WC: 390
Hotaru was proud to say that their trip had been a success. Dalgina had managed to behave while they were in the city, and Hotaru didn't mind her mini adventures in the forest. No major difficulties happened during their journey, a miracle in of itself. On top of all that, Hotaru had managed to successfully haggle with the old coyote and got a pretty good deal for the two birds. Even the whispers of onlookers didn't bother her as much as she feared they would. Perhaps the worst part of their trip was the fact that Fawkes had managed to piss off just about every bird on the dock. From what the grey female had gathered, most of the words were less that polite and the raptors were only a few insults away from an all out fight. Hotaru was just glad that they had left as quickly as they did.
With such precious cargo in her shoulder bag, the blind wolf moved carefully. She could hear Dalgina's chick peeping in her bag whenever it was jostled too much. They band of hunters managed to move at a good speed and were out of the city in no time. Hotaru had noticed Dalgina wander off once or twice, but the young female returned to her side before she even had to say something. It was obvious that Dalgina was excited; although Hotaru worried that she might become too excited. To make the trip back easier, the blind female had decided to strike up a conversation. "Tehu, a fine name that is deserving for a bird of prey. You picked well." Red ears twitched at Dalgina's question as Fawkes snickered on the grey wolf's shoulder. He thought to question was hilarious and was thinking how wonderful it would be if the puppy did eat the egg. The blind female snorted at Fawkes's poor taste and worked on keeping her voice calm and collected. "I should hope not. This egg will hatch into a chick and will become a great companion. Fawkes will see to it that the egg stays warm."
Sharp claws dug into her shoulder as a wave of loud protests bombarded her ears. Fawkes was not happy with the statement, and he made it perfectly clear. Hotaru gave a wicked smile. That would teach him to be so rude.
