Path of the Hunters [PART 4] (NSFW)

"Lost in the winding maze that is this place?"

The wolf grumbled. "This sucks."

"'This sucks'?" Sol repeated, smirking. "That the best you got?"

"Sensitive ears, Sol." His eyes glanced across the kids, locking on his daughter.

Aurora's tail wagged happily.

Sol rolled his eyes. "Nova, you cuss just about as much as Sunny or Briggs. It's when you stop when we start goin', 'Okay, somethin' ain't right."

"Bite this, Blowhard. I want a fresh start with my kids, if ya don't mind."

"Not much actually" They turned a corner and arrived. "Just about three feet." She smirked.

Clueless, wondering about the sudden gruffness of his voice, Aurora lapped at his face eagerly, yipping to make him sound nice again.

"'Bout damn time..."

Nova laughed, smiled at his daughter. "Okay, I'm sorry!"

Sol smirked. "Guess some things just gotta change."

"Seriously. Food first, fun later." Clutching his empty stomach, he quickly moved into the mess hall.

Star looked up at the door and tackled the dog before she got more than three steps in. "Sunny!!!"

"Holy fuck, get off!"

Cuddling the dog, purring happily, she laughed. "I'm getting married!"

"Yeah, I know. I'm the one who-"

"Like, now!"

"...What?"

Briggs raised an eyebrow at the hedgecat-he never understood where all that energy came from-then turned his gaze to Cross. "About damn time you made the move. I was startin' to think I'd have to get her, to push you to do it."

Cross gave the wolf a bored expression. "Nice to see you too, Briggs. But yeah, Sunny. We're gonna tie the knot before we head out."

"For real?! Fucking win!" She finally returned the embrace and half-dragged the hedgecat towards the food. She was starving.

Nova smirked at Briggs, who was following Sunny to get some food. "So, how was she, man?"

Briggs sneered at the wolf. "Don't you got a wife and kids? Fuck off, I'm hungry."

As Briggs stalked off again, Nova snickered, not put off at all.

Star grinned. "So how long you been awake?"

"Long enough."

"For...?"

The dog smirked and Star laughed. "Disgusting."

"Jealous."

"I'm getting married today, so... not so much."

"Yeah, congrats on that, Star," Briggs said, grabbing a plate. "If anyone can keep up with you, it's Gray Matter over there."

The hedgecat purred. "He sure as hell can."

"Ugh."

"...Ugh. Save it for the honeymoon, if you can."

She sighed heavily. "Sadly, the honeymoon will have to wait until he gets back from space and Europe and all that."
