Solo Suitable for Sizable Surplus

[Auni]

92nd of Winter; 512 AV : More often than not; that is how frequently Auni lets her temper slip. If someone were to bring up the idea that this erratic tendency is something she has no control over they would find themselves met with the exact same attitude. There are very few exceptions, a rare handful that are nearly impervious to her less than pleasant tantrums. Those counted among the fortunate being animals and anyone extremely close to her. Since no one is currently able to make the latter claim the list is shortened that much more. So how come it is so easy for the Gilding she owns to agitate her? Well first of all, the term 'own' is to be used as loosely as possible when it comes to the relationship between anyone with a Gilding. The breed is simply too impish to actually be considered property, especially to someone such as Auni who is of the mindset that no living organism should be thought of in such a way. Despite her understanding of a Gilding's disposition Auni could not seem to grasp the reason behind Marble's increasingly troublesome behavior. Another shrill, almost deafening and definitely blatant command would bounce between the massive tree trunks surrounding her. Against the near silence her harsh whistle would certainly attract the attention of the mare. “Damn it all! Must I rouse the whole of Mizahar before you get your tail to me?” The question was rhetorical but Auni was beginning to suspect that the horse was waiting for just that as only now did the first echoes of nickering begin. Perhaps it was her irritated imagination playing tricks on her but it sounded an awful lot like chuckling. Whether or not it was Auni found herself unable to answer. In fact, she was hardly ever capable of capturing an accurate translation from Marble. The noise continued, constantly growing closer until the vegetation, thinned due to Winter's last vestiges, parted enough for her to make out the solid shape of the approaching equine. Adorned with the fixated necessities Marble was a sight to behold as she trampled through the thick undergrowth with ease. The jingle of various items could be heard as they collided due to the strong movements she made while striding forth. Auni let her unsettled thoughts of the horse subside as she readied the kill for traveling into the city. The Spirian layout was not far from their placement within the outskirts. However with the unpredictable nature of her steed Auni found it was never good to dilly dally. Lingering usually cost her preciously, even if it was only in wasted energy. So no sooner that the horse had stopped the fresh carcass was being hoisted up onto Marble's back. With surprisingly minimal effort the young Kelvic was able to tie the wild mammal into place. Afterward she found herself checking to ascertain that Marble's temperature was normal. It was. But that left Auni slightly curious as to the motive behind her companion minding her manner for once. Not the most enthusiastic rider, particularly when that ride was to be enjoyed atop a persnickety mare and behind the kill, Auni opted for walking alongside the mount. It would take less than a bell and a half before the pair would reach the edge of sprawling territory, add another twenty chimes and they'd probably have the bobcat presented to the two owners of Juicy Morsels. However Auni felt that she should be the one to handle the unsavory task of skinning the creature and thus would wait until done to deliver for the last time.
