Kanti rolled her eyes slightly at the comment and crawled in last,
closing the vent after them once more. She thought she eyed a tiger
watching them leave, but blamed her imagination.
Kat bit an annoyed snarl back, and went ahead quickly. He then
broke the vent open, and fell into a forest just outside of town.
The cold ice, and snow were welcome as he crashed into the snow.
Yukio landed on Kat's back with a squeak of shock, and looked
around. "We're outside town...if we're smart we can flee before
they notice us" Kat said silently, and panted.
Andromeda dropped out of the vent, giving her fur a good shake. She
eyed the vent curiously, " I wish we knew about this vent
earlier. Would've made a much better entry point...", she
noted.
Lucia snorted. "Well, now we know." She grinned before
leaping out of the vent and into the snow. It was a welcome feeling
against her sore paws. "Where are we going now, though?"
"I don't know..." Kat said with a sigh, he didn't recognize
this part of the forest. Yukio ran ahead of the group excitedly.
"Yukio! Wait!" Kat said in shock and ran after the cub.
Yukio ran through the snow, he glanced over his shoulder to make
sure the others were following. He then stopped at a cabin that
looked relatively well maintained.
Kanti bolted through the snow. "AHAHAHA! OH SNOOOOOOOW!" She
whisper-yelled, rolling through it as she chased them. The wind
would definitely cover the track soon. "I HATE climate control!
Oh man... What is this place?" She looked up at the cabin.
"This is my grandma's place! She decided to live here as a human
in peace" he explained kindly. "Her cabin is far from
anyone's view, and those who help her out are other hunters. This
place will be safe for us to rest and it'll be warm" he said
cheerfully.
Kat smiled, and nuzzled the young cub "Nice job" he said
kindly.
Yukio went to the cabin, and scratched on the door a moment later
an older woman answered, and smiled. "Yuki! It's so nice to see
you? Oh and you've brought friends? Come in" she said kindly, and
nodded to the other hunters.
Kat glanced over to Andromeda "are you alright" he asked lowly?
"After all Yukio wouldn't draw someone he thinks of as family into
a trap" he pointed out.
Lucia didn't care if it was a trap. At least it looked warm inside.
She yawned and bounded inside, licking her side swiftly. She'd
rather not freeze to death.
Andromeda took a few careful steps towards the cabin with her head
low, contemplating. Finally, she padded forward, "You have a
point", she said as she walked by Kat into the cabin.
Yukio walked into the cabin, and turned back into a human. He then
went to a couch and sat down. Kat followed him into the cabin, and
looked around. It was an older building with the smell of cookies,
and cinnamon. The tiger then snorted, and turned into a human to
protect his hunter sense of smell.
Lucia morphed as well, leaning against a wall, hands tucked into
her sweatshirt pockets. There was a rip in her sweatshirt from
earlier that day, but she could fix it sooner or later. She sneezed
into her elbow. The amount of cinnamon in the air was almost
overwhelming.
