Saix stood on his hind feet and hefted the deer's body over his shoulder. He walked over to the tree line, shouldering past Zexion as he went. Zexion watched as the blue-furred wolf stalk back to the small village. The boy slowly walked behind him, being careful not to make too much noise. The human's blue eyes were automatically drawn to the blood that was slowly dripping from the wolf's claws.
Saix's ears twitched as Zexion stepped on a small twig, causing it to snap. The wolf stopped walking and looked over his shoulder, "What are you doing?"
The boy's voice was quiet, "Following you…"
"But why?"
"I- I don't know the way back on my own…"
"You know that you cannot be seen by my comrades," Saix said, "I do not want to see you hurt… I do not want to be the one to hurt you."
Zexion walked over to Saix and stood beside him, "Why would you?"
The wolf started walking in the direction of his village, "They would make me."
"B- But… But why?" Zexion hurried to catch up with him.
"My species does not care to find any remains of yours in our territory."
Zexion snapped out at him, "I don't care, Saix! I can take care of myself!"
The werewolf let out a low snarl, "If you think that you can take care of yourself in this forest, then you can just leave my protection and go get eaten by a bear or killed by one of our warriors. It is certainly not my problem."
"No. It's not."
Saix rolled his eyes and growled lowly, "I should not even be taking this risk."
Zexion growled right back at him, "You could have let me go when you found me!"
The wolf let out a huff of breath, "You know what, Zexion..? …. Just go."
The boy stopped walking at the wolf's words. He watched Saix keep walking in that same direction and saw as Axel darted up next to him.
The red-furred wolf spoke quietly, as not to upset his friend even more, "Hey, Sai… What happened with the human? Did you guys get in a fight?"
Saix couldn't help but chuckle at the concern in Axel's voice, "No, Axe… Everything is fine… Worry not."
"It don't look fine, Sai."
"The human just had a temper tantrum. He will be fine."
Axel grinned, "Like the ones Demmy has sometimes?"
Saix smiled, "Just like those."
The red-furred wolf lowered his voice, "I hear your human coming, Sai."
"Yeah, me too."
"Well… you have fun with it. I'll see ya back at the village!" Axel darted off through the trees and in less than a few seconds he was gone.
Saix slowed his steps to let Zexion catch up and he muttered quietly, "I am just not going to be able to get rid of you, huh?"
With a smirk, the human replied, "Not a chance."
