Call Me Catnip
Hjarrandi AW!

Valkyrie's expression changed to one of immense dislike as she eyed the place she thought the cat was hiding. There did seem to be more than coincidence at work here. She wasn't sure what to make of their feline magnetism, but perhaps it was time to bring the matter to Hjarrandi's Hexe. She told her compatriots as much. "Perhaps it is a sign or a matter of hamingja." If it was the latter she would have to see if Alfrun had any advice on the matter. "I will ask Alfrun when we reach cam-"
A yowl split the air in front of her and then a cat exploded out of the tall grasses to her left. While she'd expected an attack, she hadn't expected it to come from there. Caught off guard by the nearness of the cougar, Valkyrie had no choice but to recoil away from it. To stand still or turn to face it was take her life into her hands; it would have been on her in an instance and she would have been helpless once captured in its grasp.
No sooner had she backed out of harm's way did another cougar slipped into view and began to mill around the first. This one came from the direction she had guessed the first time. By its appearance Valkyrie was able to conclude that the newest cat was quite a bit younger than the first. A mother and son, perhaps?
The young one seemed uncertain. He acted as though he wanted to engage but didn't know where to start or which wolf to target. His mother seemed pissy, but if Valkyrie had her guess she was just tired of her son's testiness and willing to go on her way without a fight if she could.
When the young one got too close Valkyire snapped and swatted at it which immediately earned a charge from the mother, who feinted an attack in order to force Valkyrie away from her cub. Though she bared her teeth at the mother, Valkyrie did back away. Cats were tricky; frontal assaults were a terrible idea so if they wanted to win this they would have to choose their attacks with care.
"So, ladies," she said with a dark smile, her eyes never leaving the cats. "What do you think we could get for that cub at market?" Momma kitty would make someone a fine coat, an arsenal of weapons and badass jewelry, and baby? Well, who didn't want an exotic pet? Valkyrie herself had a macaque. With the proper training it would make someone a fine pet. Someone, preferably, with a den full of wares they were willing to part with.

This character has a noticeable Icelandic accent!
Valkyrie also has a female melanistic japanese macaque named Inga. Unless she's mentioned IC it's safe to assume she's not with her master.
It can be assumed that Valkyrie has a bear skull mask hanging from a strap around her neck at all times.
