Hopefully, this is home

Deteste sat as Rina hunted. He had planned on helping her take down bigger game and possibly dragging what was left to pack lands for Lucidael. Deteste was an experienced hunter, knowing some rather untraditional methods from his time as a hired assassin, and could take down larger game without too much difficulty when he had another to help him. However he relaxed realizing that the woman could take care of herself. He watched her animated hunt. The pale strip down her back glinted like ice in the sun. She was a young adult and had a lively personality. She was pretty and her youth caused him to be glad and eased at heart. He had never felt so peaceful until he had found the Ludicael. Everyone he had met had such integrity and goodness in them and here was another well suited addition to their number.



Deteste was about to eat the share that Rina had offered him. He was not particularly hungry but appreciated her gracious gesture. But he could sense Jupiter in the distance and the east ward wind told him that she would be here soon. He would give her the option to have the meal. The wind also told him that she was accompanied by her strange, dark friend. Never had Deteste spoken with the tasmanian devil and he supposed that this was simply his nature. There was an obvious relationship between he and the Sol and Deteste respected him accordingly. He smiled softly as Jupiter came into sight, always glad to see her, and laughed inwardly at the ever present agitation that had developed with her progressing pregnancy. Laxago had once, sincerely, tried to kill him during her pregnancy. He had a plethora of nasty scars across his belly that told the tale. Deteste would never become impatient with the Sol and there was not a pregnant woman in the world who could tempt him into anger.



Sol. He spoke, timbre formal and dipping his crown lowly at Jupiter. This is Rina, and yes, she seeks acceptance. Once addressing Jupiter's inquiry he made sure to bow in respect of her companion. He had seen him frequently within the territory and he assumed that, like every other Ludicael member, he was aiding the Sol while she tended to her pregnancy. Are you hungry? he indicated the shrew with a nudge of his maw.
