Nodding as he listens to Azlant. "Thanks Azlant that makes me feel much better." His smile grows bigger feeling more relaxed. "Sensing no hostility from them is a good start, Azlant. I feel very lucky to have you taking the lead. Any advance warning will be very important the further in we get." Watching Azlant move into the treeline he is amazed how he is able to blend in so well it is almost impossible to see him. That works out perfectly for him but what about for him and Suri.<br/><br/>Looking at how thick and hilly the terrain is ahead and seeing Jaku and Tamara exit the water and head for them makes him start to rethink the plan of just the three of them making this trip especially when Aztant mentions the what if they run into any local natives scenario. From what he has gathered from the otters that the odds are very good that the local natives are large nagas. Suri is a strong fighter but even the three together they wouldn't stand a chance against multiple large nagas. Jaku and the others are powerful fighters. Having them join them is the smartest thing to do and truly the best way to protect Suri. He may have to eat some crow for suddenly changing his mind but Suri and Azlant will surely understand.<br/>He turns to Suri and brings her hand up in front of him and kisses it softly. "Suri, something Azlant just said has me rethinking the plan of just the three of us making this trip by ourselves. The odds are too high to ignore that the local are large nagas and we just can't assume they will be peaceful. I think having your Mom, Dad and Kellus join us is the best plan and the safest. If we snuck off and you got hurt! Your Dad would rip me apart and I shudder to even think what your Mom would do to me. Since they are heading this way we may as well have them join us, Sound good?"<br/><br/>Arkain turns back towards the others watching them quickly approach them, he gives Jaku a wave back. Grinning ear to ear he watchs as Jaku sneak over and gives Kellus one of his special kisses and hugs. It makes him feel so warm inside seeing how happy they are, especially now being one happy family. His grin gets bigger when he sees Jaku quickly head to him and wrap his large tail around his hip and gives him a warm hug. Wrapping his arms and tail around him he returns the hug. He lets out a cough when Jaku squeeze make it hard to breath for a second. He doesn't mind. He treasures Jaku's hug. He always feels better after one of those. He laughs when Jaku kisses his snout. Putting his hand on Jaku's neck he looks into his eyes with great warmth. "Thanks Jaku."<br/><br/>When he sees the look on Jaku's face when he holds out his arms for Suri to jump into, he now knows he made the right choice to wait. Feeling the warmth of their embrace brings a tear to his eye he is so happy. When Suri comes back and coils around him, his coils join with hers embracing her close to him. He whispers in her ear. "I love you Suri."<br/>Nodding in agreement looking where Suri is pointing. "That's right. Suri, Azlant and I have been talking and we feel that we should be proactive and find out who the Naga's are that the otters refer to. I know we are happy and feel safe here but there is something not right about this island. Its a nagging feeling that just will not go away. With all we have been through, I would rather find out who our neighbors are first before we find out by surprise. I feel we should all go together as a family. A kinda adventure. Azlant is scouting the area. He said he is very good at blending in with his surroundings and would be the best one to scout ahead. Boy was he ever right about that." Nodding again towards the tree where Azlant was perched.
