Moonstone Quarry BWP: TSS A hunting we will go

Aiolos had always been the quiet leader. The quiet father. Where Kukutux radiated welcoming and warmth, Aiolos was ever watchful, carefully guarding his mate and the children they had together. Much of it stemed down to the fact he had never thought to have these things- mate, pups, rank, family. At times, he was so delicate if only because they were so special to him. 

With Ajei now, he was delicate, even though she were not his own. His agressive, self-loathing and pity-party attitude long ago having simmered away. 

Aiolos nods, Well, yes. He answered, settling down into a lay next to her as he watched the herd. There always has to be balance. Everyone lives and everyone must die. He gestures to the herd. If we did not kill them, not only would we go hungry, but they would eat too much themselves, making little food for other animals that eat what they eat. There would be too many. It is hard but it is fullfilling. Mentally and well, for their stomachs too.
