controlling me

His breath was strained, his heart racing.. his eyes tunnel visioning on the trajectory ahead of him. He would find the bison, throw himself at one.. maybe get a few new scars and a concussion that would hopefully stop his mind from racing. Although, this did not seem like the sanest of plans.. it was the only solution Elias could see to his current problem. Hunting larger prey had always had a nifty way of sating his mind, bringing him focus.. regardless of whether or not it ended in food.

His eyes narrowed as his head lowered down even more, his shoulders rolling forward as each paw gripped the earth beneath him and pulled it towards him.. he was running across the knolls as fast as he could, pushing his muscles to their fastest capabilities. He had to burn off this adrenaline, and get rid of the ghost currently haunting him.

When the voice of the feline broke him out of his own mind, the fool tripped. He did not see the feline coming up on his side, he was so focused on what was going on ahead of him. He never really had concerns for becoming prey himself- his family were bear hunters, after all. His guard had been let down and the sudden surprise caused his paws to lose their placement while running up hill, sending him falling chest first into the ground. The barbaric looking, gray man could feel slight tenderness at the base of his chest from the impact with the earth, but he did his best to ignore the bruising that was sure to be left there and rolled onto his side so that he could see the cat that had called out to him.

He only caught the end of what she was saying, something about wanting spoils..

Dumbfounded, he gave her a nod. He wasn't sure how useful she could be in hunting, but.. in all honesty, he was simply thankful for the company and for the way she shocked him out of his bloodlusting mindset. He could do this, right? He could work with others..? He had done it before, on these very same knolls. It had just been so long..

Then, two ravens appeared in the sky of opposite coloration. It was certainly a sight to see, and for a moment.. it reminded him of his coal black father, and the white woman he'd fell in love with. Was that Dominus and Spirit soaring above? Had his father finally decided to show his face and help him..? Crows were deeply tied in with Dominus' heritage, Elias' aunt having befriended one as a pet. The idea was very plausible for the idealistic brute.

When the other wolf came into view, his attention was redirected. There was something mystical about the woman with the way she spoke, and again.. he was simply thankful to have something real to focus on.. if... either of them were real. Come to think of it, it was an odd pairing... was this something new he was fabricating into his reality?

Then, the incredible presence of the tusked man he'd ran with before tugged at his heavy heart. Just when he was beginning to question everything again, something solid had made it's way into the circumstance to bring him a bit of hope. For some reason, the strength, respect and kindness that Aki had showed him the first time they'd met had always been a bit of a.. personal goal for Elias himself to achieve. He wasn't sure if he'd ever run into Aki again, but of all days for them to run into each other- of course, it would be one where Elias was barely hanging on.

A bit of nervousness was tugging at his skin beneath his cold, emotionless expression. He hid it well, but he felt it and was fighting it off as best he could. Elias got to his paws, standing on his exceptionally long legs as he faced the small gathering that had accumulated around him. Right, he could do this.

He looked around after Aki asked his question and smirked. "Looks like a hunting party to me, and I am glad you asked. A buffalo would be more than enough to feed the lot of us for the night, and together I think we can do it." His bloodgem eyes flashed toward the woman with the crows, "How well can you communicate with them?" He was curious, but also hopeful that it would be a viable option for scouting.
