It was not in her nature to stick around the way that she did. But in order to one day fulfill the promise of taking Bright Moon's debt to Aurora in her own list of to do's… well. The rare creature had stayed. Though she did not make appearances in front of any of the pack members, lest she should become frightened and run the risk of injuring herself and yet again cause trouble for the Alpha. Do Thea had taken to herself, figuring out a totally new habitat here and using all the time she did have to work out what kinds of plants were edible, if their roots could be used for anything, discovering different kinds of similar plants and… for the first time ever, saw a pack running as one to take down a bull elk. She had stayed far, VERY far away. But she watched in awe as commands were given and taken in an orderly fashion that finally would bring the colossal creature to the earth. Today was a day just like any other. She ventured away from the territory (going a little farther than she had days ago) and crept along a riverside. Thea was no fool. Just because she stayed particularly silent and treaded lightly upon what should have given her away straight away… didn't mean that she was completely dull to her surroundings. She had already learned how to swiftly snatch fish from the still frigid river and had even managed to watch from and distance as a Wolf mended his own wounds. Perhaps Thea was beginning to think of the world of medicine herself. But she had no plans and frankly was more worried on keeping herself hidden than she was on discovering different ways to treat a fever. Returning from the river resulted in a good catch of a large hare, which she kept intact and carried gently back towards Bright Moon territory. The past week, Amalthea had been discreet in her "offerings." She knew that Summer must also know that they were coming from her… always they were rabbits. Fish did not spark her interest in eating and she was not strong enough to spirit away also fawn just yet. Still. It was her way of silently giving thanks to his protection and kindness. For not killing her before each day came to a start. For getting her to trust a little more. But this path she was taking was not to be the same as the path she traveled yesterday.
When the faerie being came within yards of the border, a new scent danced along her scent glands, pushing past the stench of death that hung between her jowls. there was no way she could have picked up on it before, but it sent the unicorn into a frenzie. Her auds swiveled forward and her eyes tick tock ticked around, searching for the source. She found the duo quickly. And quite frankly she was too close to them for personal comfort. Her heart skipped two beats when she realized her motion of stopping had sent up all sorts of noise. Due to spring flying into summer, the trees and animals living in them had rid the plants of their unnecessary thin limbs. The ones that were already broken or were too thin and unhealthy to continue sapping strength from their host. And due to Bright Moon's location? There were tons of these branches and other such foliage that kept even the quietest varg on the radar. Her lilac portals widened as she took the two men in. One was sleek… built like a weapon of war… and the other WAS the war in mortal form. Scars wrapped around his mug, encasing parts perhaps that she couldn't even see. But from only eight yards away… Amalthea had honestly seen all she needed to see. Her mug slacked as she stared petrified of the two, and, if they hadn't seen her yet, they were sure to hear her now. A beautiful, but most horrified scream danced from the ladies lips as she willed her legs to move from where they were glued. The scream didn't last long but it was enough to convey her inner emotions. The priestess flew forward mightily and slid behind a wall of underbrush. She dare not move. Her heart had barely been able to handle the race across about 20 yards without fearing, once again for her life. How had she been so stupid?! How had she walked straight next to them and picked them up at just the last second? And not just that but she had even dropped the hare! Lilac lookers closed tight and her breathing mixed in with quiet whines, absolutely terrified. If she had been shaken when she first arrived, that was almost as bad as she was now. Tears threatened her with blurry vision and her body shook from both surprise and work.
Today was not Amalthea's day.
