Not far from Anathema's borders by The Dampwoods. 300+


Successfully skinning a cottontail for its pelt, the Subordinate of Dahlia had been tracking after a particular hare for the majority of the afternoon. Her hunting skills within dense foliage was a little rusty, but soon caught up to the cottontail in trickery and was able to snag the brown and black hare for an afternoon's meal and to obtain its shiny coat (which was what Alae wanted more so than means to eat it). Devouring half of the carcass of the hare (and also providing scraps of flesh to her owl companion, if he had a tasting to any meal besides rodents), the Sidhe was next to a stream that ran jagged throughout the Dampwoods. Shaving off every conceivable protein of loose flesh and fatty matter from the pelt, she was able to clean it off so it could be folded and put in her leather-bound sack to be transported back to Dahlia. It would make for a swell trading item, or something sewn into a garment. There was enough human clothes left for Luperci to wear, but every now and then Alae liked to skin animals for their pelts for the fact their fur was warm and authentic.


The Sidhe previously was at Quartz Shoreline, to where she was heading back from in the morning from scourging around the coast for mussels, seawater, and any oceanic plant life to wash upon the sands. Several pieces of dried seaweed were recovered, as well as the bulbs attached to them. Alae felt she gathered enough over time to bring enough of her harvesting materials back to Dahlia de Mai, where they would eventual be organized in her dwelling for medicinal use later on. For now, Alae decided to take a small lunch break with the cottontail she caught, and also prime the hare pelt that she skinned off the rabbit's figure with her dagger. It was near done with cleaning the backside of the pelt, and Alae couldn't help but to admire the intricate colors the fur held.
