[b]Where did they even come from?[/b]
[i]A cave in the glade.[/i]
Karishad had just gotten back from taking his sister for a walk around Dojoville. When he walked back into the cave his family was taking refuge in for some time. The cave was lit by a few torches, illuminating the musty air and floor. His younger sister and brother came running up to them excitedly, hugging his legs. His grandmother was resting in the back of the cave on a deer-skin cot. In fact, most of their things seemed to be deerskin... His sisters' wore short dresses made from deerskin, and his brother simply wore a loincloth as most of his fur hasn't grown in yet. He set his one sister down and told them to go play as he started dinner. He went to a different place in the cave and began utilizing the small rations he managed to collect the last time he went hunting. He sighed as he realized he wouldn't have enough for himself...

Nada was running through the glade, and heard him, so she made a cute little mewling noise
-
His ears flicked as he heard the noise. "Hm?"
-
She entered the cave, mewing again, her body glowing
-
He looked at her curiously. She didn't look threatening so he went back to working on the meager stew. Meanwhile, Mari, Kari's 9yr old sister peeks around the corner, seeing Nada and giggling.
-
Nada tilted her head, and padded closer, sitting like a cat and mewing again
-
Mari gets a little closer and sits on her haunches, patting the ground and wagging her tail a little.
-
"Whats your name?"
-
Kari pipe over his shoulder. "Her name's Mari, she can't speak, but she can understand perfectly." Mari nods, affirming it.
-
"I can't speak well" Nada's voice was very shy, and her words were more slow and painful
-
Mari shrugged and got closer, sitting on her side.
-
Nada padded up and then curled up "mama taught me how to"
-
Mari snuggled Nada like a teddy bear, gently nuzzling her head.

[i]Artemis had been hunting when she started to smell something. Food. She ran to the cave entrance with a bow and quiver on her back.[/i] "Hello? Anyone there?"
-
Kari jumps, being visible from the cave entrance. He had been making potato stew, and not a lot. He hurridly grabs a frying pan as if he had combat skill with it, which he did not. "S-s-stay out! We d-don't want any trouble!"
-
[i]Artemis laughs and slowly walks in.[/i] "I'm not here to hurt you. Why would you think that? My bow? I was just hunting a little."
-
"H-hunting for what..." he asked suspiciously.
-
"Anything I could find that wasn't sentient....I found nothing. I'm a little annoyed, but I can live with it. So, are you cooking up some potato stew there?"
-
He sets the skillet down and glances at the pot. "Yes... but there isn't much. I can't afford to share."

-
"Im not on the greatest terms with too many people in town at the moment..." he looks away as he rubs his neck. "I really screwed it up here, didn't i..." he mumbles to himself quietly.
-
[i]Artemis seems curious.[/i] "What did you do?"
-
"I may or may not have stolen food from a lot of bakeries... i didnt want to make people too mad so i only took small and easy things to make...It didnt work..news has spread a "giant orange beast" will probably try to get at the bakeries and meatshops again so if i go back ill likely be killed.."
-
[i]Artemis laughs.[/i] "That's ridiculous! Come on, if you bring the family and have me by your side nothing will go wrong. We can go to this great sushi place I know."
-
"Sushi? You know what, nevermind. Food is food." He sighs. "Ok...but nothing better happen to them." He turned to go get his family. "ill be back shortly.." When he came back, he was followed by two 3'5" werefoxes, one wearing a deerskin dress and the other a simple loincloth as he didnt have much fur on his belly or legs yet. Also behind him was a 5'4" werefox, his other younger sister, also clad in a deerskin dress. In his arms was a frail-looking werefox with longer fur then any of them, wearing an old, woolen coat. "Welp, meet Grandma, Mari, and the kits. (a kit is a baby fox). Im Karishad by the way."
-
[i]Artemis waves with a smile.[/i] "Hello, I'm Artemis! Don't worry, I'll get you food."
