At that, the mighty hunter returned with his catch…
A stick.
Mukin pounced and pranced over to Ghubari and Luka, head held high. He was proud as punch, as if he had caught the biggest fish in the pond. He deposited the stick in front of Ghubari, then looked up at her with big, brown eyes, seeking approval.

With a chuckle, Ghubari crouched down and scratched the top of Mukin’s head. “What did you find here?” she said, wiggling the stick before looking back at Luka. “Is he the fetching type?”

Luka nodded, her tail waving back and forth lazily.
Mukin leaned into the scratch, letting out a short bark. His tail was much to short to properly wag, but he did attempt, his entire bum wiggling back and forth as he excitedly watched the stick in Ghubari’s hand.

Mukin’s antics made Ghubari laugh more deeply. She rose to her feet , and with precise aim, sent the stick spinning ahead of them on the road about 50 metres. She suddenly imagined what Nico would have done under a similar situation and new that he’d have sat upright on his hind legs and peered at her with bewilderment, wondering if she lost her mind. It made her laugh harder, though it was tinged with as much sadness as it was amusement.
“Sorry, Just imagining what my companion would have done if I tried to institute a game of fetch,” Koraia said.

Mukin practically flew down the path in pursuit of the stick, his strong hind legs sending him bounding across the dirt. His wings flapped, giving him short bursts of speed and slightly more airtime.
The little alien creature pounced on the stick and shook his head slightly to show it who was boss before returning to the women, at a notably more relaxed pace - somewhat necessary given the large stick he was now carrying.
Luka tilted her head just slightly at Ghubari at the mention of her companion. That wasn’t the first time it had been mentioned. Although she was curious, Luka didn’t think it wise to press on something that might be a sad subject and a raw pain for the Captain, and she let the topic slide past without comment.
“The human equivalent to the domestic borkin in regards to behavior and place in society is apparently a small canine called the domestic dog. I have encountered them… Briefly. The dog did not react well to my presence.”
