She listened to the elf speak, her brow furrowed in thought. Had she gone through the same things as Anna? It sounded like it. She thought hard about what she was about to do. And inevitably, she decided to walk around the tree and walk around behind the elf, safely a few paces away and show herself.
If the woman had truly gone through what Anna had, then there wasn't really a reason to be afraid was there? She sat down to the elf's left. And giving her large head a tilt to the side, she huffed loud enough for the elf to hear and try to get her attention. But instead of a huff it was words.
"Your not alone drow. I too have fallen to their harsh arrows..." her voice didn't sound like her own, it was gruff and a little deeper than the normal softness. It was a feral voice. Her golden eyes looked the drow up and down.

Silvara nearly jumped out of her skin. "Oh!" She landed lightly and regained her calm as fast as she had lost it. "Werewolf. Hi there!" She said cheerily. She brushed a stray strand of hair from in front of her eyes.
"Those stupid hunters think it's funny to have a drow head on their walls... None of them try to get to know me, they just shout and shoot." She sighed and sat on the forest floor. "I've been hanging out here ever since they decided to hunt me down. All I did was accidentally slip on my spell... It's the only thing keeping me alive in the villages."

Her eyes glowered with anger. And nodding she moved closer, much bigger than the sitting elf. She also sat down and with a small smile she spoke again to her surprise.
"I too, have been hunted. By my own clan no doubt. So I understand how you feel drow. Though my clan aren't like me, their humans." she sighed softly. Her ears laid back against her head in sadness at how even her once lover had hunted her down.
Anna's tail flicked from side to side. "My name is Annarose, but you may call me Anna for short. It's nice, knowing I'm not alone in being hunted." she said.

A faint smile played across Silvara's tightly drawn lips. "My name is Silvara. It's a pleasure, no doubt." She stood and collected her cloak that was haning from a branch a couple feet above her head. She had to jump to grab it, but felt no embarrassment as she landed lightly beside Anna. She fastened the clasp and sat back down again. She glanced up at the sky, which was barely visable above the canopy of emerald colored leaves. "Sunset will arrive soon, and I'm hungry. I'm going hunting." She stood. "You coming?"

Altaire's skin prickled slightly with the feeling of others close by. He sat up abruptly in his tree and compressed the urge to reveal his wings. He crouched down and, balancing himself on the branch, followed the auras until he reached a clearing that a land elf and a werewolf were in. And by their scent....Both female. He caught snatches of their conversation. Hunters......So I am not the only one..... He murmured, choosing to jump down and land in an area near them. "You speak of hunting in an area that is still full of hunters everywhere. Yet you say you are evading them." He spoke lightly.

Silvara frowned indignantly at the newcomer. "I know my way around well enough. I've been cornered here for a week. I know where the deer run, thank you." She unstrapped her bow from her back and asked Anna again. "You coming or not?"

Anna stood up when the male landed in the clearing, her fur bristled as she growled at him, and eyed him warily. "I am, nice to meet you Silvara." she said, padding to her side. She never once let her guard down with the newcomer but instead she lowered her body down a bit.
"You may ride me, to hunt. I am swift and I don't make much noise for I too am hungry. You sir, I know my way around here as well. This place is only infested at dusk and just before nightfall. It will be that way shortly I fear. And I am in need of sustenance and so is my friend. I am not easily swayed by these mere humans." she huffed at him.
The fur of her neck was strong enough to withstand the pain of being pulled, and her shoulder blades made a sort of natural saddle for Silvara to ride in. All she needed to do was hold on with her knees, much like riding a horse bare back. But with longer fur and a different stride.

Altaire's eyes narrowed in amusement. "You speak as if you know what goes through their minds. You know where the deer run, but do you know if they know? You say you know their patterns, so what would happen if they were to change it?" He opened his wings, spreading them wide enough for a powerful burst of air to raise him, and looked back down at the pair. "My last warning. Do not underestimate them." He said with a slight warning in his tone. "There are new ones in their ranks. They do not follow the old way." He inclined his head slightly and smirked. "Good luck avoiding them." And he was gone.

She growled and snapped at him. "Do not insult me." she growled again. Her brow furrowed as the man disappeared. She relaxed a little. "Silvara I can read their thoughts, and these men are stuck in their ways. The old ones always and the new are young and naive. They do not know which to take. But I can hunt well." she said with a huff, walking ahead of the elf.
"Well, are you coming? As I said, I give you permission to ride me, and from there you can shoot from my back." she said, lowering herself again.
