A Little Stroll

[Caylis]

BRYNNETH~

Yellow fur brushed a fir tree as she walked along a dusty mountain path, she liked walking by herself in the mountains at dawn, ecspecially long ones. She thought to herself that she had to go back to camp, Cocaine would surely kick her ass, just like he always did when a Meurtrieran did something wrong. Damn, it drives me crazy! she thought bitterly, heading back to Meurtrier territory with a little sprint. "Well i'm going to impress them all, end of story!"

When Brynn arrived in camp, she slowed her pace as she looked around for Cocaine, wondering what to ask him, she finally came up and said. "What is it you'd like me to do, sir? Training, kicking ass, hunting or just cub-sitting?"

COCAINE

[/i] He began, a paw looming to his side as he swept it across the landscape before them. "What do you see? Who needs help? Is the food stock low? Are the cubs being watched? I'm sure Viciado and Caine's cubs are fine. They are, as of right now, the only cubs that require watching after all. Our food, perhaps, could use a little more fresh-kill. And training? That never hurt anyone."[/ul][/blockquote]

BRYNNETH~

She nodded, thinking of training. "Yes, sir! I'll ask right now, Cocaine." With a leap she prowled through Shadow Veldt, looking about for someone to train with, her green eyes scanning the area that was now Meurtrier's. While she was running she saw a snowshoe rabbit, she stopped immediately.

The lioness crouched, careful not to warn it, the white rabbit felt like a symbol to her, a sign of beauty. She shook her head, this wasn't the time for gazing! She crept towards it until suddenly- whoosh! The snowshoe rabbit zoomed away within a flash of it's pale white fur.

Brynn let out a caterwaul and was in pursuit. Her mother taught her a trick when she was an adolescent. She backflipped and landed on a stiff sycamore tree branch. The rabbit stopped, sniffing as the lioness crept quietly and sprang. Before it had the chance to make a break for it, she sank her bone-white teeth into it's neck, drawing warm blood. "Yes!" she yowled with victory, she bolted back to the camp and dropped it in front of Vicadio, Caine and the cubs. "For you, dear ones. I congratulate you." she said with a warm smile.

COCAINE / VIC&FAMILY

[/i] She said. And as if on cue, Nerante turned the corner and picked up his head. "I'll go hunting with her. I've nothing else to do."

Caine and Viciado exchanged glances but nodded. "Very well Nerante, you're practically an adult now, off with you and help the pride and all." Caine said. Nerante stood next to the 'ess but turned his head to her, his wings folded closely at his sides.

"I'm Nerante, as you hear my father say. I don't recall your name. You that new member of Meurtrier, right?"[/ul][/blockquote]

BRYNNETH~

The lioness's ears flattened and said shyly. "I-I'm Brynneth but call me Brynn. Yeah, you can say that but i'm determined to show others i'm not pathetic." She looked at the sky. "I see that the sky is getting darker, we should get going." The lioness looked awkwardly and murmured. "You know the land way better than I do, you should lead."

NERANTE

[/i] He muttered, then flicked his tail as he turned and began to head off, a sign for her to follow. "I only know these lands /so/ well. Only an alliance to Meurtrier, my family and I. But I guess you've a point regardless. There's hawks in the higher mountains around here. Want to try that, or some mice in the lower areas?"[/ul][/blockquote]

[Caylis]

BRYNNETH~

The lioness looked over to the mountains, she flicked her tail to the mountains. "I say we try there, if we catch more hawks it means more prey." she said smoothly. She pricked her ears up, at least someone gave her advice that actually worked. "Thanks for the advice, Nerante. I really appreciate it."

[kahara]

NERANTE

[/i] Nerante said with a shrug as he marched onward toward the mountain path. He kept at an easy pace, no rush, but glad to be away from the craziness of family for once. New siblings, great and all, as long as they didn't end up like his brother Balthier II. Slowly he found himself lost in thought. Though the sound of a hawks call brought him back and he looked up.

"I could fly up and scare them closer to the ground so you can leap up and snag them. Up for that?" He asked.[/ul][/blockquote]

[Caylis]

BRYNNETH~

She nodded and crouched. "You can say that again." she whispered, getting prepared with her eyes locked on her prey.

NERANTE

BRYNNETH~

The lioness bunched her muscles and sprang, her black claws unsheathed. She sliced one's throat, leaving it to fall and die as she caught another with a quick bite. "That really sucked." she said, her voice muffled. She dropped it and leaped again, and took a big one down, she wrestled it, pinned it down and struck it's throat. "I did it!" she purred with joy. "In your face, world!" She called to Nerante and flicked her tail. "I think we should head back and give them to the pride. Then if you want, we could hunt more."

[kahara]

NERANTE

[/i] Nerante said, then carried the hawk in his mouth as he headed back.[/ul][/blockquote]

BRYNNETH~

The lioness returned to the clearing and dropped the little hawks in the center. "It's your choice what you want to do, Nerante." she said quietly. She sat down and groomed herself, feeling much better. Nerante sure made her feel better but... why? She looked straight forward, lost in her thoughts.

NERANTE

BRYNNETH~

The lioness walked up to the winged lion as she said. "Thank you for helping me, Nerante. I really appreciate it, I'll see you soon." She smiled at him and walked back to the camp, picked up a hawk she caught earlier and ate it, thinking of her deep thoughts that played in her mind.
