Bella "arf-ed" as something big and fluffy tossed her aside and she landed on her side to look up at Nex. She hastily scrambled to her feet and tackled him--though he was much bigger than her and heavier.

Arien made quick work of setting up his snares before returning back to the fire in time to save the meat from burning. He grinned at seeing Bella and Nex playing and then retrieved the cooked meat. He peered into the tent to check on Red.

"Breakfast is ready," he murmured, leaving a small plate of rabbit near her.

Nex let himself fall over as Bella tackled him.

Red blinked her eyes open sleepily and looked up at Arien. "Mmm..thank you," she murmured and sat up, rubbing her eyes.
Picking up the plate, she ate the food quicklt then crawled out of the tent. Laying on her stomach on the cool grass, she smiled at Arien.

Having scarfed his meal down, he paused to give her a short back massage, before reluctantly drawing away.

"Well, the house isn't going to clean itself. I set a snare not far from here, so if you hear anything strange, it probably went off." He smiled. "Hopefully it'll be a deer."

He grabbed a shovel and headed back to clear out the house, while Bella flopped over Nex and gently began to chew on his ear, pausing briefly to give it a lick, and then chew on it again.

Red relaxed when he started giving her a massage. When he pulled away, she looked up at him.
"I'll be sure to listen out for it while im helping you," she replied.
Standing up, she grabbed a shovel as well and hurried over to him.

Nex purred in amusement and let Bella chew on his ear. It actually felt pretty funny but it didnt hurt.

He smiled at her when she helped with the shoveling and by noon they were done with the floor and the mud. Dragging his arm across his forehead to wipe away the sweat he sighed. "Well, all that's left is the nitty-gritty of cleaning off everything else. And adding the next room. Where did you want to add it?"

Bella eventually gave up chewing on Nex's ear, choosing to wash the half of his face presented to her. She listened attentively to the sounds around her all the while.

"I was thinking next to our room. I dont want to be too terribly far away from his or her room," Red replied and rubbed her tummy gently.
Her stomach growled and she blushed in embarrasment.

Nex purred and put his hind paws under her stomach. He put his forepaws around her neck and proceeded to lick her face gently.

Arien nodded. "Sounds good." And then, when he heard Red's stomach growl, he laughed. "I'll go check on the snare and see if we caught anything. Lunch shouldn't be too much trouble to wrestle up." He kissed her gently.

Bella leaned into Nex's grooming, tail wagging happily.

Red kissed back gently and smiled. "Do you want me to help with lunch?" she asked and followed him outside.

Nex's constant purring was soft and soothing. He continued the groom her face until it was thoroughly groomed then he groomed her neck as well.

Arien smiled. "That would be great." He stretched and headed towards the snare. Unsure if he'd actually caught anything.

Bella turned a little to watch Arien go, before squirming under Nex's minisration.

Red smiled and watched him go before lighting a fire and putting some left over rabbit over it. Glancing at Bella and Nex, she laughed a little and looked back at the meat.
They were a cute couple. She had never seen Nex so relaxed or gentle.

Nex purred in amusement and let Bella go. Gently nudging her off him, he stood and shook the dust from his fur.

Well, that was disappointing. Maybe tomorrow he'd catch something; or later in the day. It was worth a shot. He tromped back to Red. "No good, nothing caught yet."

Bella shook herself as well, copying Nex before going over to sit by Red and watch her prepare the rest of the rabbit.

"Thats ok. I prepared some rabbit just in case," Red replied with a smile.
Taking three pieces, she handed them to Bella. One for Bella, Nex, and Neo who would wind up sharing with Patch.

Nex trotted over to Neo and Patch and sat with his tail curled around his paws.

Arien chuckled and helped himself to some of the remaining rabbit. Bella took her offerings over to share with Nex.

Arien ate quickly, but then took a few minutes to just relax. "Well the house is coming along nicely. I suspect in another couple of days we'll be ready to add the extra room." He rubbed his hands together, bringing feeling back into them after all the shoveling.

Red ate slowly and nodded at Arien's calculations. "Alright and thats gonna take the most time and work," she said.

Nex licked Bella's cheek in thanks and took two of the peices, handing one to Neo. Whom, as Red assumed, shared his piece with Patch. Nex stood close enough for his and Bella's fur to be touching.

"True, but it'll make the most difference. We'll need to head to town to get supplies, I think, but most of it we can do ourselves." He rolled his shoulders.

Bella wagged her tail, gently brushing it against Nex's flank as she ate her portion of rabbit.

Red nodded. "What do we need from town?" she asked.
Crawling over to Arien, she massaged his shoulders for him.

Nex ate his rabbit piece quickly then licked his paws and brushed them over his ears.

Arien leaned into her massage. It felt good. "Hmm, basic tools. Hammer, nails, eventually a door and windows. Wood. That's all that readily comes to mind. I'm sure I'll think of something else, when it comes to it."

Bella bounced to her paws and then sought out a stream to drink from.

Red smiled and kept massaging. He was tence and needed it thats for sure. "Well im sure we will be fine with the wood part. I can stir up a little magic for that," she murmured in his ear and smiled.

Neo got up with Bella and let Patch climb up onto his back. Nex was right beside Bella and all the animals went to go to the pond for some water.

Arien smiled briefly back at Red. "That brings me to ask, what exactly are your talents? You did some, er, unique moves back when we fought Ash." He hadn't meant to bring that up, but it was too late now.

Bella happily waited for the others to catch up and drink before she waded into the water

Red paused then let go of Arien's shoulders. "Ah yes. Well i have all elemental powers. I can mix elements to create metal for example. Or lightning. I also have a little magic such as i say a spell and it works. Would you like me to show you some?" she explained then asked.

Nex jumped into the water, sending a wave over Bella and Neo. Neo hissed and puffed out his fur.
