Eydis | Zaquar | Early Summer
An ear flicked to the sound of rustling in the wood, it wasn't too close by to worry about so Eydis didn't stop drinking. She at least knew she wasn't alone but she didn't know how much time she had to scamper off to avoid a conversation. Before she could make any calculations the sounds of explosions erupted through the trees, scattering the birds and sending Eydis's head up so hard and fast she toppled backwards onto her flanks in the creek. Eyes wide as she sat in the water, looking around in shock as her heart raced in her chest, hoping to find the source of this disruptive cacophony of thunder and screams.
.
Her head whipped around as she caught a glimpse of gold and red through the trees, watching their sparks trickle down through the air before scattering across the ground and snuffing out. The fae weren't usually so flamboyant, so she knew this wasn't one of their tricks. Ears flattened back against her mane as she caught the shadowy outline of a Quirl past the trees, snorting out a huff of frost in a cloud that quickly dissipated in the heat.
.
"Show yourself!" She demanded, pushing herself back onto her feet and shaking the water from her coat as she turned to face this stranger. Her tail end flicked back and forth rapidly as she narrowed her gaze to try to see through the glaring sunshine better, lifting her head a bit to make herself taller and whacking her horns on a low limb from a nearby tree. The hollow 'clo-clonk' of both horns hitting the branch echoed above the creek as she winced, blinking to keep the debris out of her eyes as loose leaves and pollen fell into her vision.
.
"Dangit, cmon. Not today!" Eydis hissed under her breath as she tried to regain her posture with more caution this time as she picked her head back up to face this stranger.
