It hadn't been very long since they moved to the North lands, which Cloud had to admit was pretty different than his former eastern homeland. Everything here was covered in snow for the most part, and it wasn't...humid, which he was grateful for. It meant he didn't feel uncomfortable at all in his thick coat, and he was glad for that. He decided that today he'd venture from the territory and explore the neighboring lands, if only to find out what kinds of prey he could find in the surrounding areas. His first stop was the woods next door. He figured he could find all sorts of tree dwelling creatures, and he was sure they'd be easier to hunt since it looked like he could actually climb these trees! Bi-colored gaze looked up in wonder at the twisting branches, and he wondered how it was possible for the trees to do such a thing.
He didn't think about it too hard, however, because a large moving shape in the branches above caught his attention. He paused, glancing up and watching the large thing with wonder. At first, he didn't know what it was until he got a better look. He noticed feathers, and then a naked head....turkey? He had heard about something like that, but wasn't quite sure...ears flicked as he waited to see if it would make a sound, and sure enough, the bird let out a low call as it settled above his head. Hmm...he debated going after it, until something else caught his attention.
Not too far away, he spotted a female wolf, someone unknown to him and certainly someone who hadn't been at the claim meeting. Was this a loner passing through? Or was she looking for his pack? Either way, he remained where he was as he practically held his breath, waiting to see if she'd move on or notice him. |

Bi-colored gaze watched her. She had caught sight of the same bird that he had seen first. His ears laid back, the youth taking a step forward but no more than that. Was she planning on trying to hunt down his bird? Not that age would know it was his of course. But in his head, he did see it first and had mentally claimed it as his own, but she seemed to have the same idea.
He looked up again to see the bird hop to another branch, seemingly unaware of the potential danger it might be in. Judging by the distance between him and the bird, and him and the she-wolf, he decided he could speak just loud enough to not really bother the bird. "That's my bird!" He eyed her, wondering if she cared or not. He also wondered if she knew what she was doing up there. One wrong step and she could come tumbling down at any moment. Would he try to catch her if she did? He wasn't sure. He wasn't exactly in the mood to act as a landing pad today..

His eyes narrowed, ears half laying back against his crown when she spoke. He had spotted the bird first, he was sure. He had come out here to hunt, and he didn't particularly feel like fighting for his targeted prey. He gazed up at her, trying to keep himself from purposefully making the turkey flee. It wouldn't do anyone any good if he did that, he might end up scaring off any other nearby prey as well. And that would work against his favor...
He thought for a moment, gaze shifting from her to the branch she was on, to the turkey's position. It was a few yards away at most, though it was sort of hard for him to tell from his position, but he knew that if she tried to go for it, she'd have to jump to the next branch and the turkey would surely notice her then. Taking a deep breath, he decided to try and bargain with her. "Are you sure you can catch it yourself? If you try to jump towards it, it may notice you. Turkey's also have the tendency to be pretty bold and rude, are you willing to risk it fighting back up there? If it does, you fall. And I doubt you'll get away uninjured. That branch you're on looks sturdy, but I've heard them break and fall from my den. I'm not saying it will break, but you never know." He let that sink in for a moment, bi-colored gaze focused on her.
"What you can do, is decide whether or not you want to work with me. I've hunted many things, and if you let me help you hunt that, then we can share it. You're a loner I take it, so I'm sure you're hungry." His gaze turned back to the turkey before he side eyed her, "Am I wrong?" |
