H U N T x R E F L E C T I O NWhy Does It Need Three? It's not weird that all I've been able to think about since Levi mentioned a nest is hatchlings, is it? No, I don't think so. I'm in my prime, my first orakoi has already left the nest. It's time. So, I talked to Levi a little about it. He seems to be under the impression that I've no idea what I'm doing. I raised Carrion! Mostly... So I know what to do with little ones! It's him I'm worried about! Thinking he can't name them until he 'knows' them. The silliest thing I've ever heard.Results: +68 EXP

H U N T x R E F L E C T I O NThis Black Magic It's a touch unsettling how... mercilessly Levi killed a youngster, even if it was a dragon. Not only that, but he killed it by... suffocating it. Wasn't even a quick death. I don't feel bad for dragons, or anything! But they should at least have our respect. There's no reason to make them suffer. If someone had slain Levi and I before my little one's eyes, I would hope they'd end it quickly if they weren't going to spare him. Just food for thought, I suppose.Results: +150 EXP, +3 Diabi Dragon Orb

F A M I L Y x S O L O
Acting Stork "You just found these," Sam demanded as he stared incredulously at the three glossy, oblong orbs that Oblivion had returned with. He was half-inclined to believe this was some prank, concocted as a punishment for spending time cowering in the rain. Levi had lived here once, so he surely knew other Khehora that would help him pull it off... Even if Sam wasn't entirely sure what type of mother would hand over her eggs for such an event. Maybe they were just painted stones. He reached a claw out to scratch lightly at one of them. The egg even looked like him, for Abronaxus's sake. Levi was obviously trying too hard.
The Diabi squealed in alarm as his companion's claw scraped along the shall with what had to be ear-splitting force from the inside. "Sam, don't," he pleaded, knocking the Gaili's fore claw up and away from the little egg. That was no way to treat an egg! Oblivion shot him a glare before scooping all three of the eggs nearer to him and tucking them beneath his wing, safely away from the prying and disbelieving eyes of Samael. "I didn't just find them," he assured stubbornly. "They were a gift." Sort of. Sam's brow quirked in suspicious question. Levi swallowed. He'd spent every moment since coming in contact with the eggs how he'd explain their sudden appearance to a skeptical Gaili. Sam was thoughtful and reasonable, but he would never condone killing an innocent Khehora, even if it was the best thing for her. "The parents were locked in combat with a group of filthy borgnah when I came upon them. I heard the father's cry and actually... thought it was you," he admitted sheepishly. "By the time I arrived, it was too late to save him, but the mother fought on valiantly. Together we managed to fend the creatures away from her nest, but she'd been gravely injured. Without anyone nearby to help her, she knew her life was at an end. Her dying wish was that I be certain her babies had a good home. And they will. With us," he finished solemnly with a nod, flicking his tail around the eggs protectively.
The Diabi gouged his mate's reaction. There was disbelief, obviously. It coated everything else like a thick slime. But beneath it there was sadness for those lost, acceptance of Levi's tale, approval that his Diabi had done the right thing, satisfaction for having a mate that could be entrusted to such a deep and meaningful task. And lower still, given away by only the faintest glimmer in Sam's eye, glee, happiness, excitement. He had a nest of his own. No, they were not born of him, but they were his. They had been presented to his mate, which was hardly a wing beat away from being presented to him personally.
Oblivion ducked his head to hide his smirk, disguising the motion by raising his wing to peer down at the eggs. Sam was going for it. It wasn't like it was that far from the truth. He'd merely kept a few of the finer details to himself. So it shouldn't be surprising that his Gaili would believe him. They were mates, after all. Sam should always believe him about serious matters like this.
So when emerald orbs appeared over him to peek down into the niche Oblivion made with his wings and tail, he shouldn't have been surprised. "You're serious," Sam questioned softly, giving his companion's maw a nudge to draw his attention back to green eyes. Levi tipped his head to stare back at him. His Gaili was hiding how eager he was. So earnest. Oblivion could tell him the truth, but something so harsh would ruin the moment. One day he would tell Samael everything. He promised it to himself. For now, he simply nodded and unfurled his feathered limbs to fully reveal the eggs to his mate once more.
The larger Khehora leaned down to sniff at sleek treasures. They certainly smelled like they'd lingered around a young couple for a while... Levi's tale wasn't impossible, just unlikely. And if it gave him his own eggs to care for, should he really question it? He had been thinking about young orakoi for a while now... It was a blessing that Levi should run into a young mother, even if she hadn't made it through the battle. He rubbed the softer pads of his paws against a dark egg with a yellow stripe. Trick or not, he should be pleased in this moment.
"Alright," Samael relented finally. "If you're really serious..." He trailed off, still somewhat reluctant to buy into what could possibly be a trick, but also really wanting to swaddle one of those eggs in a web of his own wings and tail. Reading his thoughts, Oblivion beamed, and gave the dark egg that held Sam's attention a nudge toward the Gaili. A pleasant spark of excitement shot through him as the smooth egg tumbled toward him, and Sam was quick to wrap it up in a bundle of leathery wings. He crouched down and cooed softly at it, rubbing his nose against the dark eggshell. His emerald gaze flicked up briefly to see Levi's smirk, and he felt inclined to combat that smug expression in some way. "If you're lying, I'll plow you into the ground," Sam threatened with as much malice as he could muster, while shielding the defenseless orb from his angry words.
To his surprise, Levi only blinked in shock. The Diabi recovered quickly, shrugging it off with a ripple of his feathers as he lay down to cover the two other eggs with his glossy coat. "If that's what gets you going, I'm sure I could come up with something that would spu-"
Sam's eyes widened in realization. "Y-you know I didn't mean-!"
The Diabi ambled closer, scooting across the ground and dragging his eggs with him, as gently as he could manage. "Well, we should be good and close if we're going to be raising these younggins together." he pressed his downy flank to Sam's side and nuzzled into his companion's neck. "It's not so weird to want to be close to you in other ways, is it?"
Needless to say, neither of them thought anymore words were necessary.x

H U N T x R E F L E C T I O NMotherly Instinct After being jumped by a group of Diabi dragons, I firmly stand by my decision to leave. I know Oblivion would like to be near his parents, but he made a conscious decision to live with me and my clan, and if that's the case, then our young should grow up around the home I know and love. Enough of this dark continent. We're homeward bound!Results: +150 EXP, +3 Diabi Dragon Orb

H U N T x R E F L E C T I O NNeed to Have a Talk... As furious as I am that Levi would simply give one of our very few treasures away, maybe it... really is for the best. She should be safe with his mother, and there are only two of us, so it makes sense to have two orakoi as well... I suppose I'm more annoyed that he didn't talk to me about it first, and that he's kind of insinuating that I'll be a bad parent! With any luck, we'll be able to work it out together, though.Results: +90 EXP, +3 Gaili Dragon Orb

P R P x R E F L E C T I O NShaken, Not Scrambled My babies... I have two beautiful babies... A little boy and a little girl. One Diabi like Levi, and one... Gaili, like me. What do I do with them? How do I feed them? How much will they sleep? Are they too delicate to play with? They can't fly, but they have so much to say. Already, they're sharing so much emotion with me. And they've hardly been in the world but a moment...Results: The eggs hatch!

H U N T x R E F L E C T I O NFamily Outing It was nice to run into Sulu again after so long. Strange that she's always the one around when I've got little ones with me. First Carrion and now Keke and Zarri this time. Like always, we had to save them from trouble. But this time it was from... creatures I'd never seen before. I had no trouble handling them, I just... wasn't entirely certain what they were. Sulu had at least seen it before, but she didn't have much information, either. Neither of my orakoi were hurt, though, so that's the best I can ask for.Results: +83 EXP, +60 Iron Bar, +8 Plain Cloth, +15 Shattered Granite
