Find me where the wild things are

Her tour of Southern Boreas seemed to always come back. Not that she minded, except the heat, Boreas was beautiful. She moved with Frank on her heels. Their daily agenda today included finding a spot to trap something for dinner and maybe something she could take back to Auster and work on cultivating. She could definitely see some hogs or something enjoying the area. Perhaps there would be some more waterfowl. The area was swampy enough.

Her ears perked at the sound of hogs in the distance. She could hear them snorting and grunting and she stopped with a grin. Having a couple pigs would definitely be a benefit. Not only for their food source but for the fact that if she could domesticate them their manure would be useful for fertilizer. She looked at Frank and nodded. How to trap them though? A pen would make it easier to corner them and get a hold of them so a pen type trap it was.

She turned away from the pigs sounds and started looking through the wooded areas. She would need some logs and branches to start with. She started by dragging larger branches to a nice flat spot. This would be a great spot to trap the pigs in. She could just imagine the smile on her dad's face when she unveiled all the hard work she was putting into making sure Norad would rise and be successful.

With a little luck she had the pleasure of not stumbling to her face, thank the stars for that! Ears erect and listening for anything that sounded out of place. Her paws sank into the soft marsh-like land, making her fur wet and honestly she could have lived without that feeling. But she needed to help the band and the woman who had taken her in easily.

She traveled a short distance from the shrine to the swamplands, drawing closer scents assualted her nostrils. Making her sneeze out quickly, which almost made her tumble back a couple steps. The snorts and commotion within the distance, her stomach gave a slight growl. Almost bumping into another, a quick almost silent apologize slipped forth. Tilting her skull slightly. "So sorry. What are you doing?" She asked with her apology. Fairytale waved her tail to the smaller woman as she waited.

She was in the middle of dragging the branches to a pile while she heard another coming but she didn't care. These were unowned lands and she was set on her task. Besides new wolves meant they could end up with a new friendship blossoming. She saw Frank using his antlers to shove a fallen log closer to her trap spot and gave a grin around her branch. That was before the oncoming newcomer practically bowled her over. She stumbled and dropped her branch turning her face to the newcomer about to tell them how that had been sort of rude. but the apology from the other came first, and that was enough to have Trixy forgiving the albino woman. "That's okay, I am pretty short so I guess I am hard to see."

She gave a grin then before moving to grab the branch she had been dragging. "I'm working on making a pen trap for those pigs you hear. I'm gonna chase 'em in here and see if I cant get a couple alive for livestock purposes. Wanna help?" She grabbed the branch and moved it to the pile. When the other agreed to help she nodded towards the log Frank was pushing. "We are gonna use a few logs like the one Frank has there to be the base, he found a good couple and we are gonna use the branches here to build up the walls to keep them from jumping out when they get in and get scared." She was pretty sure if she put a tunnel on it with branches they would be likely to go right in to escape being chased, then they could collapse the tunnel after they were in and take their pick of the pigs. Trixy knew she wanted at least 2 sows and hopefully 2 boars to start the collection.

She began piling the sticks on the logs in a crisscross fashion as Frank moved the larger logs into a trapezoid-like formation. This could take them a minute to do.

She felt ashamed in a sense of self. Not being more careful especially within new lands like this. The other woman spoke, as eyes turned to the small deer creature. Her head tilted slightly once more, he seemed to be helping with stacking the logs. Fairytale's tail danced wildly behind her. As she looked, straining her eyes to focus onto the logs. Turning then to the other woman. "I will help best I can. My eyes aren't the best I will admit."

Her voice became slightly shaky, scared the other would not want the help. She found a few logs and dragged them close, watching as each one was stacked. Placing one on top of the other with effort, taking a minute or so to take a look at her work so far before continuing to stack. "Like this?"

She glanced up at the other woman's handiwork and grinned. "Looks perfect! Just make sure to weave the branches tight so they can't squeeze through them. I'm gonna start working on the funnel tunnel to make sure that it is perfect to collapse behind them when they are all in." She gave a grin. She had no reason to prod about the other's disability. That would be rude.

She moved, grabbing a branch and started laying it in a diagonal on the log, near the opening of the four logs. She then started laying them one over the other, weaving their stems and leafy parts together carefully. This needed to work but also be able to be pushed in and close up when it got pushed in. After that was accomplished she moved to help the other woman finish the walls. the trap would be primitive but should do just fine for the purpose of catching a few pigs. Hopefully they weren't giants though.

Fairytale listened, watching as best as she can. Listening to the other woman speak out about her own handiwork had made a grin spread across her lips. Now just to figure out how to weave them together. That would be the tricky part. Carefully watching Bellatrix weave the other smaller stems, moving back away and studying her handiword. She was proud. Very proud at that. It wasn't easy work to say the least, ears perked forwards.

She continued to work on the sturdy walls, making sure that they would be strong enough with what they were going to work together to trap. She didn't let her disabilities to determine what she was able to do and not do. No that wasn't who she was. Deep down she known she'd put her best paw forward with everything she had done.

She grinned as she worked quietly, tail erect and wagging. Nothing made her happier than making new friends and working for her future home. She finished lacing some branches together and glanced at the wall the albino fae was working on. Trap looked good. "Looks perfect! Now we just need to sneak up on the pigs and scare them in. Then Frank there can collapse the tunnel after they are in the trap." She gave the other girl a smile and moved to hop up and over the wall to the outside of the trap. She then turned and quietly offered the near blind fae a paw for help off the wall. She didn't mind.

After they were both on the other side Trixy smiled and started leading the way with a small wag to her tail towards the pigs. Once she could see them she dropped into a stalking crouch. She quietly whispered "Sneak around behind them and try not to startle them so we can get them in the trap, when I holler we chase them towards it." With that she started slinking to the left, around the edge of the clearing towards the backside of the pigs so she could push them towards the trap. She was pretty sure that they had this in the bag. Though then lassoing them and leashing them would be a whole new issue after they were caught. That was an issue for later though.

These pigs looked tiny too. They would make perfect pets for the packs.

Fairytale noticed the grin from Bellatrix, she continued to do her job as trying to tie the logs together. "Thank you." The young female was excited and happy all at once, it was a new feeling but it was a welcomed feeling. A smile was offered as she followed that of Bellatrix. Her ears erect and listening to what she had to say. Fairytale would hope that she would not fail Bellatrix and the task at hand. Her tail danced behind her as a nod was given. "I hope I don't mess this up for you Bellatrix." Fairy had thoughts that she wouldn't fail.

She crept threw the shadows far enough away from the pygmy pigs. Her eyes trained on them although they were slanted and squinted tightly just so she could focus. The young girl was excited though to see how well she could help with completing this task. She hunkered down against the ground awaiting the signal.

Trixy hunkered down and waited, watching for Fairy to get into an optimal position. Once Fairytail was in position she tensed. A breath then a moment to ready and make sure Fairy was ready wordlessly. She didn't want to strain the other hunter or for her to get hurt, since pigs could be unpredictable but these likely would just run with their size. "NOW!"

A shout and then she was surging towards the pigs, no longer concealing her sounds. No the louder they were the more likely they would get the pigs to run in the direction they wanted. The squeals of terror from the pigs drove the pied fae on. They were doing exactly what she wanted. Her legs worked to drive her on, keeping her eye on the rears of the pigs. The were squealing and running, right for the trap. She could see the trap in the distance. It was going beautifully.

Hunting was always something that the girl enjoyed, something about it. Something so strong and so deadly laid right there in front of her. Her muscles clenched for the hunt that was about to take place, not really a hunt. But something all together. Something that helped the two strange women.

As soon as she seen Bellatrix take off, Fairytale also allowed her paws to carry her across the ground. Trusting herself, the land around her and most of all her paws. Ears perked straight forwards listening to the squeals of surprise. The trap. She needed to stear them to the trap.

She nipped carefully at the pigs, barking and yipping. Steering them right into the trap. Her body jumping over sticks and branches when she needed too, her eyes squinted the entire time. Although, a headache was forming and honestly her eyes hurt. She had needed to see this threw.

They drove them on, a team working in tandem. This is the way dogs herded sheep or goats, but they were wolves. The albino woman pushed and did her best to herd them in the way of their trap, with Trixy working hard to do the same. The moment the trap was in sight the pigs ran for the safety of the fake brush tunnel. A smirk crossed trixy's face.

A bark was given once all the pigs were in. Which brought Frank in, laying on the Tunnel to keep them inside the walls of the trap. SUCESS! They had done it! Now all they needed to do was sort them out. Trixy came skidding to a stop, panting her exertion. She needed to catch her breath. She moved slower now to hop up on a wall. Her dual colored eyes on the pigs inside as they ran in circles around the trap walls and tried to jump out, but were too short. She started to count them quickly. "We did it! Looks like we got exactly five of them. That's a good number. Bet they will make great livestock once they calm down too! Look how small and cute they are!" Her excitement was barely contained as she smiled at the other small fae.

Now all they needed to do was get them leashed up and sorted out. She knew she needed a sow and a boar though, preferably two sows but if the other girl needed them then she wouldn't take two sows.

Excitement raced all threw Fairytales small figure, her heart thumped beneath its cage, her widened eyes laced with that same excitement. From the thrill of the hunt that her and the other smaller woman had shared. Although they did not harm the pigs who continued to squeal in panic and confusion, which in turn caused to silvery albino woman to pin her ears back. An attempt to block out the sharp and even though they were little their calls still stung. Frank collapsed the entrance, blocking them in then as Bellatrix came up and stood upon the corral they had made.

Fairytale did it! She helped! "Their hollaring and crying out may attract something dangerous. Don't you think?" She couldn't help as the words flew out before she could stop them. Going to stand up on her hind legs, trying to do her best to calm them, then a thought captured her from doing so. She had taken notice how they were eating some of the plants and fallen fruit. "What if we offer them fruit and grasses? I mean they might be hungry after the scare they had.. And might show them that we don't want to cause them anymore stress."
