The cave definitely looked different from when the small male was not here. Back then the cave actually looked big and empty.
But it didn't feel that way anymore, it was actually starting to look too small.
' Should I expand the cave some more? He keeps adding things to the cave, what if there's not enough room for him to add more. '
Kinnai turned to look at the sleeping male. He looked as delicate as the weak females from the tribe, but at least they have a big build unlike his small body. It looks so easy to subdue. It's a good thing he is male, a female like that will fought over by powerful males who see his uniqueness.
'' Haaaa, what am I thinking? He is obviously male, who would mistaken him for a female? "
After a while of mind claiming chants which he learned from Ozi (I have no idea why) , kinnai went out of the cave to prepare the meat for evening meal. Mika would not let him keep it in the cave, outside it stays.
Having learnt to start a fire using the Flintstones from Mika, he started cooking their dinner. His cooking wasn't that good but at least he didn't outright burn it.
The meat was cooked soon and washed and added the ice milk fruits he had found, these fruits are from one the few trees that bears fruit in winter.
Kinnai went to small male's nest to wake him up. It was odd that he had to wake the small male since he usually woke up immediately he entered the cave, always alert. He tapped him, then shook him a little but it didn't work. Not even the smell of meat under his got a reaction.
' He's weak, so he must be very tired from the work he did. '
Kinnai left him to sleep since he seemed very tired and ate his part of the meal and left mika's on the fire embers with a covering of leaves.
' The leaves should make it smell better and softened more by tomorrow, am sure he would like that. '
Kinnai went to his newly decorated nest and lay down. Today had been a long day of searching for fruits the small male would like, he found some but they would have to wait until tomorrow. He turned to look at Mika one last time to make sure he still had his cover on him after which is closed his eyes.
....
Kinnai had know idea how long he was asleep before a humming sound woke him up. What he saw the small male covered by a bright light, hanging midair with the humming sound coming from him.
He was very shocked.

Other promts sounded in Mika's soulspace as he came to. He had no idea why the system was so worked up and ruining his sleep. He still felt very tired but forced his eye open.
' Why is this bear so close to me? Is he holding me? Why?'
Feeling the person in his arms moving about kinnai's paniced heart claimed down.
Seeing the small male like that had scared him, was the beast god trying to take him back because he was not taking proper care of him?
No, he can't let that happen. The small male belongs to him.
"Hey bear, bear. HEY YOU DUMB BEAR."
Mika screamed with the little strength he had at the bear who was looking at him yet his mind was obviously not on him.
His scream pulled the bear back to reality but before he could quiz him on how and why hw was holding him, he was hugged hard by the bear.
"Are you trying to kill me? Let go of me you idiot bear, I can't breathe."
Mika had to hit the bear a few times to get him to let go.
He looked at the annoying bear in anger, but only got an innocent questioning stare in return.
"Where you trying to kill me just now? Do you know how strong you are? How can you be so careless I...
Before he could go on with his talk, he was hugged again but this time in a gentle manner.
" I am not dumb, I was making sure you were fine. Since when have you been able to speak my language small male?"
Kinnai was surprised that the small male could now talk to him in the beast language.
He was not able to do that when he left, was this a new power?
Mika froze when he heard the bear speak in a language he understood but remembered he bought a translator he relaxed.
He wanted to talk more with the bear but felt himself losing consciousness.
"Sleep, we have tomorrow and more."
With these words in his ears, Mika gave in to hypnos.
