Ninja Pirate would be an awesome occupation >.>

As thre trees and undergrowth--though dead, still bristling with branches and thorns--became thicker, Ralla dismounted Sugar out of not only courtesy for that he had to be able to maneuver without added weight, but that Ralla didn't want to get thwacked over the head with pine needles or a low-hanging branch. Catching up in a run with her brother--narrowly dodging obstacles and keeping up easily--she could see how intent he was on keeping pace with Valinta. She knew that he was only doing a warrior tactic to follow--a strict training that had taught him to direct all attention to the source he was following, perhaps the only thing that would keep him from getting lost--and that should he lose sight of her, unless her scent was easy enough to follow, he would get lost (even if the target was an acre or so away). Looking up ahead, she could see the midnight black of Valinta's back, but was curious to see as to why her tail was giving off the angry signal. Did they do something to upset her? Ralla shot Noss another one of their silent talks, but he seemed completely oblivious as to why Valinta could be upset with them in the first place. Did we disturb her prey and frighten it away? Are we disrupting a schedule of hers...? Eager to find out, Ralla sped up her pace a little bit, bounding every so often from the top of a mound or tree root.

Easily catching up with Valinta--long journeys of running and surviving cold climates still in her blood and lean muscles--Ralla turned curiously to their aquaintance. "Valinta? I'm sorry, are we troubling you in any way?" She couldn't shake the expression on the black wolfess's face, nor could she let her curiosity run rampant without answer for extended periods of time. If that ever happened, she either tamped down the curiosity--storing it in some secure part of her brain--or she became determined to find an answer (although tamping down and forgetting about it was becoming more of the norm, since she had finally come to term with the world's uncertainty). But, since Valinta was right there with an easy question hanging... She could satisfy her interest a little, couldn't she?

Moon walks. "Moon talks." Moon thinks.
