Curse Rascal Flatts and their good songs! This is for Marie with Aeron, and later on, Shaw with Amata in Ethereal Eclipse and foreward dated to July 17th. Marie, feel free to start the fight in your first post with a punch or something. xD I would like to say in advance that Eve is a whimpy fighter.

The caravan was near its completion, or at least done in a sense. There were a few odds and ends to add to the project, but Evelyn knew there was no more construction that is needed for it; it was mainly its flare and apparel at this point, but she helped out with that as well anyway. She enjoyed having the planned meetings with Bangle, Taliesin, and Sky, since it gave her something to look forward to, and using her trade to help the pack with the caravan was also a plus. Things have been peaceful for the woman in the artistic pack, even finding herself promoted, though it was a small jump in the ranks. None the less, she felt proud to be a more experienced craftswoman, and maybe in the near future other youths would learn the wondrous feeling of creating things and she would be able to teach them a thing or two.
She decided to take a hunt outside of the territory this morning; if Bangle wanted to work on the caravan that day, Evelyn assumed they would not miss her much since they did not need her help unlike earlier in the month. Though Cercatori’s territory provided plenty of game, the wolfdog hoped that perhaps there was bigger prey here in the no man’s lands, though she did not have the guts to try to take something down like a small deer in secui alone just yet. A plump rabbit would do nicely, she thought with a content smile, or a meaty squirrel. Now that summer was here, the food would get even better because of the abundant vegetation. Her belly even started to rumble as she kept thinking of prey, and she just laughed at her speaking stomach; that day was so wonderful, so calm, nothing seemed to concern the craftswoman.
The young woman soon silenced herself though, and perked her dark brown ears forward and pointed her nose to wind; even in Optime form, the smells of the dense forest were fresh in her nostrils. As well as was some prey, she noticed, and took another deep whiff of air. Rabbit, she identified the scent trail as, and started to silently follow it. Though direct hunting was not her style, trapping her usual way, she had started to like the triumph of catching her food without the use of her traps. Evelyn stalked forward in a half-crouch, so engrossed in the scent of prey that she blocked out everything, scents and sight, except for the rabbit that was hidden in the bushes a few yards away.
