her brother now. She wondered if she would ever get their master to think about just her....to be proud...to spend time with just her or give her a speical training...a secret move non of her siblings would share with her.
This though brought a blush to her face. Why was she thinking about being better than them...they would all be better in some things, and she should be proud even if her siblings surpassed her at least they were all strong and safe.
"Yes um...well we should at least try to wake her just to see if she wants to eat now."
Niyana called over to her son, "Ruran will you be joining us?" When he replied she nods, "Alright I am sure there will be enough left for you...if you would like to have some more than just fish you are welcome to come and help yourself." She could tell her son was still in a bad mood. But she had not thought Corrah could change him over night...then this elf would truly be a miracle worker.

Armus grinned at Rhea. "Come on," she called him again, beckoning for him to come over to sit with her. "We're going to have some food that Aras and Kanis's mother and brother made. It's going to be really good - come on."
She held out the plate as if to show him she wasn't going to do anything bad to him, as he seemed to fear - from the look in his eyes.
Corrah's expression didn't change, but his eyes sparkled with laughter, hidden by his cowl, at Ruran's reaction. Somehow he wasn't surprised, even though he wasn't amused. He himself moved to stand just outside the circle of people so that he was near them but not in the middle of things.
Ruque looked back at Kanis and smiled. "I'm sure you'll be fine," he assured her, "and Mama and I can teach you anything you want to know."
He saw her blush then, and his expression changed to one of confusion. Was she that certain that she would fail? He of course had no idea what she was really thinking, and so he reached out and put one hand on her shoulder.
"You can learn, I'm sure you can," he said worriedly. "You're smart and you're a quick learner ..."
Aras was temporarily forgotten while he took care of his first sister.
Celebor took it upon himself to wake Aras, holding her up in one hand and gently shaking her shoulder to bring her to wakefulness. "Aras," he murmured softly. "Wake up ... we're going to eat ..."
Aras cracked one eye open and looked at Celebor sleepily. "Food?" she mumbled, sitting up halfway. She yawned, then rubbed her eyes and looked around. She could already smell the food that had been set out, and her stomach growled in anticipation. Suddenly, she felt very wide awake, and she smiled and climbed down from Celebor's hand and moved to sit with Kanis and Ruque.

Rhea sighed and slowly he padded over to Armus and sat next to her. he sat very much like a dog with his legs under him and his hands on the ground in front of him.
He was still not fully sure what she was saying to talking bout but her tone was happy and friendly so why not see what she was going to do...and he saw the food an knew that if he jumped on it he would be in big trouble.
Kanis was pulled from her thoughts by the touch of her brother's hand and snapped from the spell that just the sight of Corrah was already dragging her into.
"Thank you Ruque I hope so...I would not want to disapoint you." she smiled and reached her hand up to take that of Ruque. She smiled warmly at him.
Niyana smiled and laughed, "Alrighty well I do hope everyone enjoys what we have. Please help yourself to what ever you want to eat...there is plenty for everyone."
Ruran rolled his eyes and watched the leave in the fire. He hated his family.

Armus grinned at Rhea and set the plate down again.
"You, sir, are going to learn how to be human," she giggled; and in a single lightning-fast move, she pulled his feet out from under him so that he sat flat on his bottom, legs sticking out in front of him like a normal human boy.
Aras giggled and scrambled over to sit next to Rhea, sitting exactly like he was now.
"Look!" she exclaimed brightly, pointing at his legs and then at her own. "We're sitting the same!"
It was her way of helping to teach him how to be people.
Ruque smiled back at Kanis and squeezed her hand warmly. He wanted her to feel good about herself ... and he knew that she could do it. He knew she could. She was smart, after all. And brave. Much braver than him, obviously.
Celebor grinned at Niyana and decided that since no one else was going for the food yet, he would start. He reached for one of the salads - the one that he knew Ruque had worked to hard to get just right - and took a big helping of it.
"Dig in," he called to the others as he started to eat.
Corrah looked around at the food for a moment, then knelt and picked up a few strips of the venison and some cheese, putting them together and taking a bite. He chewed slowly, savouring the flavour, and then nodded thoughtfully. Yes ... it was good. Perhaps it was best that Ruque wasn't training with his siblings ... it seemed he was meant for cooking instead of fighting.

Rhea blinked and yelped as his legs were knocked out from under him and he landed oddly on his tail. He whimpered softly and looked up confused at his pack mother then he heard Aras moved over and sit next to him. H
He was confused even more...but being a canine he had a hard time holding a grudge or many memories...and his human side had not kicked in yet. He tilted his head his hands still between his legs on the ground.
Well if she can do it then he could he guessed.
Niyana smiled and dished up a small mixture of foods for Kanis and Ruque. And she started to dish some up for Aras as well. It was only after her children all had a plate that she dished some up for herself and taking a bite of the salad smiled, "Oh yes Kanis I am sure Ruque will be able to teach you very well...he is already doing so well."
Kanis smiled at her brother it was nice to see that someone really believed in her. "Thank you mom....oh Ruque you made most of this?" She smiled brightly. Her brother was so good...and he already had things to show for his training.
