Arkain chuckles as he listens to Kellus as he carefully sniffs the air. The air is full of amazing scents. It's wonderful. It brings back many memories of his past times in the jungles. The air is so thick with scents it often obscures important scents, like those of predators. He can tell it will take a bit get use to his new nose. He can see he will have to be extra careful till then. He is careful not let the others see this.<br/>"Ha, those feral snakes had better be afraid of us when they see us. I am sure they will be curious but I agree, I don't expect a warm welcome. We are going to be hunting in their territory, you know. I do wonder how big those naga will be, hmmm. Yea, I am anxious to  do some hunting. I’m hungry."<br/>Arkain starts to look around studying the area some more.  "Kellus, do you notice something odd about this area? That village at the dock looks like it’s been here a while but I see very little outward growth. That's kinda odd. Don’t you think?  I wonder why. What do you make of it?"<br/>Arkain looks over at Jaku and chuckles. "Always thinking with your stomach. I still feel we shouldn't be so quick about eating all of them. Having allies we can count on if things go south is always a good thing. He looks back at his tail and smiles. "I always know I can count on always count on you. This will be a good time to sharpen our hunting skills." His tail looks up and nods.<br/><br/>Rubbing his nose he looks over at Tamara. "I agree. My nose is a bit over whelmed by all the new scents." His smile gets bigger as she takes the lead. "Watch this Kellus. A true hunter is on the prowl." Arkain freezes when Tamara jumps into the bush after the snake. He keeps his eyes fixed on the bush then lets out a light sigh when she emerges safely with a rather large snake in her coils. Slithering closer he nods. "Yes they sure do." Arkain see one quickly slither off through some nearby bushes. "I got it." Quickly dashing though the bushes he goes after the snake. He tracks the feral snake going through a maze of trees and stumps. As he quickly darts about looking for the snake his tail sees a deer close by frozen by fear. Just as he gets ready to lunge for the snake his tail lunges at the deer coiling around it. It opens its maw and makes quick work of the deer. The snake pauses and grins then gives a playful female giggle and a wink that surely would have made Suri jealous and disappears from sight. Arkain looks down angrily at his tail as he slithers back over towards the others. “What the heck was that? Since when do you things on your own?”  His tail looks down. “Sorry Dad. I got carried away with all these scents and the thrill of the hunt. It will not happen again.” Arkain sighs and shakes his head. “That’s OK. Just you need to remember we need to act as one. I know all of this feels different but still as we were before. You have, well, grown up. I have seen how I need you and I can see you need me. We will work this out together. OK?” His tail quickly slides up and gives Arkain cheek a warm nuzzle and Arkain’s hand gently caresses the side of his tails maw.<br/>He looks at the others and looks around trying to see if he can see that female snake but no luck. He sighs sure she is long gone.  “I am still hungry but I can’t put my finger on it but something doesn’t feel right. That deer was caught too easily. It should have bolted way sooner. It’s like it had seen snakes our size before and that worries me.”
