Neverwinter Forest Silent Night

The plan was simple enough, though they had to account for the hostility of the animal currently making what would surely be it's last stand in the hollowed out trunk. For what reason her hybrid companion wanted it Gyda did not know and for all intents and purposes it truly did not matter. She assumed it was to be his meal for that was generally the reason she bothered other animals. For meals ...and sacrifices to the Gods she dutifully worshiped as Ragnar had done. It had became aware of their plan the moment Gyda had began to crawl into it's hiding place. It snarled at her and she let out a low snarl of her own, her lips curling back from her teeth, ears pinned to her skull.

Her companion snapped at it, stealing its attention away from her and she moved closer snapping her teeth at it's back while it was to her, sharp canines grazing the fur. It panicked and pushed itself further away from her — though with little else to go this put the raccoon within the hybrid's reach. Unwilling to back down Gyda continued to creep towards it, hoping that the hybrid would make his move soon, though the shield-maiden was sure the raccoon only had a small matter of time before it's life was ended regardless.
