The little creature perished with a sickening crunch of the tawny coy-mix's jaws, effortlessly pulling it upwards from the ground and off to the woods as the beast trotted away. The unfortunate vole would provide a hearty lunch later for his son and himself. His orange eyes didn't fail to catch every lingering sight, on four paws the lupus-formed hybrid felt freer, like he had a faint connection to his ancestors decades and decades ago. As his form silently slipped into the canopy of the trees, the tawny-furred canine lay down, dropping the rodent at his feet. Just the previous day the lone coyote had set up a camp to sleep, keeping his most cherished belongings with him. Just a couple feet away lay his precious instrument, the six-string guitar he had received from Leticia from what seemed like ages ago. He couldn't leave it behind, the idea was simply unspeakable. Standing and stretching, the Lykoi took some time to shift. Eyes closing and body relaxing, the lithe hybrid focused on his form of choice, pointedly ignoring the strange transformation and sounds of bones popping and rearranging themselves. It was simple, but strange in a way. What powers did the Luperci possess to be able to change form so easily? He had never seen a bear take another form, or a bird with that said. Nature had its ways however, and it seemed that this certain mystery would remain unsolved for time to come. After he accomplished that, he was sitting on the ground bare with two legs. Jacinto flexed his hands, opening and closing his palms. On the fur blanket, the sleek form of the younger coyote boy stretched out. A yawn came from his smaller maw. "Dad? What'd ya get?" Sina asked quietly, his intact ear flattening against his little skull. Jacinto shook his head and held out the vole, shrugging as if to say "it's small, but'll do." "You take the first ration, son." Jacinto say back, arms looping around his knees. It had been difficult to explain to the boy, to try and tell him the situation. But Sina had taken it rather well, a little disappointed that they had to leave. But other than that, all seemed well. Jacinto often thought about Omni, how hurt she had seemed when he had told he of his leaving. And taking Sina...What did he manage to leave her with?

Shaking his head, he watched politely as Sina tore away at the little rodent, leaving enough meat for the hungry coyote man after he had his share. From the traveling, the Lykoi man's legs often felt like tendrils of fire were crawling slowly up his limbs, but as much distance as they managed to cover, it seemed like enough. The fire he had started earlier was crackling to silence, losing its fuel and dying slowly. The pair had managed with it for a night of keeping warm, but it was known that it wouldn't last long. The russet hybrid kicked the soil and rocks over the flames, extinguishing the weak blaze as Sina finished his share. He picked the mangled rodent up in careful fingers, slowly picking away the meat and popping the pieces in his mouth, chewing quickly with his sharp teeth. The spaniard ate quickly, leaving almost nothing on the bones but the loose disgusting skin. "We better go." Sinatrai nodded, grumbling softly about the labor required to walk any longer. Jacinto had cracked at the last minute, right before he had left to gather Sina. And it had been a good choice indeed. An arm reached up over his head to grasp the pair of black jeans, pulling them on and retrieving the hunting bow and guitar. He had what they needed, it would work just perfectly.

They managed to walk far for a while, Cinto remembering the details he had been given from the hybrid-woman, and the mother of his children. The ruddy man had to get to AniWaya. This was just too important to miss. There seemed to be nothing but trees, seeming to be an endless trail of green and brown. Right now here musician really, really wished for some actual color. He could easily admit he missed Omni. But there had been some times when she had come back, failing to disguise the scent of other men on her, especially that time after she had been in heat. Jacinto Lykoi had a reason to distance himself. A valid testimony to add in, she had likely cheated more than he had.

For what seemed like hours, the two coyote males trekked on. Over hills and flatlands, with their legs burning. At almost the point of collapsing, the breathless hybrids neared what smelled like other canines. There was prominent borders, and the spark of hope re-arrived in the Lykoi's heart. Sinatrai wasn't doing so good though, his head hung low with his tail, and his legs looked on the verge of giving out under him. Being an empathetic creature, the tattooed man pulled the young child into his arms."Sinatrai, I think this is it. Io will give us a nice place to sleep, and it'll be all over. Don't you worry." The tired child placed his little head on the older man's shoulder, snuggling into his lithe body. He said nothing in reply, just flopped his tail softly against Jacinto's arm. Heart pounding in his chest, the coyote lifted his thin muzzle to the sky and called, hopefully to one of the Tribe.

So, he did end up bringing his kid. Felt it was a little weird to leave an NPC with an NPC >.<
