Tala had flown away and not long after had spotted a wonderful tasty meal! She knew it would take some fighting but thought that a large Wild boar would feed them for a few days. She winged left then right as she fell down upon her prey. Tala screeched her war cry as she was about to snatch the tasty meal from the small mud puddle it had decided to rest in. I have you now, Tala shouted in her mind!<br/><br/>She missed... she missed? Her high speed maneuver left her no time to pull up as she splashed down hard into the muddy waters... the large Boar oinking its laugh as it ran off back into forest. Tala pooped out of the muddy pool, covered in mud. Shaking as much of it off as she could, she needed dinner and a bath so much more now. Darn it! She thought angry at herself for missing a wonderful meal. A few moments later she was clean enough to take flight... She wasn't usually into poaching, but she had spotted a small tribe of people walking over the hills not far back... quickly as she could she took back off and winged back around. Tala didn't want to do this but she wasn't having much luck hunting.<br/><br/>Tala grudgingly decided that eating was better then not eating and swallowed her pride, flying off with a sheep that had strayed a bit further away. She was heading back with her catch in talon, stopping along the way to skin and clean the animal out here in the wilds. She didn't want her little Mate to freak out... Tala the strix ate up the innards that she knew would disgust her mate Mira. Tala wasn't about to leave good eating go to waste. She was off quickly as the hour was growing late, she was still hungry but stopped by a stream to wash herself off a bit... she wasn't really in the mood to explain why she was so dirty and just thinking about the embarrassing hunting incident was just making her head hurt. She didn't bath as much as she splash in the water and winged her way back.<br/><br/>Changing back to normal and seeing the fire ready for food, she quickly set up the sheep for roasting. Making sure to cut a few slabs of meat and slicing them thinly. She wanted the sheep to roast slowly and this way they'd still get their meal.<br/><br/>“Miss me?” Tala stated as she sat back and enjoyed the little campsite and the fresh smells of roasting sheep. She didn't say anything about the fact she was still... filthy.
