[color=F39B05]“I have not yet tried the cheesy tuna sandwich. Perhaps we can all go there for lunch!”[/color] Zion wasted no time in shoveling bite after bite of cold eggs into his mouth, and though he talked as he ate, he was careful enough not to let a morsel escape his active maw. It helped that he rarely chewed at the eggs. Table manners were not a consideration to the near wild catfolk he hailed from, and he often forgot Malachi’s frequent instance of eating with his mouth closed. Especially when he was excited and talking about food, while eating food, made him happier than a cat napping in a sun patch. 

[color=F39B05]“You are an adventurer as well!”[/color] Zion’s excitement continued to build, his tail swished as fur bristled. [color=F39B05]“Yes, I can see it.”[/color] His fist slammed onto the table with enthusiasm and the dishes on the table rattled. [color=F39B05]“Or rather hear the lack of it, Kenia you walk with near-silent footsteps and I have excellent ears. Stealth is your game is it not?”[/color] He asked, further studying the way the elf carried herself. She was small, like Jun, but clearly better muscled and so the lion decided Kenia might make for an excellent teacher for the human. Jun had certainly spent all week trying to improve his stealthiness. 

And it was just as Zion was thinking of the human, and loudly chowing down on bacon and breakfast sausage, that human returned. Without Malachi, who apparently had run off into the woods. Zion set the plate he was holding back down and watched Jun, his ears flattened some in mild distress. 

They weren’t supposed to leave the human unsupervised. But Malachi had run away from Jun leaving the human alone. Why would he do that if it wasn’t an emergency? But Jun didn’t seem concerned. The lion's brow furrowed. Why would Malachi run in the opposite direction of breakfast? Did the elf want to get in some cardio before eating? 

[color=F39B05]“Why did Malachi run into the woods?”[/color] He asked Jun. [color=F39B05]“And why would you let him go alone?”[/color] Even under the best circumstances the woods held dangerous creatures that could attack with very little warning. If Malachi had gone for a run, Zion decided it was best for him to join the elf unless Jun offered a good reason for Malachi to have gone off alone.[/color]
