Out In The Open (closed)

[Blizzard]

Blizzard scowered the frozen lands for something to eat. It appeared as if all the elk had moved from their original spot at the time. She huffed. She was in human form, and she was nude because she had misplaced her clothes. She touched her long fangs because that was a side effect of being a shapeshifter like she was. She used her keen sense of smell to smell for her clothes but they were no where near. She shivered, and looked for her fur coat. Luckily, her sow leopard form made her feet somewhat padded so she couldn't feel the coolness of the snow on her bare feet. She walked through the frozen forest. She could see the frozen gates. Where were her clothes.

[Cilion]

Cil stalks through the forest, bow out and ready, quiver on his back Chera the ashen fox practically invisible as she jogged along side his quick moving form. Sen scouting the sides, about 20 feet to his right. His breath goes becomes heavier as he chases the trail, his game's tracks disapearing in the fresh snow. But the tracks said that the derr was slowing to a walk.

Sen wanders farther off and Cil draws an arrow, coming close to the game he croaches, stiffling the sound of his breathing as he creeps up, drawing the arrow back. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, line the shot, take the killshot, don't ruin the meat, don't let the poor one suffer. He releases the arrow, just a second after Sen barks, the deer jumping, and gone into the woods. Cilion grumbles annoyedly to himself and goes off to find Sen.


(Swapping to Sen) Sen trudges happily through the wood, prancing around happily, he jumps into snow drifts, bored of the hunt, stumbling upon the naked woman his breath gone heavy, he creeps up to and barks loudly and excitedly, then barks a few more times to signal Cil to come. He eyes Blizz sitting down near her and happilly wagging his tail, proud of himself. He tries to nuzzle her leg if she'll allow, then cocks his head, wondering if she wants warmth. Cil gets there, Speaking in Vani "Sen what is i- Oh.." He swaps to common incase she doesn't know Vani. "Oh dear, you must be frozen...Here borrow my coat." his eyes turn an embarresed pink, his cheeks doing so too, and he stares above her head for her modesty.

[Blizzard]

(This is before by the way)
Blizzard looked at him with a greatful smile and petted the dog "I'm fine. I just have to morph and it appears that my clothes have been misplaced. I think they're somewhere along here. I'm so sorry." She morphed into a snow leopard so it wasn't a big deal then began digging for her clothes and she finally found them in the snow. She morphed back then put her white dress on, then put her red flower bow in her hair. She then put her snow leopard fur shaw on over that.

"Don't believe we've formally met yet. My name's Blizzard." She blushed for being so modest when trying to find her clothes. She heard a group of deer running through the forest and she looked that way. Her stomach rumbled loudly and she looked at it, then looked back in the direction of the deer. she hadn't eaten in two days, and with the energy she'd been excerting she needed food. It was her fuel.

She looked at the male again then sighed.

[Cilion]

He raises a brow as she shifts, speaking to himself in Vani..."Oh..She's a Kelvic...Makes sense now...Why didn't i put that together...?" Cil sighs, Sen coming over to him, Cil leans down and pets Sen, Chera hops up onto his shoulders then up to a low branch, she lays down exhausted from all the snow banks she jumped in.

Cil swap back to common when she changes forms again, he turns way. "I'm Cilion, i come from Frostfawn, that's Chera-" points up to the tree "-And this is Sentai, or Sen." He pets the wolfdog to show who he means, Sen's tail wags happilly still full of energy. "And i can assure i'm not some creep." He chuckles lightly. He turns around when she's done, hearing the tummy rumble he raises a brow. "Go eat, i need to find something myself, you go off where you looked i'll see if i can track away from you. If you want, feel free to come find me, i'll be on the northside of Mirror lake in a bit."

He looks up at the sky, wondering what time it is then nods to her briskly moving off to find some tracks. Chera huffs and simply stays for a bit going back to the hold instead of following him. But, Sentai follows after him. They eventually find a track, following it, swiftly coming upon a deer and repeats the mantra to himself, Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, line the shot, take the killshot, don't ruin the meat, don't let the poor one suffer. He release the shot, swiftly running up and taking a dagger he borrowed to it, killing it swiftly and beggining to skin it. When he's done he packs a bag with snow to hold the meat, and another for the skins and heads home to make sure it stays unrotten and able for eating...and leather working.

Afterwards he goes to mirror lake as he told her, watching the people have fun he plops himself down into the snow happy to just watch and pet Sen whenever he comes back from jumping in snow piles.

[Blizzard]

Blizzard watched as he left her and she nodded when he said he'd be at Mirror Lake. She took her clothes off again, then morphed. She wanted to follow the deer herd that moved in the area about 3 minutes ago. They weren't very far from here, she could hear them. She felt the snow with her paws getting into the feeling of her snow leopard form. She inhaled the cold air and let her nostrils warm the air she breathed in. She exhaled and watched as smoke like air left her nostrils and continued like this.

Blizzard put her clothes under a fallen log, then she was on the hunt. She almost instantly had a small buck insight. She hid behind a snow bank and watched the buck dig in the snow for food. She anxiously watched him and waited patiently. Something the huntress had mastered by now. The buck was facing the opposite way of her now. She retracted her claws, then unsheathed them, feeling the snow. She slowly climbed the snow bank, then pounced sinking her claws into the deer's hind quarter. The deer had just realized his mistake, but he was done for. She was already sinking her teeth into his neck by the time he went to run. Blizzard quickly subdued it and quickly killed it. She chuckled to herself then hungrily tore the skin off the deer so she could sell the pelt. She ate the good meat raw and left the bat meat in the open for any scavenger's that were hungry. She quickly ate some snow, then let it melt on her tongue as water. She washed her snout with some snow to get the blood off of it. She gathered the pelt, then quickly used her claw to cut his ivory horns off his head.

She morphed back into a human then carrie dthe pelt and horns back to the fallen tree. She put her white mid length dress on, and then put her red flower back in her hair. She put the snow leopard shaw back on, then decided she'd go meet with Cillion again. She followed his and his animals' scents back to Mirrior Lake and found him sitting. She sat beside him and smiled "I'm back." She layed out the pelt and horns "Decided they could be sold." She grinned.

[Cilion]

He smiles to her, eyeing the pelts. Sen running over to her, wagging his tail happy to see her again. Cil smiles, "He makes friends a bit too easilly, but what'ya gonna do..? He's a lover and a fighter." Sen nuzzles her cheek if she lets him. Cil shrugs to her. "Push him away if you want, he won't take it hard."

Cil rolls his neck grinning lightly, his eyes the bright purple of happiness, wander to the pelts. "Yeah, they'll sell pretty well, especially the horns for carving...Did you eat all that?..You must've been hungry..Like..really hungry.." he grins "My catch is still at home, not finished between me and Sen."

Cil looks over the lake happily, spotting something to the left.."Or.. Vixel...Oh dear...What is Vix doing on the ice." If she follows his gaze there's a small ferret running around on the ice trying not to get ran over. Cil scoops up some snow, tapping his Gnosis and making a clumsy pair of skates on his boots. "One second." He goes out to picks up Vix and starts to come back, but the skates he made broke and he twists in midfall, landing on his back and skidding all the way to crash into the bank at her feet. Vix is fine on his chest and crawls over Cil's face into the snows going to Sen. Cil groans.."Vix...You're horrible..." he limps back to his spot plopping back into the snow. Sen nuzzles Vix who mounts him, crawling up to the top of his head, comfy now.

[Blizzard]

Blizzard pet Sen happily then said "He's fine." She chuckles when he nuzzled her cheek. She looked at his greyish coat then smiled "You belong with the snow, Sen." She looked at the dog with considerate eyes.

She smiled then said "I haven't eaten in two days. And it takes a lot to feed a big snow leopard like myself." She considered his offer "I'd be more than happy to eat your catch, but you guys need it more than I. Plus, it's easier for me to catch something, and I don't have to drag it around."

Blizzard followed his gaze wtaching the ferret like creature run around on the ice." She laughed at the ferret, then watched as Cillion went to get him "I wouldn't..." but he was already walking down there. She wtahced as he limped back "Are you okay?" she looked around for something to help.

[Cilion]

He eyes Vix his eyes still purple, but lighter a little closer to pink then previously. "Yeah i'm fine, just a spill...the main reason i was limping was i still have some ice on my boot.." He taps his gnosis again, only long enough to drop the ice off his boot.

Vix hops from Sen's head, sniffing Blizzard curiously. Cil chuckles, "That's Vixel, or Vix...He...he's the annoying little brother of the family." Vix crawls onto her, then crawls up to her shoulder, sniffing thoroughly. Cil shrugs "Just don't kill him...He can be annoying but he doesn't bite anymore..Well...Usually..If he hisses he's.. not in a good mood.. On another note, Sen's taking a liking to you."

Sen goes and curls up next to Cil, who pets him subconciously. "How long have you been in Vantha..?..Or plan to stay?" he raises a brow, inquisitive. But, also wondering why he hasn't met her, he loves Kelvics, and tends to notice them come into town. He shrugs to himself, pulling out some carvings and eyeing them critically. Man i suck at carving. Well it's not too bad...i'm getting better..Maybe i'm being hard on myself...Meh.. The carvings are antlers with carved in figures of him hunting the deer the antlers came from, they're actually not bad, just not amazing.

[Blizzard]

Blizzard looked at him, eyes filled with concern but it soon faded into giggles when the ferret started sniffing her "How could this little cute thing be annoying?" She laughed again then pet the ferret on the head. She let him crawl on her shoulder. She let his words sink in "I wouldn't kill him." she laughed "He's too small to even be a snack for me."

She looked at Sen again, then looked at Cillion pondering is question "For the three years of my life I've been in the mountains, near the Frozen Wasteland hunting and laerning how to defend for myself. Just recently, I decided to migrate towards the city a little because I wondered what was beyond there. I plan to stay in Avanthal for a bit longer, and from what I've heard, any other place doesn't seem to be safe. And people would want my pelt, so I might just end up staying. I was thinking about planning a trip to head south or something, but it seems an awful long ways to go for a journey." She yawned, then looked over at his carvings. "I make those too." She smiled at him and got one of the antlers she'd just gotten "I take my claw and carve when I have nothing to do. That's why, this one claw and fingernail is always sharper than the rest." She held up her right index finger.

[Cilion]

He laughs lightly at Vix being a snack. "Dessert then, but yes he can be annoying...He likes to hoard things that arn't his..So far..only my things.. But either way he's learned that chewing through knots can be fun." His eyes have gone fully back to purple, the embarrassment forgotten

Cil nods as he listens. "That goes the same for me...I'd like to see other places, but, too far...And hot" he muses. "I'm probably too shy to even buy a boat ticket anyways.." he mumbles, ashamed his eyes turning pink to show it. "Yeah...That's a great way to end an adventure.." he says sarcastically to hide the shame. He wonders how he could change the subject wishing he hadn't talked.

He eyes the upraised finger, glad to have something to change subject with. "Oh yeah..? It's good work for idle hands, but not my hold, so I don't work on it enough for it to be very good." he shrugs, smiling. "I remember trying to carve Vix the first time...yeah..That was scratched out before my failed attempt was finished. I think I made a fish afterwards where the old carving was" he smirks over at her.

Cil stretches out nuzzling Sen.."Hey, if you do ever go south...Tell me if you want company though..Just remember there'd be atleast three extra to the party with me.." he smirks, eyeing Vix and Sen with to show who he means Chera being the third member.
