Closed [Smokey Waters] Whether to Weather the Weather(Alori)

[Lavira]

~She has been through much in her young life, Alori, as I am sure you have as well.~ And then, the eagle was silent, tucking her head and closing her eyes to rest for a time while the girls talked and kept themselves warm.

Vira, meanwhile, looked to Alori with raised brows. "She?" Referring to the remark about having a mentor after a while but otherwise having flown solo. While her friend replied, the teen began ringing out her clothes, using the heat from the fire to melt the ice that had built up. There wasn't much they could do until the fire built up, but once it was some of the meat could be cooked and ate. It was cold and the eaves of the cave were starting to thicken in the amount of ice that hung from them.

And as the bells went on, it was only going to get colder, the temperature plummeting until the wind that pushed into the cave made even Mohya shiver and tuck her head a little more. She would even cluck the girls to nestle against her to stay warm while the fire crackled. And on the rain fell, steady. Sometimes it fell quickly, sometimes it fell slow, but fell it did bitter and biting, all night long. Vira tried to keep up conversation when she wasn't shivering, wanting to ask why it was that Alori felt so much warmer (was she sick?) when they weren't near the fire; yet, she did not want to offend the other now after they had finally calmed enough from the exhausting day to settle in and see through to the night.

As midnight began to near, Vira was starting to drift, but a jolt of wary fear kept her from fully falling asleep as she looked towards the other huntress. "Alori?" She summoned in a soft whisper. "Are you awake?"

[Alori Sai]

It felt different to her, speaking to the Wind eagle. With Sira it hadn't been this way because Alori had known the Endal for seasons, before seeing her in her Wind eagle form. Mohya was a Wind eagle through and through and had a motherly embrace that the teen wasn't used too.

"Yea, Apola was her name. It was my first time out hunting and I wasn't ready, I wasn't even prepared really. But I went out anyway and after a long day and running behind rabbits I found elk and just when I was about to take my shot, she took it first. I was beyond pissed and what made it worse was that she just ignored me. Like my feelings didn't matter. Well, anyway she must have felt bad because she came back and helped me make a kill a bit later on."

It was a story that she would never forget, and a valuable lesson for anyone looking to hunt in the wilds. Alori looked to her clothes again, and moved closer to inspect the dampness of the fabrics. They were dry now, but with the icy winds, it didn't seem like a good idea to put them back on. She did what she could to keep her mind off the cold biting at her and to keep her spirits up while the three of them shivered together inside the cave for bells. There were quiet times, moments when neither could think up anything to say. The huntress was tired, sleepy, but not even medicine could help her rest in this weather.

"Yea...I'm awake.Kinda hard to sleep I'm so cold."

Vira huddled against the eagles breast and shuddered, looking on at Alori with wary eyes. She was freezing and tired and wanted the storm to just be over with so they could get home. At least they'd brought in a kill; and with it as cold as it was, it wouldn't go bad so quickly.

"Heh, yea. I was just gonna say that if we do get to sleep...don't...don't freak out or anything. I have nightmares." The teen turned her head into Mohya's skin as if to avoid seeing the other judge the young Endal for the unpleasantness of what she had. Nightmares were for babies, not grown ups. "Please don't freak out."

And then, she settled in, almost hoping she wouldn't slip into slumber for the sake of her ally. But sleep would come, and it would come sooner rather than later, guiding the teenager into that hellish dream she never seemed able to escape...
