Come down, come down sweet reverence

Jynn's journey to the southwest portions of Boreas brought her into a gorgeous prairie, rich with prey that were likely fattening up for the coming cold seasons. There were patches of clear earth where prairie dogs raised their heads from their burrows. A large jack rabbit sat on a rock nearby sunning itself and a small herd of pronghorn and buffalo were grazing on the short green grasses that covered the flat plains and gentle hills of the prairie. The weather was gorgeous. The sky a beautiful blue and dotted with fluffy white clouds. She crossed the small creek that made up the eastern edge and continued on her way.

Wendigo Klein

Wendigo was hot on the spurs of a runaway turkey. He'd caught a flock of them roosting in a tree not that long ago and set fire to it after other attempts to knock them down or shake them out had failed. To his delight the birds had scattered to the wind, giving him days of gleeful chase.

The bird in his sights today had seen combat in hours prior so she couldn't fly more than a dozen yards before her sparse feathers grounded her again. Both she and her pursuer made quite the sight; the turkey hen alternating between running and flying all the while losing feathers and the wolf running, shrieking and stumbling after her. Wendigo was weighed down by the bodies of the other turkeys he'd caught. His spider friend had told him not to be wasteful so he was packing them all along. Sure, it would have made sense to cache them somewhere but that was the sort of thinking he wasn't known for.

"Gangway!" he shrieked as the turkey fluttered around Jynn. Wendigo, not nearly as considerate, moved to leap over the small canine.

Come down, come down sweet reverence

Jynn's blissful journey was cut short by the stress filled shrieking of a turkey and the yells of the youth that was after it. She stared for only a moment before instincts kicked in and she ducked as the youth leapt over her. Jynn scrambled to the side, out of the way of the insane chase. It was then she realized that the youth had a number of other turkey's on his back. What on earth… her brow furrowed, head cocking to the side as she tried to make out the scene in front of her. She caught the scent of the boy, realized he was a pack wolf but that didn't help her out too much. "Er… do you need some help?"

Wendigo Klein

Wendigo landed in a flutter of feathers and had just enough time to glance back at the woman before the frantic tutting of the turkey captured his attention again. Had he not been on a mission he would have picked up on the things that set Jynn apart from him and been fascinated by them, but he had eyes and ears only for the turkey. He leaped after it, keen on the hunt, but managed to throw a reply over his shoulder in the meantime. "Sure! You hold it down I'll peel off a drumstick!"

Jynn was struggling to follow the youth's words and line of thinking but she was eager to make good on her offer to help. So she readied herself and timed her leap so that her front paws landed on the turkey's back and her jaws at its throat where she swiftly bite through its flesh nearly to the spine. There was a mess of blood as the creature weakened. It only made sense to her to pull parts off the creature when it was dead. It never even entered her thoughts that the boy might want to keep the bird alive. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed a number of prey animals scattering at the ruckus. The prairie dogs diving into their burrows and the pronghorn scattering. Only the bison seemed unphased.

Wendigo's eyes lit up as the woman got hold of the bird. This was it, they got it! "Get it, get it, get it!" He doubled back and sought to crowd Jynn by also reaching for the turkey's throat.  Naturally he was going to kill it since it was his turkey. It was awfully nice of her to grab it for him.

His excitement turned to shock as the turkey collapsed in a dead heap. "Yes! Yes! Ye- HHHHHAA-" He gasped as though Jynn had just murdered his mother. Wendigo began to hyperventilate as he backpedaled away from Jynn in horror. This was terrible, this was the worst thing that ever happened to him in his whole entire life. This woman was evil.

He sat in the dirt a quivering, whimpering mess surrounded by feathers and covered in turkeys. Wendigo's whimpers got quieter and quieter as his thoughts spiraled and then all of a sudden he was on his feet with a full-throated roar that shook his whole body. The insides of his ears turned red as rage boiled to the surface and the whites of his eyes stood out sharply against his dark markings. He hated her! He hated this woman who would steal his kill and ruin his day! Wendigo lunged for Jynn in a blind fury. There was no rhyme or reason to his attack, he was just attacking. If she didn't move he'd run straight into her left shoulder and start biting the shit out of her neck.

Flee Attempt

Jynn has attempted to flee!

Her attempt was SUCCESSFUL!

Come down, come down sweet reverence

Jynn released her hold on the bird, stepping away as she licked the blood off her teeth. "There now you can get your drumst-" The child shrieked and Jynn blinked rapidly as she tried to process what was wrong. It sounded like he wanted to eat part of it so she'd assumed it wasn't a pet but at the blood curdling look the boy gave her she realized she made a mistake. "Oh, oh sorry, I didn't mean-" She didn't get a chance to finish as the boy lunged for her. With a yelp Jynn spun on her heels and sprinted across the prairie, just managing to dodge the boy's attack. Her long legs ate up the distance, slowing only as she came to the brambles and quietly stepped inside to hide.
