Jacinto found himself nodding as the small woman said he could stay, the water was wonderfully warm and comforting. Right after all that chaos! As his aching body was lowered into the pools, Jacinto couldn't help the happy sigh that slipped past his muzzle. Once sitting comfortable, the Lykoi man glanced over to the Pygmy woman, content to have some form of chatter. "So...Zana, where've you been? I know you've been gone, but if I may pry: where?" During that time, his brother had ambled and wandered like a ghost in search of its soul, he could understand that. Jacinto knew nothing of why the small woman had vanished, the details never reaching his large chocolate ears. A hand moved from to gently scratch at his fairly fresh tattoo, the newer one from Omni.
The hybrid let the water bubble around his form, almost closing his eyes in the relaxed ecstasy of the gentle waters. He had not seen hide or hair of his eldest brother Columbine for a while. In a way, that was good. He could go live under his rock. There had been a cold pit settling in the Lykoi's heart after the threats uttered towards Omni. Who would threaten a lady of such charm and intelligence? Claim that his choice of lover was extremely promiscuous, was Col jealous? Cinto never wanted to be prideful or conceited about his lover, use her as a front for status and pride. But he could see her charm and beauty, not everyone could resist.
It was a matter of days before the birth, a few maybe at most. What terrified him to tears was the fact that Omni or the pups may not live past that point, yet was expected to be excited and joyous for that day. Omni was one of the clan, mated to a Lykoi. He had persuaded her about changing her name to his own, but always she refused telling him that the clan wouldn't appreciate tacking on the name to a non-Lykoi. Jacinto cut his thoughts short as he remembered his company, glancing out at the tiny hybrid speaking once more. "Were you alright?" The safety of this small woman seemed to be of importance to the ginger hybrid all of a sudden, although violence seemed to never be the answer in this case, or any other.
