Who gets the meal?

Keahi lays near the hot pools of water, mind drifting lazily along as her eyelids slowly march downward. Homesickness has lodged itself firmly in her heart and, as her lids close, her island homeland bursts to life in front of her closed eyes. The vibrant flowers call to her and she can even smell the sulfur filled air around the volcanos. A tear slips free and slides down her cheek, mingling in the red fur on its path to the ground as she walks the paths of Hawai’i once again.

Suddenly, a loud snarl rips the red wolf from her daydream and causes her to, mournfully, open her eyes. With a sigh, she gathers her legs under herself and stands, a heavy sadness lingering around Keahi as she moves to find the source of the noise. She half expects to find Kotori fighting something. The roar of a grizzly and Kotori’s scent affirms her suspicions and the red woman shakes her head while a smile grows on her lips. What better to get rid of the blues then to fight a dangerous predator?

Legs churn as Keahi races toward the fight, silently appearing behind the mad bear. She trusts Ko, has fought with him enough to be able to read him and, because of this, she rushes in to harass the creature’s hindquarters. Her goal is to get the bear to try and turn to face her so that Kotori is left with an opening to attack its neck. However, she is also ready for the bear to completely swing toward her if Kotori wishes to take backend. Either way, Keahi is ready.
