Catherine is woken with a strange sensation on her chest. She looks down and lets out a scream.
"Aaaahh, get it of..get it off!" she sweeps at a small animal sitting on top of her. It deftly dodges her blows and scurries around Richards feet.
"Well, that just fine of you.." The creature says as it scampers between Richards feet. "...after me bringin' you breakfast and everything?"
Catherine looks down to see a pile of nuts and berries arranged in a large leaf. She shuffles back and bumps into a tree.
"I'm sorry...I just wasn't..." She says nervously, noticing that the creature is a small squirrel.
The squirrel slowly moves towards her with what appears to be it's best angry look.
"Just wasn't.. WHAT?? Ready? Thinking? Being DAMN respectful?!"
Richard moves in closer and bends down to help Catherine up.
"Shut-up Valerie, I told you she's new." He holds Catherines hand gently and pulls her to her feet.
"Sorry about that. Valerie can have a bit of a temper on her in the morning"
Richard turns to Valerie. "Let's make this easier on her, ok? Change into something more suiting."
"Suiting to her, you mean. All right, give me a minute."
Valerie runns behind a small bush. Noises similar to cracking bones and ripping leather come out, making Catherine wince.
After a minute a small girl comes out.
"There. Is. This. Better?"
Richard suffs Valerie's hair. "Yes, thank you. Catherine, grab your breakfast and let's get going. We need to make up the ground we lost last night."
"And WHO'S fault was that?!" Valerie chimes in
"You know very well, that is our law that we can't leave a new one behind. It will..."
Valerie raises her hand. " Yes, yes, I know... Leaving a new one behind could compromise our exsistance to the Humans."
Richard looks down at her with a smirk. "I did the same thing with you, if you recall?"
Valerie shuffles ahead of them with less than silent grumbles.
"Richard?" Catherine grabs his arm."She's a lycer..lycan.."
"Lycanthropic"
"Thanks...but she's a squirrel?"
"Fox-squirrel if you don't mind!" Valerie shouts back at her. At this point, Valerie is a good 30 yards away from the two and always looking around before seemingly waving them forward. Richard doesn't appear to be paying any attention to her motions.
