Bayden snorted a little from his position behind Ryder when he heard the other neko offer to pay them, but what he really found interesting were the young man's words before that. 'To give the stuff back.' What stuff?
Whatever it was was the reason those hunger were chasing him and his partner... Where was his partner exactly.
As Bayden looked around, trying to catch sight of anything, Ryder had moved a little closer to the injured neko.
He could tell he was injured because of the way he was standing, and what skin was visible under the muck looked pale...then again, maybe the neko was naturally pale, but Ryder was still certain he was injured.
"It's okay, puppy, we aren't going to harm you", he tried to sound reassuring, like with the children and injured that he and Bayden helped to hide and escape to safer place. "We aren't with those humans. In fact, I've never seen them around here before". He flicked his tail at whatever was buzzing around him and then continued.
"My name is Ryder, and that is Bayden", he pointed to the human who had wondered over near a cusp of trees and sighed. The human was too curious for his own good. No doubt he was looking for signs of the other youkai.
Shaking his head, Ryder turned his pale green eyes back to the blonde. "You're favoring your ankle. Did you hurt it? We can help, ya know", he moved over where Bayden and placed his pack and pulled out a roll of bandages. "You may have broken it, or just sprained it, but either way, if we bind it, it'll feel a bit better", he continued to speak softly as he moved forward, his sleek black tail held high to keep it out of the mud.
Bayden had moved to the trees, he knew there was a trail in there, less step and easy to maneuver if not for all the underbrush, but then again said underbrush made for a good hiding spot.
He had found a long thin tree limb; or what used to be a tree limb, but now was just a stick, and poked one end into the bushes.
"If you're in there, you can come out", he spoke, briefly throwing a glance over his shoulder at Ryder and the other younger neko. They seemed fine, so he turned back and looked some more as he spoke.
"We aren't enemies, or part of that hunter group. We actually help youkai in need and we'll help you and your firend", Bayden tried to sound soft spoken and reassuring, like Ryder tended to be, but he could never seem to get the tone down. Some people even claimed he was more alpha like then omega in manner, which was funny because for all of Ryder's alpha traits, he was soft spoken and kind. They truly were an odd pair.
Shaking his head of his thoughts, he always did get distracted rather easily, Bayden moved to the left and in a bit further, moving the stick from side to side. "From what your friend said, I gather you took something you shouldn't have from the humans hunting you. Which was stupid really, seeing as humans already have enough animosity for your kind. Dare I say that if you had been captured you and your friend could have been treated to something worse then death".
Bayden also had a nasty habit of saying exactly what he felt and thought, no matter the other person's feelings.
"There are those types of people that sell your kind into slavery you know. It's barbaric and inhuman, but then they don't see your kinda as anything other then a means to make a few silver or gold coins...and that's the ones who aren't depraved".
Finding nothing, Bayden sighed heavily and dropped the stick. A perfectly good speech put to waste on nothing but some bushes and trees. Bayden found himself a bit out of sorts.
He'd really be hoping to meet the other youkai. To see exactly what it was the youkia had stolen that had started such a racket, which in the process had put his own expirments and teatime on hold.
