Dancing with Wolves

[Travis Huntman]

As soon Analisia started to tear up, he quickly embraced her in a hug. He placed her head on his shoulder and used his left hand to stroke her hair. It was quite unfortunate event for her and felt sorry for her. It was a mistake on her part, but she didn't need to get punish with isolation for it. "I hope you will return to your pack," he whispered, "Until then, I'll stay by your side."

[Analisia Moonbright]

Analisia was comforted by the embrace, her arms wrapping around him to hold him tighter. "I will be fine, my time alone has made me stronger and smarter. And it has made me realize what exactly my pack means to me. I shall return to them one day, I can only pray that they will accept me." She nuzzles her head into Travis' shoulder. But pulls away after a moment. "I know that you have been thinking it, what shall we do about our traveling? I already know that settling down together isnt really an option. Traveling is in our blood... So what do we do?"

[Travis Huntman]

The ranger pondered on that for a moment. He wondered where they can go together; what exciting adventures they can have? Then, something clicked. "Maybe we can bounty hunt together," he answered while he gently held on to her hands. "We'll be doing a civil service, it pays well, and we'll be traveling a lot. Besides, with our combine talents, we'll be unstoppable."

[Analisia Moonbright]

Analisia thought about it. "It really isn't all that different from what I do now is it? It might be fun, but I would still like to stick to the forests most of the time, cities make me nervous." She smiles at Travis and nods. Yeah, she could do that. Spending time with him was pleasant to say the least, and if they could travel together as well... It would be a nice way to live. "And then I can show you how much better I can kick ass than you can." She says with a small chuckle. Then pulls him back in for another embrace. It was nice to have him there for her, even if he was human and it was totally against what she was taught was right. "So what shall we do now?"

[Travis Huntman]

Travis smiled at Analisia with glee. He was excited that she was willing to along with him. The ranger wasn't sure if she'll kick more ass than he will, but he's sure she'll be a faithful companion. Just then his stomach growled and it was then he forgot that they were suppose to eat. "How about we have breakfast?" he replied, seeing that she was hungry too.

He grabbed a fillet of deer and sticked a stick through it. Then like cooking a marshmellow, he sticked the meat into the fire. Not the best way to cook meat, but he didn't have any of his cooking tools. "If you want, I'll leave some meat for you raw."

[Analisia Moonbright]

Analisia smiled at him. "Feel free, but I think that I shall try some of your medium rare meet." She turned to look at the way he was cooking the meat and shook her head. Such strange ways... "It might be easier if you set up a spick..." She says with a small chuckle. "Or even if you set up a rock in the center of the fire. I may not eat cooked meat, but I do know how to boil water, and I am sure that there isnt much difference in the two." She smiles at him then kisses his cheek softly. Speaking of water, it would probably be a good thing to bathe and get some drinking water.

The thought of bathing with Travis around made her blush slightly, but she hid her face enough with her hair that she hoped he wouldn't be able to see it.

[Travis Huntman]

The ranger chuckled at his lack of practicality. Clearly, his time in Cados has dampened his skills in wilderness survival. At least, he had Analisia to remind him. Using the sticks he had, he created a stable spick to place the meat on. When Analisia suggested about drinking water, he sort of forgot it. Luckly, he did have his canteen with him that they can share, though it was nearly empty. "Well, if you want, you can fill my canteen up with water," he suggest as he tossed her the tanned sheep-bladder container, "If I remembered correctly, there was a fresh water stream where we were sleeping."

[Analisia Moonbright]

Analisia caught the canteen as Travis threw it to her. "Ill be back in a little bit." Canteen in hand, she walks back towards where they had slept that night. The stream wasnt far away from it, and it wasnt hard to find either. When she got there, she looked around quickly, set down the canteen by the stream's edge and Changed into her wolf form. It was easier to bathe that way, and there was less chance of her getting caught in an unpleasant position. Padding into the water, her hackles rose from the chill. It wasn't pleasantly chill, just a biting cold. As she stepped further into the water, she grew numb. But at least she was getting clean.

[Travis Huntman]

Travis kept his watchful eyes on the food and the fire. As the fire died down, the ranger added more fuel. When a side of the meat looked cooked, he rotated the meat so the raw side could get cooked. After a while, the repetive procedures got boring for the woodsman. He wondered what was taking Analisia so long, it doesn't take a long time to run over to the stream and fill a canteen up.

[Analisia Moonbright]

After a while in the stream, Analisia got out and Changed back to her human form. Soaking wet of course. She looked down at her sopping clothes, and laughed. Then filled up the canteen and walked back over to where Travis was with the food. She set down the canteen by him and sat down. Not saying a word as to why she was dripping wet. She smiled over at him, "Is the food ready yet?" She asks sweetly. Then shakes out her hair, much the same motion as a dog or wolf would do to dry off.

[Travis Huntman]

Travis looked at her surprised. How on earth did get herself all wet? She must of had a little too much fun fetching some water. The ranger got up and chuckled. He then wrapped his cloak around the soaked woman and attempted to dry her off. "Gzz, you must be cold," he smirked as rubbed her dry. "And yes, breakfast is about ready" He wrapped his arms round her lower back.

[Analisia Moonbright]

Analisia smiled brightly up at Travis, glad that he was willing to play along. When he wrapped his cloak around her, she held onto it tightly. "The water was refreshing, but it was freezing, must come directly from the mountain. Thank you for the cloak, it is very sweet of you." She leans over, closer to the fire and takes a deep breath, taking the scent of the venison. "Smells delicious!" She says with a bit of gusto. Then leans back onto Travis. Smiling back at him. "So when do we eat?"

[Travis Huntman]

"We can eat right now," Travis answered back joyfully lifting her in the air and spinning her to the side. The ranger went over to the fire get the cooked meat. The deer meat did smell delicious and looked properly cooked. Travis took his knife to examine the cooked yet pink inside of the fillet. "Yeah, it's ready." He placed the meat on a slab stone and divided it evenly between them. "You can dig in if you want."

[Analisia Moonbright]

Analisia clung to Travis when he lifted her up, she hated being picked up, but the smile she flashed him when he set her down would show none of that. When he set up the meat to be eaten, she picked up a small piece and tasted it. Chewing it slowly she smiled. "It tastes really good, not as flavorfal as it tis when raw, but still really, really good." She swallows the piece and laughs softly. Then starts to eat away at the remaining food on her part of the rock with a vigor that would suit any wolf.

[Travis Huntman]

"I'm glad to hear," replied the ranger, "It's not so offen my cooking receives such praise." Travis gave a chuckle before biting into his meal. He was quite glad that he was able to cook the meat as tender and juicy as possible. "So, after we eat, what should we do?"
