“She is feisty. Looked ready to fight me to moment the bumped into her.” Dek slings the weapons over his shoulder and pulls his basket closer. “The brother looked anything but like a fighter. Does he really hear the forest?”

Tu’lak grumbles underneath her breath. She’d side eye Dek, “Good luck, hunter.” There was a twinge of sarcasm in her words, but ultimately she did mean it. She walks off, waiting at the exit for Shen.

“Goodbye, Tu’lak, Shen. Be strong for your trials.” Dek called out, giving a nod.
November 13, 2025 at 9:36 PM
Tu’lak was quick to back off, picking her stuff up and holding it on her shoulder. “No one got hurt.. Just some words exchanged is all,” she tries to explain.

Dek takes his basket, looking away. He made a scene and his pride is ruined. So much for promising to stay out of trouble. “Sorry.”
November 13, 2025 at 8:27 PM
Dek nearly goes to push back, but then he sees a few Yautjas looking their way. He puts his hands up in surrender. “Forgive me, I didn’t mean to offend anyone. I wasn’t aware having a bond like that existed. Shen, you have a great gift.”
November 13, 2025 at 8:07 PM
Tu’lak growled. She puts down her stuff and pushes Dek back by the shoulder. “How dare you insult my brother! You think you can say whatever you want just because you run your own clan? Because you survived a great hunt? You still need to be respectful, or has your ego gotten to your head already!?”
November 13, 2025 at 8:07 PM
“Strong, yes. I didn’t do it alone though, I had help. Without them I would’ve died immediately.” Dek tilts his head in confusion. “The forest speaks? Are you unwell?”
November 13, 2025 at 7:44 PM
Dek rounds his shoulders, standing strong. “I fought against things not many Yautja would. I survived Genna, fought my father and won, and made my own clan. Does that answer enough?”

Tu’lak grew quiet as she listened. She scoffs and nods, easing up into a more relaxed stance. “Yes.”
November 13, 2025 at 6:41 PM
Tu’lak steps forward. “If she didn’t kill you then it means you’re worth keeping alive. What makes you so special, Dek?” Her eyes trained hard on him. He was small like her brother, but that didn’t mean anything.
November 13, 2025 at 6:41 PM
Dek blinks at the two. Siblings? Those names.. It hits him. “You are Cosmo and Scar’s children.” He sets his things down. “I am Dek, I’m visiting and staying with Ka’Lek briefly. I just recently met your parents as well.”
November 13, 2025 at 6:14 AM
“Dad said not to pick fights. I’m stating the obvious, there is a difference Shen.” Tu’lak’s glare does easy up though. “You are new. Smell new. Who are you?” She goes straight to the point, not wasting time.

A growl comes from a slightly taller yautja. They stumble back, nearly dropping their own items. “Hey! Watch where you’re going.” The yautja spoke with a sharp tone. “Not the only one here y’know?” Sassy.

Smaller armor pieces were acquired as well. He was making good progress so far. Dek picks up the basket and walks forward. Unfortunately he didn’t look in front of him when doing so, so he ends up bumping into someone.
November 13, 2025 at 6:01 AM
Dek sets off on his own path down the market. Surprisingly he wasn’t immediately jumped like he thought he would be. Each stand he went by was as welcoming as it could get for yautjas. He managed to get himself a basket, something to carry his things with.
November 13, 2025 at 6:01 AM
“An underground market? Need good weapons, they will be there? Underground.” He didn’t push his luck on trying to do things for himself. Even if he still wanted to do most of it by himself.

“I will handle it up here.”
November 13, 2025 at 5:41 AM
His eye ridges furrowed, deep in thought. “I would like to find better armor and weapons to store. Food is a must too. If I find something else on my visit I will take it with me. Perhaps something for Thia and Bud.”
November 13, 2025 at 5:23 AM
“Of course!” Jess says happily.

Dek shook his head. What a weird family they have going on. He secures the bag to his belt and starts walking off to the market. He needed a moment of peace to process everything.
November 13, 2025 at 4:52 AM
Jess pops out from the cave at the mention of his name. “Huh? Oh yeah we’ll be good here! Can even start dinner while you both are out. Uh Yu’Ju! You can come down now and help, please?”

“I guess..” Yu’Ju replies, climbing down. “We play cards too?” Did they..? They wanted to hang out with Jess??
November 13, 2025 at 4:52 AM
“I cannot stay for too long. I still need to return to my ship. A day or two will work. I can gather more from the market and the jungle. Would that be okay?”
November 13, 2025 at 4:37 AM
Dek almost looked taken aback by Ka’lek’s offer. “Stay..? Longer?” He would go quiet as he thinks. Staying longer would mean he could gather even more supplies. He could also use it to speak with other Yautjas if the opportunity arises, but his..friends. His clan. They can’t be alone for too long.
November 13, 2025 at 4:37 AM
“I will,” He says confidently. Dek gives a nod to Cosmo before they turn and leave. He watches for a moment then goes to face Ka’lek. “You were right, they were nice to be around. Both wise and caring.”

“We trade now?”
November 13, 2025 at 4:29 AM
Dek takes the bag. He holds it close. “Thank you.. I will use this wisely. It was an honor meeting you, Scar.” He bowed his head as a sign of respect.

Cosmo smiles softly, “You stay safe out there okay? Make smart decisions, hold your friends close.”
November 13, 2025 at 4:13 AM
He nods, “I..understand.” He lifts his head, shaking off the emotions. He needed to stay strong.

“Alright! We’re all settled here!” Cosmo announces as he walks over two boxes stacked. “How about over here? You doing okay, Dek? My offer is still up, I’ll gladly give over some supplies.”
November 13, 2025 at 4:01 AM
Dek lets out a deep huff. His eyes showing a deep sadness. “Does it ever get easier? Dealing with the loss?”
November 13, 2025 at 3:48 AM
“Yes..many rules. I.. I wish I still had my brother to ask him for help. He would’ve known how to deal with all this..” Dek shook his head. “They are lucky to still have each other. It’s important they protect that bond.”
