Myrika is by Bobbi!
Horses were Myrika's preferred pet -- she had loved Donovan, but it was mostly her mother's messages that made her love the bird. It had little to do with the kestrel himself, although Donovan had been a calm sort of pet, seeming to enjoy working for the Luperci who provided him with such morsels and tidbits of meat he would never have been able to procure on his lonesome. The rust-hued hybrid was interested in the idea that one could talk with animals, but it had been a rare skill in Thornloe, and Myrika had never learned. An off-kilter smile graced her rust-splashed muzzle, and she nodded, finding the relationship between Ibsen and Inferni rather like that of Donovan and her family. Birds did not seem to be particularly affectionate pets; it was not love or duty which tied them to their masters, but a simple little thing like meat.
Bird scouts, the coyote remarked, musing over this with an approving nod. Wings carry you faster and higher than feet, for sure, she said, thinking over what he'd said. I'm sure I can find chickens somewhere. Maybe to the south in the wild -- I think there were more farms that way, she said, looking to Ezekiel with the question clear on her face. Her familiarity with these lands was not as established as Ezekiel's own, and she looked for confirmation of her thought. Myrika did not mind trading with the other packs, but it was easy enough to catch a wild chicken, and if they could avoid the cost of barter, it was better for Inferni as a whole. Such things were affordable for the coyote clan, certainly, but if they could avoid sharing the wealth with other packs, it was too their advantage, too.
