No One Left To Blame It On

The goose had no mercy, even after Viper's grip let her go. The goose turned around and continued to wail at her in any way she could, beating her with the wings and pecking at her with the beak. Viper certainly could have ran away. But other than her desire to take it home on a silver platter for her pack, she was getting jumbled and confused with the goose going wild on her body. It felt like the whole world was shaking around her as she saw a wing, and an eye, and a beak, all a jumbled blur of the goose's color and feathers.

And the brute that interfered? He just stood there and laughed pretty much. Had Viper even remembered her first meeting with Askan, it probably wouldn't have affected her actions towards him now. Viper was good at moving on from things in her past, or at least most things. Had Askan thought her rude or bratty or visa versa from her to him, it wouldn't have made her sour to his appearance now. Viper also wasn't a cry baby though either, so his idle standing by and smirking wouldn't cause her to cry out for help. Though it was pretty rude to watch someone as they were beaten by, well, anything.

Askan had mentioned the goose was his, and Viper had been aware that some wolves used other animal companions for battle purposes and the goose certainly seemed to live up to an offensive nature. Viper herself didn’t think she could wrangle any creature willing to fight for her. She either wanted to kill things for food or was just not cut out to care for anyone other than herself really. Still, realizing that the brute had the goose around for personal reasons made Viper pout to the thought that there was no way she could take it and go back home to Ashen. As soon as the goose calmed, even just a little, her expression changed to disappointment as she went to announce, "Now I- don’ have anything to take back to my pack. " it was genuinely a down feeling even if Askan couldn’t really care. But Viper felt like she had a continuous string of bad luck that would never run out.
