"Oh Silm I thought you were sleeping." She smiled down at him. "Everything is safe so dont worry. I've already made our tracks and scent gone. Im sure the other Kitsune from before can sense my magic so she'll be the only one able to find us. I doubt she is a spy or anything." She rested a tail on his flank. "If you get tired feel free to lay back down with wombat. I have things covered here but anyway. "
She looked at him then Mykhai. "Would you like to hear a story. I think we should all get to know each other better." She grinned at them. "It'll help make friendships stronger."

Slim snorted quietly, glancing between Miyuki and Mykhai silently of a moment. His eyes fell to outside of the cave, and he scanned the area. He actually wanted to hear a story, he wanted to know who he was with. About himself, however, there wasn't too much to tell, not really...
Slim's eyes drooped, but he tried his best to remain awake. He listened to his surroundings, hearing an owl hoot, a peeper peep, and possibly the roar of an unhappy bear. Fireflies lit up the forest in front of the cave, creating a wave of little lamps. Slim cracked a smile, and then turned his attention back to Miyuki and Mykhai.
For a brief moment, he glanced back at Wombat. Wombat's little feet were twitching, like he was dreaming. Slim chuckled softly under his breath...

Mykhai nodded slowly in response to the white Kitsune's offer. Though she couldn't convince herself to sleep from nerves, she felt secure here - especially around Miyuki. She practically emanated an air of protection, it would seem.
"A story would be... wonderful, really." Her voice was hoarse. "And if we're sharing our pasts... I'm... not much of a speaker myself, but... would you like me to share my own... later?"
Yes, she really did feel completely safe here. She rarely opted to share her story with others. Then again, she usually didn't let herself get close to others, either.

Miyuki grinned at her. "I would looove to hear your story later~ Mine is a little long so bear with me." She curled up making sure she was all comfty before taking a deep breath.
"Well it alll started in the moutain all the way in the east, thats where I came from. I had a mom and a dad with my two grandparents and a big brother. I was praised for my magical abilities but i never really thought of it that much. Our little village was so cute and a very spiritual place. I had a friend named Marry. She was the nicest person you could ever meet and the prettiest. Her fur was just so shiny and white! It wasnt all poofy like mine." She giggled then sighed softly.
"Everything was perfect...then everything changed. One day a group of hunters found our village somehow. I saw them kill my friends and my family, all but my brother. He just disappeared... Me and Marry got away saving the kits and some of the elderly and the mothers. I told Marry to run while I distracted the hunters. It worked but-!...I lost Marry and them. i couldn't find them...I was alone. I searched all over the mountain avoiding the other hunters. I still couldn't find them. So I decided to travel alll the way here. I met some other kitsunes on the way and...another hunter i think.." She frowns deeply.
"Well I'll tell you about that man later...Well anyway the first two kitsunes i met were traveling together! The female was very mean and the male was a bit...too friendly...I didnt really get to know them so i really should'nt judge. A few days later I saw this... amazing thing that was flying around. It wasn't a bird. It was soo pretty so i chased it! It was the most fun I had in a long time." Her grin soon turns into a frown again.
"The next thing I know this man jumped out at me and then there was pain. so much pain i thought i was dieng. He was putting a bind spell on me. I sadly gave in and I was trapped. He was a bully and he...he made me kill another kitsune...Then he just left me there wounded to die. I wish i did die that day. i was so ashamed. The reason i didnt die was because of another kitsune. He was a desert kitsune which surprized me. He fixed my wounds and helped me all the way here. Sounds like a nice guy right? He was nice but he was sooo grumpy and i dont think he liked my hyper nature even though it's not really my fault." She chuckled awkwardly. "Well thats my life story. It's really tought me to never give up hope and push on if you want to live. Also to be nice to every stranger you meet." She smiled at Mykhai. It was now dark out and the owls were hooting. "My gosh time flys. Off to bed with you.:3"

"Why is it that every other kitsune I have met has had some tragic past?" Slim muttered to himself with his eyes closed. "To think that mine was bad enough, what has the world come to?" His voice faded away, and he could feel himself drifting to sleep.
Memories flashed through Slim's mind, like they did every night. Seeing his father murdered right before his eyes, dragging himself through the scrublands half-alive and sick to the mountains... Katai's death, all of the worst bits. He squished Wombat towards him protectively when memories of his first meeting with him appeared.
How could anybody abandon their own child like that? Poor Wombat, Slim thought to himself. Even with the trouble that Wombat had a nack of stirring, there was no way he could ever just abandon the kid... hell, that was the reason he was stuck with him in the first place.
Slim had not noticed he had been mumbling to himself in his half-concious sleep, recounting some of what he was seeing and thinking of. Eventually, though, he drifted finally into a calm, deep sleep.

Miyuki smiled at Slim. "Did you say something Slim?" She looked him over more carefully.
"Oh he must have been talking in his sleep." She giggled softly. With a long yawn she walked over to the fur pile and laid down next to him.
"Sleep well Slim." She licked his ear, then Wombats'. Snuggled close to him, she relaxed and watched the waterfall.

Mykhai stared out into the frozen night, contemplating the story Miyuki had told. Recalling the pain she spoke of in the end, she flinched... then sighed as she thought over the lessons it had taught the kitsune.
If only I knew how to recover from my past... She thought. Maybe I'll tell her about it tomorrow. I did say I'd share my story, so...
Mykhai shook her head lazily. Why did she offer such a thing? Even though she did trust these kitsunes - she took a worried glance at the pile upon remembering she was still in their company - she might freeze up halfway in... or even if she didn't panic, she might lose her voice from overworking it. She barely used it for months at a time, so her vocal cords were fragile as glass flowers.
Never mind that now... you'll have time for that when they wake up...
When you wake up...
What a silly thing to think, I'm not asleep...
Sleep...
The kitsune laid her head on her paws and watched the snow fade to black.

Slim woke in a daze. His head felt dizzy, and his body heavy. It was odd--though maybe it was just because of all the stress he was going through recently. He slowly turned his head around, searching for the kitsunes from the previous night. All but one were there--Wombat was still twitching in his sleep from whatever dream he was having. Miyuki was sleeping next to him... when did she get there? He must have fallen asleep without realizing it. Myhkai was sleeping, too.
Slim was surprised Wombat was not up yet, tugging on Slim's ear with his little teeth like he did every morning. Perhaps all of the excitement from the previous day wore him out--which Slim was actually glad about. He could step away from the cave for a bit. He trusted Miyuki enough for her to look after him; she was fairly motherly with the little thing.
Slim slowly and quietly stood up, slumping his way out of the cave. A soft breeze of fresh morning air met his face; he let the moment last for a bit before continuing his walk outside. He headed for the nearest water source, which was a large pond not too far off.

Miyuki woke with a large, long yawn. "Oh no...I feel asleep." She pouted quietly. Well, everyone seemed alright...where is Slim though. She got up and stretched. Maybe he went to get a drink, she thought to herself.
"Not a bad idea." she yawned and trotted out of the cave to the pond. There, she saw Slim. Yup, there he is. She smiled and hopped through the deep snow. "Morning Slim." She greeted with a grin as she hopped next to him.

Although she had fallen asleep at the exit to the cave, Mykhai didn't wake up when Slim padded by, though she had stirred. She was lost in a dream of floating and swimming through stones as if they weren't there. Suddenly, several shadows of clouds that refused to appear in the sky passed before her eyes...
Mykhai awoke to see Miyuki exiting the cave. The gray blinked, then scrambled to her feet, trying to recall what had happened, why she was with other kitsunes, and why one was leaving and another was...
Was at the pond. Miyuki must be going to greet him, Mykhai reassured herself, then turned to see the sleeping Wombat behind her.
Perhaps I'll stay here with him, in case he wakes up and wonders where Slim and Miyuki went off to.

Slim dipped his head into the water, gulping down mouthfuls of water. As Miyuki approached him he slowly lifted his head and his eyes met hers. "'Morning, Key." He said, for short. He had just come up with the nickname on the spot, but it was now stuck into his brain. He smiled shyly.
Slim looked down at the water. "It's a bit cold, but one can't tell when their next drink will be their last for a while." He noted, motioning his head for Miyuki to join him. He glanced back at the cave, spotting Mykhai rousing and heading over to Wombat.
Wombat yipped loudly, and jumped to his feet in alarm. Another bad dream, he told himself. His fur stood up stiffly, and his body was rigid as he bared his teeth to the cave floor. A bad dream, a bad dream.
Realizing that it was morning, Wombat glanced around the cave. Slim and Miyuki had left the cave, and Mykhai was just getting up. "Myki!" Wombat greeted excitedly before trotting over to her. He plopped on her back with a leap as she was getting to her feet. "'Morning!" He grinned cheerfully.
In the distance, he saw Slim ad Miyuki by a pond. "Slimmy and Yuki sittin' in a tree~! K-I-S-S-I-N-G~!" He sang loudly, teasing the two of them. Slim, who was watching them in the cave, made a what-in-the-blazes-are-you-babbling-about expression. Wombat giggled.

Miyuki giggled. "Key. Thats a new one. Thank you." She smiled and trotted over to him to take a drink. She dipped her head a gently licked the cold water until she was use to it. Soon she gulped down water. "Aw~ Mountain water is so crisp and pure~"
Her tails started to wag softly. Ears twitching she heard Wombat greeting Mykhai. She grinned and looked over. "Morn-" She was cut off by his singing. She started to giggle. "We're not in a tree though Wombat.~ Also, as far as i know we aren't kissing." She giggled more and licked Slim's cheek teasingly.

Mykhai shook her head and chuckled under her breath. The young kitsune was rather silly and full of energy, but she liked that. It kept her spirits up... and helped to wake the rest of her up. She needed to be awake in the mountains. Lose a grip on reality and you--
Never mind that! This isn't the time. If you keep thinking about disaster, you'll do something stupid again. You're lucky you only embarrased yourself last time...
Mykhai turned to Wombat and motioned towards Slim and Miyuki with a smile before padding off towards them, making sure to keep a slow pace in case Wombat didn't follow and she had to turn and go back.

Wombat wobbled after Mykhai, a smile lighting up his face like the sun to the sky. "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the nest of twigs~!" He continued to sing as he swung his head around to the tune. "Of cooourrrse you aren't! All the trees are SNOWY and SLIPPERY. Hehehe..." He said.
Slim had been staring at the pond. His face felt hot, and he did not know why--even as a Kitsune he still felt the cold, even if it did not always really affect him. Wombat was silly. He turned around again to see Wombat and Mykhai trotting towards them--he cleared his throat loudly and said, "Right, you little beast. That's it."
Wombat winked at Miyuki.

She smiled and started to think about kits. Would she ever have any? She didn't know but she would love to someday. They were just so cute and full of life. She sighed softly under her breath then chuckled at Slim. He was so red. Awwwwww its cute when he's like that, she thought to herself.
Laughing at Slim's comment, Miyuki pulled wombat over to her. "Silly little beast!~ Prepare yourself!~" She glomps him and playfully starts to tug on his ear. "Rrrrrr~ I gof youf~"
