*** Aether has joined 018.07.154.55 <Aether> Hello. You have reached Lusamine Mendel. <Aether> Please leave a message, and I will get back to you shortly.
[For a moment his grip tightens when she starts trying to pull away, before he realizes she's just putting a little distance so she can look at him. Then his grip loosens. It doesn't fall away entirely, his claws catching in her clothes, holding on so she can't go further without him.
A child who spent two weeks alone with the voices of his loved ones ripping him apart, whose just seeking some reassurance. Desperate reassurance.
He goes to answer he has eaten, from what he knows, but he stops himself. Because, frankly, the idea of just eating more is still good to him. He wants more food.]
... I have yo but I'm still hungry. I ain't sure if it's somethin' to do wid what was out there but... [But he wants to eat. He wants to eat and sleep curled up in a pile with everyone in his circle.
What's more... he wants to hunt.]
If... if you ain't got food 'round it's okay, I can hunt somethin' down...
[Lusamine takes another moment to study him, briefly brushing his hair away from his face to look into his eyes. She would be glad to hunt for him again, of course, but to say that he's still hungry even after already eating...
She thinks she understands. Perhaps it isn't just the nourishment he wants. He wants the thrill of the hunt.]
[Ah. To have a mother who understands what her child is trying to say, what her son needs without him needing to utter the words. Tension flees from his body the rest of the way, and he offers a smile in return.]
Sounds like a plan to me.
[They've technically eaten together before but never hunted together. Beat's curious to see how it goes.]
