Fancy Free, family tree broke

Nico was getting to be a better hunter every day!  Well, maybe every week?  Regardless!  Today he had caught a rabbit!  Being a pretty opportunistic fellow he was just as happy to eat eggs, bugs, fruits, and all manner of things but meat was on the menu today.  Of course, a few times on his menu had been whatever Jack had scrounged for them.  It still amazed Nico that Jack wasn’t overly concerned about being a great hunter.  Guess there were benefits to a big pack but still, Nico was proud of his ability to care for himself!  His bird companions that warned him if danger was close didn’t figure into the context, he’d be just as fine alone.  The fact he’d had to run to Oscar for help a time or two didn’t count either.  Nor the fact he was pretty safe when he hung out with Jack on the beach.  No, it was just how great the pup was at caring for himself.

Nico pranced along to a song in his head, unfortunately, he could only hum it since he had the rabbit in his mouth.  The sun had risen, but not too long ago.  Nico wanted to get back to the pirate pack land before it got overly late in the day as that would mean more time to play after the meal.  The idea of taking Jack out exploring was the first idea in his plan.  There were cool statues out there and lands magically changing seasons and they really needed to go play over there some more.
