Nothing could have made him happier than sharing his prize with Talien. She had helped him earn it after all and more than that, they were a team. And he liked the way her eyes shone with surprise and gratitude as he nudged it toward her. He knew that it wouldn't be a feast but it would at least fill her up for now and they could always catch something else again later. He said that they made a good team and she agreed with him in a soft voice, his gaze lifting to hers in that split moment and it felt like his heart grew three times bigger. His smile only broadened, going ear to ear almost as he looked at her, his eyes practically glowing. Of course he was eager to get her back to Taviora so she could see his home so he turned to lead the way, sure that she would be able to keep up. He'd already seen just how fast she can be after all. She called out that they should be going before following in his wake and he heard her pick up the rabbit corpse on her way up to meet him. He smirked despite himself, already picturing the sight of her with that rabbit in her mouth as if it were the best thing he could ever picture. When he winked at her, she let out a chuckle and he liked the sound, his ears pricking forward to listen to it.

She bounded after him, running her shoulder along his and he grumbled in pleasure deep in his throat. He could feel her gaze sweeping over him as he trotted ahead so he tried not to look back if only out of the corner of his eyes, not wanting to be caught staring as he was sure he would be. Her beauty was easy enough to get caught up in. Her silver fur shone just right in the sunlight and her eyes stood out like diamonds. The black tips only outlined her beauty more and he was mezmerized. It wasn't long before the landscape became more familiar and he knew he was on the right path. Of course he could walk this path with his eyes closed just by the smell alone. He was that familiar with going home. He turned to her as they reached the borders and asked if she was ready. His lips tugged into a teasing smirk as she reached out to nudge his scruff and he felt his skin tingle at her touch, almost like it was on fire. His tail gave a gentle wag as she told him that he should know she was ready for anything, especially with him as her guide and his smirk became a full on grin now, his eyes gleaming.

"Well, I guess that answer is clear enough then. You are truly ready for anything with me as your guide. You can't go wrong."

He chuckled, hoping she would see the playful look in his eyes. His attention only wavered when he picked up on none other than Zelda's scent coming toward them. His ears pricked and he smiled at Talien.

"You get the best welcome of them all, too. You should feel special. Here comes the young queen, herself."

Of course he didn't see fit to tell her that they were related. He would let that be a surprise, a surprsie that Zelda would apparently tell when seh called out to him by his title as her uncle. He chuckled despite himself, shaking out his coat as he gave Talien a small smirk. He smiled as Zelda touched his cheek before looking at their rabbit then at Talien. He would let Talien answer for herself who she was, knowing that some females could get offended that a male would answer for them. Instead he gave Zelda a big grin and wagged his tail.

"And you, the picture of health and beauty as always, Zelda. I've just gotten a good kill, good enough for a snack, anyway. The run was well enough to put a little color in my cheeks, I guess."

He nudged his shoulder into Talien gently, giving her free rein to ask whatever questions she may have about Taviora or Zelda herself. Surely she didn't expect to get an audience with the alpha herself. The perks of being with a guy like him.
