A Good Night to Feed (Open)

[Stormy]

The sun has recently gone down, and though Garrik was shaking off the effects of a rough night, or day, full of tossing and turning, Garrisk was complaining of hunger. With a sigh, Garrik dragged his hand through his hair as he shuffled down to the Feeding Grounds with a more-appeased Blue wher following him, hoping it didn't look like he just crawled out of bed. Though if his hair didn't give it away, his expression likely would.

The brisk walk to the Feeding Grounds helped wake Garrik up, but not before the young Garrisk sensed His' frustration. Mine angry at Garrisk? the Blue asked, eyes whirling a worried yellow. Garrik immediately stopped and knelt down in front of His. "Of course not, Garrisk. I just didn't sleep well. I'm sorry to worry you," he said before reaching over and scratching the worried wher on his eyeridge. Then he stood and continued on his way, adding, "Didn't you say you were hungry?" Garrisk bounced up and chased after His. Food! Want! Garrisk hungry! the wher cried, reminded of his hunger.

Upon arriving at the Feeding Grounds, Garrisk sized up the prey options and started stalking a goat. The wher exploded forward, knocking the helpless goat to the ground and tearing at it. Though the sight wasn't the most pleasant, Garrik couldn't help but smile. His wher was turning out to be quite the hunter. Feeling Garrik's pride, Garrisk's head jerked up from his kill before grabbing the mangled body and dragging it over toward His. He dropped the body at the feet of His, looking up, tail wagging slightly. Mine want? Garrik shook his head. "No, it's your kill. Go ahead and eat, Garrisk-love." The hungry wher didn't need further coaxing, shoving his maw back into the goat. Garrik stepped away slightly to avoid the bloody remains, unable to stop himself from thinking how much like a puppy Garrisk was. Then he looked up from his beloved Blue, wondering who else was at the Feeding Grounds.

Virika and Virisk were there as well, Virisk just finishing her own meal. The only evidence the green had been there were a few bloody feathers from the turkeys she had eaten. At that precise moment she was cleaning her forepaws, her eyes whirling a please blue.

Virika was leaning against the fence post, her legs curled up to her chest, and a book was rested on her knees. The girl seemed quite taken with the book she was reading, which was unusual in and of itself. Especially considering said book was a school lesson book. Virika sighed, stretching her arms over her head and yawning. She then closed the book.

Mine... A blue pair have entered the feeding grounds. Perhaps you would like to speak to them? Virisk asked her handler. She glanced at the blue making his kill.

Virika looked around, wondering why she hadn't heard them coming up to the feeding grounds. She hadn't brought her mp3 player with her. And surely she hadn't been concentrating that hard on her book... Had she?

Indeed you were, Virika-Mine. Virisk giggled at her handler.

Virika shot the green a glare. Then she climbed to her feet and waved at the blue handler. He seemed familiar... Was he the one that she and Lakeen had spoken to all those months back?

Motion in the corner of his eye caught Garrik's attention. He looked over toward the source, seeing a girl waving at him. He raised his hand, slight confusion on his face as he tried to place why she looked familiar. Then it hit him. She had been at Garrisk's hatching! He looked down at the Blue devouring the goat, then walked a little closer to the Green and her handler. "Virika, right? You were at the hatching of Samarsk's clutch, weren't you?"

Garrisk snapped up the last bit of bone from his meal, licking the blood from his maw in an attempt to savor the goat flavor. Then he looked over to those His was talking to, noticing Virisk. Virisk-sister! he called, his tail again twitched back and forth like a dog slowly wagging it's tail. He trotted over, excited to see his clutchsister again. How you?

[FaizahPandora]

Virika nodded. "Yeah. I Impressed my green there. I guess that makes my Virisk the sister to your blue. Garrisk, right? And you are Garrik?" She asked, leaping onto the fence to sit on the top beam.

Virisk's eyes gleamed. Hello Garrisk. Virisk is good these days. You? She asked politely.

[Stormy]

Garrisk bounced slightly, glad to hear his clutchsister was doing just fine. Garrisk is good, too. But...Mine is unhappy today, he said, eyes gaining a worried yellow again. Garrisk worried Mine mad at Garrisk for something.

Garrik nodded. "Yeah, I guess that would make them clutchsiblings. And yeah, I'm Garrik and that little love monster over there is Garrisk. I'm sorry if I look disheveled, but Garrisk practically shook me awake a little bit ago, demanding food. For as independant as he is, he refuses to go anywhere without me," he said, giving his wher a fond smile. "I now understand why most riders and handlers don't survive the death of their bonded, and vice versa," he muttered, a frown pulling the corners of his mouth down and knitting his eyebrows together.

[FaizahPandora]

Virika nodded solemnly. "I'd rather not think about that..." She whispered, glancing at Virisk. Virika refused to think about what might happen if she lost the beloved green wher. It was an unbearable thought, even at an objective view point.

Virisk glanced back at Hers and Garrisk's. She blinked a few times before turning back to her clutchbrother. Do not worry, Garrisk. Yours would tell you if he were upset, Virisk is sure. the green told the blue.
