"Husky, wake up." Senri whispered to the slumbering boy. "Hnn," Husky moaned as he rolled over to bury his face in to Senri's muscular chest. Senri chuckled and sat up disturbing Husky's sleep. "Honestly Husky you should have been up twenty minutes ago," Nana huffed as she put some eggs on plates for the two boys. Cooro was surprisingly washing some pans and humming to himself as the others ate.
Kicking some dirt over the ashen ground that their fire had been burning so alive on, Senri made sure it was all out. The other three were walking ahead of him to see if they could find a path so that they wouldn't keep catching their clothes on the branches of bushes in the thick forest. Cooro flew up over the tops of the trees searching for a path. He finally returned two hours later to a dumb founded Senri and bickering Nana and Husky. "Like it's my fault Cooro's gone this long!" Husky yelled at Nana who in turn blew up in his face. "Then why didn't you tell him to stay here!" Cooro scratched the back of his head guiltily thinking of the apple tree he'd been in for the past hour and a half. "Hey, umm, guys? I found a path," Cooro risked telling the two brooding friends. Husky sighed and turned away from Nana, "Where is it?" Cooro pointed off to the north of them and followed Husky as he practically plowed through the underbrush.
Senri walked close to Husky behind Nana and Cooro, he knew Husky was still upset about this morning and thought he'd try to cheer him up with one of his rare conversations. "Husky," he started out. "Are you alright?" Husky looked up at him with a smile, "Yeah I'm alright." Sighing Husky looked in to the bleed sky and watched as the sun set. "It's beautiful, the sky" Senri looked down and smiled big. "Yes it is beautiful, like you," Husky blushed till his cheeks were as red as the setting sun. "I'm not beautiful in the least. Nana is beautiful not me." Husky teetered for a moment as the group stopped to rest a moment. "Are you okay Husky?" Senri placed a hand on Husky's forehead and was surprised to find him burning up. "I'm alright okay? I'll be fine," Husky smothered a cough in to his elbow and adverted his gaze from Senri's piercing one.
When everyone was settled in their small camp sight Husky went off to the pond to go catch some fish for dinner. Stripping his boots and jacket Husky jumped in to the cool water relishing it as it cooled his body off. Feeling his +anima kick in Husky flicked his beautiful tail and went in search of fish.
Senri followed Husky to the pond with some towels and a snack to eat. Smiling as he watched Husky jump out of the water following fish Senri thought of how mythical he looked. Husky trudged over to Senri with his string of fish. Plopping down next to the bear +anima Husky wrapped himself in the towels sniffling and sneezing. Senri put his hand back on Husky's forehead and shook his head. "You're sick Husky," Husky nodded and bundled himself up more in the towels. Grabbing the pear he'd brought for Husky and the fish Senri helped the younger boy up and back to the camp.
