Table & Coding © Nuki; Prompt: Smear your character with some scent-concealing plants and have them visit up on a foreign pack -- check how their preparations are for winter, and evaluate their stores for the coming months. You may want to butter up this potential pack with a small gift, presented under the guise of helping them to prepare; So allow for Janos to post first and then whomever decides to join just be aware that I want to try and get 6 posts from each involved party within this month if possible, then after those 6 posts each I'm not too concerned how long it takes to actually finish up the thread. Also length needn't be matched since it was mostly set up stuff and really only the last couple of paragraphs are relevant; 1035 words

Bastion had been told of an alliance in the making. Or perhaps it wasn't exactly in the making but it was one that wanted to be made in the very least. So that being combined with the charge to spy on another pack had prompted Bastion to get his puppy to go hunt for a present. A small gift had been recommended for the trip and so why not bring a moose over to them? The herd was migrating and so it would make for a treat for the pack he was to head to. Sure, others might not see the gift as a small one but in Bastion's opinion it certainly was. The only good part of the animal, at least in his mind since there was only a single good part to any animal to the small male, was the blood. He didn't care for the flesh of the large animal. Then again he wish he didn't have to consume flesh at all. He would have been so happy and thrilled if he could survive on blood alone. Unfortunately that just wasn't the case no matter how Bastion might wish it to be.

So learning both of these tidbits of information, as well as the generalized location of where to visit, he had made the preparations to head. Enigma was to be left in the care of Eris since the pup couldn't be brought along on a business venture. Besides Bastion couldn't predict how anything would pan out and he didn't wish to possibly lose the pup that Janos had so desperately wanted. It would be a rare time being spent away from the pp since he had first been brought Enigma. It was so strange how the child had changed him and forced him into showing concern for a being other than himself. Enigma had brought forth a number of feelings and emotions that Bastion had never knew that he had.

After making sure that Janos was off to get a gift, as well as knowing where to meet up with it, and Enigma was to be looked after did Bastion finally work on getting himself prepared to go out. As per usual he had picked a few flowers and had bathed in the scented water. It was just procedure to cover the scent of Salsola with that of nature instead. Of course with his feminine appearance he couldn't do a more woodsy scent so that limited him to what he could use that would compliment his appearance. He relied on his appearance in order to put others off guard. He couldn't use a scent that would have others realizing that he could pose some trouble. No, he rather liked being thought of as an unintelligent child so that they would never suspect him which gave him an advantage he wouldn't have otherwise.

After his bath was taken care of Bastion had to pull on a pair of panties to that his mark would be hidden away. So with his normal routine taken care of Bastion left behind the comforting confines of Salsola. As he left behind his child and home his mind was already trying to work through all of the possible situations to come. He wasn't certain what sort of reaction his appearance would get. He doubted it would be aggression since well he simply wasn't used to that at all. And even if that was the case he would have his puppy with him to protect him. But how would that work out since they were there to place nice? At least he didn't have to worry about Janos acting out. He knew that the larger and older male wouldn't do anything that wasn't a command from Bastion. So no, if they had trouble then Bastion would have to figure out how to resolve it without resorting to violent means.

Bastion made the trek from Salsola with the destination of Inferni's borders on his mind. Along the way he was to be intercepted by Janos. So when he finally saw his puppy returning with such a prized find he was pleased. It didn't matter that it wasn't a seasoned adult because the yearling was quite large. Basti clapped his hands gleefully at the sight of it. Janos had made it in time enough to approach the skull lined borders with him. That was really what Bastion had hoped would happen since he didn't want to stand around and wait for the gift to arrive. So his time management had actually worked out nicely this time.

"Down." The childish boy commanded simply and waited for Janos to drop the moose for him. Once the creature was placed on the ground Bastion took hold of one of the antlers and started tugging on it, trying to move the carcass without success. Janos had been carrying it with such ease that the dead body didn't appear heavy at all. Bastion frowned as continued to tug on the antler only to end up toppling over backwards as the already brittle antler broke off in his hands. Landing on his back ended up having Bastion forgetting all about the moose as he noticed something else instead.

The boy released the antler and quickly got up from the ground. He turned his back to both the moose and Janos as he made his way directly for the border. The fresh skull, that still had traces of blood upon it, was plucked down from its pike so that Bastion could lick it clean. Just the slight presence of blood had distracted him and left it in Janos's hands to drag the body closer and to alert the inhabitants of the staked off land that they had visitors at their borders. It was such a simple task for his puppy to end up howling and clearly it was a decision that Janos could end up making for himself. After all Bastion had made certain that Janos knew of both parts of their mission so Janos knew they had to make a good impression no matter that Bastion had managed to distract himself. He couldn't help it though, blood was his addiction and simply had to have it.
