Firefly Glen [BWP P5] WHITEOUT v1

arcturus is arriving as of this post! <3 next post will be him (attempting) eating

drawn quick on the heels of his sister, arcturus fled through the snow. it was blinding, bitterly cold - so cold even his nose seemed to have ceased working. but his ears... he heard, as hydra had heard, the distress call of a doe somewhere in this blinding storm -- a siren note between sheets of endless white.

the doe was found quickly. already the snowfall had eaten their tracks, and little scents pervaded through the gale of snow and ice - but the calls had been frequently enough that the doe unwittingly lead her murderers to her.

a quick bite was all it took for hydra to dispatch the animal. arcturus noted her sorry state in solemn silence. it was troublesome that even their kills were hardly more hale than them. "won't be much for us to eat," he remarked to his sister, assessing the doe that was scarcely more than a bag of flesh stretched over bones. "and i am not sure how easy it'd be to drag her back.." the snow was piling high and hard - it was difficult enough to ford the snow as one, let alone dragging the dead behind them.

he looked around them; the white had an eerie luminosity to it, and he found himself liking being out here less and less. "best we eat and quick." she was his leader and so, would eat the spoils first. arcturus would stand guard.
