Low Life

With a new land claimed for the season, there was much patrolling and much marking to be done. Kaino had chased a few curious wolves away from the plains and had pissed just about everywhere that she could manage before the tank ran dry. There were furrows upon the various trees where the fae had used her claws to make visual markers. Anyone that didn't see or smell the marks was a complete dumbshit or didn't care about consequences. When a new scent blew to her on the breeze, the woman rolled her eyes and prepared for another chase or a fight. Then the scent clicked within her mind, mint and blue eyes widening. Caedes?

There was a bit of pep in her step as Kaino followed the scent. How long had it been since she'd seen her childhood friend? As she padded through the longer grasses of the plains, a snake went sailing over her head. Reflexively, the lavender and charcoal woman ducked. Good thing, too. A moment later a roar reverberated through the land and a massive grizzly bear also went sailing over her head. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

The bear had leaped over her rather than bowl her over and Kaino blinked before raising her head above the grass. The grizzly made it's way towards something and only when the hulking brown mass shifted sideways did she see that it's target was Caedes. Well... that simply wouldn't do.

With the beasts attention on the scarred brute, Kaino made her move. A few bounds and a might leap sent the woman soaring. She landed upon the bears back, jaws biting down hard at the base of its skull. Claws dug in, holding on as best as she could. The fae's head whipped back and forth and blood flew, spattering the gently swaying blades of grass with iron rich claret. The ursine roared its displeasure and began to thrash, but Kai rode it like a bull, her body limber and rolling with each movement. Only when she pulled a great swath of skin and fur away did she push off of the bears spine with nimble paws, landing beside Caedes with barely a stumble. The fae's bobbed tail flicked up above her spine and she snarled loudly.
