No One Left To Blame It On

*Askan* · 01-10-2021, 07:57 AM

Slowing to a walk, Askan huffed sharply out of his nose. Ever since that girl-Askan didn't know her name, whoops- was torn to shreds by hyenas he'd increased his daily patrols by a lot. It was his job to keep the Hallow's protected, to make sure only invited guests came and went and look at what had done and happened. He didn't blame himself per se, nor had Resin chewed him out for it but in the end the fault could be laid, even if only partially, at his paws. A girl had died on his watch and yeah...he could have done better. There wasn't much else to say about it, to be honest. Except that he'd patrolled back and forth all day and if he had to make the rounds one more time he'd chew his paws off. He needed a change of scenery, something to take his mind off it and...hmm, where was his goose?

For the most part she stuck to him like glue but at some point during his patrol she must have wandered off to do goosy things and just hadn't returned. Not yet at least. He pursed his lips as he stepped forward, his paw resting on the invisible barrier that separated the Hallows from the thin strip of no mans land between them and Habari. He didn't care for her, she was a major pain in his ass but he if he was looking for an excuse to go walkabout for a bit then this was the best he was gonna get.

Heading off, it wasn't difficult to find her scent, she was a stinky ass goose after all. From what he could gleam she'd wandered south towards the Willows, but why? Shrugging, Askan quickly decided he didn't care and pushed on, venturing into the shade of the Willows. And the scene he came across was...something to say the least.

It didn't register in his mind that he recognised the wolf, all his eyes narrowed in on was the fact that there was a woman holding onto his goose's neck. Except that.... well his goose wasn't defenceless. Any other bird would have been a goner, but Squanch was a nasty bitch and thus was beating the ever living shit out of her attacker. Armed with two beating wings, she slapped and whacked the wolf, beating her muzzle, her face and chest like there was no tomorrow. Honking up a ruckus all the while of course. Askan blinked, completely baffled, only to come to his senses soon after.

No one was allowed to attack his goose. She might have been a raging bitch but she was his raging bitch! Stomping forward Askan made his presence known with a sharp bark.

"Oi do you fucking mind?" He snarled, his hackles raised like his prickly porcupine namesake. "Let go!"
