Ci'tde heard a roar after his followed by another he looked at Yoshiro questioningly. Yoshiro said, "Must be that carnivore whose claw marks we saw in the cave. He turned now that there was a break in the roar he could hear a scream of pain.
Ci'tde had heard it too it was definitely female they raced to the sound finding an entrance too small for either of them to fit into. The roar repeated now only this time it was moving closer and fast. They both turned just in time to see the huge cat-like creäture with large tusks. Yoshiro turned to Ci'tde saying, "We work together to kill this beast sharing the trophy so we can get the female."
Ci'tde nodded they needed to kill the beast Jamie wouldn't come out when it wasn't safe. He only hoped her cries of pain weren't anything serious. For now, he had to focus on the large animal headed their way. They flanked either side of the giant beast taking out their Ki'cti-pa each hitting it when an opening presented itself. Yoshiro threw his Chakt-ra at the beast barely catching the animal. Ci'tde moved a distance from the beast using his Bhrak-chei to target and then hit the beast. Yoshiro now ran to the beast sinking his Dah'kte into it all while trying to avoid the angry swipes for its paws. Ci'tde had been itching for the thrill of the Kv'var it's why he never became an Arbitrator there was way too much searching involved for his taste he preferred to battle. This beast was a worthy fight and whatever trophies they could agree upon he planned to offer Jamie when asking her to become his life mate. He looked forward to the first Kv'var of her pups and he wanted to be there to guide them. Yoshiro took out his Al'Nagara striking the beast in the chest. Ci'tde distracted the beast while Yoshiro struck again, this time, slicing the head clean off. Both males were breathing heavy and sweating from the battle Yoshiro used his wrist communicator to call the ship over to store the cargo. Once the cargo was stored he sent a message to the Matriarch that they had found Jame-e.
~ In Space ~
Matriarch Hera received the transmission and immediately passed it on to Matriarch Aaliya. Aaliya was the one who went to go collect Jamie and the Arbitrators ship. She notified Mahnde that they were on their way to get Jame-e and that she may need medical treatment. He notified Abhay of the developments before he started preparing for anything and everything. He wanted to be ready for any situation possible. Abhay had replied back to Mahnde telling him to inform him again when they were close to recovery he wanted to be a part of the greeting or boarding party.
~ With Jamie ~
She could hear her pup purring from her touch he was a handsome boy tan in color with white and brown speckling on his spots. His dreadlocks were brown like hers and his eyes were a brilliant golden color. She stopped touching him once the pain and urge to push returned now turning her attention to pushing out the next pup. She pushed and pushed working the pup out of her body slowly. Eventually, the pup came out and she tied the cord and rubbed the pup until it squealed. She counted fingers and toes before checking the sex of the child finding another male. They were the same size the second one had her gray eyes and skin tone. He also had black dreadlocks and white speckling. She already loved both boys they were already playing with each other. She was thrilled neither had an ooman face like her they looked as if they had been born from a Yautja bearer.
A loud noise caught her attention she was too tired to move but grabbed a nearby spear just in case she needed it. Within moments a male Yautja she didn't recognize came into view she growled her most fierce growl and hoped he'd think twice about trying anything. Yoshiro was surprised by the fierceness until he noticed the bed moving next to the female. He froze in place saying, "Ci'tde you better get in here she has delivered and is protecting her pups."
Ci'tde rushed in moving forward until she came into view he watched her instantly relax. He trilled at her saying, "I will give pups to Yoshiro to carry so I can carry you. We will take you home and have a healer look you three over."
Jamie dropped the spear allowing her pups to be taken unfortunately her pups didn't like the strange male touching them clawing and biting him repeatedly. Yoshiro eventually gave up and placed the pups in their bearer's arms only then did they calm down. Ci'tde wound up carrying all three of them not that he minded although watching the Arbitrator get attacked to the point of retreating from two pups was entertaining. It was good to see such fierce male pups ready to defend themselves from any unknown male. Ci'tde carried her and her pups back to his quarters laying her down on his bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Jame-e healer Mahnde said you lost a pup during your capture on Matriarch Aaliya's ship."
He wanted to tell her right away so she'd know there would be no more pups coming and she could properly mourn the loss. When all she did was nod he added, "Abhay will be proud of the sons you have given him." He took her hand saying, "I'd like to court you with the purpose of becoming my life mate."
Jamie's head shot up she wasn't expecting him to ask her to be his life mate it was what she wanted more than anything just not with the male she had thought it would be. Ci'tde was just as handsome only in a different way than Abhay. She smiled softly at him saying, "I'd be honored to be your life mate."
