Pirate Skulls and Bones [joining]

*Maija* · 10-03-2013, 01:34 AM

The conversation - if you could call it that - had led to a part of her unfocused routine that made her feel more like herself. She was doing something that didn't really need assistance, but she knew it would be beneficial in the long run. He answered her question with a 'yes' and made his way to stand next to the carcass. When she realized that he was going to be standing mere inches from her, Maija skittishly moved to the head and neck of the dead doe. It was the first emotion she showed without remorse, but as she was thinking of the potential freshness of her food, it didn't cross her mind.
She watched Taur from the corner of her eyes as she stepped over the graceful head and lowered her own to meet the neck. Her teeth wrapped themselves around the tender meat, increasing the grip of her hold before she slowly raised her maw to regain her height. Body frame took the extra weight by increasing the stance found in her paws before she readied herself to lead the way.
With how it looked, Maija would have to walk to the side of the doe, neck in her vice grip of her blood-stained teeth and her head turned so she would face the woods to her left. She made sure that Taurig had his weight properly distributed before she began to pad in the direction she needed to go. The place she had chosen for a later time to hide her meat was not too far away. Silently, Maija wondered if the King of Tortuga could handle such a task. A slight smirk found its way across her mouth at such a thought, but it hid in the fur that surrounded her clamped jaws and she continued to walk in the weird stance.
It didn't take long to make it to her chosen piece of wood. The ground wasn't hard yet, giving her the ability to break through the surface without putting up a fight. With a glance to Taurig, she lowered her part of the deer to the ground and stepped around its regal head. Once she took in the length of the carcass, Maija padded in a circle that would be big enough to take the entire body. She mentally made a note of the size and began to dig. That first set of scoops made her feel alive and she continued to move the dirt from in front of her, only to have it begin to form small piles on either side of her.
She didn't pay attention to see if Taurig was joining her in the work. Maija was enthralled with the physical challenge she got from it and her muscles began to try and work harder and faster with each massive scoop. She was destined to get the whole deep enough for her prey to not be dug up easily by another carnivore, and she began to growl at the mere idea of her food being stolen.
It all happened at once. Her deep growl, the huge scoop of dirt with both front paws, and a loud rumble of thunder hit the same second in perfect unison. She snapped out of her trance and looked up to the sky. Dark clouds had begun to form, curling and rolling towards each other like cars that were going to wreck. A moist breeze among the wintry winds hit her and Taurig, causing her to realize that a storm had made it to her neck of the woods. Looking down from the sky to slowly meet Taurig's gaze, she snarled and said, "Hurry!" Her scoops became faster and deeper, frantic bits of dirt flying every which way around the golden dame. One thing she disliked was getting wet, especially when she wasn't feeling good.
The hole was there quicker than Maija had anticipated. By then, the clouds were hanging so low and near the trees that she was getting even more frantic. She glanced at Taurig before she scuttled over to the deer carcass and began to drag it towards the newly made hole. The two were able to get it in the ground in record time and piling the dirt back up was faster than digging it out. She patted her half of the dirt down, intending to get it as flat as possible. Once she was satisfied, she looked around to try and find a place to avoid the rain.
Maija hadn't encounter rainy weather since she had decided to remain in the forest, so when it began to drizzle, the effect was indeed breathtaking. In no time, her fur was stuck to her skin, matted in every curve and bone structure that she had been blessed with. Her leaf green eyes looked bigger in their sockets and she slowly cowered from the feeling of the drops on her body. She maintained her icy gaze, but her physical actions proved that she was not enjoying it at all. Ears flattened against her crown as she padded towards a tree that appeared to have a minimal amount of coverage from the storm. She may have known where to go for food and safety, but not when it came to being in the rain.
