the spar with black hat had left abeja in a visibly sour mood. the wounds on her neck still stung, even after an hour of resting them atop the snow. she stomped along the border, grumbling as she rubbed her scent into the tree trunks.
pinche pendejo. ¿crees que puedes ganar una pelea contra me? ya veremos.
a coyote stood downwind, testing its luck by pawing at the snow beyond their border. abeja growled as she lowered herself, preparing to lunge.
She was doing a patrol and heard the commotion but never really went to check it out and as she walked she came across the female. "Tu nuevo." She didn't ask; it was more of a statement because she smelt vengeance on her pelt so he knew she was here. She seemed to speak the same language as she and a few others here. "mi nombre es serem. Soy consorte y médico." She would help if allowed. "¿Puedo?"
abeja's attention was pulled away from the enemy, rather falling on the approaching femme. si
, she replied, a smirk forming on her lips, la consorte de vengeance, yes?
the role's status had yet been made clear, so the sylph assumed that it was just a fancy title for sex toy.
miratelo, el coyote. vamos a matarlo.
serem hadn't given abeja a reason to assume to submission, so it wasn't given. rather, she resumed her stance and waited for her partner to do the same.
She answered her question and she took a note of it. She gave a small nod. "Sí, soy una hembra alfa aquí." She then listened to the rest and she hadn't noticed the coyote only her blood but she turned to it and lowered her body and waited for her to lead the way, she was curious to see how the female carried herself.
abeja's shoulders rolled back as she eyed serem from over her shoulder. an alpha female? it read as competition, though she knew she would have to be smart about it.
for now, they would focus on the task at hand. she said nothing else, rather sneaking forward and trusting that serem was behind her. the coyote was quick to catch wind of their approach, standing at alert and beginning its retreat into the territory.
alli!
she called, standing to begin the chase.
She ran behind the female towards the coyote and tried to bite the animals leg, it was a bit faster than she due to the famine but she was right at its heels.
serem was able to speed past abeja, continuing the chase at the coyote's ankles. the scout's heart rose to her throat as she attempted to choke out the words, kill it!
she continued following behind, should the creature change direction, but trusted that the consort would finish the job.
She was really quick to catch up to the coyote and the raven lunged for its neck and her teeth sank into it making it scream in agony and the female reveled in it and enjoyed its sounds of pain as she strengthened her hold on it until the beast had finally stopped its squirming and died.
do you want to fade and start another one?
it was an impressive kill, quick and clean. abeja slowed as she approached serem and the kill.
muy bien
, she said between pants. the coyotes seemed more willing to fight than her packmates, a thought that made her laugh.
regresamos a la frontera.
she turned to head back, truly indifferent about her company.
She gave a soft nod and before she picked up the kill unless the female wanted to deposit it into the cache she would allow it. "Te mostraré dónde está uno de nuestros cachés." She would either pick the prey up or let the female do it and she would lead her to the cache.
abeja nodded along, picking up the corpse and following dutifully after serem. they would return to the border afterward, but she content for now.
