Hunter and Prey (Sira, Arandolya)

Sira frowned at the strange howls. They did not sound like normal wovles. Sira was familiar with normal wolves. In fact, her daughter had been conceived right after Sira had narrowly escaped being eaten by a wolf pack. She had Natalie's father to thank for that, though she no longer had any sort of contact with the man, and had no idea if he was even alive. Most likely he had perished in the djed storm.

Sira was not overly concerned, however. Most of the time wolves did not attack humans, and even if they did, Sira could shift and any normal would would flee at the sight of a wind eagle. Of course.. they might also not be normal wovles. There were strange creatures about, as a result of the storm, and if that was indeed what she was hearing, Sira hoped they would not have to tangle with them. ..unless of course it turned out the "wolves" were the creatures they were looking for.

Arandolya's attack on the rabbit did not surprise Sira nearly as much as it did Iosha. Sira was a very observant kelvic, and as soon as the woman called for them to stop Sira spotted the movement in the underbrush. It was too small to be anything dangerous, most likely, and when the rabbit appeared Sira was not surprised to see an arrow pierce it a moment later. There could be no hesitation in hunting, not when a perfect shot was presented to you.

"Good job! Hopefully we can catch a few more of those, but if not, it will do."

Sira frowned again when she heard another set of howls. They did not actually sound any closer, but neither did they sound farther away. When Iosha voiced her concern, Sira's frown only grew deeper and the Endal nodded her head.

"They might be. We should look for a good place to camp, and then get a fire going as quickly as we can. Wolves don't like fire."

Hunter and Prey (Sira, Arandolya)

Arandolya smiled at Iosha as she complimented the shot, murmuring, "Thank you," to the two. Even so, the young hunter wouldn't say it the quite enough for dinner ... Worrying about the food supply was interrupted though as a howl charged the air around them, sharp and lingering. Looking towards them, Arandolya listened closely after Iosha's inquiry, frowning as she waited for the song to die off. It definitely was slightly unnerving, she had to admit. Arandolya touched Iosha's shoulder reassuringly, smiling at the Konti. "It is, ah, uncommon for wolves to attack a group. And, quite tiny when ... next to En- ah, Sira," Arandolya noted, hoping to calm the woman's nerves. Though it was good to be alert, be too jumpy and mistakes might happen.

Sira commented the necessity of camping soon, and Arandolya nodded, moving off as they continued down. She wondered what they would be sleeping on ... hopefully grass. Keeping an eye out for more prey and a fairly even place to make camp, Arandolya listened to the wolves when their howls drifted over. She shuddered to think of the pack following them ... though with Sira they should be alright? That's if the pack itself was a normal, perhaps desperate, group of wolves, and not wild Djed-altered maniacs. Well, it was never to be that easy, now was it? That just wouldn't be fun.

Arandolya kept a sharp eye out for some place that would allow rest, a flat surface, with not too much tree hangings overhead that could catch alight if they allowed the fire to go all night. With those wolves, it might be best if they did keep a fire going ... yet a fire also acted as a wide seen signal of the living, for those friendly, and those definitely not. "Perhaps you um -" Arandolya paused, struggling to string together her words in Common. With an apologetic look at Iosha, she hurriedly finished, "You might take wing, End- ah, Sira? You might be able to find an outcropping much easier from the sky than the land, as we might walk right past a fair camp site." It might also offer a chance to see if a pack of wolves really did seem to be closing in, though that was more an afterthought. With a pause in her step, Arandolya tilted her head, golden gaze thoughtful as they looked towards the Wind Eagle Kelvic.
