He squirmed as her light touch tickled, and then sought out her own weaknesses, running his hands lightly along her sides. He caught her lips again with his own, returning passion for passion.

Bella slept soundly, comforted by the purring of the tiger next to her.

Red shuddered and slightly gripped Arien's shirt. Another night like last night and Red was happy. She didn't want to be anywhere else or with anyone else.

Nex didn't sleep that night but he was relaxed and happy all night, being next to Bella. He kept watch all night so that Bella wouldn't have to.

The sun rose even when Arien didn't. With a soft mattress below him, a warm body beside him, and the knowledge of being safe--he was quite content to sleep in. Of course, it could also have been due to his recent bout of teleporting that he just didn't have the strength to contemplate even getting out of bed...

Bella, on the otherhand, was up at the crack of dawn; her tail wagging as she attempted to barge into Arien and Red's room to wake them up. She was starving and the Bringer Of Food wasn't up yet. And she had had a full night's sleep which left her wound up more so than usual.

Red was up but she didn't move out of bed or away from Arien. She didn't want to and she was warm, when obviously fall was coming. A chill swept through the room and Red got closer to Arien.

Nex followed behind Bella until she tried to get into Red and Arien's room. He barred her way and gently nudged her towards outside.
They're exhausted. Let them sleep. Don't worry I'll catch something for you. Nex thought to her in a cheerful tone.

Bella whined and then pricked her ears up at Nex. Food? She trotted outside and went over to nudge Patch awake.

Arien smiled sleepily as he felt Red snuggle into him. Apparently they shared the same thought of not wanting to hurry up and rise.

At first Patch protested with mewling then he fluffed out his fur and sat, huddled by Bella. Nex trotted over to the forest and slipped into the shadows. After several minutes he came back, a plump rabbit swinging from his jaws.

Red traced small, light circles on Arien's chest. The sun filtered in through the window and Red knew it was probably closer to lunch time. But she didn't want to move, for she was relaxed and content with being this close to Arien.

Bella gave a gentle lick to Patch, before turning when Nex returned with a rabbit. She wagged her tail, sitting properly like Arien had been trying to teach her how to do since she was three months old.

Arien smiled, a faint glimmer of that wicked humor shining through his tired eyes. "You just can't keep your hands off me, can you?"

Nex set it down at Bella's feet then licked her ear softly. He padded away back to the woods, so he could catch Neo some food as well.

Red smirked and looked up at him, sitting up a little. She leaned over him and got close enough to where their lips were brushing.
"Mm no I can't," Red whispered then pulled away, smirking.
Now if Arien wanted to play games, she was good at that. Teasing was something she was talented at, even though that Arien's jokes were wicked and self-absorbed.

Bella tore into the rabbit with gusto. Hey, she was a wolf and hungry. Manners didn't really apply in the animal world. But she flicked her ear when Nex licked it.

Arien huffed when, just as he leaned forward, Red pulled away. He lay back. "Alright, fine, you win. What do you want?"

Red smiled and put her head on his chest.
"Nothing. I'm happy just being with you," Red replied.
Draping her arm over his stomach, she laid there listening to his heartbeat. Closing her eyes, she lightly slid her fingertip on Arien's side.

Nex came back with two rabbits. Setting one down by Neo and taking the other for himself. He settled down next to Bella and tucked into his food.

Arien made a noise of despair when she began to touch him again; and then tried to take his mind off it by gently running his fingers through her hair, massaging the back of her neck when he reached it.

Bella didn't exactly inhale the rabbit, she left a few pieces that would be easily manageable for Patch near him. She began to chew on the bones, crunching them down and eating the marrow.

Red softly laughed then looked at Arien.
"I thought you were tired from last night," Red murmured and smiled.
Sitting up, she kissed him finally. She was shocked she could have actually held back that long.

Nex finished his then started grooming his fur. Patch gulped up the parts of the rabbit that had been left for him. Neo devoured the rabbit quickly.

Arien looked up at her and grinned. "The only time I'm tired, is when I've teleported too much." He flopped back and spread his arms, taking up much of the bed. "This is what I call resting."

Bella finished what she could and then followed suit in grooming; starting first with her paws.

Red smiled and rolled her eyes. "You know we are going to have to get moving at some point today," she said with a sigh.
Holding one of the extra blankets around her, she began to get up.

Neo followed suit of Bella and his brother. Then he reached over and plucked Patch away from Bella, before grooming him.

Arien sighed. "I know. It was nice to sleep in though." Even if he was going to pay for it later. He sat up and began to dress for the day.

Bella finished cleaning herself, having done only the barest minimum, and then ran a lap around the tigers; her boundless energy replenished. She didn't bark, but she whined eagerly, wanting to get going soon. And then, much as she tried to hold it back, she couldn't help it. The howl escaped her.

Arien jumped and buckled on his sword as he heard Bella's howl. "Oh gods bless it; what did you do this time, Bella?" He demanded, checking to see if Red was dressed before opening the door.

Red had just barely gotten on her blue corset top before Aren threw open the door. Scowling, she strapped on her sword and walked slower, out behind Arien.

Nex got up slowly and walked over to Bella. He touched his nose to her muzzle and brushed his tail down her back.
I know you wanna get going but give them a few to get dressed. Nex said, purring with amusement at Bella's eagerness.

Bella wagged her tail, hitting it against Nex's side briefly before swerving around Nex and tackling Arien--who let out an unmanly screech when he saw her coming.

"Aack! Bella! Off!" He yelled as the wolf flattened him to the ground and proceeded to wash his face with her tongue. He struggled to shove her off, but Bella wasn't the young cub he'd first met; and she was heavy. "Enough! Red--help?"

"Nex you seem to have a soft spot for her. You try and handle it," Red said, smiling and nodding towards Bella.

Nex trotted over and shoved Bella off gently then playfully pawed her side. His claws stayed sheathed and he only pawed her softly.
Nex purred and his eyes lit up with amusement.

Bella turned and swiped at Nex with her own paws, before leaping off Arien to prance around Nex, her tail wagging frantically.

Arien stood up, brushing himself off. "Thanks Red, Nex. She's got waaay too much energy this morning. She needs a good romp."

Red caught a girl staring at Arien as she walked slowly by. Red scowled and had half a mind to go wipe that smirk off the girls face.

Nex pricked his ears up and turned to the woods.
Wanna go for a quick run? Nex thought to Bella.
