When she took his hand, he smiled once more. Her questions were interesting and he gave a deep, rumbling chuckle. “A varied combination actually. Some of it is you, some random, and just a touch of me bringing you here. It is a neutral area, until one determines just what it is they want to see, or in our case, what I wish to show you.” He turned and looked and watched the Elk for a heartbeat before scanning the edges of the forest. “If you look to the right, you will see Wolf Brother and his kin gliding amongst the trees.” He paused and watched as the wolves made their way out into the meadow.<br/><br/>As the wolves made their way towards the edge of the herd, Elk Brother’s head rose and he watched them closely. There were times the wolves would just pass by, and other times they were hunting. This was starting to shape up into a Hunting Time. The elk gave a snort as the wolves pressed ever closer. He let out a barking bellow and the heard suddenly mobilized.<br/><br/>The elk didn’t run as the buffalo had before, instead they formed into a circle, the youngest and weakest in the center. The rest of the herd faced outward, heads lowered and pawing the ground. The wolves stopped for several moments and studied the herd, looking for a weak link. Finally thinking they had spotted one, three wolves rushed a smallish looking elk.<br/><br/>They met resistance in the form of not only the elk they’d targeted but the ones to either side of it. The one in the center, tossed its head back and forth and a wolf went sailing through the air to land heavily some distance away. The elk to the left reared up and stopped down with both feet landing and crushing the skull of a wolf not quick enough to get out of the way. While the one on the right made a short charge and butted a wolf in the ribs as it tried to reverse course. The wolves quickly realized no meal would be found here, and slunk off. It was several long moments after the wolves disappeared from sight before the elk finally returned to grazing.<br/><br/>Mikasi looked to the Fey Child and gave her a kind smile. “Mayhap there is someone you can share these lessons with who might help you to figure them out?” Like before, he suddenly seemed to waft away as dirt in the wind, the hand holding the Pixie’s the last thing to go, but left behind in her hand was an object (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/SoaringDragon/RPG%20Story%20Visual/Coyote_jaw_rattle_1_by_lupagreenwolf_zpsf8993712.jpg). At the far edge of the meadow a lone coyote yipped, then trotted off into the forest,<br/><br/>Back in the Pixie’s room, Trickster was again lying below the window. He lifted his head and looked to the Fey Child watching and monitoring for her return.<br/><br/>Makoda caught the key tossed her way with her right hand without even breaking her eye contact with the Shadow Walker. “Of course, Dragon Kin.” His next words caught her attention though and her head swiveled around to look at him. Her eyes narrowed dangerously, but her expression changed to one of curiosity as the Shadow Walker spoke before she could. She blinked at him as he spoke, then one corner of her mouth curled up into an amused half smile.<br/><br/>As his appearance once more changed, she gave a nod of appreciation. When the strange plant started forming and growing towards the Dragon Kin though, she dropped the gifted rose into her lap and softly laid her left hand on his arm, barely making contact. She eyed the Dragon Kin briefly before turning her attentions back to the Shadow Walker. “Perhaps we should carry our conversation elsewhere. Besides, I wish to get a chance to talk to that one later, and if ye kill him, or worse, well, that would be an opportunity lost. Not to mention, there is a<em>possibility</em>he may have knowledge I might need.”<br/>
