The tension had cleared by the time she returned to the pair and there was a palpable change in emotional tone. Eris cocked her head slightly to the side, but didn't say anything. Her feelings on blood relatives were complicated, although it was difficult to tell they were related at all. In fact, their scents were markedly different - Riva had the air of pack about her. Her coat was also much darker, even Eris could see that. From Oxide's cagey comments about his past so far, she thought it best not to pry. He could talk to her on his own time, perhaps when they had some more privacy.

"Kesali, you say? Do you know how many packs there are in these lands? I feel like I scent a new one every time I go gathering," Eris chuckled, presenting the two of them with their fish. She settled next to Oxide, digging into her own meal with gusto. Although she was occupied with her food, she made sure to press her body as close to his as possible. This would be a pleasant meal! She would make sure of it.
