Kiara had a hard time figuring the strange luperci out. Even though the other luperci had been strange, none were as strange to the young mother as the pair before her. She couldn't imagine any canine unable to hunt for him or herself, especially because without food one would die. Where had he come from that he could live without needing to hunt? He was like a puppy, unable to care for himself. Frankly, to her, he was a little pathetic. Wherever the dog had come from, he and his companions wouldn't last in Nova Scotia if they didn't know how to hunt.
The mottled male attempted to keep the last shred of his dignity by politely turning down her offer. Dignity was fine, but it mattered little if he died. Kiara simply shook her head, and stared back at him. Males could be so stubborn sometimes. By thinking of the two strangers as puppies, Kiara's maternal instincts had flared and she felt as if helping them was no longer a courtesy, but a necessity. Besides, if she could get something large enough, she could share it with them and use the extra meet to feed her hungry pups.
The arctic female nodded as the shifter introduced himself and his companions. Kiara paid little attention to the bird, but the young male he was with caught her eye. Guillotine was no more than a puppy and would need food. "It's not a problem to hunt for you. I need to hunt anyways." Kiara turned and began to walk off towards the pigs. They were the more dangerous prey, but came with a bigger reward. If Zeitgeist and Guillotine followed her, then she would show him how to hunt. If not, it would simply mean more meat for herself and her puppies.
Kiara moved at a steady trot and was soon at the boundaries of the city. Once there she ducked low and her paw's tread across the broken concrete soundlessly. Her ears were high and her tail alert. She sniffed the air and sure enough, the pigs were only a few blocks away. Kiara turned and followed the scent, all the while trying to stay downwind of the pigs. Eventually, a group of pigs came into view and the huntress hid behind the corner of a building to watch them.
