I'm not about to give thanks or apologize.

His explanations weren't entirely over her understanding, but she still didn't really grasp the reason behind the bow. 'It saved energy' was simple enough, yet the russet woman couldn't comprehend the reason he picked up a bow in the first place. Her opinion, and confusion, stayed locked away and allowed for their moment together to continue without any other hiccups. And it did, passing through a moment of flirtation on the part of the female that was returned with impish eyes and a charismatic smile.

She tore her eyes from his face, following his hand as he pointed toward the stream that broke up the Waste, listening to Ezekiel's knowledge of animals and their habits. He seemed so right, a thought that was reinforced by the sight of honking birds waddling around and picking at the ground near the low banks of the stream. She watched, smiling gently at the small squabbles over nourishment and the overall amicability between the gaggle. The smile disappeared as her brother gave her directions.

Spook them, and it'd be fun. She'd chased birds before, on days when she felt manic rather than depressed, but she had never startled them to kill them. She gave a nod and considered how to best go about her work, deciding on a four-legged approach rather than one in her taller body. Muscles contracted, fur shortened and body changed in a fairly quick transformation. What was once the leggy and lovely Inferni princess had become a sickly quadruped with obvious heritage, mind falling blank on anything save the words of her brother. For a moment, she did nothing but stare, watching the prey.

She launched herself in the direction of the flock of birds, paws kicking up snow with each bounding step across the land. The sudden movement was accompanied by an awkward series of hyper barks and growls, sending the geese in several different directions before the coyote skidded to an inelegant halt. She turned quickly, hoping to catch her brother's use of the bow before it was over; it was why she'd been so willing to go hunting with him, and she was determined to see it in action.
