dark mists are cloaking what the eyes can see
Éldi chuckled but swiftly quieted down as he noticed Valkyrie's worried glance to the horizon. The reason soon became apparent as she spoke of a pack that lived in a strange, metal cave system. "Metal?" He found his own gaze turning in the direction she'd been looking, even though he couldn't see anything through the fog. "Hmmm… that is definitely strange. Sounds like it would be worth a closer look but perhaps on fuller bellies." Éldi was always up for an adventure but he was adamant about starting one without a good and proper breakfast.
I know it will be difficult, but do you think you can contain yourself for one measly little hunt?
He grinned back at Valkyrie. "I make no promises, but I'll see what I can do. C'mon, this way." He moved swiftly across the terrain, his gait low and even to avoid making to much noise. As they got closer to the source of the scent he crouched lower and began to stalk forward, gesturing toward a tree crowded with turkeys. They were bunched together on the lower branches of the tree. Every so often one would stir and ruffle it's feathers before settling back down into slumber.
He wasn't entirely sure he could leap that high but that wasn't the point. They needed to get the birds to take off and scatter then snap up a straggle. Éldi licked his lips, glanced at Valkyrie and then raced forward, taking a flying leap at the lowest branch while howling at the top of his lungs. The birds scattered in an explosion of feathers and alarmed squawking.
