As the sun began to light up the world around her, Reyna stretched , and cautiously made her way to the stream , her paws padding silently across the soft forest floor. Her nose twitched, trying to sniff out any danger as she sunk her muzzle into the cool water, and began drinking. A sound caught her attention, and she lifted her head, terrified her enemies had managed to sneak up on her. A soft breeze carried the newcomers scent, and she was relieved to smell only a deer lurking in the shadows of a nearby tree. Her stomach rumbled at the thought, her last meal having been a rabbit the day before, but she knew there was very little chance of her catching a deer on her own.

Azri's eyes narrowed as he slowly moved towards his new target. The deer he had caught scent of a few miles back had finally shown itself. He knew the moment was coming, he could feel that old familiar rush building up in him, that energy he feels anytime he moves in for a kill, his only friend these days. As it tilted its head down for for its last drink, he moved in without thinking. With but a seconds passing his body had moved from the hiding spot a few feet away, straight to his prey. He hadn't even landed before his jaws were plunging into the soft meat of the deers flesh, piercing, digging directly to its spine. Another mere moment, a quick snap and the cool clear water began to tint red with the blood of the, now silent and still creature...

Reyna caught the scent of the male just as he approached. She smelt the blood the the deer as he took it's life , and she backed away slowly. Her stomach growled in protest..begging her to fight for a taste. She ducked her head, sniffing, unable to recognize the male standing just across the stream from her. She hesitated, then decided it was better to wait, and find out what his intentions were, as there was little chance of her escaping.

He could taste the blood on his tongue as the deer lay there collapsed. His eyes followed the blood in the stream until something else caught his eye. Immediately his fur stood on end and he ducked down prepared for a fight. He stopped short though, as the female across the stream gave no hint of aggression. He stood tall, looking at her across the shallow stream. He did not say anything yet, he just looked on, taking in her form.

Reyna ducked her head and stepped back, her unseeing eyes showing her fear as she tried to decide what the best choice would be. She licked her lips, a small wimper escaping her mouth. The smell of the deer was driving her crazy. She took another step back, ears twitching. "Why are you here?" She called out to him, trying to keep her voice steady, in spite of her fear. She knew not, whthered he had noticed her or not, but waiting was only postponing the inevitable.

"Peace," His voice a force of power all its own, the tone deep, and authoritative,"I have no intention of harming you, if you mean no harm..."

"I harm none, it is others that seek to harm me. " She hesitantly stopped retreating, and looked in the direction his voice came from. Her ears twitched, taking in each chirp, each and every noise around her, in constant fear of being attacked.

He watches as she twitches this way and that. As he watches her he realizes why she is the way she is. He knows that fear, knows that terror from the unknown. Something deep inside of him echoes, something he remembers well... Fear. He sees on her as clear as her fur, and then he realizes he must have startled her greatly with his kill. "I- I'm sorry if I startled you. I had been stalking this deer for a ways now..."

"you did..I thought, they had come for me. " She whispered, sitting on the edge of the stream. She dared not approach,not willing to risk the chance of him getting aggressive over his prey. "I noticed her. But I am unable to take down large prey very easily on my own. " She looked toward him, her piercing blue eyes searching for that which she could not see.

Her eyes unsettle him. He shifts unconsciously as she gazes on him. "A-are you hungry?" He asks, stepping back from the edge of the shore, "there is more than enough here for me. I don't want to waste..."

Her stomach betrayed her, rumbling loudly at the thought. "I..yes. " she whispered, hesitantly stepping into the stream. "Are you sure, you really want to associate with me?" The bloody water swirled around her white paws, staining them. "If they catch you , they will hunt you too."

"I can handle myself..." He said a wicked grin alighting his face. He steps back, his toes digging into the soft soil near the stream. "Eat your full," Azri said, beginning to turn as he did so, "I'll keep watching, and have whatever is left." His eyes narrow once more as he peered through the woods surrounding them, his ears perked up, straining to hear any sound that may be a threat.

She hesitated, stepping slowly toward the carcass. As she came closer, it was evident it had been some time since she had ate anything substantial. Her ribs showed through her thick fur. "Please..she's your kill. I wouldn't feel right, eating while you kept watch. " A nearby twig snapped, causing her to freeze in place as she sniffed out whatever was lurking in the trees. It was only a rabbit, hopping about. She forced herself to move toward the deer, still Leary if she could trust him. "I...I'm sorry if I'm jumpy, or I stare too much. I'm blind. Thats why they want to kill me."

Azri turned, his brow furrowed in confusion, "They want to kill you because you cannot see?" As she approached the kill he could see how things she was, and how cautious she was being. He felt the pangs of sadness, no wonder she was so wary; hunted for such a trifling reason, unable to hunt easily herself... Having heard the rabbit, he snifs towards her, then turns away again. "You take the deer, I have no taste for these larger game, the rabbit is more my flavor" and with mere seconds preparation he was upon the small creature.

She hesitated, having never been treated with such kindness before. Her ears twitched, as she listened to him. The smell of the meat drew her toward it, as her stomach growled, begging for a meal. She briefly wondered, if it was some sort of trick..if he had poisoned the meat, but then decided it was worth the risk. She didn't have much to live for anyway. Letting her senses guide her to the carcass, she bit into the soft flesh. A single taste of it drew her over the egde, and she began ravenously consuming it. After she had consumed enough to ease the pain of hunger, she stopped, turning toward him and answering his question. "They killed my entire pack, because of me. Every moment you spend in my presence, your life is in danger."
Though her stomach no longer growled, she struggled with herself not to continue eating. She had no idea when she would be able to consume her fill again.
