Evolve had been enjoying the bonfire activities to some extent. If enjoying also meant not participating in the slightest and instead sitting nearby watching the various kin go about their business. System Shock was in there somewhere, probably eating all the food everyone else had gathered and challenging people to battle. Or maybe Candid Crush would get him shut up long enough to be constructive. Evolve didn’t really care either way.
Each kin that went past was appraised, up and down, from top to bottom. Searching for weakness was a habit that she would never want to break. Slight limp, left leg, kick for maximum effect. She watched the Acha go by, hid a grin in the darkness. Too easy that one. Large target, Totoma, curl of horns block vision, approach from behind-left. She continued her game until even that was boring and she stood, rolled the kinks out of back with a quick stretch and set off at a trot.
It was time for a snack and maybe she’d pick up something for the gathering as well.
Rather than waste too much effort on the hunt just yet, Evolve made her way down to the fruit grove.
It was there that she quickly located the blackberry bush, laden with ripe berries. It wouldn't be hard to snap off a branch but first she indulged herself, carefully curling her tongue around the plump fruit and pulling them into her mouth, while doing her best to avoid all the thorns.
