So yeah, maybe Sephira was in a grumpy mood today. She could almost bear to admit it, even. She was a hair's breadth away from just letting it all go. After all, Kai was walking quietly enough, so she got the sense that he wouldn't be the worst hunting partner under normal circumstances. But the dim brute just had to keep runnin' his mouth. "You'd look an awful lot prettier without that scowl on your face. That's all I'm getting at." Her head whipped sideways, and her glare simmered. Excuuuse me? Oh, he did not just say what I think he did... Her scowl grew into half a snarl, and if looks could kill... But the ducks were right there and it came down to tearing this impudent little shit a new asshole, or getting a meal. With her, food usually won out. Luckily they both made it to the bank without incident. And yes, she did spend the first long few minutes stewing on various mental images of what she could construct as proper penance for Kai, but as the ducks began drifting closer her focus shifted to the task at hand. Closer, closer, and then... finally. She saw Kai shift a glance towards her from the corner of her eye and took it as about as much signal as she was going to get. Both wolves tensed, then leapt. The water exploded in a spray of chilly droplets and feathers. The alarmed squawking of the birds was only just audible over their splashing. Sephira felt her jaws grave a wing, but she was buffeted by the feathers and the bird dropped away. "Ohh, no ya fuckin' don't," she swore under her breath. There was no earthly way she would lose her catch after a hunt like this. She charged after it through the shallows as it struggled to fly. Two of it's feathers seemed to be bent or mangled, so it only managed a skipping motion over the water's surface. Sephira plunged through the wakes, toes squelching amongst the mud until she was close enough to leap. She came down upon the bird's back like a falling boulder, pinning it with one final garbled honk beneath the waves. She was quick to snatch it up and shake. Soaking wet, she made her way back to shore. She left a trail of driplets in the dirt to mark where she passed, and her ears were pressed low in displeasure. She did not spare Kai a glance as she passed him, not really caring one way or the other if he got a catch of his own. Well, actually, her nose made that pretty clear but she had her mind set on being petty. Now she was cold and wet, and the only thing on the shewolf's mind was finding a peaceful sunny clearing to enjoy her meal in. Preferably, one far away from him. -Exit?- "Talk" "You" Think |
