Kaino

At the break of dawn, Sephiran had summoned Kaino to his side, having already revealed his intentions the day prior. It was high time they moved the band into another territory- and who better than to scout out their new home, than the inquisitive Kaino? She had shown an interest in navigation- having scouted the neighboring territories, advising him that spending the summer in the north may not be the best choice. And so, the duo moved into the next region, setting their sights on the eastern territories that held more promise than the Polar Sound.
With Kaino at his side, navigating them across the unfamiliar domain. Sephiran allowed her to make her assessment of this territory. To be suitable for their band, they would need the basics- fresh water, bountiful food sources, borders that could be fortified, and shelters to shield them from the elements. So far, the plains seemed to have it all- but one could never know, what dangers may be lurking in the shadows.

Having traveled from Saxe-land to meet up with the Syndicate, Kaino found that she quite liked seeing new places. It was enjoyable to gauge the differences in terrain, wildlife, resources. Each land had something unique to offer. What, she wondered, would these vast plains hold?
With Sephiran at her side, Kaino took her first steps onto the plain. The woman's nose lifted and she scented to air. The blowing grasses, all different types, all different lengths, gave the world a sweet, clean smell. Ears perked as the lavender and charcoal woman took in the various sounds of the plain. Far off she could hear the babbling of water. Many birds were singing. Deeper into the plain, she could hear the lowing of ungulates. The place showed promise, but she needed to see more.
With a grin at the purple brute beside her, Kaino padded out into the territory that they could possibly claim for the season. The grass was soft underfoot. She couldn't wait to see what else they'd find.

As they moved through the plains, the duo remained silent for some time. Kaino took the lead, with Sephiran lingering just a few steps away. While she completed her assessment, he was conducting one of his own. Noting the variety of foliage here, which would provide an array of herbs for them to utilize. The plains are also rich with the scent of prey- both land, and aviary. The winding river led to a large lake, showing promise of freshwater game and fish. Sephiran also noticed there was an abundance of serpents, both in the grasses and in the water. His knowledge of them was minimal, but he did know how to distinguish venomous verses non-venomous. Something that would be useful for them. He could instruct Aurelia to collect venom from the snakes, and store it in viable vials to coat their weapons for battle. The thought alone made him smirk.
After some time, Sephiran broke the silence- shifting his gaze to Kaino, before rumbling out, “Your thoughts?” So far, he was enjoying it here- but perhaps his navigator had found a reason not to stay.

Sephiran's deep vocals broke Kaino from her thoughts and the woman brought her mint and ice gaze to fall upon him. What did she think? "There's fresh water and ample prey. The snakes can be harvested and used for both meat, skins and venom." The venom would be a little difficult, but she assumed a Sidi would be the one collecting it and so she didn't worry.
Kaino motioned towards the waving grasses with a point of her pink nose. "The long grasses will provide privacy." The fae stepped forward and began moving again. She neared the little river and took a drink, tongue flicking over her lower lip to rid it of any clinging droplets. Looking up the length of the stream, something else came into view that was rather interesting. "There are dens up ahead. We should look at those and see whether or not they can be used or if they're a wash."

His ears twitched on top of his skull, eyes settling on Kaino while she spoke. He stared into those monochromatic eyes of hers- analyzing her expression, searching for anything out of place. But of course, there was nothing concerning- only an intuitive curiosity of this new territory.
Taking a drink before nodding his head in agreement, he motioned for her to scout out the dens. He stayed by the lakeside for a bit longer- surveying the waters for any predators, like large alligators or anacondas. And once he felt satisfied with his assessment, he sauntered over to the dens she described.

Kai headed into the first of the dens. It was a little dusty, but it seemed to be in good enough shape. As her eyes adjusted, the woman used her ears instead, and it was a good thing that she did. A rattling came from the back of the den and Kaino huffed lightly. As Sephiran joined her within the den, she nudged his shoulder and motioned towards some rocks at the back. "Rattlesnakes. Good eating, but dangerous."
Exiting the den, Kaino moved up a small incline that allowed her to look out over the plains. From her vantage point, she could see deer grazing in the longer grass and rabbits playing in the short grass. The woman's haunches folded and she seated herself. "This will be a nice change from the winter territories. It'll pose it's challenges, but that's what makes us strong," she spoke matter of factly. "Being here will allow the band to learn new skills and it'll also give us the opportunity to inspect nearby packs that we may not have much knowledge of." Kaino turned her attention to the big man beside her. "What do you think?"

Approaching the mouth of a den, Sephiran inspected the entrance before entering. It was rather large- perhaps the largest, and better-insulated den out of the rest. But then the rattling came- ominous in sound, echoing off the cavern walls. It made his pelt bristle- not out of fear or worry. It was thrill that rolled down his spine, being so close to danger, and the possibility of harvesting such a potent venom.
Moving towards an incline that looked out over the plains, the duo took a seat and looked out across the territory. A soft wind rustled their pelts, carrying their scent out into the plains. Her words filled his ears, as a contemplative expression morphed his features. She was right- in this territory, they could flourish, far better than the north. Plus, the north had become rather dull lately. They needed a change of pace to better hone their skills. “Agreed.” He said, shifting his eyes to her. “The band will move here for the summer season, as we prepare to invade our competitors.” The corners of his lips curled into a devious, wicked smirk. One that gave insight into the hostile thoughts forming in his mind, as he fantasized about raiding other packs and causing havoc.
In the days to come, Sephiran would announce this transition to his members- using both his falcon, and his beloved cousin Kaino to deliver the news. And for her compliance and diligence, Sephiran would reward her. "You may choose your den before the others, Kiano." He said, before peeling himself away from her side, to go and select the den he would decorate in his... treasures.
