Raschen huffed, taken aback at the words of the elder. Not so much toward himself as he had understood their ways long before this moment. It was the complete disregard of blood to Jax that gave the Kuguar pause. He felt a lump rise in his throat and a fire in his chest. He took a breath and rested a hand on Jax's chest to hault any retaliation. His emerald gaze wandered to the angered Hase.<br/><br/>"calm yourself...we have come too far to start a war over something else, haven't we?" He pat Jax's shoulder. "You and Lily are welcome in my home. I know it did not seem so large when you saw it last but I will show you just what I can do for you two. You both played such an integral part in our victory. I could never leave you to the wastes."<br/><br/>The feline smiled warmly before bowing the the elder respectfully. "Our company will be moving shortly. We must pay visit to the Hyane as well before we can return home ourselves. Thank you for the night's rest and hospitality, Elder" He gave them their peaceful gesture of hello and goodbyes before wandering toward their corner encampment, gently resting his paw over Taryn's hand to stop her.<br/><br/>"Please..for the little ones. Do not strain yourself..." He whispered softly. whenever he spoke with her it was gentle and quiet as if they had their own world when they spoke and it was for noone else to interfere with.<br/><br/>He kissed her forehead lovingly and helped her right herself, resting his warm paw over her tummy, his paw tips wriggling at the feel of gentle kicks against it. A joyful smile swept his muzzle as he held his mate for a few long moments, his strong paws beneath her stomach, lifting it to help ease her back, at least for a moment. His muzzle rested against her lips and her forehead once more as he slipped from her side to dismantle their camp, rolling their packs and tying them once again.<br/><br/>As they gave their final goodbyes and began setting out he watched Jax hold tight to a weeping Lily's paw. He sighed softly and looked back to Taryn. The little ones grew swiftly and she would not be able to travel with such hinderance on her back and sides. He thought a moment and rested a paw on her shoulder.<br/><br/>"Be still a moment.." he whispered as his scars glew bright green a moment, signaling the access of his magicks. He slowly stood behind her, his warm paws sliding about her middle and beneath her tummy to support it until he felt the sigh of relief from her lips. This was the pressure needed.<br/><br/>Taryn felt a sudden rush of heat behind her before Raschen stepped infront of her again. And yet she could still feel the support beneath the weight of the little ones being applied. A glance down showed paws still beneath her, supporting the weight and yet they weren't flesh, the surface seemed to move slowly as if flowing. A look over her shoulder revealed Raschen behind her, his face stoic and blank, eyes glowing a bright green and flesh continuously rising from the sand and soil beneath them.<br/><br/>He smiled gently. "a golem...it will follow behind you and relieve your muscles of the strain the little ones put on you...it rises from the sands so do not worry of outrunning it. It will stay behind and fulfill its duties until dismissed. "<br/><br/>The Kuguar smiled, proud of himself in his moment of ingenuity with his magick. He looked over his shoulder and sighed as Jax approached with a still wet cheeked Lily in tow.<br/><br/>"I will assure your comforts in the Kuguar encampment.." he said softly as he looked over the pair before his eyes wandered to the towering Hyane mines in the distance.<br/><br/>"Just one last stop..we will pay homage to their fallen and present them with their fang and return home..we should make the Kuguar camp by nightfall..." He said as he measured their encumbered speed.
