a gust of wind at night

Kiiiim~! Bandit is the ghost crow Tayui 'befriended' so feel free to NPC him later in the thread.


Tayui had not expected to wind up here. With the winter months wrecking such havoc upon the lands, as they often did in so many ways, she had not had much time to leave her own pack. Between ensuring that snow did not block the entrance to the pack den and ensuring that the pack always had enough to eat, she had found herself quite busy. And, of course, she still tried to find time to read and work on her low-speech, pitiful as it was. She had met with Pilot only once before the snow arrived, and had since then attempted to begin conversations with Bandit. The ghost crow was always so very snarky that she found it rather difficult. Nonetheless, she was determined to learn the language, even if it was only a small amount.


She had followed the crow out to the water's edge, and finding it half-frozen, had turned back to head home. He had said something about following him, but could not comprehend why. And now, she had lost him. She huffed, slightly annoyed with herself. She should have known, especially since now he blended in so very easily with the snow. She paused, scanning the trees. It was growing more difficult with the sun slowly setting to see anything, but she was certain that she had seen a flash of movement off in the distance. She trotted closer, attempting to see if was in fact Bandit sitting on the branch of a douglas-fir. "Bandit?" She called out hesitantly. Of all the low-speech words she knew, Bandit was the one she could remember the best. She also knew a wide array of curses from the crow. "Is... that you?" Her words were slow and gravelly, not quite achieving the correct sounds of the language. She was unsure if she said it correctly, or if the order in which she spoke was wrong, but she hoped the other might understand her intentions.
