WILDCARD. Your own scenario! Explore the Drabwurld or simply take advantage of your Locket! |
ii
She isn't the most used to silent walking. Raven hasn't grown up on the ground, and hunting is still a relatively new concept to her. The twig she snaps is on accident, but she doesn't realize what she's done until she sees the beast up ahead already running away.]
Dammit.
no subject
Her footfalls are light upon the soft earth, but not soundless. Not like they would be back home, on terrain she would be much more familiar and comfortable with. For all her training, she is not at an advantage here. And it shows upon her face when she clears through some bushes (their thorns tug at her skirts annoyingly) to come face-to-back with another person.
Seelie or Unseelie, it makes no difference to her. This war has nothing to do with her. But nevertheless, this is wholly unexpected. )
You're clumsy. ( And thus, first introductions are made! She glances in the direction the boar headed off in, nodding. ) Come with me and I'll show you the right way to do it.
( Maybe, she just might share the meat once they catch it, too. )
no subject
I wasn't-- [Raven quickly shuts her mouth then. Coming back with some fresh meat would be a good thing so she hurries up behind her.]
Sorry. I, ugh... I'm not used to hunting. [Raven tries to adjust her steps though, walking lighter here. She's used to a place with no gravity.]
no subject
No matter. Two pairs of hands are better than one. And if she's able to teach this girl how to survive out here, so much the better. Just like she will with her own daughter. )
Then you're about to become familiar with it. ( Leaning down, Lagertha draws her fingers over the tracks left in the earth, and then rises. ) It's heading east. Let's go.
( Walking light will be useful—later. Now, she is taking off at a light jog, not terribly keen on spending all night in pursuit of one boar. )
no subject
But for once it's perhaps good she didn't judge her. Especially if they get meat out of it. Plus learning from her means Raven can try and hunt after this. It seems a useful skill here which is something she needs now that technology is mostly moot. So she tries to keep up as well as she can, trying to see the marks and tracks that the other woman is pointing out.]
How do you know it's the boar?
no subject
At times where it seems like it is, she deliberately slows down, though not by much, granted, to give her some form of reprieve. However small that might be. Both of them need to eat, after all. )
The tracks. Look at them: two half-moons, forked from what looks like a pair of leaves. Like a flower, you could say.
( They look like tulips, tbh. Lagertha has never seen one, but the prints resemble a flower nonetheless. And they are gaining on it. Glancing over her shoulder now, she asks seriously: )
If we push faster, we will be upon it momentarily. Are you able to make it?
( If not, they've still gained a lot of ground. They'll get it, one way or another. )
no subject
Raven spies the designs in the dirt and nods. That must be the boar's print. How Lagertha could decipher that is only telling of the other woman's skill.]
I'm fine, [She admits. She probably would say this even if she wasn't, but the pain was gone, it's just that she can't feel her leg at all.]
