"I sure hope that Denahi's there." Kimba said. "Don't worry Kimba, I'm sure he'll be there." Nadine said, smiling at her little sister.

"Y'know," Suikin said, trotting along at an even pace alongside the two bears, "There weren't many humans in the forest where I live, so I don't know much about them. Is Denahi nice?"

"Oh definately!" Nadi said, "I mean, he can get carried away with pranks and stuff but he doesn't mean any harm and he's got to really know you before he'll do any kind of picking on you, so you're safe" she grinned.
"I won't say he doesn't hunt anymore, he and the others sort of have to to survive, but they're all alot more fair about it now ever since his brother, my other cousin, Kenai...well he was actually the first one, that I knew of, to get changed into an animal. He got turned into a bear and ever since then our tribe's been really good about being fair about hunting and stuff".
"Well...that's good" Tuke said a bit hesitantly, listening to this explination.

"We should be almost close to the village soon. I'm getting really hungry." Nadine said. "Yeah me too." Kimba also said.

"Yeah, these two forage so much I'm pretty much good in terms of actual hunger" Nadi said "but I'm curious to find out if I can still digest some of the women's honey biscuits!" she said.
She turned to Kimba, "They're like 50% honey!" she told her.
As the village came into view, Nadi skipped forward a bit, "Hey Tanana!" she called, "Nana!".

"Hi Nana!!" Nadine said greeting the old shaman lady as she walked over to her to greet her. "Have you seen Denahi around?" She asked her.

Suikin watched as her friends greeted the old human woman. Despite her curiousity, she was still nervous. Deciding it was the safer route, she hid behind Rutt and Tuke.

Rutt and Tuke weren't any more eager to get closer either, so they stayed back as well and just watched this reunion.
Given everything that had been happening lately, Tanana had felt it in her best interest to actually learn bear and a few other animal sounds, so she understood Nadine's question as she asked it.
"Oh why yes honey, he's right over with the others cleaning a batch of fish, I'll go get him to come over by himself if you want" the shaman said to Nadine.
She then glanced behind Nadine and Kimba and noticed their other young companion. A smile broke forth on her face, "Well there's our little run away!" she said. Lil Nadi looked a bit shocked, "You...you know about...".
"Oh Nadi of course!" Tanana said, walking up and ruffling the fur on top of her head a bit, "The Great spririts informed me the moment it happened. Unfortunately had to informe me they couldn't do anything about it as well, but I sure did what little I could! Gave that unethical, want to be Spririt contactor what was she really deser...".
Tanana broke off in her tirade as she noticed Nadi just watching her politely. "Well anyway, bottom line I took care of it, but we've all been worrying about just how you've been doing. How have you been surviving? Sticking around Nadine?".
The young moose shook her head, and motioned behind her at Rutt and Tuke. Tanana glanced back at them, "Oh I see..." she nodded, "Well, anyway, you two asked about Denahi so let me go inform him we have visitors" she winked.
"Come on" Tanana continued, motioning them to follow as she walked off towards where she'd last seen Denahi. Nadi turned back to Rutt, Tuke and Suikin and motioned to them it was ok to follow. The two moose just looked at eachother, unsure if they were going to take the advice.

All of Suikin's nervousness about humans dissapeared when she heard Tanana mention fish. She emerged from her hiding place and went after Nadi.
"Oooh, fish! I wonder if they'll give us any?" Suikin turned back to Rutt and Tuke. "Come on, I don't think they'll bite ya."

Rutt and Tuke glanced at eachother again. "Well we don't want to be left alone here, aye" Rutt said. Tuke nodded, "Right, some of the others might not know we're with them and spear us if we stay on the outskirts".
With that, the two moose rushed after the group.

"Hey Tanana, speaking of fish, we're awfully pretty hungry, so do you think they'll give us some fish?" Nadine asked her.

"Oh of course honey" Tanana said, "I'm sure Denahi will be more than happy to let you all have some of the fish" she said, glancing over the entire collected company.
"and as for you deary" she said to young Nadi, "The women collected some flowers a few days ago for making wreaths and such, and we've got plenty of un-used ones with fine blossoms on them for you and your two...friends, if you're interested" Tanana said, glancing back at Rutt and Tuke. The moose perked up at this, "Blossoms!".
Nadi turned to them a tad confused, "Uh, is that good?" she asked. The moose brothers nodded furiously, "They're the greatest thing ever, aye!" Rutt said. "Yeah, we must have really failed on the whole showing you the ropes thing if we never mentioned them" Tuke said. Nadi nodded, "Oh, well I'll have to give it a try" she said.
The company finally reached where Denahi sat with some other of the men. "Well...uh, this is certainly an interesting company" Denahi said with a smirk as he noticed Tanana walk up with the others behind her. Tanana laughed, "Yes and they all asked to see you" she said. "I'm touched" Denahi chuckled.
Nadi smiled and was about to try and say something, when Rutt and Tuke sort of caught her attention. The two moose had frozen farther back and were just staring at Denahi with wide eyes. "Rutt, it's him! It's the hunter, from before!" Tuke hissed nervously. His brother nodded, "Yeah, yeah, I noticed, aye. What d'ya think we should do?".
"Run!" was Tuke's answer. The two moose turned and were about to trot back towards the outskirts of the village when young Nadi rushed over and cut them off, "Hey, woah, hold on guys. What's wrong?" she asked. The two moose stuttered, obviously trying to explain their fear to her but Nadi was having a hard time catching any intelligable words between the two of them excpet for "Hunter" "spear" and "dead".
"Guys, it's fine" Nadi said, "Denahi's cool, I promise". Rutt and Tuke shook their heads and the stuttering explinations began all over again.
OOC: Hey Nadine, if you want to go ahead and post for Denahi in his reaction to your character (since he's playerless) you can go ahead. You know the ins and outs of your character's background with him and I'm afraid I might get something, or everything, wrong if I tried. Just to let you know.

OOC: Okay sure. I would be happy to do that for you in your roleplay since my own character has already met him before. But will Kenai and Koda show up in the roleplay later on?
BIC: Nadine saw Rutt and Tuke frozen with fear, but decided to forget about them and rush over to Denahi happily.
"Denahi!!" She cried out happily, pouncing on top of her best friend. "I'm so happy to see you again!" She said. Denahi couldn't help but smile at her and petted her on the head. "Its great to see you again too Nadine." He reply, giving her a big hug. "Hi Denahi." Kimba greeted as she went over to him and Nadine. Nadine got off on Denahi and he went over to greet Kimba. "Hey Kimba. Haven't seen you for a while. How ya been? Is Nadine taking good care of ya?" He asked her, petting her on the head too. Kimba's couldn't help but smile at him. "Yeah, Nadine's being a great big sister!" She said cheerfully.

OOC: I've been thinking about that. I'm not sure yet, most likely probablly.
BIC: As Denahi glanced up from greeting Kimba he noticed Nadi over talking with two slightly familiar looking moose, though he didn't think much on that. "Nadi?!" he said, "You finally decided to visit! We were wondering how you'd been doing".
Nadi looked surprised and interested, "So you all know what happened?". Denahi chuckled, "Well yeah, you don't think we'd have let you just disapear this long and not sent out a search party if we didn't know what had happened. Tanana told us all about what the spirits had told her". Denahi looked slightly confused himself as he continued, "We figured, esspecially with such a big event as getting turned into a moose, you'd have come back here for help way before...".
"Yeah" Nadi said, somewhat embaressed by her hesitancy now, "I...wasn't sure if it would have helped". Denahi nodded, "Oh I see, well Sitka fixed the communication thing, as you can tell" he finished with a smirk. Nadi laughed, "Yeah, I noticed".
"Well it's good to actually see ya again" Denahi said, walking over to give her a hug, one the girl returned to the best of her ability. "I'm also relieved you survived, being a lone moose calf we feared the worst".
"Oh Rutt and Tuke have taken good care of me" Nadi reassured, motioning to the two moose who were currently trying to hide behind a small rock. Denahi nodded and walked over to them, "Well, then I personally thank you for looking out for my young cousin, fellas" he said. Rutt and Tuke looked at him still nervouse, "Uh yeah, no problem...just don't spear us!" Rutt cried, ducking his head behind the rock again. Denahi looked confused, "Why would I...".
"They're jumpy" Nadi explained. "Oh" Denahi said. He reguarded the moose once more then turned back to the company. "and this is our new friend Suikin" Nadi introduced. Denahi nodded his greeting to the fox as well, "Well pleased to meet you too young one" Denahi told the fox.
"Say, would all of you that aren't vegitarians care for some fish? We've got plenty" he continued. "and I'll go get those blossoms I mentioned earlier" Tanana added, petting Nadi slightly before walking off.

"Sounds good to me. I'm starving." Kimba said. "Yeah me too, let's go eat." Nadine said to the others.
