 A small whine awoke Enchanté from her sleep and she snorted before rolling to her other side. A frustrated growl broke the silence. "What." Her eyes still closed Enchanté waited for the answer as she knew that growl anywhere. "Lykaios." When her companion did not respond fast enough to her liking. A mumbled question was what she got in return after a few minutes. "Yes, we are leaving soon Lyka just... give me a few more minutes okay?"
Enchanté did not want to admit but she had been feeling a little lonely and she didn't want Lyka to worry.. they had lost so much already. A pack of two that was them. Peeking slyly she caught the backside of her wolf buddy, her beta. It was amusing really to she her huff off.
After dozing a bit more, the sun hadn't even been up when Lyka woke her, Enchanté got up with a groaning purr. " Alright my dear let's head out and see if we can find us some territory to establish as ours." Traveling was fun but it was becoming hard on them. Lack of land was making her alpha status questionable.. what is an alpha without land and pack? Nothing but a target.
Or so said her parents before they were killed.
It seemed luck was upon them today as the sun was actually out and the breeze made it so the suns beaming rays were not too harsh on their skins. They had been walking for a few hours before Enchanté decided it was time to take a break in what appeared to be a nice flowery area.
Ryuukishin Decided to start now smile tag when you can! >> i kinda suck at rp so... XD; for warning. Also! Plant infection: Poison ivy 8D ; info((doing another post))

Elijah was not much of a morning person, either, yet here he was, following deer slots among the foliage. It was not out of desire that he was awake so close to the afternoon, but necessity: he'd not had a successful hunt for days. To say it was a result of inability would do disservice to his training. It was not for lack of strength or skill that he found himself ravenous, so much as the fact that he suffered the luck of the draw. Prey escaped death every day, every minute, of their lives, and he'd yet to come across any old, or young, or sick. There were no easy pickings to be had, and it was beginning to reach the point where expending the energy to go after a healthy adult was something he'd have to consider.
The time to decide was now. The scent on the latest set of tracks was fresh; he would nearly be upon them. With his size and dark coat, he knew it'd be futile to try and stay low. And with so many trees, it would take too much sound and effort to come from the air, too. It would be easier if he was back with the herd, where they could plan their attack with numbers. As it was, his only option was to rush.
Elijah was fast, but the deer were faster. They had been built for this, for sudden sprints and long leaps – and it wasn't just their hunger at stake, but their lives. They ran, and Elijah knew he didn't have a chance.

The smells that surrounded her were almost hypnotic... there were so many and with her heightened sense of smell it got to the point it was almost overwhelming. Letting off a sneeze, Enchanté turned to shout at Lyka to get going when a sound off to the right distracted her.
Alert, she stood with quick reflexes and let out a quiet commanding growl that got her second in command by her side just as quick. Something was out there. Her eyes narrowed and she held herself still in concentration. Enchanté breathed deep. The scent of male and deer were a sharp contrast against the flowers perfumey aroma."Circle in." Enchanté commanded Lyka knowing that her beta would know what that maneuver entailed. So focused on the hunt Enchanté disregarded the brush of plants against her legs and paws. Maybe they would finally have the chance for something other than... fruit. Her nose wrinkled at the thought of the fruit based diet they've had lately.
Silently Enchanté and Lyka parted ways, it was almost eery how quickly and quietly they worked in tandem. Ah there you are- Her thoughts were interrupted as an unknown followed the deer. "Crap." Enchanté cursed assuming the male had been the deer. The male stallion looked fierce and... handsome. For a second she almost walked away but the thought of meat was too tempting. Plus she was an alpha, she could take him or try too. Once more she jumped into the fray and hoped for the best. Hopefully it wouldn't be too gory. Blood was a pain in the a** to get out of her pelt.

Elijah glanced ahead, looking for what had startled the deer so. Two figures had joined the fray, their figures spread so that the three of them came upon the deer in different directions. Elijah did not know if they were here to help, or if wished to challenge his right to hunt (as far as he was aware, they were on unclaimed territory). Either way, their tactics were enough to send the deer scattering, and slowed them just enough that Elijah would be able to catch up.
He changed course, running diagonally to intersect and cut off a doe's escape. With a running leap, he stretched his paws towards her—
—only to land roughly on the floor, the force of his fall sending debris scattering in the air. He'd missed.

Enchanté would have snorted in amusement at how the male attacked just like a newborn pup but this is what she had needed. With a well place n** from Lyka and the maybe unintentional help from the male, Enchanté made her move. Quick like a rabbit she went for the deer's hind legs which would force the deer to cease movement. Then before she went for the neck to make the deers death quick and painless Enchanté said a mental prayer of appreciation as well as sacrifice. It was a part of life and one passed so others could survive. The only sound that could be heard for a few seconds was the quiet painting of all around.
"Hello stranger." Enchanté turned what appeared to be glowing red eyes at the male stallion. She took her time looking over the other horse, he certain was a different kind of beauty... one in the likes she had never come across. He had paws like her and a tail, but those wings... they were truly spectacular and made her wonder if he could fly. Enchanté let out an ordering huff to get her familiar safely in her proximity and away from the male who could be a threat. She was about to move closer when a sharp burning pain made her pause. Her paws felt like they were on fire and itchy. The hunt had pushed all distractions aside until now.
With dawning horror, her thoughts went to her uncle who passed away from a deer. Her uncle had been infected from the deers blood. That death had not been pretty.

Elijah looked up in time to see the two work in tandem to bring down the doe (his doe, the hungry, primal part of him thought, though logically speaking he knew he'd lost his chance as soon as he'd missed), with the wolf guiding the deer to the mare and the mare finishing it off with a swift killing blow.
He got to his feet, his actions slow and nonthreatening. The two had proved themselves to be efficient hunters, and he'd no wish to have their ire directed at him.
"Greetings, and good catch," he said with a dip of his head, gauging their intent. That the two were a herd, a pack, was clear. What he wanted to know was whether there were more of them, and if so, if they would allow him to leave peacefully. He was sure the land had been unclaimed before he'd started the hunt, and he didn't want to be accused of going after protected quarry.
He was about to ask when he saw her flinch. "Oh!" he took a step closer, but held himself back from taking another. If he was hurt, the last thing he'd want was for a dangerous stranger to approach. "Are– are you all right?"

Usually the rush of landing a kill would make her happy and pleased with her skills but now this was not the case. Enchanté turned to the male trying not to let her fear show but she knew her eyes gave her away when the male expressed his concern. "Hi," she managed out as the burning sensation started to spread. What the hell is going on with my body! Enchanté paused to debate whether or not to show her weakness to another horse, it was too much. She had to say something.
"Kills." She forced out of her snarled teeth, not in threat but in pain, and moved a little bit to get rid of the sensation. Lyka whined in fright as she did not want to lose her only living family member. "Like a burning itch." With that being said she used her claws to scratch and left a red patch behind. "Need to find someone that can help." Normally she would have been a little bit polite but honestly this feeling was starting to become to much... and spreading.
Ryuukishin This okay so far? lol want to make sure.

Elijah tensed, preparing to rush off. He'd mistaken the mare's word for an order, and he had no intention of risking his health in a fight where there was little reward for the victor. She continued to speak, however, and it became clear that her proclamation was not a command, but a cry of pain.
He'd been hesitant to focus on anything other than her and the wolf's eyes while the threat of danger still loomed, but the motion of her paws drew his attention to her feet, which appeared to be growing pink at an alarming rate.
"Um, excuse me," he called, tail swaying. "I might be able to help. May I?" He dipped his head towards her paws, requesting her permission to approach.Tara de Draiocht Looks good to me! ^^ Thanks for your patience!

Enchante attempted to focus on the male before her and tried to assess him. Life had taught her not to trust so quickly. "Yes, what do you plan to do?" She huffed out attempt to not appear weak was getting harder and harder by the minute. She sent out a silent command to Lyka to stand watch. This male certainly had manners and caution... a good thing to develop when it came to the unknown.. Her father had been like that.
"Are you a healer?" Ever watchful Enchante took in the dark males mannerisms, it appeared he had experience dealing with authority. Interesting. She winced when the male touched her paws and Lyka let out a gruff growl. "Shhhh." Humming she nudged her familiar in comfort.
Enchante continued to watch the male assess her body, "Are you alone?" Stating the question curiously. He certainly was nice to look at... he was pawed and had a tail like herself but the wings were fascinating. Maybe there were others like him.

"Thank you; I only intend to examine it, and see if there is anything I can do." Elijah nodded towards the wolf, acquiescing to and acknowledging her guardianship. If his friend was wounded, he, too, would want to protect them.
"I'm no healer, I'm afraid. I received basic training, but I do not know if the topics covered are relevant to your ailment in particular, especially as I'm not familiar with the area. I will do my best, however!" With that optimistic declaration, he set to work.
It was difficult to see with the fur in the way, and he inadvertently found himself drawing closer – close enough to touch. He apologized when she winced, and took more care to prevent its happening again.
When she asked her question, he did not reply right away. He continued to inspect the inflicted area, making note of the rash-like spots, with pus leaking out of the areas she'd scratched. Finally, "I am."
Before she could reply, "Have you touched any three-leaved plants, recently? Or, um..." He knew it was not common for soquili to be observant of plants if they were not for eating. He himself had thought they all looked the same, until he'd been taught the differences between them. "Anything out of the ordinary, even?"

Enchante eyed Elijah a glimmer of respective reflected in her gaze when he acknowledged her beta. "Hmmm, I see," Enchante continue to watch the male inspect her wounds.. he appeared to be educated which was definitely appealing to her. She let question sink and tried to recall such a plant. "Possibly, I had to chase away a skinwalker in a field earlier on.. or maybe when we were chasing that deer-" Oh.crap. This brought her back to her original thought. "Do you think... it could have been bad blood?" It was best to get that out of the way.
A puff of air blew across her ear and she turned her head to nuzzle Lyka in comfort. Then turning back to the male she spoke once more "Enchanté-" then using her nose as a point she indicated to her familiar "-Lykaios". If the stallion had wanted to hurt them he would have done so by now. Also, if the male could fix her, she would be indebted to him and grant him one favour per his request... a responsible one. "Am I gonna live doc? " The nickname and joke fell from her lips before she could stop them, trying to lighten the mood. Not a bad nickname... wonder how the other would take it and she peered at him to see a reaction.

A skinwalker? Elijah tensed once more, eyes scanning the surroundings. He had never seen one personally, but had heard of their strength and cruelty. He knew, too, that a purewalker's blood flowed in his veins. The mare did not seem overly concerned, however; he took comfort in that confidence, and let his attention return back to her wounds.
"Bad blood?" he repeated, stepping back so he could speak to her at eye-level. "It's possible, if you had an open wound that could have been infected...?" he left the statement open-ended, a brow raised. Surely there was a reason she had such a particular concern, and he was curious to hear it. He had not noticed any other injuries save the sores on her paws, but her day certainly sounded exciting – and with the blasé way she spoke of it, he would not be surprised if such events were common to her. (He puffed a little with admiration, but tried to maintain a composed demeanor to keep her at ease.)
And – oh! He blushed furiously. "Forgive me; it seems I've left my manners at home. Well met, Enchanté, Lykaios. I am Elijah." He grinned. "You will live to see another day, if I've anything to say about it."

She watched him assess her and then proceed to look at her in the eye. It was heard to not make her back fur not puff up at the gaze and had to remind herself that the male did not know. His words floated into her subconscious and shook off the feeling of threat. Instincts could be stupid at times.
"Pfft,"Lyka snorted out. " Good job boss." Then winked at Elijah flirtatiously. Enchante's eyes flared red for a moment as she looked down at her companion and was satisfied when Lyka showed her neck a little bit in respect. Looked like Enchante had to speak to her beta again about that little sass. Pfft who was she kidding that sass could be very amusing at times. Great. Sigh. Infection.
Elijah. The name was growly-purr internally. Lovely name--oh how charming a blush too! I could eat him up~ Though she had a feeling that would push him further away than draw him in. " 'ligah, I like it. Lyrical name that." A grin crept on her face with a flash of fang. "Good to hear that Doc. Now if only I had something to get rid of this nasty itch." Frowning she used one paw to rub the source of the burn/itch. "Recommend anything?" She paused a moment before continuing. "You out adventuring? Or headed back to your pack?" Enchante couldn't help being curious about him and wanted to make sure he wasn't attached. He fascinated her.
