From The Woods

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Lorazys moved silently through the edge of the forest, looking for what remains of food she can have before she starts the pilgrimage to the rumored Forest Across The Land. She spied a rabbit by itself and ran for it, pouncing it and then sinking her teeth into it. She picked it up in her jaws and began to head out past the treeline. Lorazys normally preferred to eat her prey in the cool shade, but the sun just felt nice. She laid the limp creature onto the floor and laid down, with the rabbit between her front paws and tore its flesh as she ate it. I wonder how long this pilgrimage will take...

A pair of pointed feline ears perked up at the sound of movement.... Kitt's whole head followed the ears as he looked up from his place amongst the tall grasses of the meadow...

Shaking his head lightly he settled back down, the warm sun washed over him, purring happily he stretched out... Then again, he hadnt imagined it this time... somone else was in the meadow as well.... Sitting up to his full height of 50cm he looked over the grass to where he could hear the movement from.... frowning he settled back down onto his haunches, ready to run...

Wolves normally didnt come out onto the meadows... what was this one doing here?

Amadarie extended a brilliant tawny wing, then, with her head bent down, proceeded to preen herself, seperating delicate feather from delicate feather with a hard beak. It had been a tiring flight. Her talons nervously clinched every so often, tearing into the flesh of the old tree branch. For some time now she had been following the wild cat. From a safe distance of course. He was one who....well, he was one of the forest residents who had always fascinated her. They had never met, never exchanged so much as a far-off word. But Amadarie's hawk nature tended to be unusual at best.

Her keen senses perked when the wild cat readied to run, settling back down onto his haunches. Something had startled him. What's he looking at?

Then she followed with innate perception his line of sight- and the wolf female came into view.

Oh. Well how very curious.

Shiro woke up and crawled halfheartedly out of his makeshift den.
"Ooooh... bright.... too bright..."
He stumbled down the hill his den was on. Slowly his eyesight adjusted to the light.
"Mmm... at least it is warm out here... hey look... a birdie..." He muttered, still groggy from just waking up. Birdie didn't look like a normal birdie...
Neither did, what at first glance looked like, the big grey furball that was now injesting a rabbit. Now he could see... he guessed it was a female... her clearly.
"Well, it looks like my place of exile has wolves in it too..."
Since the sun was bright and his den was a few taillengths behind him, he decided to watch her eat.
Nothing special going on today...

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Lorazys finished up the the rabbit and left the bones and organs on the ground and got up. She licked her lips before she got up and continued out. It was time to head out west to find a new home. Lorazys took two steps before she smelled something behind the bushes. She turned to it and growled.

[KittKat chunky~]

Always follow your nose.... a saying Kitt's mother had told him when he was still a kitten.... though the saying had got him through most of his life so far, it would seem the same saying could cause trouble....

In this case he had literally followed his nose to the scent of organs and left over scraps... the perfect meal for a witty scavenger, those mice where hard to catch after all.... it seemed however, that the previous owner had not yet entirely left.... Stopping in his tracks Kitt ducked down into the grass again; the wolf was growling at somthing further into the forest... maybe.... maybe if he was quick enough he could snaffle one of those kidneys and run off with it to eat.....
Or maybe Miss wolfy there could catch me and eat ME....
Kitt pondered... dare he do it?

Amadarie cocked her head at the curious sight of the growling wolf and hiding, hunching wild cat. The sweet smell of fresh kill had long since wafted to her nostrils, and it made the hawk's tummy gurgle with desire....It had been maybe, one...two days since she had last eaten...And the wolf appeared to have left the organs of her kill ungaurded. Maybe wolves preffered to eat only pure flesh.

...When she saw this development, hunger quickly replaced all of Amadarie's other thoughts.

She leaped from the branch and unfurled her wings before flapping slightly to gain some altitude and direction. Then she proceeded to circle overhead the meadow, scanning the terrain below, waiting, waiting for the right moment to dive....

[Alice The Necrofox]

"Okay, enough of this."
Shiro yawned, stretched, and moved up a tree across the way from the wolf, making no move towards the food there. He placed his ear onto the ground, listening for the pit pat of a mouse or shrew. Not hearing it, he moved over to a different section, still circling the wolf and keeping him within eye sight. Then he saw a hawk dive for the intestines that were still on the ground.
"This should be interesting..." he said under his breath.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Lorazys turned her head and saw the hawk, but paid it no mind, as there was more choice meat over in the bush. She got low and slowly tread towards the bush, her cold, blue eyes, just hungering for the sight of the food. As she got closer, she could barely see it, a nice, plump, juicy-looking wildcat. Her mouth watered at the thought of such a voluptuous meal that would probably tie her over for the day. Lorazys growled as she leapt at the bush.

[KittKat chunky~]

A mewl of surprise burst from the bush and a furred blur dived to the left of Lorazys, missing the wolf by scant inches Kitt zigzagged left and right through the long grass...
"Okay...... She does want to eat me..."
Jumping through a thicket of particularly tall grass and brambles he leapt onto his haunches and cocked an ear, ready to start running again.... had the wolf been able to keep up?

[x]

((Wait a moment.  I never said that I actually dived, that's a bit of godmodding there.  But no matter, because I was going to dive eventually anyway. I'll just keep going...))

Amadarie rocketed into the nearest tree at great speeds, almost losing the intestines in the turmoil, but managing to right herself and take up a spot on a high branch, near the trunk. There was enough space to carefully set down her meal without holding it, and no bugs or other nuisances. She dug into the entrails fervently. Maroon blood quickly coated her yellow beak.

As she ate, she watched what was going on below with interest, though knowing it was not her place to interfere.

[Alice The Necrofox]

(( *facepaw* okay, I need to read posts better. I think that is the... i lost cound. I apologize and will read the posts people make better.))

Shiro sits on the grass, amused by the procedings. No one was atacking him, he was relatively hidden, and there was a hungry wolf out there.
Nothing to do... maybe he should go find some food...
Nah, its much more entertaining to watch them.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Lorazys stopped before the bramble bush and growled into it before walking back out of the trees. She looked up at the sun and the open fields in front of her. She sighed and walked west, a little upset that she'll have to go hunting again on the way. Lorazys didn't like travelling nor did she enjoy the idea of leaving her home, but there was no choice. She pressed on, not wanting to think of the past, but thought more of her near future and what the journey will hold instore for her.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt stuck his head out from the brambles, ears perked up, ready to run.... he saw the wolf stalking off west......
Ha-cha! luck was on his side!
Jumping out from the brambles Kitt flicked his tail twice and defiance and padded quietly after the wolf... a hawk had snaffled the last of the leftovers, and Kitt had the idea that if he followed this wolf.... an easy meal could be found...
So long as she doesnt try to eat ME again that is....
With that he slinked after the she-wolf, keeping to the shadow of the long grass, and always making sure he was far enough behind the wolf so as not to draw attention to himself..... where was this wolf going anyway?.... more importantly... when would she next catch a meal?

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro had run up about 3 feet behind the wildcat, and was mimicking its walk behind him quietly. He was bored out of his skull.
What is there to do? Nothing. What is happening? Nothing.
Mocking a cat's walk was about as interesting as it gets. And if he attacked him, eh, Shiro was crafty enough not to die.
