Bananas in Pajamas.

Duel-toned eyes linger on the herd of carefree elk down below the group, Zeke’s ears swiveling backward to pull in Aresenn’s words as he speaks. The fiery man makes wise points and he dips his head in silent agreement, watching the way the herd rotates and moves. Nostrils flare and expel steam as the teacher speaks of planning and execution to bring down such large animals and he works up a quick, fanciful one involving the gathered wolves.

The talk moves to the behavior of the animals and Ezekiel carefully watches the slow purposeful movements of the herd. Aresenn falls silent and the dark man blinks, pulling himself from the wonderfully delicious thoughts that had run rampant in his gray matter. Everyone breaks off, the two female wolves moving toward the herd while the tigress, Aresenn, and Zeke remain up above. For the time, he remains there, watching the way they work together and learning their strengths as hunters.
