Blackberry Fields swear to god i'm the devil

Random Event: Inger, you have inadvertently angered a bull bison. He has taken offense to your close proximity and is charging.
For @Rayjiek only.

Inger had forgotten what it felt like to have energy and strength that did not come solely from her own dogged determination. Fed, rested, hydrated for the first time in far too long, she nearly was a new wolf. The revitalization had given strength to her estrus as well, making her more playful and forgiving of her companion's eccentricities. She felt light, almost happy here in the graveyard of a berry patch. It would pass, and she knew that, but even Inger could concede the wisdom in taking advantage of the unexpected oasis now that she'd tasted its fruit.

Her nose snuffed along the ground, tracking the scent of hare. She was focused on it, the tickle in her stomach demanding she procure more meat, and the wind was working against her, pulling her scent away from her and toward a towering bison with dark eyes and a vicious mean streak. He regarded her with hate, and began to scuff at the muddying ground with a hefty hoof. His intent to trample her was clear, and still Inger remained oblivious.

Ahh. Morning. Smell air. Smells fresh, crisp. Hmm wonder what hungry girl doing. Look around, don't see. Must be outside. Go looking for hungry girl. Sniff..sniff.. oh there hungry girl is...No! No! stupid, stupid girl! Big cow will kill! No done with girl yet, can't die! Run! Run! Growl bark, bite. Odin Eye will block big cow from stupid girl.

"Løp jente! Stor ku vil drepe! gå tilbake til hulen!"
(Run girl! Big cow will kill! go back to cave!)

Stupid stupid girl. Need to protect..cow snorting. Look mad. Snap at feets. Cow step, growl loudly, assert dominance. This girl is not cows! Cow can't have!

Inger heard Rayjiek and the alarm in his voice as he barked harshly. The sound made her jump, and she wheeled round to face him. Before her beryl eyes could land as intended, they froze upon the bison's ugly visage. Her legs locked and she felt lightheaded.

Run. Kill. Cave.

She took a step, but he was standing his ground. In the next moment, the fiery drive that was her marker kicked in. She rocketed to his side, her stance spread and steady while her own fangs bared and she unleashed a cacophony of snarls and barks. He had bit at it's ankles, but she wasn't so sure she wanted to get that close to those heavy hooves.

The beast snorted with rageful indignance, but it no longer looked prepared to run them down. It was considering, sizing up its opponents' united front.

Girl, why no run to cave?! Said to Run! Cow will kill! Bark, bark, yelp yelp, drive away cow. Cow need to leave. Cow grumbles, turns, leaves? Fended off cow for now. Still, girl should have left for cave just in case.

"Hvorfor lyttet ikke? Kunne ha dødd. Det ville vært ille."
(Why didn't listen? Could have died. That would been bad.)

Girl stubborn. Fearless? Maybe? Unsure. Anyway, glad toy is safe and can still chaos. Would have been bummer.

"Var du redd? Har du noen gang sett en stor ku før?"
(Were scared? Ever seen big cow before? )

Stretch, walk around girl, make sure not injured, don't like playthings hurt. Hmmm. Girl looks okay. Just scared. Good. This is nothing to be scared of. Not yet Hehehe.

Thankfully, their combined threat was enough to cause the large beast to reconsider. She didn't settle down until it was sure to have left completely, a great sigh leaving her jaws. That had been close... Rayjiek echoed the sentiment aloud, and through the admonishment she saw only concern for her safety. Inger smiled and rolled her eyes affectionately at his words before shaking out her coat and returning to the scents she'd been analyzing.

"Nei. Hvorfor skulle jeg være redd? Jeg har deg," she answered simply, tone almost playful.
(No. Why would I be scared? I have you.)

It didn't amaze her that there were novel creatures in this new land, Inger had known stranger things.

Reyjiek couldn't help but grin at Inger's words. He knew that his plan was all starting to come together. With her trust he would be able to do what it was he intended. Chaos. He wanted chaos oh so badly. He had already had some chaos with the one he called "barking asshole" and soon he would have more chaos with Inger. He tried to not show his excitement.

"Vel, med kua borte burde ikke ha noe å være redd for."
(Well, with cow gone shouldn't have anything to be scared of. )

He stretched his back and walked over to Inger still grinning.

"Jente modigere enn Odin øye trodde. Bare ikke vær dum."
(Girl braver than Odin eye thought. Just don't be stupid.)

With this he let the girl think about what had just happened as he walked away, still keeping an eye on her.

He called her brave, and it made her chest swell with pride. She beamed back at him, eyes pinched into crescent moons her grin was so large. As far as Inger was concerned, she couldn't have asked for a better friend.

Bare ikke vær dum.

The arctic wolf snorted as Rayjiek turned his back, going his own way. Her brows knit with a playful determination as she bounded after him, insisting, "Jeg er aldri dum! Jeg lette etter mat!"
( I'm never stupid! I was looking for food! )

If able to come even with his side, she'd also throw her shoulder into his, giving him a fraternal shove to drive home her point. If only she knew...
