Peregrine had seen the ship from far off in the distance. It was one of those rare occasions where she was able to keep her focus on one thing long enough to carve a hard line towards it. She only got distracted like, four times. Tsiry was showering her in sarcastic congratulatory remarks and did not notice at first when Peregrine stopped and lifted her snout into the wind. The vessel stood before them, far enough north to still be trapped in ice. Apart from the smell of bitter cold and rusting metal, she caught the faint scents of something edible, yet not exactly... fresh. She had never come across it's likeness before. Intrigued she pressed onward, taking a long moment to figure out how exactly she might clamber aboard. Once on deck she paused, trying to get her bearings and trying to figure out where on earth that scent was coming from! A free meal was a free meal, after all. It is luck and luck alone that stayed her paws, for had she taken one step further death would have been a likely outcome. Instead, she heard the woosh of something moving quickly through the air but had only a heartbeat to wonder What the hell is- CLANG!!
The ringing sound of metal crashing against metal scared at least three years of life right out of her. Scant inches from her nose some... some thing had fallen from the sky only to be dashed to pieces against the deck below. What Peregrine could not identify as a can burst under pressure and it's contents exploded outwards. Something foul smelling and sticky coated her fur, globs of goop sticking to her face, limbs, and chest. It smelled like a horrible mockery of some sort of legume, but it was no honest earthly edible that she'd ever encountered before. Pere backpedaled and snarled in surprised at the unexpected attack. "What in god's green fuck was that?" she cursed, still unsuspecting of anyone or anything other than the the cruelty of the gods. Tsiry had sprang away from her in the instant of the assault and cowered farther back onto the deck. She took one look at whatever covered Peregrine's fur and dropped to the deck, consumed by her laughter.

In what she would later refer to as 'the heat of the moment,' somehow Peregrine had yet to consider that another wolf might be involved. When another woman's voice rang out through the frigid spring air Pere's head whipped up to find it's source. A large woman, fur indistinct at distance but looking mostly grey, looked down at her from over a ledge. Waaaait a minute... The lightbulb lit, and Peregrine had a hard time figuring out if she was angry or impressed at her tactic of finding a meal. She settled for sass in the meantime. "What, are you going to lick it off my fur? I'd ask you to at least buy me dinner first, but if this is your idea of a meal I think I'll pass!" It was true enough though, because her fur reeked. Gods, and her options would probably boil down to bathing in whatever frigid water was still running this far north or putting up with it until it dried and flaked off. No thank you either way! She kept her eyes on the stranger, waiting to see what she made of her short speech. First impressions were everything, after all, and if she were to get mad at Peregrine for accidentally making off with some of her meal, well, at least Pere would have a head start.

It would seem the other woman was just as ready to cross swords as Peregrine was... at least verbally, for now. Peregrine still would not allow herself to relax because, let's face it, even if Peregrine liked the vibe the woman threw off it didn't exactly scream 'kind and stable.' The grey woman professed her hope that the strong stench was coming from Peregrine herself, and in doing so forced out another laugh out. "Not today it's not." After all, she'd smelled worse in the past, even if she preferred not to think about it. Next, the woman offered to lob another can at her. "Well someone's feeling generous!" she called out while taking three exaggerated steps backwards. "Sadly, I think I'll have to decline. Don't take it personally or anything, I just don't trust your judgement!" Who would want to eat slop like this anyways? Okay, so maybe she was pushing it with the sociopath, but who cares! Just another exciting afternoon, right? She was still counting on her head start to save her ass if things turned sour, and thanked her own overconfidence for ensuring her that she was totally safe.
