Thomas shakes his head at Lucanâ€™s suggestion, â€œNo Lucan, you are not going to go check on caves,â€ the Alpha said sternly. â€œYour idea is flawedâ€¦ After the attack they were badly wounded and reduced in numbers as well. The idea of them establishing outposts is incredibly unlikely as they donâ€™t have the man power to maintain such outposts effectively.â€ Thomas couldnâ€™t help but be a little suspicious of the man and his suggestion. For all he knew, Lucan could be trying to sneak away to report to the Claws. Thomas didnâ€™t smell a lie on the man but that didnâ€™t exactly mean much seeing as no one knew of Aderolâ€™s treachery till it was too late.<br/><br/>â€œWinter is ending though so that bear might have been just an early riserâ€¦ but just in case, be on guard a little more than usual. Now come on we need to make sure that pup havenâ€™t caused any trouble and see if they havenâ€™t all ready started eating without us.â€ Thomas explained simply before starting to head back to camp. He was slightly unnerved by this news and the potential of what Lucan, the Claws, or both might be up to but he wasnâ€™t about to let it show.<br/><br/>Getting back to the den, Thomas was greeted by a somewhat unusual scene: the others had seemed to have disappeared save for Aidan who was singing and swaying to her music as she cooked. Thomas took off his coat and laid it across a rock, his bare arms coming into sight now with a hint of the scar on his shoulder occasionally being seen at the edges of the sleeveless. He couldnâ€™t help but let his eyes get drawn into watching that ass of her sway especially when she occasionally bent over to tend to the food. Perhaps it was the time of the year or maybe it had just been too long because it looked delicious.<br/><br/>He watched for a little before taking a few steps towards he and calling her name to find out where the others went. â€œAidanâ€¦ Aidanâ€¦â€ It was no use, she had her back turned to him and was caught up in her music and cooking. He walks up a few feet behind her and looks her over, again getting caught up in the dancing rear of hers. Unable to resist he reaches out and gives that rear a pinch.<br/><br/>He smiles and she jumps and looks at him. â€œYou know if you sway that tail of yours in the wrong direction you might give a guy the wrong impression,â€ He jokes/teases and is about to ask here where the others went when he notices them returning.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Aidan was caught up her music and cooking to not notice too much, she had scented Thomas but seeing as how he was of the pack and a friend she did not think too much on it and continued with cooking the steaks while she also worked on some eggs she had gotten from storage. Suddenly she felt a pinch on her ass which made her jump a bit as she turned to look to see who it was, expecting it to be Kakasha seeing it to be Thomas was a pleasant surprise that brought a small smile to her lips that grew as she heard his comment. Leaning in to close the distance between them she said a bit low, "I have yet to have my tail give anything but the right impression.....to the right guy that is" her teasing smile was accompanied by a wink before she looked over at breakfast that was nearly done. "I hope you have an appetite for the steaks and eggs and not just my tail. Though you know I am sure we could work out some kind of sampling of it at a later date and time" she finishes before returning to fixing the meal.</span><br/><br/>â€œTemptingâ€¦ but I might be busy so it would have to really be worth my while,â€ He teased quietly back before giving quick but not really hard smack to that 'tail' of hers and heading over to the others. He actually goes over to Kakasha first, â€œIs everything all right?... andâ€¦ you know what Iâ€™m not going to ask why you are all wet.â€ Was all Thomas got out before the pup started to panic.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Jaden turned to look out towards the trees and then it hit him, "Wait, why is it almost spring? I thought summer was just starting? We just had the Prom! What's the date?!" So much for staying calm. Again he was standing, tail standing on end and muscles tightened. His breathing had become quick and panicked once more...</span><br/><br/>Thomas moved over towards the pup, staying in human form, moving slowly, and keeping his hands where visible to try and not scare the kid even more. To a trained eye they might catch the subtle tenseness in Thomas muscles as he prepared to react in the worst case scenario. â€œEasy kid it is the middle of Marchâ€¦â€ Thomas spoke calmly and evenly to the kid, â€œYour transformation has probably messed you up a bit but you need to calm downâ€¦ If you panic you will just make it more difficult for you to control yourself. Take some deep breathes and calm yourself.â€ He shot a quick glance to Kakasha and Juliet to have them be ready or if the had anything that might help now might be the time to say/do it. The last thing they needed was a werewolf having a panic attack and going into a frenzy.
