Arkain grins and gives Jaku a warm nuzzle. "Dinner? Mmmmmm. Sounds good Jaku. I am starved." Arkain moves up with Jaku but stays just a bit off to the side of hir. He nods agreeing with what shi is saying shaking his head when shi talks about the Chimera Project. Arkain rolls his eyes playfully and sighs when Jaku said they were not going to eat them then lets out a big laugh. Arkain nods as he listens to the foreman’s comments then rubs his chin pondering the otters dilemma. "You are right to be concerned about Chimera. Chimera is not to be taken lightly. For the longest time we had a place that was safe from Chimera but not long ago they destroyed our home and we had to flee. We know firsthand what Chimera is capable of and the risk you are taking.. For that very reason when I say whatever solution we come up with will leave you and your people safe from Chimera's rath.” Arkain moves up sniffing the air. “I admire how protective you are of your fellow otters.  I am equally protective of my family and family protects each other and those who help us.” Rubbing his chin some more. “But how. Hmmm. Clearly whatever the message is Chimera will have to know how bad it will be for them if they even think of harming you.  Now foreman, you did say Chimera has used your port so that means they also must have a fleet of ships. Correct?”<br/><br/><br/>Tonar grins with pride when Jaku makes a point of thanking him but then sweat starts to form on Tonar's brow and his pulse rises when he hears Jaku talk about dinner being a sight to behold. Even with all of Jaku’s assurances Tonar's nerves and over active imagination start to take over.  Tonar feels a bit calmer when the foreman comes closer but when he hears them talk about Chimera he starts to get even more nervous. His hands now visibly shake when the foreman talks about what would happen if Chimera came after them. Arkain tips his head concerned the very nervous way Tonar is acting. His tail sees it too. Being a bit over enthusiastic his tail slides over next to Tonar. He moves his now much larger tail maw right in front of him and gives him a big grin. "Hi Tonar. I am called Tail. You are looking kind a nervous. Everything is going to be....." All Tonar sees is Tail’s big maw in front of him and that was all he could handle. Freaking out he lets out a loud scream. "IT’S GOING TO EAT ME!" and then bolts. Tonar's legs move him faster than they ever have before right out of the warehouse and into the nearby woods. Arkain's tail jumps back in shock into Arkain’s arms. "What did I do, Dad? What did I do?  I didn't mean to scare him. We need to go after him." Arkain gives his tail a hug. “I know you didn’t Tail. I don’t know what got into him. Yea, let’s go find him.” A new male voice is heard by the doorway that Tonar ran by. "Please wait. It's really best not to do that." A young otter walks into the room that looks very much like Tonar. “Tonar is known to do that. He will be back once he calms down. Sometimes he can be as skittish as a rabbit during hunting season.” Chuckling lightly. "We would also like to hear your plans if that's OK." A couple other workers nervously stick their head around the corner and wave then quickly move back out of sight.
