Kamau grinned as he looked over the four potential meals, trying to decide whom might be easiest - or tastiest. He imagined the otter would be he hardest to catch since he could slip down river much faster than Kamau could hope to chase. So he turned his attention towards the deer pair and catgirl, noticing Rachel in the tree just a few moments later. The female's Raichi's presence is paradoxally both comforting and puts Kamau on edge. She'd seemed nice enough in the few minutes before they'd all passed out, but he knew the rules didn't prevent predators from picking each other off for a bigger share of the prey pie. And he didn't know if she was ruthless enough to do so.<br/><br/>He drops low, slinking as close to the nearest one of the four prey as he can, casting glances up at Rachel now and then as he does so, and giving her a little wave if she notices him.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Akiada blinks a bit as he sees the welcoming party, stepping off onto the soft, warm sand with a smile.<span style="font-style: italic">This is a great start!</span>he thinks, his smile turning into a bit of a grin as he accepts the ring of flowers from the wolfess, and though he wanted to say something he holds his tongue, merely giving her a wink before turning his attention to the Elk.

Whilst the fact that a village would make where he was a known quantity, it made up for it with safety in numbers and a steady supply of food, as well as quality shelter.<br/><br/>"Now, I don't take it you came out here to just say hi and push me off into the woods, did you?" he asks, a playful tone in his voice. "Would I be welcome in your village, or should I just take my fancy flowers and trot off some other way?"
