Thread: Snowy Relations [Juno + Hiro_]

Ludvigs ear twitched slightly, it had been hours since his Master had left and he had decided since it seemed as if the other was not to wake that there was no need to stay up him. Deciding instead to take a little cat nap, mostly out of pure boredom however, he was just rudely interrupted. The white creature stood his back paws supporting him as his front stretched before him, much like a cat though he was not one. His tongue lapped at his mouth and he stared lazily at the man who had just awoken rather loudly. Turning around hed pay no heed to the other not deeming him much of a threat and instead moved over to a carved bowl, taking a few laps of water to quench his thirst. If Ludvig could talk I suppose he would say something along the lines of, Wheres master? But he cannot and so he only looked bored and confused. Moving back towards the odd creature that his Master brought back he came within three feet of the other and simply sat there. His head tilted as if he was curious about something but had no way to explain as such. Anders laid low, his breathing hushed as he pulled back the twine of his bow so very slowly. He watched, he waited. The surge of adrenalin rushed through him as he narrowed his eyes slightly. One shot was all that hed need, one shot was all he would take. He breathed in. There! With the release of his breath he released his arrow. Thunk! Right on the mark! He chuckled softly to himself happy about his newest achievement. Lynx were known for their meat, and their fur wasnt bad to boot. He began to pack up his bow while moving towards his kill this would feed them for a while before hed have to hunt again. As he moved closer to the kill he looked around wary of his surroundings. He was in cat country now and no doubt one had seen him slaughter their brethren. Hed have to be extra careful from her on. Stuffing the bloody head of the creature into a leather bag he had fashioned long ago he tied it tightly before tossing the cat over his shoulder. His hand moved to his boot as he pulled out a knife, making sure to have it in hand should he need to use it. And thus he began his long trek home. Perhaps it had been an hour, or perhaps longer. He was not sure but after some time maneuvering through the snowy fields he came upon his shabby home. Readjusting his kill so it would not slip he gave a slight grunt before pressing his lips in a slight O shape and whistling. He was alerting Ludvig to his presence. Ludvig no doubt had heard this as he jumped up without much thought or provocation. With relatively quick ease Ludvig was up and at the door, his tail wagging rather fast, which is to say on any normal Artic Fox this would look awkward. However, Ludvig was no normal fox after all he had been domesticated. It was mere minutes after the whistle had Anders entered through the door. His fresh kill hunched over his shoulder. Instinctively he looked towards his bed it was then that he noticed the male he had rescued just earlier that morning was very much awake and alive. He was unsure if he should have been happy or disappointed by this. Awake I see. He spoke in his native tongue before turning his face from the other and proceeding to lay his kill upon the table with a loud thumpthud. He supposed that tonight he would make a stew, at least then they could last quite a few days on such a small portion of meat, before he decided to skin and section off his kill he decided to check up the man. Layers of fur were untied and pulled from his own body only to be folded or hung onto a makeshift shelf. You were out there for quite some time. I am surprised you did not die. You must have great luck about you. His words were soft but gentle as he moved closer to the man, his stature towering over the other whom lay upon the fur bed-like futon. Kneeling before the male he held out his right hand using his left to lift the others hands to his so he may inspect them for possible frostbite. Why were you in winter storm with no shelter? He questioned aqua hues lifting to the others face as he gave the barest of smiles. It is no place for men like you.
