ooc;; sooo sorry for the hold up erin! <333

Limbs stretched out and sprang back in quick succession as the young man pumped his muscles harder and harder. His back arched in a perfect curve each time, head straight and unwavering from its course. The raw determination in the young Jager's green eyes was something feral and raw, an emotion not often displayed on the gentle Stormbringer's face. Saul was only doing his job, only doing his duty for his pack. But the raw passion in his eyes told of a deeper need to hunt the rabbit that was doing such a good job of evading him. It was too late in the year for groundhogs and squirrels to be hunted and the rabbits seemed to be the only ones brave enough to come foraging in well known wolf land. They were a little dim in this respect, it must be said. He was nowhere near tired and his morning runs he had to thanks for this.

A few days ago they had started building his house and the young man was excited about having his own space to do as he pleased in. He planned on building a small stable area and a paddock close to his house in the near future- Liliana had successfully shown in the basics of riding and he knew he wanted to know more about it. He really should go and visit her in AniWaya, thank her for helping him and give her the small horse shaped wooden bracelet he had made. Aunt Bris had taught him a few basic skills in jewelery making and Shawchert's gift of wood carving had been the shining light in his gift for the horsey woman. All thoughts of the bracelet and riding were wiped from his mind as one lunge forward and the rabbit's squeal was cut short.

The young hunter was sorely tempted to parade the rabbit around but he knew that there were hungry mouths back in the old Victorian house he still lived in. Eclipse had moved onto solid food and Melee and Ranger were steady on meat. Although they should now be learning to hunt themselves, Saul knew that Gideon was not a confident ground hunter- his recent bust up with Saluce and the failure at Hibernal had really knocked his younger brothers confidence. Perhaps the black boy would allow Saul to take the young children out and tempt them into stalking a few grasshoppers and the like when spring came around. His flight home was short and quick- the rabbit having been caught in the infested town of Berwick not too far away.

Saul let himself in the back door and raced up the stairs. A knock on Bris's door was recieved with an excited squeal from inside and Saul knew his newest cousin was pleased to have visitors. Letting himself in, Saul played with Eclipse for a few moments, giving Bris the rabbit as a present for the two of them before those keen cinnamon ears heard a knock at the door. Confused he gave his cousin a quick kiss on the head before backing out and closing the oor behind him. Shifting easily into his optime form Saul thundered down the stairs and into the hallway. It smelt like Tsukiko on the other side of the door, but the only time he had seen the woman outside her own home was at the pack game he had hosted a few weeks back. Confusion was the dominant feature playing on his face as he opened the door and found Tsuki with a complete stranger.

"Tsukiko? Whats wrong? Are you okay?"

Worry and concern for the lady came flooding through his his as those usually friendly green eyes eyed the man over the pale womans shoulder. Who the hell was this and why was he in Dahlian territory. And why was he so close to the home that housed at least half of the puppies in Dahlia. Wary and alert, Saul listened for Tsukiko's response while keeping an eye on that stranger. No funny business would be tolerated, even from the calm and gentle one.
