He was delighted to hear that some of the deer was to be shared with him; he had been trying to practice his hunting but he felt that it was something that Nayru would always do better than him. That was OK with him, as he was a skilled fisherman, that she could do something better than he could. He just wasn't a naturally born hunter. Gideon enjoyed using human tools too much to be naturally born to hunt. When he wasn't using a bow and arrow to shoot birds down out of the trees he was using his slingshot or some sort of a trap. He caught them in his own way, he supposed, and that was what mattered. Still...that she could bring down a deer alone was impressive. It just brought more to her in his mind, more on the "pro" side.
Lately he had been thinking about the pros and cons to moving nearer to Nayru...or...the eastern side, whichever reason it was. He would be nearer to her and could watch over her like he wanted to, and she had said that he wouldn't be a nuisance. It would do Dahlia good to have another scout on that side to watch out for trouble that came from that end of the territory, as well. On the con side, though, was moving the pups to a part of the territory that they weren't as familiar with. His siblings were beginning to move out of the mansion, but he had the pups with him, which complicated things. He had stayed back with them so far, but as they grew and got older he would be able to be more mobile, perhaps.
"You're an amazing hunter, Nayru." He took a piece of meat for himself, eating it delicately so that he could talk without having to do so around a muzzle full of food. "Uhhh. Spring time!" When the snow would start to melt was when he was born, he remembered his mother having told him. "Four birthdays all at once for me, though, with all my siblings running around" He said, grinning. He considered Nayru a part of the family, so she was automatically invited to family get-togethers and meetings. Gideon had more to talk to her about, mostly about the dark wolf and his travels to other packs in search of her, but he would bring that up a little later.
Saluce commented on the fact that he was back on four legs and the dark male's ears went back slightly before twitching back into place. It was a bit of a sore subject to him, that he had been unable to shift back, and he hadn't exactly wanted Nayru to know about it yet, if at all. "Thanks." That was all he'd say on the matter, and just hope that Nayru didn't ask anything about it. He could have said that he just preferred that form, if he hadn't already told Saluce that he had been stuck in it. "So...any big news with either of you two so far this winter?" He didn't want to awkward-it-up and mention Layla, who had moved into his portion of the house, and wouldn't ask about it outright. Saluce could choose whether he wanted to say anything about that or not.
