One ear dropped back as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Sure you could...till I pull my shadow powers out. Then you won't be getting a hold on me what so ever." Giving a swish of his tail he returned his attention to Ecara who was now messing with his own wings, playing with his long feathers.
"By Ra Niah. Must you feed everything around you cheese cake?"

"not everything. Cymarron doesn't like such things as cheesecake."
He nodded, turning his attention back on Eclipse, giving him the predatory once over. the hunter's mind kicked him, analyzing, seeking.
"Eclipse's feathered wings will slow him down in a human run. your human flesh is weaker than Cymarron's brute strength. your hearing may be the same, but the position of your ears will make it harder to use them to thier full range. and if Cymarron is able to take a chunk out of eclispe before Eclispe gets away, Cymarron could follow him anywhere."
He gave a fanged grin, hoping that Eclipse might be impressed with his assessment of a real hunting. or at least notice that Cymarron knew his stuff.

He had one word for Cymarron. "Shadow walk." A snort through his nose and he rotated his ears a little to catch onto piece of what Ecara was busy naming and the like. Then they focused back on Cymarron. "You sound like a good hunter...certainaly wouldn't' want you after me. But like I said, shadow walk."

"shadow walk. is this the trick like Cymarron had when he tasted your blood, that let you move through things like doors and walls and earth?"
He was curious as to what that was. mystical powers always fascinated him, though try as he might he coudl never use them other than the shamanistic spells he knew. not that he hadn't eaten several wizards, necromancers or magicians to try and gain thier unique spells. he'd been rather disappointed when he recited spells for conjuring up the dead, or elemental servants and found they didn't work. and he couldn't throw fire or lighting from his claw tips.
"Cymarron would learn these things if Cymarron could. Eclipse and Aura's gifts are the first spirits that assisted Cymarron other than the ancestors and the totems. the spirits that make pets out of elements or dead things refused to assist Cymarron when he said the words to get them to."

Tyler looked at Cara as she wiggled her wings. "Do you have wings Miss Niah?"
"No." Niah shook her head. "You and I are not like them Tyler. They're different. Like Cymarron."
"Mr. Cynammon is different too."
"Yes." He's not a human like we are. "They have different ears than you do." She pointed to his.
Tyler nodded. He moved his hands up to cover his own ears and grinned. He brought them down and picked up his fork adn began to eat the rest of the cheesecake. When he had finished he lifted the plate adn said "Can I have more Miss Niah?"
Niah looked at him and shook her head. "No more Tyler. It's all gone."
Tyler looked at her and his bottom lip trembled. He said "Can I please have some more yummy?"
Niah said "No Tyler. No more cheesecake. Do you want something else to eat? I can make you some macaroni adn cheese."
Tyler looked at her his big blue eyes filling with tears. "I don't want 'roni adn cheese. I want more cheesecake. Now!" He rubbed at his eyes.
Niah sighed. Looked like someone needed a nap. "Tyler stop that. You can have some macaroni and cheese but no more cheesecake."
Tyler got off her lap and sat on the floor. Tears were coursing down his cheeks. He slammed his little fists onto the floor adn wailed "I want cheesecake! Now!"
Niah stood up and plunked her hands on her hips. She turned to Aura and said "Yes. I thought it would be a good alternative to the drink which is 99 percent sugar. But this time I'm paying for it." She looked at the little boy throwing a fit on the floor. "Tyler stop it now."
"No! I want cheesecake! I don't want 'roni and cheese. I want cheesecake!" he screamed.
Niah sighed and prayed for patience.

Aura looked at the enraged it seems little boy. Standing walked up to Tyler who was laying on the floor and looked at him, leaning down a little till she was in his ear and at his level. "Now now Tyler. No one ever got what they wanted by screaming and demanding that." She righted her posture and wagged a finger at him. "Tsk.Tsk.Tsk. Seems you've lost your manners young man. That won't do at all." Clear to anyone above the thinking of a five year old could see that she was in fact patronizing him as well as scolding him. Reaching to his shoulder s again she turned him to face her. "Is that how you act in other people's houses? I don't think so, it's rather rude."
Ecara was now staring at Tyler, one ear back as was her father's. Both wolf featured people stared at Tyler. But while Eclipse burst into laughter, she remained confused at what her mother was doing. Then got a little frustrated and started to tug on her downed ear in habitual fashion.
"You're bad Aurahkah..." He looked to Cymarron. "Yes. ANd you drank our blood. Gotta be careful about that, not only is my blood azure but pure dark energy as well."

"Cheesecake. bleh."
He made a face, and went to the fridge, getting something he'd put in there during his excavating of his den. it was meat, as one might expect, but it was a small heart, and a liver, as well as ribs.
"Cymarron found himself a badger when digging out his den. would Tyler like to try some of Cymarron's delectables?"
His claws tore off a peice of the heart, and offered the meat over to Tyler. Anything to him woudl be better than feeding someone cheesecake..how could they eat that stuff? He took a bite out of the liver, offering some to the rest as well.
"Meat is better than anything."

Tyler closed his mouth and stared at her. He buried his head in his hands and began to cry even more. "Badger?" He looked at Cymarron and sobbed.
Niah shook her head and picked him up. She held him and rubbed his back. "It's okay sagira. Are you still hungry?"
Tyler yawned and laid his head on her shoulder. He rubbed his eyes and started sucking his thumb. He shook his head.
Niah smiled and sat back down in the chair gently stroking his back. "I apologize for him Aura. He's just tired." She kept rubbing his back and waited.
Tyler slowly fell fast asleep.
Niah held the sleeping boy in her arms and sighed. "Well we survived the first temper tantrum. I guess that's something right?"

Aura looked to Cymarron and smiled. "I'm good thanks, don't eat too much these days...you know."
Eclipse held up a hand. "I'm good, I don't need to eat at all. Just like to." He grabbed Ecara by the tail as she seemed to make a run in Cymarron's direction. "No no Ecara, you don't want any of that, that's Cymarron's." A lie to placate the child, which he didn't want eating such things.
She then looked back over to Niah and Tyler. "It's okay. I had my fun."

His ears dropped only slightly. was he the only one that liked a good meal of raw meat? but then he shrugged, and ate the meat himself, savoring every little bite. although a sentient being's meat woudl be better tasting, animals had thier merits too.
"Did Aura think about what Cymarron thought of before? teaching her kit how to spirit walk..or teach the kit Cymarron's skills? if your kit is a...fighter for you?"
He didn't know exactly how to put it for when Aura seemed to say the child was some kind of weapon.
"Or is your kit like Eclipse and can use these...shadow spirits?"

She glared slightly. Aura knew he didn't mean it, but she couldn't help it. "She's not a fighter for me nor Eclipse...and no, she possesses no powers to call her own." A fist hit the table. So lost in her slight anger over the reference she neglected Cymarron original question. Aura knew she was over reacting but she couldn't seem to help it. She reached a hand out to Ecara. "Come on Ecara...let's go read."
Hearing the word read but not her mother's tone, indicating it only and excuse, she bounded to her mother, taking hold of her hand. And only waved at the room of people as she was lead out.
Eclipse sighed, ears dropping back and shook his head. "Forgive her Cymarron..." Giving a snort to his nose he addressed them all. "I'll go get her calmed down...she's just..." He let it trail off and in an energy shift was back to four legged and furry, promptly padding from the room after them both.
((Got stuff to do before the morning. Night guys.))

His head tilted at Aura's tone, and he had an utterly confused look. He hadn't ment anything by it..but he didn't know how else to refer to her situation as weapon if needed. he looked over at Nailah after the others left.
"Did Cymarron do something wrong?"

Tyler jumped and began to cry. He lifted his head and blinked once or twice.
Niah sighed and gently laid his head back down. She stroked his back again until he fell back asleep. She watched Aura leave and shook her head. "No. Eclipse is right Cymarron. Aura is just upset right now. She doesn't like anyone referring to Ecara as a weapon or anything other than a little girl. She hates to think she was forced to use her that way..." Niah trailed off. She looked at the big cat adn sighed. "She just overreacted. Please don't hold it against her." Niah sensed Aura and could feel frustration and anger. Niah shook her head again. "Thank you for trying to help with Tyler, Cymarron. And I do appreciate you letting him ply you with questions. There are times when I'm sure he gets very irritating. But he's so curious and he won't stop until the questions are answered." She absentmindedly shifted Tyler so he lay more comfortably in her arms.

He moved to Tyler, though he didn't touch him. He was still unsure if he was responsible for the situation the child was in, and woudl rather let the little one be oblivious to it then do anything that might trigger such a memory.
"Cymarron doesn't mind at all. not many question Cymarron about anything, most only have sought him out as either Prey, or a Hunter to be used. Cymarron's time as a kit was spent in pain, and misery. it is good to use his past to give someone else some amusement or joy."
He sat down by Nailah, idly tapping his claws on the table.
"Cymarron is...concerned about your kit. Cymarron does not know why your kit's mother has not come for him, and Cymarron does not want it to be Cymarron's fault."

Nailah watched him in fascination. He spoke of deep pain and the possibility of regretting actions. She nodded, "I can't say my childhood was unhappy but I have had my share of pain as well. I suppose that's why I took him in." She shook her head. It hurt to be so brutally honest with herself. "I'm afraid I'm using him for penance for past crimes and Ra knows I don't want to do that. He's such a sweet little boy." She paused and looked directly at Cymarron, "Honestly, I don't think she's ever coming back. I...think she's gone." She looked at Tyler to make sure he was asleep. "Something happened, something terrible. I don't know what and Tyler doesn't like to talk about it but I know something is going on." She had felt Tyler's fear more than once and remembered the nightmares that would keep him from sleep. She had held his shaking body and dried his tears more than once. Tilting her head she said "Why would it be your fault? You had nothing to do with his mother's disappearanc, right?"
