Excuse me.

[ There is a very annoyed witch standing not too far away, leaning against a tree with her arms crossed. ]

Could you please try not to eat every bird in the forest? I need them. Could you not eat other animals instead?

[ From all the italicizing going on here, she clearly has a problem with this Woof. ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

[It's hard to speak when there's a pretty lady around glowering at you.

Also when your mouth is full of turkey.

Mostly the latter. He lifts his head, alarmed and blood-smeared, and awkwardly swallows down the mouthful he's got. When he opens it to speak, he instead...hacks up a couple of feathers. Nice.]

I, uh. I mean I...could go to Norrington's farm and pick off some of his sheep, but he might shoot me for it? Do you...need some feathers?

[aceso]

[ Pushing her weight off the tree, she saunters forward, a bit of a huff coming out from between her lips. ]

He probably would. And yes, I need feathers. [ She stoops to collect a few, waving them in the air as if that will get his spit off them. ] For a protection totem. By the way, if you happen to see smaller birds with white paper tied to their feet, don't eat them. I use them to carry messages.

[motherfucking_ghost]

No, no, I don't fuck with those. I take that to mean like...marked property. I try not to go for property. Hence...hunting.

Didn't see any paper tied to this clucker, so fair game far as I'm concerned. Maybe you should find your own turkey. [He means it to sound a little aggressive like a warning. It more comes out petulant. Like he could go nyeh at the end and it wouldn't be out of place.]

[aceso]

Why would I tie a message to a turkey?

[ She gives him a quizzical look before opening a satchel with its strap slung across her chest and putting the feathers in. She'll wash them at home. ]

Are there any left? Or have you wiped the forest clean?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Be...cause I don't know, that'd be weird.

[He sits, almost obediently, in an odd crouching sort of sit where his hand-paws rest in the earth between his legs.]

Hey, you act like I'm runnin' around out here eating everything in sight! Haven't eaten you yet, have I?

[aceso]

Exactly. The turkeys I need are for feathers, not message sending.

[ She smirks a little at the way he sits and at what he says. ]

And you won't either. Not unless you want me to burn your insides out.

[ She lifts a pendant of silver on a silver chain. It's a simple upside down triangle. Then she drops it back to rest against her chest. ]

I've never seen you before in this forest. Are you newly arrived?

[motherfucking_ghost]

[As much as a wolfy face can frown, he frowns. Maybe casually leans away.]

Could be I'm expanding my territory.

Could be I'm a new wolf with no pack, dangerous and wild and crazy and I'm gonna bite everything that moves.

Could be I'm just so sneaky and stealthy you never see me.

[aceso]

I'm quite sure I'd be able to hear you from a mile away.

[ And she laughs, unafraid. Maybe she'd be a bit more cautious if he actually seemed prone to bite everything that moves, but he seems more pouty at being caught than anything else. ]

There's a balance to the forest. Everyone takes what they need without depriving others. If you're here to stay, you must abide by that.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Sheesh, you eat one turkey and then suddenly it's the whole circle of life balancing act! [He scritches an ear with a hindpaw.] If I'd known I was gonna have the witch police on my tail for doing what a wolf do, I woulda found another neck of the woods to wander into.

[aceso]

It was merely me making you aware.

[ Okay, she may have a slight prejudice against werewolves who eat all the local fauna. Just because he says he doesn't do that doesn't mean she can take it at face value. ]

We wouldn't want you making a faux pas that has the witch police coming after you in force, would we?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Heheh. Faux paws. I see what you did there. [Maybe it wasn't intentional, but he saw it!]

[aceso]

[ Her eyebrows lift in surprise before she lets out an unexpected laugh. ]

I didn't even mean to. Witty without realizing it.

[ Her head shakes. ]

Anyway, what's your name, stranger?

[motherfucking_ghost]

I...dunno I should give it. Witches can do shit with names, right? Maybe you should just call me Alpha, cuz I'm the alpha wolf around here. [He puffs his chest out. Aww, look, he thinks he's a big bad wolfer!]

[aceso]

Oh, not me. I prefer to use hair. Or fur, as the case may be.

[ The way she's smiling might suggest she's teasing, but it's hard to say for sure with her. ]

Alpha, hm? Where is your pack if you're the alpha? It seems like you aren't keeping a close eye on them.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I'm the alpha of my own life. Lone wolf. Chicks dig lone wolves, right? [His tail might be wagging just a hair.]

[aceso]

[ She tilts her head, giving him an "oh, please" look. ]

Isn't a lone wolf just another way of saying "doesn't have any friends?"

[motherfucking_ghost]

Wow, I'll have you know I have plenty of friends.

They're just...less furry...

[aceso]

Indeed? Well, consider me proven wrong. I suppose no witches prove among their number?
