Catori couldn’t help her eyes sliding an exasperated look at Cole when he asked if she’d be physically carried away. “Really…?” She asked and couldn’t help herself - she laughed a little and shook her head “None here would try to step to this” She said her chest puffing up a little - yeah she was gloating a little … wait why was she showing off for him. She came back to her smooth and cool criminal attitude before glancing around the tent at the angry and hungry eyes. She smirked having watched as Cole returned their looks with a defiant one of his own.<br/><br/>“No and yes - we tend to hunt while on a spirit walk but tonight … it’s not in the air I don’t think.” She took a gentle sniff then shrugged “Just be careful while I’m under - everyone in this tent - including myself could turn on you. Also I would put away the angry look - they may take it as a challenge, and sadly Skin walkers act a little bit to much like a pack when they live so closely to each other. Part of the reason I live off the reserve”<br/><br/>She sighed turning her hazel eyes onto the fire that was held in a circle of rocks at the center of the tent. It wasn’t a large one but it helped to cut across the chill in the night wind.  She watched the tongues of flame flicker and lick at the air her mind momentarily lost in thought. She came back to herself quickly though as Wohali and a cousin walked past her and Cole. Wohali flopped down beside her and threw and arm around her while their cousin made his way to her Elise and bowed his head in respect before moving to her other side.<br/><br/>“Looks like we’re about to start YEEH!” Wohali crowed beside her “This is gonna be great you haven’t walked with us in forever sista” He said then looked at Cole. “Sup…” He said in a strange and way to urban greeting. Wohali had always been one to love the city but he kept his roots firm and acted … well like an outsider none the less.<br/><br/>“shhh” Catori said and he laughed before quieting down.<br/><br/>Elise stepped out of the ring of people surrounding the fire and began to speak in their native tongue Catori decided to act as a quiet translator for Cole.<br/><br/>“Our people … we have walked this earth since long before that of man. We protected the lands the forests, we shed our Skins to intermingle with the Two Leggers and over time many of our kind forgot our purpose in the world. But not us - we are here as the will of our People - to be messengers and protectors of the lands of the forests, Lord Coyote made us so and we walk our path to this day. Our tribe is strong our Pack is more stronger…”<br/><br/>Elise paused and took a deep breath her voice turned into a song and Catori Continued “We’re here to present our pelts, the pelts of our ancestors, to walk the lands, to visit the spirits and to reunite our pact with the pack. Serve us oh mighty Hanwi - goddess of the moon Tsa-la-gi (Coyote)” Catori smirked “Now comes the Moon Glory Flower peyote… here we go!” She sighed and watched as several pipes were passed from person to person started all by their cousin Svnoyi. He took a deep drag from each of the 7 elk bone pipes that were passed around. When Wohali got his first few toks he passed them to Catori and she passed them by Cole, but the ones that were passed from his other side were given to him and Catori looked at him through eyes full of dilated pupils. She seemed uncertain and lost, her mind was already fogging over her body more relaxed while chill bumps raised across her skin.<br/><br/>Her mind was already gone though, she walked silently through a forest of rolling fog, that was still as night on small padded paws. Her pelt was coal black with flecks of silver decorating the ascents of her form. Golden amber eyes watched the forest as she moved - she could hear other animals in the forest with hyper sensitive ears - but she knew there were no hunters out there that could catch her. No it was more than that she could sense them like they were part of - they were her pack.<br/><br/>She heard calls from some of them but her stride didn’t falter she was searching for something but for some reason she couldn’t exactly remember what it was. A soft crooning voice called to her and in time she remembered that voice - it was her Elise, her grandmother, her tribe’s Watcher. She sniffed the air and picked up the pace. She tucked under the brush and skittered around shadowed trees.<br/><br/>Suddenly the forest opened up into a clearing and in the center of that clearing was a great old oak tree. Sitting on the knoll of a root was her Elise - but she was not human - none of the Skin Walkers would appear here as such. No her Elise was the pelt of her first form just like Catori was in her first form, a black foot fox, and her Elise was a great and noble Lynx. Golden green eyes turned to her and the scream of her call was somehow like music to her ears. She crept forward ears tucked back and tail held low she made a soft squawk at the Grandmother Lynx and bared her teeth as she approached.<br/><br/>All this was happening in their minds… in reality Catori’s body had slumped against Cole’s shoulder and her hands were playing idly in the cool grass that was under them. She hummed softly in her daze and made some noises that could be considered a tad big erotic and were mixed into a bunch of soft growls and whines. She sighed and amber eyes turned to look up at Cole a flicker of his face coming into her spirit walk before her form sighed and a soft smile pulled at her lips.
