[Ravok Lakeshore] Rocking with a Raven(Amelia)

"They don't seem to mind me and I don't mind them!" She said pointedly. The raven-woman didn't know it, but wolves and ravens got along quite well. The packs of these wild canines seemed to prefer the company of ravens to other avians, though Yon could never have explained precisely why. If she were to guess, however, it would likely be because the air-cousins were very aware of their surroundings and could keep an easy look-out for more dangerous predators. They wouldn't so readily share a kill, but they would not chase the birds away typically. "I don't like the cats much, but they're easier to scare away. I have a some hair at my roost from this one I saw late last season! Stupid thing tried to claw my tree but I told him no and he didn't listen so I took some of his hair from his tail and he ran away."

To the remarks of her indepedent speed, the girl nodded understanding, staring up at the older woman from her vantage. "Yea, I know humans can't run fast. They're slow and clusmy and don't have very good balance and you can almost blow them over with a breath of wind!" Yon exhaled for emphasis but flinched when the yeowl of the creature was heard again, her legs ready to take off it it got any closer. The horse must have sensed it too for its anxiety level rose. Looking off in the direction of the noise, the kelvic chewed at her lower lip uncertainly before turning back to Amelia and eyeing the extended hand. This one was different than Garron had been. She was smaller, for one, and she sang.

"You're not going to take me back to the researchers are you? I don't wanna go back there, I like it out here, even if it kinda scares me like when the sky became like the lake and screamed a lot." The girl shuddered then jumped visibly. It was the closest cry of that thing yet, and now that she didn't have the reliability of her animal form to fly from, the changeling was all the more nervous. Following Amelia might not be such a bad idea afterall!

The girl reached for the others hand,, using it as leverage for getting on the horse (a difficult chore that required combination pulling on both women's parts.)

Amelia didn’t like cats much herself, she was into bigger animals. But when they were safe to approach, the ones here by the shore weren’t the friendliest. None the less, she didn’t find it worth mentioning, as there was little time to spare. Fauna was getting more and more bothered. Amelia could notice that the horse had some clear signs of fear and an uneasy glance that was piercing the woods towards the sound. Fauna was a calm horse, obedient and trained, it was the only reason she had such luck to control her. If it wasn’t for her calmness, it had run off, thank god it obeyed Amelia’s tugs on the rail.

”human? Clumsy?” she had seen so many graceful dancers and acrobats, that it seemed bizarre, yet, remembering that she has fallen over her own feet and walked into walls. It somehow added up. ”I guess we are” more of a sigh than an answer. She even doubted that the Raven had heard it.

She could see the clear worry in the woman, she was scared of going back to the research center. Amelia knew it existed, but for all she knew, it was something like a slave market, but specifically for kelvics. She never really asked about it much. ”don’t worry, I won’t” Amelia stated as she helped the woman up. It was a bit harder than she had expected, despite her fragile looking frame, the woman had quite a bit of weight on her. And Amelia not being the physical type, had to put in all of her concentration in the process, tensing all of the muscles possible.

One way or the other, the woman had gotten up behind Amelia on the saddles. She didn’t know how comfortable it might be to ride while being naked, but she assumed the kelvic would still find it a bit more comfortable than a dress. Sometimes Amelia regretted wearing dresses all the time, in situations like this it didn’t really pay off much.

”Now Fauna, let’s get going” She told the horse, slightly tapping its side to emphasize her words. Well, one didn’t need to remind the horse twice. As soon as she had ordered it, Fauna set off. No second thoughts, no nothing. She was just running along the overgrown pathways and heading closer and closer to the clear shore line. Amelia held on to the rail tightly, afraid to let go, to fall. ”hold on! Fauna seems to be highly worried” she explained as the horse didn’t stop running.

The shore line was clear to see, finally! But something felt wrong, so wrong. All the time Amelia hadn’t bothered turning her gaze around to see what was there, behind them all along. Now, when Amelia looked behind her to see if her kelvic friend was fine, she saw it. A relatively big puma had been running after them. She wasn’t sure at which point it gained up to them. But it was there, Fauna gained speed as Amelia began praying.

The puma prepared for a jump, to jump on bout Amelia, Yon and Fauna. In terror, Amelia jerked the rail to her, forcing Fauna to violently turn to the side. The puma continued its flight despite the sudden movement, and landed in the water. You could see how it was fighting for his life, this must have been a deeper shore than Amelia had expected it to be. But it wasn’t what one would pay attention to, as there were clear cries of pain coming from the animal. But they stopped, they stopped and all one could see was a layer of blood covering the clear, mirror like surface.

Meanwhile, the sudden movement from Fauna had forced Amelia to lose balance from the saddle. And she had fell down on the ground. The pain didn’t seem as more than an average bruise though, so she wasn’t worried for herself. The scratches on her arm were passing as well. What worried her was Yon ”hey, are you ok?” she asked, glancing up at the Kelvic.
