~ Are you alright? Nel hit you with a rock. She’s just forgotten to apologize. ~

"Hm? Oh! I'm fine." Daae grinned, then ran faster.

Ardis kept up. ~ She was just worried for me. Nel is empathetic to animals. ~ He explained.

"I understand, no need to fret." The ranger grinned, ignoring the sand in his eyes.

~ Oh very well. I won’t fret. ~ He said and glided on the currents. He watched Nel running front of them. ~ So, what are you doing so far out here? ~

"Aser ran away ran away this far in. We were in the forest when he flipped out and bucked me off. I hand't seen him in days till now." He started sweating.

~ Nel came looking for a snake. She will keep coming back until she finds it and each day she will go farther. I’m just worried what happens when we get to the forest. ~ He replied, and then returned to the subject. ~ But at least you found Aser again. That’s the important thing, isn’t it? ~

"I suppose, sorry about getting you off track." The tracker panted, slowing some.

Ardis gave the impression of laughter. ~ It is fine. She would have had to go farther into the desert to find what she was looking for. ~

Daae stopped, hunched over. He whislted and Aser looked back, then did a U-turn, trotting to him and running by the elf. Daae leapt onto his back in time and Aser turned and bolted back to Nel.

Ardis soared up. He could catch up with his companions in a dive, if he had to. Nel slowed enough to look back at them. She looked forward again and charged across the top of a dune.

Aser whinnied and followed. He leapt over it and bolted on, Daae clining to him.

Nel bucked playfully before racing up another dune. She whickered, running on. Ardis chuckled and looked behind them.

There was a yowel as a desert cat chased them. Daae looked back and growled, hopping off Aser and hitting his hip to make him keep running. The tracker got ready as the cat roared and leaped at him. He grabbed it by the paws and stopped it, squeezing to make it stop.

Nel stopped and turned back. ~ Please don't kill it. It's probably just hungry. ~ She said and butted the cat with her head. She would at least distract from Daae.

It yowled once more and slashed at her. Daae growled and pushed it away with his foot. He shrieked at them.

Nel backed away, her face bleeding. She shifted to a lioness and snarled at the other cat. Ardis swooped down to rake it with his talons before gaining air again.

It roared and swatted at the bird, then went for the easiest prey. The elf. Daae backed away and panted, feeling for his dagger, but it was on the saddle. the elf smirked and waited till it got close enough... then he punched it in the face.

Nel watched and moved in closer. She hissed softly, bristling. Ardis fluttered above them.

Daae shook his raw fist as the cat flung back, hitting the sand. It growled and got up, bolting for Nel. It jumped, ready to pin.

Nel roared and lunged forward, claws extended. She didn’t like hurting animals, but there were times…

The cat hissed as her claws hit it and it thrashed, trying to break free of her.

She snarled and clung to it, biting its neck. She couldn’t let it up. It would hurt Daae or Aser. She didn’t want it to hurt either of her new friends. Blood from her un-healed wound ran into one eye. That was something she’d have to take care of later too.

It fell limp as it's windpipe was damaged, falling dead. It blood stained the sand as sever scavaging birds flew over them.

Nel looked up, panting. Some blood dripped off of her face. She looked at Daae. ~ We should go now. ~ She said and trotted off.
