Dekoth’s eyes went wide as he heard the howl. He was looking forward to a private hunt with his mate and now he had to prepare to hunt with the whole pack. Turning towards the study, he sighed as he shook his head. He couldn’t quite grasp why Calvin would want to go on a full hunt now.  Even if Musette didn’t run and tell him about what happened between them, Dekoth hadn’t exactly hidden his anger over how the last engagement turned out. Taking them out together could spell trouble, but he new missing it would only cause a fight, and he promised Soleil he would try to stop fighting.<br/><br/>Moving into the study, he looked over Calvin in his anthro form, any hope that this was just a meeting left him as he did. They really wanted to run a hunt while there was still so much tension. As soon as Soleil stood next to him, his arm crept around her, pulling her to his side possessively in front of Calvin. As much as he respected Calvin, he refused to be intimidated by him.<br/><br/>“So where shall we hunt? The park sounds like a good spot, should be a few good people still running there. Might even be a little bit of a challenge.”<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Lohanis sighed as he stood up, pulling his hand away as he did so. He didn’t want to get into a fight with her, didn’t want to give her a reason to put up a wall between him and her. Turning away from her for a moment, he started to collect the jumbled thoughts that were in his head. So many things needed to be decided, and quickly. Turning back to face her, he nodded slowly.<br/><br/>“Marcoth and I have known each other long enough to not let it come between us for too long. Even if I am wrong in that opinion, we would never let anything jeopardize the security of  the pack. But I agree, people in the pack should talk out there problems, especially at a time like this. We need perfect cohesion so that once we meet a threat again, we don’t make any mistakes. That is why I am in here, making sure that you are fine, alive, and well. You are a member of the pack now, you are one of us. You do realize that right?”
