Crashing Storm, Clashing Emotions!

The storm hadn?t seemed that big a deal, not at first at least, the island was often buffeted by minor storms, wind and rain whipping at the oasis on its way to the mainland. This one was different though the dark clouds in the sky didn?t roll on? at least not as he was used to, still he had not thought much of it, a thunder storm or two would not hurt them. Symphony on the other hand was convinced they needed to leave, to seek out shelter on the mainland. He wasn?t sure that was necessary but would indulge her just the same.
He was a bit worried for her as they swam from the island, she was pregnant, not showing but he believed her in that. He stayed close to her the whole swim, growing anxious as the wind picked up and the waves became choppier, but they touched down not long after, to his relief. Then the rain had started and he had worried about her and the pups, so they had taken shelter. That hadn?t lasted long unfortunately the driving rain driving them out of the den.
She voiced her concern and Gitan would agree, he was worried enough about her but Ludicael would have places to shelter? hopefully. The trip to the mangroves didn?t take as long as he expected, though longer than he would have liked. He kept as close to her as possible, but with the wind blowing he also did not want to slow her down and so stayed behind just a little bit. Finally she stopped, and he did as well hanging back. She threw her head back and let loose a call for her family, the wind picking it up and taking it away. He stepped forwards to speak to her. ?I will be right back, I am going to see if I can catch anything.? And with that the man took off.
The storm had driven most prey into hiding, and it was hard to catch any scents as the water washed it all away. He wandered into the trees some, staying careful of the faint scent marker, he would rather not be caught catching the pack?s prey. He pawed at a few visible burrows, digging at them some to try and reach the animals huddled inside, but they evaded him. There was a slight crashing within the forest and he went towards it, finding, smashed upon the ground, a nest.
One of the parent birds was squawking noisily from the canopy but laying next to a pool for broken eggs and twigs was the a jay, neck broken. He quickly snatched it up and fled the scene, the surviving jay swooping down upon him once or twice before returning to the fallen nest. When he finally returned to Symphony she was no longer alone. Standing before his mate was another female he assumed to be her sister. He moved to stand beside Symphony, dropping the bird at her paws as an offering. He noted her hunched posture and moved to stand behind her, acting as a bit of a wind break. He turned his head to look at Symphony?s sister. He smiled and nodded in greeting to her.
So far all of destruction woman he had met had all been rather similar in appearance, white coat and the same mis-matched eyes. He wondered if he would have that to look forward in his own children. Salute princess,
I?m Gitan.? He glanced quickly at Symphony and nuzzled at her shoulder. Tu?est d?accord, mon ange? He whispered to her.
