[PRP] mistwalker (Mistwing and Pixul)

[CascadingRayn]

Pixul's family was quite large. That was one of the reasons they needed to find a new place to settle. They had been growing and their old home was not enough for them anymore. "Well, my family is quite large," Pixul said, "Perhaps a deer or 6 rabbits would be better."

She started sniffing the area for more prey. She should hurry, since her family would probably be hungry especially the young ones. As she continued along her hunt, she figured she might get to know more about this area and Mistwalker. "So, have you lived here for a while?" Pixul asked.

A large family? That was surprising, then why was she out hunting alone? Or where the others out hunting as well and the prey would be pooled together. “To be honest no. I have only lived here a short time. Before this I traveled alone. Was there something about this place making your curious?” At times he would travel with others but most often Mistwing was alone. Living with a group of foxes as he was now was a new experience for him though he found that hes rather liking the change. He wondered it Pixul’s family was a warm as he saw others in the forming tribe. “We should set these aside while we hunt or they might slow us down or tip the other prey in the area off.” He moved the rabbit aside and then began to sniff around for more prey. It seemed like there was more rabbits in the area. There might be a den nearby that he could start digging in and hunting with Pixul meant she could cover the extra exits and get the ones who tried to escape through other tunnel exits. "I smell more this way, what do you think?"

Well, Pixul mostly have younger siblings just learning to hunt and it placed quite a burden on those who could hunt to hunt for them. They had picked a bad time to move, but their old home could not sustain them any longer. This place to Pixul was possible to settle in for at least a while. It may not be a permanent home with all the new tribes, but it might be good enough to let the little ones grow. "Well, I'm not looking for specifics, but more like I was wondering if this place would be safe to settle for a while?" Pixul asked.

Later, her attention was focused back on the hunt again. It seems like Mistwing had noticed more rabbits in the area. "Mm," Pixul agreed. There were more rabbits around. She started digging along with Mistwing in hopes of finding exits. Once she found an exit, she would cover it with dirt. Hopefully they could close them off and get as many rabbits as possible.

She caught onto his thoughts quickly as he watched her bury an exit. Narrowing down the escapes was a good call. He spoke as he found and eliminated the smaller exits while looking for the mouth of the den that would lead to the main area. “This place would be a fine place to settle down as long as you have interest in being part of the tribe even if only for a short time. It’s not like the larger tribes. It’s not official with the markings like the larger tribes and it doesn’t seem to have that stern land attachment yet. It could get that way one day. I think it is some time off though.” Mistwing knew there were tribes where you could not stay unless you were part of the tribe as it was so large that it had to support its tribe members and would drive off others or only let them stay a short time with the understanding of how short the time would be. Thankfully Eventide was so small this was not an issue yet.

He finally saw the entrance of the branch he was looking for. “Here.” He felt a certain amount of excitement finally finding his goal. He saw a multitude of rabbits try and get past him. He could only try and snag a few. Snapping quickly and lashing out with his paws he tried to snag them.

No worries. my week got a bit crazy as wel

Pixul had finished covering many of the holes when Mistwing spoke about the place they were in. Well, if it was safe for a while, then she could convince her family to stay for a while, they would only have to join the tribe for only a while; although, Pixul did not know how they would take the blood drinking thing. That probably was her biggest concern. Well, there was that and her getting distracted by the land around her, but that usually happens everywhere.

After she saw Mistwing snag a couple more rabbits, Pixul found herself relaxing from the hunt and drifting back to her imaginary world. She personally thought it would be cool to stay here. She could explore this place more and find cooler things than just mist and Mistwing. Mistwing had such an interesting fur coloring. He somehow blended into the mist. Luckily Pixul's nose was good, otherwise she may have lost him.

As she snapped back into the real world, Pixul helped Mistwing pick up some of the rabbits they had caught. She should probably get these back to her family soon, so they could finally eat. "Thanks for all of your help!" she called out to the other fox, "This should be enough for my family."

Mistwing nodded with a small smile. He was glad he was able to help another. Perhaps coming to live in this place had been a good idea. “I’m glad.” In truth Mistwing was very curious what the rest of Pixul’s family was like. “If you do choose to stay here for a time feel free to come back and speak with the leader here. Though there are many tribe lands and even many uninhabited lands.” Mistwing would be glad to see another pixie fox though. There was something about being the only one of his kind in a place that made him sad. Still Pixul should do what was best with her family after speaking with them and seeing if they even found the land habitable to their tastes. After all those who were in this place all had their reasons and some of them were a bit strange and seemed to have no other place to be. He himself was just a wander who seemed to stay and didn’t have a reason to leave.

“Can I help you take these back to your family?” The mists hadn’t lifted and they didn’t seem like they would today and he worried slightly for her getting lost again in it. He could imagine her fur sparkling in the mist and end up running into one of the others. That would be an interesting sight but he hoped to avoid it for her sake as some tribe members like Melicath were gruff with new comers.

"Ah...sure! I'm sure they'd like to meet you!" Pixul said. Someone as nice as Mistwing, who had just helped her hunt for her family, deserved to be thanked by her family. Plus, there was no way she'd be able to carry all these rabbits back. She'd normally dig a hole and hid them and take a couple of trips to get all the food back, but with the mist, that was harder than usual.

Since Mistwing was so nice to offer to help her bring it back to her family, she'd take his offer. Also, he could talk to her family about settling in the area. Mistwing seemed very knowledgeable about the area, and it seemed like a good idea. Pixul started gathering the rabbits they had caught. She could carry some, and he would carry some. She held them in her mouth and nodded for Mistwing to take the rest and to follow her.

As they walked. Pixul admired the area and scenery around them. It was indeed a nice place! Although she couldn't see much due to the fog, her imagination did a great job in filling those unknown misty areas up. Pixul had many more questions she wanted to as Mistwing, like how his family was like, but with rabbits in her mouth, all she would be able to say if she tried was "Murph."

Mistwing was surprised by Pixul’s warmth and openness. He supposed if her family was large enough bringing a stranger home might not be a big threat but if there were a lot of little ones bringing a stranger home was normally a dangerous thing. Either she must trust him or her family was big enough and strong enough to take care of itself. He hoped it was a mix of the two because while trust was nice it was important for her family to be able to take care of itself if it was traveling as she seemed to imply and he strangely wanted to make sure Pixul was safe. She just seemed like a bright light in a mists. Enchanting and fragile at the same time. Though he had not known her long so perhaps he was wrong. Gathering the rabbits he followed along behind her.

He watched as she glanced around through the mists at the land around them. There was a fair amount of forest and fields here though it was fairly obscured right now. His wings made a soft hum as his shook off the water droplets that had formed on his wings again. He considered flipping the prey onto his back so he could speak with Pixul but as she had her mouth full he didn’t want to put her in an awkward situation.

After a while, Pixul sighed, they were close. The scents of her brothers and sisters were getting stronger. She placed her rabbits down to say, "We are close." Pixul was worried her family might come off a bit strange so she decided to give Mistwing a warning. "They...uh can be overwhelming sometimes." Then she picked her rabbits back up and continued following the scent. Luckily she had her nose. The mist was quite dense and Pixul could barely see.

However, she was enjoying it. As they were walking she had zoned out into her own world. Sometimes when she would snap back into reality she had to give a quick look around to find Mistwing, since he was carrying half the food. Plus he was so nice, he deserved to be thanked by everyone he helped not just her. Well, it looks like their hunt together was ending soon. Pixul wasn't sure if she'd see him again. Her family might stay for a while, but if they didn't she probably wouldn't see him again. That made her sad. He was such a cool fox. That couldn't be helped though, family first.
