[She's traveling to find Clarke and the rest of the other Seelie 100. She doesn't like being divided, and if there's somewhere they can all go that would be better. There's a small camp of the Unseelie group to the east, but with her brace she's trying to do some scouting. She hasn't seen anyone, yet, but she is on the lookout. Having an Unseelie shard isn't safe in these parts.

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.

( At first, she can't see the girl. Some bushes have obscured her from view, and for all Lagertha knows, she is in truth a wolf, or even a bear. This explains why she doesn't immediately cross the meadow and venture headlong into the thicket, because that would be stupid. So she circles around, trying to get downwind of what she still very much perceives to be a predator—seeing as the boar ran off like its tamer brethren, squealing in fear.

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. )

[She stands there a little shocked to see the other woman-- she reminds her of a grounder, but a grounder wouldn't be so willing to help her. For a moment she stands there and looks from the retreating beast to the woman that is clearly more adapt at this than she is.]

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.]

( Wasn't what? Intending to send dinner scrambling off into the bush? Lagertha can well-believe that. But upon closer inspection, this girl doesn't seem to know what she's doing out here. One, she isn't armed properly in order to hunt the sort of game she's observed in this forest. Two; well, her confusion.

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. )

[She's not expecting the sudden movement, and it's a lot harder for her to run with a him leg, even with the shoddy brace she has, but Raven won't point that out. Raven starts to follow behind her, a little shocked she somehow is in this position, but the woman while tough seems willing to help at least. It's not what she's expecting especially given how things are developing with the Grounders back home, something this woman definitely resembles.

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?

( It doesn't take long to become evident to Lagertha that the girl is having a bit of trouble keeping up. She is neither unkind nor cruel in instances such as these, because injuries happen. Often. If they are exacerbated, it might lead to becoming lame in one or both legs, or even death. Every now and again she glances swiftly back at Raven out of the corner of her eye to make sure their pace is not too gruelling for her.

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. )

[She's glad Lagertha isn't doting on her or making this any more awkward. Raven has only recently been injured, and this isn't something she's handled the best emotionally, choosing to just fight through it or ignore it. In this case she is a little slower, but they seem to be fairly close again.

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.]
