Eventually the pup, Juju, had caught up to his mother only to loose the rabbit he had been so desperately dragging. Watching the pup wiggle and attempt to retrieve the rabbit humoured Key, for no apparent reason he found the situation the pup was in simply hilarious. The more he saw of the small one the more he liked the pup, Juju intrigued him. But his humour was short lived; the female sent the small one away to locate others. Suspicions of a trap reared themselves back up and Key sharpened his senses, preparing himself for an attack. Yet, despite his strong belief that logically, this ‘Selene’ was a threat, he could not see her as one. Such irrational thoughts irritated him, he should not be thrown off by the kindness she had shown, she was a potential threat until proven otherwise. He could feel his eyebrows draw together in a frown, what was he to believe?

In silence he watched as the pup disappeared into the caves, taking his time to turn back to Selene. When he eventually turned to the female again something was clearly different, the smile she showed was no longer filled with kindness but forced, stiff. Alaki watched as Selene busied herself with cleaning the rabbit she had stolen from the small one and listened to her speak in her calming voice once again. She spoke of the pack’s joining, how they shared blood and by sharing blood they became family, this seemed practical and logical to Key. Having little to no experience with packs Key accepted her words as if they spoke for all packs. A slight, tense smile fell upon his lips, unsure whether to be weary or relaxed around Selene. “Yes, if you would have me” he responds, dipping his head slightly and relaxing his posture as best he could. A family . . .

Taking in his surroundings once again calmed him further. He knew that even if this was a trap he would be okay, but as an extra precaution he kept his senses sharp and stayed attentive of the area as he sat and listened to Selene speak of the family’s ways.

Much of what she spoke of was new to Key, but what interested him the most was the caves. Alaki liked caves a great deal; caves were great for ambushes, traps, pranks, isolation and disposing of things, they are hidden away with multiple entrances and go deep underground. In many caves it was easy to loose your way and even easier to loose others in, each cave was unique, it’s paths connecting to each other in illogical patterns, sometimes a cave has a repetitive pattern which then twists into a random string of small ‘rooms’ and pathways. Caves were safe, familiar, something Key understood and had experience with.
