Ukko grunted, not wanting to stop what he was doing, but Shuule wasn't wrong. It would take more time and energy to pack and unpack the other males, but they would be able to dig down to the solid ground faster, and Anna needed Iro.

With that in mind, Iro was the first one he untied the leather lashings from, easing all their supplies down onto the sand before the large spotted cat shook free of the weight, then slunk over to his spouse.

Shuule could tell the man was more beast then himself, his eyes dilated, mouth open and panting in stress as he stalked towards her. The red head pinned her ears flat back so fast they almost brushed her hood off her own head, baring her own fangs to remind the cat that she too was protective of his spouse - but she also opened up her jacket and let the leopard look her over.
