Kuilak, who had roasted three fish at once, held up the extra two. "Who wants 'em?" He called, looking teasingly at all the children as he awaited a response.

Tess looked at him quickly, her mouth immediatly salivating. :I do!' she cried, raising her hand, and practically bouncing up and down.

"Here you go," Said Kuilak, handing Tess a stick. "Can I have the other one?" Misaki volunteered. "Of course, of course!" Kuilak handed his daughter the other one. "Yum!" said Misaki.

Tess eagerly took a bite, and held it in her mouth a moment before chewing, savoring the smoky flavor. "Mmm," she said, taking another bite.

Misaki devoured her quickly and tossed the bones to Jaci. It was bad for most felines to swallow fish bones, but Blue Lions did it so much in the wild anyway, Setsuko didn't mind allowing Jaci to be fed them. Jaci crunched them up with his strong, sharp teeth.

Tess finished seconds behind MIsaki, and watched as Jaci crunched the bones. "Can I give him some?" she asked, hopefully holding the leftover bones.

"Ask Mama," Said Misaki, gesturing towards Setsuko. Setsuko had already heard the question. "Go ahead," she said, nodding to Tess.

Tess grinned, and placed the bones in front of the Blue Lion, watching expectantly.

Sure enough, Jaci was quick to attack those bones as well. When he was finished, he curled up for a catnap.

Tess turned away as Jaci finished, and curled into a large, furry ball.

"Has everybody eaten?" Setsuko asked. There was a chorus of "yes"'s. Setsuko nodded briefly. "Alight then. Dose anyone have any ideas on what to do today?" She looked expectantly at the gathered mini-crowd.

Maddy opened her mouth to suggest flying, but closed it almost immediatly, remembering not everyone could fly. She also considered swimming, but considering how her mom had reacted to the suggestion earlier, she though it would be best to ask tomorrow.

"We could go on a hike or something," Gale suggested, his voice soft and even.

Kanna looked up excitedly. "That sounds fun!" She excalimed. "Yeah!" Agreed Misaki, eyes shining with enthusiasm. Sumi rolled his eyes. "Isn't a hike how we got in this situation in the first place?" He muttered under his breath. Kya nudged him.

Gale looked please that his suggeston had been taken with enthusiasm. To be honest, he didn't really think it was a good idea, but he had been wrong, apparently.

Tess' eyes brightened, and she smiled, now excited and ready to go.

Kuilak stood up. "Majority rules," he huffed. "Let's get ready, then." His kids quickly ran into the cabin to make sure they had everything. Setsuko followed more slowly in order to retrieve Li's baby-pouch.
