Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pinot stomped noisily through the forest, far too distracted by her anger to bother with trying to quiet her footsteps, lest there be danger about. “How dare he say such a thing to me!” She huffed loudly, her tail lashing from side to side to emphasize her annoyance at the indignity she had been shown. “Noir! Where have you gotten off to!” All this stomping around was not only making her more weary, but it was also reminding her of the hunger that had been present before and was now once more gnawed at her stomach. With another, softer huff she came to a halt. “Where in the blazes did she get off to.”

Pinot finally sat down, tired from her tantrum, and too hungry to even want to continue it. Instead she decided to be angry as she rested. “To think, someone would call me such a thing!” She spoke aloud, once more to no one in particular. “A weed! Preposterous.” She continued as she tried to straighten out the disheveled fur on her tail with a paw. “Preposterous..” Pnot whispered to her tail, frowning deeply as she looked up to search for Noir. A noise then caught her attention and she stood, moving to the side of a tree and peering around it, and others around it, for the source. Hopefully it was Noir returning, but her luck seemed to be quite terrible lately, so worst case was it was some aggressive brute coming her way, and she very much did not like that idea.

Soon the source of the noises appeared, and she quickly saw that is was indeed Noir. Not only that but she had managed to catch something for them to eat! By the looks of it a gazelle, and a nicely sized one as well. She would eat well that day, and this was some very good news, as her day had not been going too well thus far. As Noir noticed her, and spoke, she simply nodded in reply at first, taking a few steps forward to get a better look at the meal that had been brought back. “You did quite well, this looks to be a fine gazelle here.” It may not have been in the prime of it’s life, but it was better than nothing for sure. Or, even worse, something that was already dead. She was loathe to think of a situation where that might be their only option.

“Well lets bring it back over here, I don’t want all these trees and bushes in the way.” Pinot said as she turned and made her way back to where she had previously been. Of course she meant that Noir should bring it, as she would not dirty her paws with such a task.

Pinot waited silently as Noir pulled the gazelle from the brush and out into the small clearing where she now stood. At Noir’s question she let out a woeful sigh, as if she had just been waiting for Noir to ask such a question. “It was terrible. I came across some rogue cheetah, a nasty thing. He called me a weed of all things!” As much as she wanted to continue her awful tale she her stomach seemed to care little for the happenings previous in the day, and as it let out a loud growl she decided to start her meal as she waited for Noir’s sympathies. As she started to eat it tasted like the best thing she had ever had, as if she were finally getting a meal after nearly starving to death.

Pinot took a short break from eating to look at Noir. “I know, and to think some brutish cheetah could think otherwise is just beyond me! These rogues out here are so uncivilized, it’s just horrible.” She finished speaking with another sigh before returning to her meal. She continued to eat until she had her fill before moving away from the gazelle. Though she said nothing it was clear that she was done. Wordlessly she settled down to clean her paws and face. The day had at least not ended too badly, and if nothing else she was at least glad to have a full belly.
