Wolf Cult: Homecoming
Episode 12 - Fireside Reunion
Tyffani comes running back to the cave after having been in Stormwind and Boralus for a few days, shaking her self off as she gets the edge and under the lip of the cave. A faint sizzling sound can be heard and steam comes off of Tyff’s clothing as she dries herself the fire mage way.
“Did you bring more wood…?” Kits shivers next to the dwindling fire.
Tyff looks up to see Kits more awake than normal, and and smiles somewhat regretfully as she answers, “It’s pouring here… so any wood not in the cave… isn’t going to be dry enough…”
Kits frowns and pulls his robes tighter around himself. “So long as the wind doesn’t pick up again…” He sniffs at the air. “Did you bring food…?”
Raedolf lingers outside the cave, keeping watch. He seems in good shape, though stares into the dark with focus and a serious gaze. A couple of marks have begun to scab on his face, one mark horizontal just under his right eye, the other scabbing through his eyebrow fur. An ear flicks as he hears voices within the cave, and he looks over his shoulder to Kinma.
Kinma glanced up at the sky as the rain splattered against her face and armor before glancing at Rae nodding her head “Hello Rae.”
A large black bird lands on a nearby rock near the mouth of the cave and cocks her head at the familiar faces. Seeing the worgen below, it makes a curious chirping noise.
Raedolf grunts, and offers a nod in greeting to the shapeshifter. “Gooddusk, Kinma.” he grumbles, “Sleep well?” She smiled and nodded “I did thank you. It was not as cold last night for sleeping”
He offers a chuckle. “Tha’s why we sleep at day.” he shrugs. “Though, with gettin’ up earlier in the evenin’ and goin’ t’ sleep later in the mornin’… I’ve had t’ get used to a few night-naps t’ make up for it.”
Kinmara chuckled and shrugged. “Well hopefully the Nightbane come back soon…the wait is killing me…” she sighs, just as the large bird hops to a different rock. It blinks at Raedolf and makes a series of bird calls.
Raedolf stares at the giant black bird perched upon the cave rocks above, and narrows his eyes. “What?” he grunts in question, as if he hadn’t heard right.
The bird makes the same series of bird calls, and shakes, fluffing out her feathers. “Friend. No food. Big.” it caws, in bird. “Nice. Friend” It continues, and makes more bird calls, imitating the worgen below. She turns her floofy attention to Kinma and makes the same series of birdcalls. “Friend. No Food. Big. Nice. Friend.”
Kinma tilted her head, and raised an eyebrow to the other worgen. “What is it Rae?..”
“Remember how tha’ bear, wasn’t a bear?”
“Yeah?..”
“Yeah, this n’s not a bird either. Or… at least… if it is, it’s a real friendly bird.”
Kin turned, and followed Raedolf’s gaze up to the bird, humming then in thought. Raedolf too hums in thought, a discontent low rumbling sound. “Eithah a real smart bird, or a real dumb druid.” Kinmara crossed her arms sighing “Im putting my money on the druid…” She glanced at the bird “How about you come out of bird form?..”
The great avian creature caws once more, and pecks the rock upon which it perched. As feathers shrank and form grew, clothes returned to the shifting form of the druid, fur and fangs growing in soon thereafter. “He’s rude.” the form now replied in Common, standing before them as a worgeness, before promptly shifting, once more, to the familiar form of Astrid, the human woman they knew.
Raedolf snorts in retort, inspiring a hearty chuckle from Kinmara beside him as well. “You got told off by a bird Rae.” he chides, looking between the two.
Raedolf could do naught but sigh, and shake his head, albeit with a smirk of his own. “Tha’s what I get” he sighed, “for bein’… cocky.”
