"He likes you," Jason nudged Octavius with a chuckle before spotting a large black and white canine coming towards them. "Cassie!"
"I think he's really cool as well. He is nice," Octavius replied, smiling when he spotted Cassie too. "Hey! We meet Gaelan. He's nice. And funny. How did your meeting go?"
Jason chuckled. "Yeah, we went to the garden to see Gaelan, and before that we set up some mats and such for us to sleep under the stars tonight. Sort of spur of the moment.
Octavius took his hand, looking rather happy to be with him. "Could we have a cookout? Catch something and cook it? Not as fancy as something served at a table but perhaps that'll be okay?"
Jason was about to reply to Octavius when Cassie started jumping about causing him to chuckle. "What do you think Octavius? She's made an enticing offer, no?"
"I say we go for it," Octavius said, grinning. "It'll be fun. Something that has been missing from the other times I've done it. Cassie, can I help you hunt?"
Jason lost it with his cousin and once he got himself under control he replied. "You're quite lucky cousin, though I'm pretty lucky too."
"I have a bit of an advantage too," Octavius chuckled. "I can sense vibrations. So a rabbits den? I can tell you exactly how many are in there. And how close to the surface they are."
Jason nodded, a big smile on his face as he listened to them. "Can you two talk about this on the way up? There'll also be plenty of time to talk once we're up there, but I don't want to miss out on the sun warmed berries, and I don't think you will either."
"Yes," Octavius chuckled, following the group. "I can outrun, but with air. I tend to use a stone through the heart or skull when hunting. It seems to be the easiest, least painful method. Suffocation or drowning is too long."
Jason didn't really like killing, but knew it had to be done. As long as it was humane and swift.
"I'm okay...just...memories. I am a guard. I am a gladiator. Sometimes I have been entertainment. They want a show, they want needless cruelty...so that is what I did. I am not there anymore. I am in a better place, with better people," Octavius explained. Taking a breath, he focused on Jay. "It takes adjusting. I still expect someone to jump out and tell me I was set up."
