Let Loose, Get Freaky

The stranger seemed interested and appreciative of her odd habits, which gave Peregrine a certain sense of relief. She was more used to being ridiculed about it, and then responding with her usual lack of tack, the ensuing flight and pursuit... Yeah, it wasn't a good time. They fact that he wanted to know more was even better, and she was gleeful to speak about her trade, despite knowing it bored the hell out of most. "Oh, two or three weeks usually, sometimes the best stay for up to six, but I'm still learning. I trade other things for meals too, and they're all different. Herbs, fish, even clay once." She gave a tiny laugh, almost a scoff. That was an odd customer, for sure. "Everything needs to be just so. But I and some companions of mine are doing what we can to figure it out. This poor pig was just another lesson." She prodded another paw at the meal in question, giving it an appreciative grin. Sure, she still had dark dreams about the way it had paddled through the breaking surf, exhausted, knowing that to return meant death by her jaws but to stay meant exhaustion and eventual drowning.

She changed the subject. "So, what's your name, stranger? And where are you from?" She knew it was nosy, but she didn't care. Brevity was important for those who did not mind walking out on if if they found you to be boring. Besides, she cared less about the wolves he shared company with, those evident among the other scents on his coat, than the lands he called home. Particularly what might be found there. She was always on the lookout for new contacts, after all. Even if this man was not interested, gossip sat on the forefront of discovery, and she'd thank him for any new bits of information spared. "My name is Peregrine, by the way. I have a friend somewhere around, an orange lemur. If you happen across one, I'd prefer you not attempt to eat her. She's a guide of sorts, and bound to be bitter in taste." She decided to tease Tsiry, even in her absence. She couldn't resist. She hoped wherever she was about in the forest, she heard it and grew irritated.
