Welcome to Gaia! ::

She nodded her head at the response and sighed. "Hard to believe he would go, he's so scared of it." She said a little humor in her voice. "I understand. I just wanted to let you know that he is one of the only things I love in this world...I like to add you to it too. Just be careful with him."

Rei gave that slight smiled that she used when she did feel some little warmth in her. She moved forward and gave her a few licks. "Good, I'm glad to have you as a daughter. Lets go finish taking care of Mr. Odi." She said smiling walking back.

Odi rested silently as he watched them talking. He hated not knowing what they were saying. "What were you talking about?" He asked when they got close enough to hear them.

"Girl stuff?" He questioned her as he looked at her. He thought about asking again but decided against it. He probably didn't want to know. "Yeah...hey mom. If you head about a quarter mile that way and sleep under something you'll be fine...we got some violent birds around here." He lied, he didn't want the scout to see her from the air when he flew by. Her colors were like his but he didn't want to risk it. As Ara laid close he put his head on her paws close to her face, he liked sleeping like that. "Your fur is so puffy." He chuckled.

She smiled watching the two, it made her feel good seeing her son happy. "I understand. Good night son, good night daughter." She said with a smile then walked off the way Odi told her too.

"Did she just call you daughter?" He asked surprised.

Odi woke up like he normally did, before the sun came up when it was still dark. He did however remember that Ara was still against him. He laid their for a moment enjoying her heartbeat before moving his head slowly from her and stood up silently and stretched. He knew his mother would be up soon so he got to work quickly. He gathered some more strawberries from the same bush, careful of snakes. And brought it back. Then he managed to catch a baby pig that wandered from it's den when it's mother wasn't around and brought back. Seeing the food gathered he took notice that he didn't feel sick as yesterday, although he did feel drained still.

Rei woke up a little bit after her soon did. She laid curled under a hollow of a tree. It felt good to spend some time with her son but she was even more glad he has yet to question her appearance. She came hoping to get her to join her new tribe but he found a new place so she let him have his life. Finally deciding to check on them she walked out of hte hollow and made her way to the two. She could make out Odi watching Ara with a soft look on his face.

Odi was watching his mate silently, his eyes becoming accustom the darkness. She was so gorgeous he thought silently and drifted off into picturing a future. Kits running around playing; she laying about with another litter on the way, and he was being attacked by them.

All that thinking immedatily disappeared when he saw her jump up. He rushed over to her quickly, "Ara whats wrong?" He asked licking her face quickly. Was she still sick?

"A nightmare of what?" He asked curious, the troubles of the day before weren't on his mind. He gently started to lick her clean, he never seen her sweat like this before. It was kind of a shock.

"You are okay?" She asked Ara as she made her way to them silently. Her voice and face lacked emotion but her words were her way of showing concern.

Odi lifted and eye as he watched her. "Your probably just stressed out about yesterday." He said laying close to her. "Don't worry about it, since your up I brought you your favorite." He said smiling reassuringly at her.

He smiled, it felt good to get a thank you. Normally when he hunt and brought something back it was just a grumble or a why not a deer? "No problem." He said smiling the looked at his mom and made the motion for her to eat.

Rei smiled seeing them and walked over ate a few berries. "So...when should I be expecting grandchildren." She asked Ara with that slight smile.
