Lucan held Eryan tight as he took in the beating of her heart and her warm breath on his chest. Gently he rubbed her back, kissing the top of her head before gently as if to say â€œThank you for letting me inâ€ and reluctantly lifted her off his chest so he could gaze into her eyes. It truly was the first time he had ever felt this connected to anyone and he knew from this moment forward he was here to stay, with the pack, and with Eryan. â€œIâ€™d apologize if this was moving a bit fast, but you did kiss backâ€ he teased with a smile then sighed as he let his gaze wander back up towards the cave where he could hear a few voices talking about an excess of food, clearly sounding like a minor argument. Lucan looked back at Eryan with a displeased yet playful look. â€œMaybe we should go work some crowd controlâ€¦â€ he stated followed by a slight laugh and then motioned for her to lead the way back.<br/><br/>Upon returning to the cave Lucan caught a slight glimpse of Thomas wandering off into the cave with his plate of food. The slight tension in the air was a bit discouraging but Lucanâ€™s current mood wouldnâ€™t allow whatever was going on up here to bother him. Lucan glanced down at the dead deer then over at Kakasha, realizing there was more negativity being thrown around here all of a sudden Lucan decided to risk a few angry stares and possible snap-backs by offering some type of positive input. â€œWell on the bright side, we have an extra hide for the new comers. Might be an excess of meat but we can never have enough pelts lying around Iâ€™m sure.â€ Lucan looked over the carcass again, examining the killing blow that Kakasha delivered. â€œClean kill as always Kakasha. Glad Iâ€™m not part deerâ€¦.â€ Lucan bent down and grabbed the deer by the back of the neck and hoisted the body over his shoulders. Although it was always easier when in werewolf form, Lucanâ€™s human body was no fragile thing either. Lucan decided that it was time he did a little more around here and make himself a bit more useful. They did so much for him, it was only fair. Lucan glanced over at Aidan, then eyed a plates of food she was prepping. â€œAidan, if you want, Iâ€™ll go ahead and start skinning this thing. Iâ€™ll grab my plate once I set this thing down.â€
