Scarborough Fair

Peregrine had kept her distance from the strange male. She'd seem him at a distance thanks to the rolling topography, and thought him at first on a hunt. Hoping for help getting a bite to eat, she'd come closer. Sometime in between she noticed that his hunting methods were... unusual, to say the least. At first she thought he was alone, observing the herd very carefully. He spent a great deal of time testing and moving the animals, and odder still they couldn't seem to escape. What held them in place? Before she could come close enough to make sense of the grove surrounding them, a bird took to wing and began cawing out a message. A trade fair? Her mind jolted, painful memories of her dreams for her pack stirring in the back of her mind. Peregrine, now ravenously curious, decided to come closer at last. She saw at last that the trees she'd thought a natural part of some grove were actually carefully entangled, with no gap large enough for the elk to escape. Peregrine's jaw loosened, slack with wonder. What on earth had this male done? If I could do this, my hunting woes would be a lot easier to manage, she grumbled to herself. What else did the stranger have in store? Mind alight with fascination, Peregrine at last crept out of cover. She called out to the male from afar, quietly so as not to antagonize his animals but loud enough that he would notice her presence. Tsiry perched on Peregrine's shoulders, just as fascinated as her canine companion. She had never seen anything like it. "My, oh my," Peregrine mused in a low, casual tone. It could not keep the sparkle from her mercury eyes, however. "This is quite the sight. I hope I would not be intruding to ask you a few questions about this gathering you're hosting." Her voice trilled with quiet astonishment. It was not often the Peregrine found herself truly entranced by a new experience, having ranged so far, but this was certainly an exceptional occasion. |
