Running in the woods

[roseheerkens.livejournal.com]

Time: May 25th, very early morning
Place: Outside
Status: Private (Rose, Kirby)
Summary: Rose goes for a run and isn't alone

Rose left the manor very early, the sun wasn't even up. She'd decided that this was safest if she didn't want to encounter other inhabitants during her runs. The incident with Belial had showed her that even her sharp senses couldn't keep her safe from other supernatural creatures. She couldn't stay holed up in the manor for more than a few days, but she couldn't risk endangering her pack either.

She crept deep into the woods and sniffed the air carefully before she hid her clothes in a hollow under a tree root, covering them with leaves so nobody would stumble upon them by accident. Then she changed into Cloud and shook once.

It felt good to be on four legs and in the woods again. She immediately began taking in all the scents on the forest ground, hunting for trails, hunting for breakfast. The air was cool and slightly damp and a light breeze ruffled the leaves of the trees.

Identifying a promising trail, Cloud followed it at a fast trot, nose to the ground...

Was that even a wolf at all? Kirby had never had much on an interest in zoology, except, maybe, in certain kinds of reptiles and critters with body parts or secretions that could be used to complement her weaponry. For all she knew, it could just as well be some breed of dog.

Whatever it was, it was pretty. And if it was a dog, it might be tame.

Carefully, she tried to sneak a little closer.

The moment she saw and heard the woman try to get closer, Cloud was up on all four feet, ears twitching. The next moment she had grabbed her breakfast between her teeth and bolted.

She didn't know what intentions the woman had but best not to risk anything. She ran as fast as she could to get deeper into the woods, aways from harm and to a place where she could enjoy her breakfast and relax a bit before she had to go back to her clothes.

Well, that clearly hadn't went the way she had intended. What a pretty animal, though. Kirby wondered if she could somehow manage to trap it. The pelt would have to be worth something, or, more so, the live animal, probably.

Too bad she didn't really have any experience in trapping four-legged prey.
