The instant Kai had turned away from the bloody scene and it had left his field of vision, he had lost all interest in the animal. It had served its purpose and so he would leave the remains for the scavengers. Heading off in search of some source of water to clean himself up in, he caught the scent of other rabbits nearby, though was sure they would all be cowering in their warren. Kai didn't blame them, not after the fate that had befallen two of their kin. He retraced his steps and eventually came across the other rabbit he had attacked, still lying where he had left it at the foot of a tree trunk, its small chest fluttering as it paniced. Picking up the animal, he gave it a look over - he couldn't see any obvious injury. Perhaps he would keep this one for further research. It was still alive but wasn't capable of much movement.

Carrying the rabbit, Malakai walked through the forest, looking for signs of water, before eventually coming across a small stream. Perfect. Laying the animal down, feeling it shake and tremble as his breaths raced, Kai bent over the water and dipped his hands into the cool, refreshing water. He then continued to splash water up his forearms, rubbing his fur with it, before splashing his face, washing the blood and dirt from his form. Squating, balancing on the pads of his feet, he had no idea that there was anyone else in the area. Gazing down into the babbling brooke, the sound was relaxing. Moments ago, he had pulled apart a rabbit and now, he was sat by the side of a stream, reflecting on life, though he was sat next to a second bunny, paralysed.

However, the calmness that the forest had once more settled into was quickly broken as Kai heard a twang noise, followed by a whoosh and then a deep thump not far from his head. Instantly, his body crouched, ducking for cover before he lifted his head to see the arrow vibrating where it had buried its tip into a nearby tree. Snorting angrily, Kai turned his head to find the culprit and to his surprise, they marched right towards him. And it wasn't at all who he had expected to see. The female with the cat.

Once he took in the sight of her as she pulled the arrow from the tree, he let out a growl, though it was more for show that in actual aggression. He replied to her question about the rabbit, quikly lettning his familiar dark smirk ripple over his jaws. "Yeah. Research." Not the most descriptive of answers, but it would invite the female to volly back the conversation, making her make the effort. Another example of the power he liked to exercise over others. However, as he turned his head to lock eyes with her, and he heard the females apology, he saw the sincerity in it. She hadn't apologised because she felt she had to, but because she had wanted to, something Kai wasn't entirely used to. And it threw him for a few seconds. The arrogance, the smugness, the darkness in his faded for that instant and he offered her a nod in return. "I should be thankful that you're an awful shot. The darkness in his returned quickly, as he jerked his head towards the second bunny, its breaths rapid as it lay next to him. "This one is for research, too."
