I'm gonna treat this as if Ralla and Moonfyre already met at the 'Everland' thread. Reply whenever you have time; no rush Tongue

Ralla had been excited to see two familiar faces answer the call as she had, and even more heartened to hear that she may yet be useful. Liliana had come directly after her, riding on her own mare, and Ralla returned the polite nod that the hybrid gave her. Ralla took it that shy-indifference was part of Liliana's personality, but when she looked from Nayati to Liliana...an all-knowing smile of her own inched up Ralla's jaws, and she quickly ducked her chin to hide it. Instead, she turned her gaze to the next newcomer, Moonfyre, that made Ralla take on another full smile. Just a few days ago they had been in the beautiful Adagio Caves, and now she was comforted to know that she was surrounded by wolves she knew. Nayati's voice cut through her sentiments, and she turned to listen as Moonfyre was already at attention and Liliana far past remounting the mare.

"Yesterday I was tracking and found a large herd of elk that should be within our territory now. As you all know, winter will soon be upon us and we must have enough food to see us through. Our goal is to bring down as many as we can to bring back to the village. If any wishes a weapon or trained horse, they are welcome to them. We will leave as soon as everyone is prepared." The prospect of such a large target of prey set Ralla's natural instincts a-flurry. Peaceful by nature, nothing could ever win out against the ancient blood that flowed through her veins. Ralla had no weapon--of suitable purpose--other than her teeth and claws, which she hoped would be sufficiant. She trusted Sugar to follow the other horses faithfully as if he were still in a herd, and if not, to respond to her call. Quite to her own amusement, she wondered if she should paint Sugar the way that the other horses in her old tribe were and the way that the horses here sometimes seemed to be. How noble; Sugar, the hunting horse. She laughed quietly to herself as she swung herself over the paddock fence and onto Sugar bareback. To Ralla, his mane was sufficiant. Sugar was a smooth ride that could carry much weight for long distances, and he already knew her signals. Ralla was lucky that she had caught on so quick to the art of horseback riding; she didn't want to tire before the hunt even began. Sugar tossed his head once and stepped in a small dance when Ralla suddenly jumped on, and it took a second to calm him from her intrusion. Alright, not all my cues...

Moon walks. "Moon talks." Moon thinks.
