Coming back around again

Anthea waited for Mercury as he got to his paws as well, grinning a bit as he came to her side with a brush of his head against her neck. It made her wonder if she'd ever get used to this new level of affection between them or if she'd always feel this skip and patter in her chest from it. She was slightly glad when he opted to catch something fresh with her for their breakfast. She didn't mind sharing her dried meats with him in the slightest and wasn't worried about her store of food, but she had been living mostly off of these dried meats for the majority of her trip so it would be nice to switch it up. Plus, it meant that she was going to get to keep him from going back to The Hallows for a little bit longer. "Okay!" she agreed and after quickly slipping on her bracer that held her dagger she began to lead the charge through the large cedar trees.

"I'm pretty sure I saw an okapi moving this way yesterday. Hopefully it's still near by," she mentioned quietly as they moved. Living on her own, that large of an animal was pretty much out of the question, even with her companion assisting her, but with Mercury joining her she was certain that her luck was going to be much better. Even if they didn't come across the okapi it was likely they'd at least find some kind of prey animal in a forest like this. She kept her gaze sweeping the trees closely for any sign of movement and paid close attention to the scents on the breeze to see if anything caught their attention.
