Ivan was in the nesting cave when Ky and Nym returned. He was sitting on the floor with a half full basket and he'd set out a large white glow stone on the floor in front of him. It let off a clean white light that lit Ivan and the surrounding area. Ky dropped his rabbits on the floor and ignored the way Ivan's face scrunched up.

"Hello Honey," Ky purred as he kissed his snowy hair and rubbed a hand over his stomach. "Nym and I found food."

"I see." The water dragon looked at the meat in distaste, but turned his head to give Ky a peck on the mouth.

"Ceral's going to come over in a bit to eat." Ky pulled Ivan's legs straight and started to massage his tender feet. They looked a bit swollen. "Hey, Nym come sit down." Ky nodded to the spot next to him and grinned.

"So how was hunting?" Ivan asked. He pulled some fruit and fried fish out of the basket and the nudged the rest toward Nym. "I think the humans meant that for you." In the basket was some bread, cooked meat and other decidedly humanish food.
