Lost Creek Hollow Joining

As the pack man and the foreigner walked together, Shikoba's words seemed to be useful. Perhaps they needed more healers in the pack? She could muster up her memory of plants and such, but sometimes her actions were better. Her attention was brought out of the thought when the man spoke up once again.

They were in need of defenders. There was a sense of urgency in his voice, where they being attacked by others alike themselves? The native woman kept close attention to his words. There was a.... kooger? No wait, that wasn't right. A big cat, a cougar! A mean one too. Shikoba wondered about the cat, why not pick on some other species? Wolves never did anything wrong to the other animals besides hunting and setting up borders.

His last question held her attention the most. Would she be able to handle it? What did he mean, handle it? Shikoba's eyebrow ridge quirked itself in a confused manner, but filling in the blanks she was able to answer. "Hopeful in self. Never have deal with big cat, but Shikoba will. Shikoba will handle cat with help from family?" The native woman hadn't dealt with many mountain cats, she knew her father did before and came back with battle wounds.

Her last sentence was more of a question. Would this new family help her out with the cat? She wasn't very confident in just herself, numbers were better than just 1 alone. Maybe the man would help her defeat the ravenous feline and put peace within the lands?
