By now, the Chen-tao had covered enough ground within Ichika no Ho-en to feel as though she had developed some sense of direction. A cream colored blur, the honey-eyed girl navigated her way through Phoenix Forest, the portion of Ichika no Ho-en which had been named for her previous home. Arye had never really felt a big connection to Phoenix Valley, but she found that she still liked to come here. Pripyat and some of the previous inhabitants of Phoenix Valley had dearly loved their home, so she could make a place for it in her heart too.
But her heart was the last thing on her mind, unless you counted Pripyat. The girl felt hunger growing deep within her body. Indeed, she had been so preoccupied by exploring the outermost edges of Phoenix Valley, so she had been neglecting hunting for herself. If not for Pripyat's constant stream of thoughtfulness, Arye probably would been feeling more staggering effects of hunger at this point. Though young, she was not inexperienced but also not the most skilled as a huntress. She would try her luck and see what might happen.
However, it appeared that she would not have to hunt completely alone as her golden eyes poured over the form of another Ichikian. The lupine girl directed herself his way, making certain that she did not alert any possible prey to her presence. After curving around to meet him, her honey-colored eyes rested on his face, communicating to him through age-old body language of their non-infected canine ancestors. She asked his permission to join him, and set her keen gaze across the forest for any signs of life.
