One of the squirrels congregating in the trees suddenly hit the ground, dead. Kaitriona didn't get to witness the slow motion glory of an arrow piercing through a squirrel in detail, as the arrow cut through the air with a quickened whoosh sound, and that was all it took for the chattering squirrel to breathe no more. No evidence of blood or foul play, as its partnering squirrel leapt away to another tree's branch, frantic and just as surprised at how fast it took for its companion to be no more. As astonishingly fast as the kill was, flying arrows out of nowhere alarmed Kaitriona. Drawing her Naginata blade from behind, the sheen of the blade unholstering also sent Outlaw on an alert; tail whipping behind enthusiastically, eyelashes battering and ears swiveling. Her sapphire eyes narrowed all around her, holding her blade tense, until bounding from the foliage emerged an agouti colored female, claiming her perfectly shot prize.
Kaitriona pivoted her Naginata in the female's direction, backing up. This female was a little over Kaitriona in height, and had long shaggy brown hair cascading down past her shoulders. No clothes but her own natural fur, which was rich with Earthy colors and a white neck, bosom, and abdomen. Her eyes mirrored Kaitriona's in the fact they were a deeper shade of blue than her own. While the bow was clearly dropped at her side, this didn't give reason for Kaitriona to let her guard down in any manner. As the female observed her kill, Kaitriona could see from her distance the shot was so clean there was no spilled blood dripping anywhere, only a burst of red from the incision site of the arrow.
Her sapphire gazed danced between the squirrel on a stick and the female. Her dark raven fur bristled slightly, but didn't make any jarring movements to make the female uneasy. Controlled and collected was what won battles. Her mind began to slow down progressively, connecting that this female was probably just out on a scourge like Kaitriona was. "That was… ridiculously precise of you." Kaitriona started, mentioning her skill in an apprehensive tone. "Willing to take gold or knives in trade for a bite?" Kaitriona was willing to barter some gold pieces of jewelry, coins, or weaponry if the female was willing to give it up, or at least assist her in catching one. It was Kaitriona's way of fishing out whether this female could be a potential assistance in this situation, or something entirely different.
