Luneshale Pass But I'm writing this at 3 a.m.

It wasn't long after their initial meeting when Kemal went looking for @Disa. A few days, maybe.

She had put bison in his head, and damn did he like the sound of that. He thought he had seen a herd a few weeks back, and so long as they could grab one or two more pack members to bring along he thought the risk was well worth it for a meal that would last as long as a bison carcass.

He had thought to invite Leto or Leandros along, but found that both were gone. Leandros was presumably back to his deliveries, and he recalled Leto announcing a trip a day or two back. Maybe he would ask @Safiya to come with him, then. Take the puppies along too if they were up for it - only to observe of course; they were old enough to help on hunts now, but a bison would be a bit too dangerous.

Safiya was asked to go on a hunt. Bison. She didn't know this beast, but she was willing to see how it went. So she arrived to look to the male Kemal. And then around, were they the only two on the hunt? 

A small smile reserved for any of the pups that came along, but she hoped they would stay out of the way. She would not have them harmed on her watch if she could help it. 

Small,petite but fierce she waited. Singular eye on the horizon.

A few days into her new desert life, Disa woke up restless. Her body had become accustomed to always being just a little on edge, and the effect of packmates and territory on a system tuned for solo survival was a sudden craving for drama. Nothing extreme – she would settle for a tango with something that could kill her, and the desert had a lot of that to offer.

Scorpions everywhere rejoiced when Kemal called her to the hunt instead. Bison. Saliva flooded Disa's mouth at the mere thought, and she left shining ropes of it on the hot ground, there and gone in seconds, as she ran toward the day's expedition.

He was standing with a female that she had recognized by scent only – a slim, red-brown creature that turned out to be missing an eye. She would not be taking point if Disa had anything to say about it.

"The herd west of here?" the desert newcomer asked. She had intended the question for Kemal, but the crater in Safiya's pretty face kept pulling her attention. She wondered if her fur had hidden the blood.

"Big." Said absently. She was staring now. "Ambitious."

Delos can be skipped! He's just here to observe and pop in every so often with oo's and awe's

Delos came skipping to the group, unaware of the going-ons until Kemal leaned down to tell him about the hunt. He was eager to follow along, rump wiggling with clear excitement. He had never followed a real hunt before.

Usually he would have asked his mother for permission, but she was away on a trip. Who was he supposed to ask then? Apollo, Soto, Safiya? Maybe he would go without permission just this once.

Safiya joined him first, Kemal offering a respectful nod. Disa was next, and he couldn't help but offer her a slight smile; she seemed eager for the hunt, and given this was his attempt at a welcome he was glad. The West. He confirmed.

Safiya, have you met Disa? He asked, nodding towards the initiate. I brought her from the borders. Part of him was quite proud of his first invitee attempt, Kemal just had to hope that Disa wouldn't do anything to displease Soto and make a fool of him.

Little Delos came to see what was going on, and Kemal obliged him after a moment of hesitation. He wasn't sure if the boy was dense or deaf, but whatever it was he didn't seem to be the best listener. Kemal had considered bringing it up to Leto or Soto, but frankly he wasn't looking to get up close with the mother's pearly whites. Preparing to move off to the West, he gently nudged the boy to the centre of himself and the pair of women. Best to keep him close for now.
