Her dual colored eyes bounced between the two and she found herself enjoying the attention she was being given. "Hello Ryo." A giggle and she clasped her hands behind her back and rocked on her heels as she focused on Dagan again. "Nice to meet you." Obviously mimicked from the older boy and she gave a smile again, then looked over her shoulder to the others in the room. "Nice to meet you." Repeat.
"Well looks like she'll be making sentences in no time."

Cymarron looked up fomr the cupboard, slurping up the last nits of a sausage link, and moved back over to the child, plopping down and sniffing at her again.
"Will this one be taught to Hunt? Cymarron has much experience in Hunting..coudl teach. or at least make sure this little one is not Prey to another Hunter."
His gaze turned to Bastet, yawning lightly and licking his jowl.
"Bastet is closest to Cymarron's ways...what does Bastet think of this little one learning to Hunt?"

Ecara turned a look up to Aurahkah. "Mommy?Hunt? " Her attention was grabbed by Cymarron's approach and just as she was sniffed by him, she sniffed him herself, little wolfish ears twitching. "Cymarron."
"I'm still uncertain what exactly to teach her Cymarron...considering she'll never grow older than she is now. Physically anyway."

"The Hunt is everything...nothing is more sweet than a good Hunt, little one. Cymarron understands the den mother's action. but one should always know to Hunt. for ones own defense in some cases. yes, the Hunt can teach much."
He purred a deep, rumbling purr while he looked over Aura's 'child'. his ears swiveled hearing only what those ears could hear, the voices as much in his head as anywhere else.
"the ancestors think the little one may make a good spiritwalker. this does not require much physical training as the Hunt..but would be interesting path for the young one Cymarron thinks."

"Spirit walker?" She could repeat the words, but they made little to no sense to her. And her attention was quickly drawn away from the work as she focused in on Cymarron's purring, making her break out into a grin.
"Spirit walker? Apparently you see a lot of potential in her. But I don't know exactly what she can do yet, I'm still reading up on her." Aura left it at that, she didn't really want to say what Ecara's true calling was, it was still too fresh in her head.

He sniffed the air, giving aura a look of 'you know something you don't want to say' before returning his attention to the child. he cocked his head to the side, and with a slight grin, or it's feline face equivelent, extended a single claw and little tickled a place on her tummy, very similar to the place on Eclipse that would make his leg kick.
"spirit walkers as Cymarron knows them are what others call...shaman? they are masters of the animal spirits, they commune to the Ancestors and ask thier blessings..and wrath. Cymarron nows much of spirit walking, but Beastlords are not trained to the full path. it is not our way. we walk a close path, but not the same path as the spirit walkers."

A fanged grin and high pitched giggle was his reward, her ears dropping back and her tail taking to wagging at a fast fast. Tiny hands grabbed hold of the single law in effort to stop it's playful actions.
"Sounds useful. Never know when any of that might come in handy." And I think it good that you don't specialize in one but dabble in two. Better to have broad experience than narrow.

"Cymarron can teach some. maybe if one of the Ancestors wish Cymarron might let thier knowledge pass through him as well. But Cymarron would not do anything the den mother woudl not wish done with her offspring."
He tried very carefully to twitch his claw, not wating her to cut herself on the serrated edge of his claws before he stopped tickling, giving another of his big feline yawns. Little ones were always special to him, as they were not only innocent of anything, but they were fearless.

Ecara gave Cymarron an rather large mini fanged grin before releasing his claw and running back over to Aura, latching herself to her mother's leg. "Cymarron kitty."
She reached a hand down, patting the child on the head. "Close enough."
Eclipse gave a snort and looked to Cymarron then to Ecara. "You're a brave little one aren't you. You get that from me."
"Stop flattering yourself."

He gave his growling chuckle and stretched, a rippling of muscle under fur, gave Eclipse and amused look.
"Cymarron enjoys the little ones of his pack, or the pack who's territory Cymarron is in. other youngs ones...that is a different story. but Cymarrron does not hunt the little ones. they are not big enough for Hunting. But, if the little one really is fearless, perhaps there is a place on Eclipse Cymarron can show her?"

Niah shot out of bed and groaned. Her head felt like it was splitting in two. She heard a crying sound echoed in her head. She stood up and through instinct alone began to try and find the sound. The noise led her outside into the forest. She blinked as she continued to feel the deep abiding fear. It was worse than anything Niah had come across...ever. She hurried into the woods adn called out. "Hello? Is anyone out here?" She wandered further into the dense forest and looked around. The fear grew worse and more intense and she was knocked to her knees. "Where the hell are you...?" She heard a sniffle and looked around. Moving slowly she came upon a small lump of leaves and dirt. She had no idea how she knew but the noise was coming from there. Shaking her head in disbelief she reached down and began to dig.

Eclipse gave another snort. "You and this Hunting you speak of. It's all you ever speak of now that I think about it." He shook his head, and then shook out his fur and feathers stopping when tiny hands laid themselves on his muzzle and then Ecara nuzzled her cheek against his.
"Daddy."
Aura crossed her arms and looked once again to Cymarron. "I don't think she needs to be exposed to any of that just yet. She's still far too young."

He gave a rather hurt look to Eclipse, his ears lowering some.
"It's all Cymarron ever knew. No family. the Old one was killed after Cymarron's training was done, and others Cymarron may have enjoyed the company off were pitted agasint him in the Arena and later in the Laybrinth. they were Cymarron's only source of food. Cymarron apologizes for Cymarron's lack of knowledge to other subjects to speak about."

A swift hit to the ears. "Leave him be. Like I told you Cymarron, don't mind him...he's critical." Shaking her head softly and giving him a smile she leaned back against the table on her hands. "Ears and chin up Cymarron. He's just being a bully."
"Bully?" She blinked dual colored eyes and looked at Eclipse. "Daddy bully?" Her expression held a hint of confusion, not being able to grasp the two terms together.
"Look, you're making the kid think bad about me. No Ecara, I'm not a bully. I'm just opinionated."
"Op-p-in-iat-ed....blah..."

She flung aside dirt and leaves until she had uncovered what appeared to be a small hole. She debated over whether or not to reach in. She had learned long ago that if you dind't want your hand bitten you kept it out of small, dark holes. But an instant quiet after a loud sniffle changed her mind. She reached in slowly and found she could not feel anything. So she formed a ball of fire and peered in. The hole was deep enough for her to slip in and it appeared to be empty. She slipped in and hit the ground with a rather loud thud. "Ouch. Damn..." she muttered. Second time she had fallen flat on her a** in a couple of days. She got on her hands and knees and looked into what was a tunnel. "That's odd..." She crawled through the tunnel and found that it opened into an underground cave.
The cave was not very large but the hole was deep enough for her to stand without hitting her head. She heard a small cough and looked around wishing she could see better in the dark.
"Mama? Is that you?" a small voice called out.
Niah instantly hurried towards the sound and found a small figure hunched over in one corner. She leaned down and said "I don't know where your mother is but I'm here to help."
"I...Mama..." Fear was evident in the little voice and the small figure began to shake.
Niah lifted the small child into her arms and sighed when the body tightened. She began to rock and sing to the child.
The child gradually calmed and said "Do you know Mama?"
"I don't think so." Niah wanted to get the kid out of there. She stood up and smiled as the child clung to her. She found her way, not easily, back through the tunnel and out into the forest. Then she turned and looked at the little boy.
