Well, the hunt had been successful, and that fact had put Helotes in a fantastic mood. He had gone out mid-morning to find some grub for him and his family; it seemed as if Chico and Zuzu had bottomless pits for bellies, but Zana was not complaining, especially now that her teats had fully recovered from teething mouths.
So, the Lykoi male had gone out towards the Hallows, choosing any random direction really, and took his time to catch whatever he could. Now, it was nearly past morning, and he had three fat hares strung up and slung behind his back. It had been a good while since he had such ease in the kill and it was giving his ego quite a boost; he and his family would eat well today, and perhaps with full bellies his kids would fall asleep, and he and Zana could…
Suddenly though, something about the scenery of this place sparked a memory. He paused in his path back to the mansion to take a good look around. Why was this place so damn familiar? Sure, he had gotten used to most of Inferni’s territory, but something about the trees here… it reminded him of a time before he and Zana were together.
It took the Lykoi male several minutes of pacing and sniffing around to finally remember; ah yes, he had come here a while ago to hide something very special. In fact, he remembered the exact place, and moving aside a rather large stone, Helotes began to move away the soft earth to reveal a large glass flask full of a cinnamon colored liquid. He removed the flask from its grave and brushed any debris from it, and then lifted it to let the sun filter through the liquid; it was clean.
The man grinned; his day was just getting better and better. Placing the flask under his arm, he pushed the dirt he had displaced back into the hole and then headed merrily on his way. He would have made it all the way home too if his friend’s scent hadn’t come to his nose. Perhaps he should just say hi, since he was in such a great mood.
It did not take much time to find Vesper, though he was somewhat surprised to see her in Optime and up a tree; it reminded him of Zana. He walked up to the trunk of the tree and leaned against it cockily, looking up at her lithe form, Well hello there pretty lady. He knew she’d hate that.
