It shouldn't have been surprising that the hawk was in a bad mood again, the words in bold blue and red on his purple plumage did him justice. His talons moved as he shifted his weight on his other paw and sharp pointed claws dug slightly in the ground as they met with the cold soil. The usually spread wings where folded tightly against his body to keep as warm as possible, the snow was gone but that didn't mean that the cold was gone as well. He usually didn't care for temperature, but he also didn't want to take chances today. The hawk sighed and moved forward once more, he had to gather food. He was in a rather... tight situation and had to gather food instead of simply.. buying it. His wing extended and he took a delicate blueberry from its branch and put it in the small satchel by his side. That done he moved again, eyes scanning the grounds for something that he could eat. He couldn't survive on berries alone, he also needed meat. It looked as if he wouldn't have much success today though and a shiver ran over his spine. He would have to sell himself again, either with music or other. The thought alone to do anything else than make music to earn music disgusted him, but he would do it if it meant that he wouldn't have to gather food again and could live comfortable for a while again. It was the third time it had happened to him, from the day that he lived alone and he really should start to stop letting this happen. The choice nonetheless also seemed to be taken out of his claws, he tried his best but it was never enough. Ah, a berry. He stretched to take one and before he could comprehend what had happened a rock had hit him. He almost cried out and pulled the hurt limb close to him, looking up with narrowed eyes. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to gather food anymore for today. He only hoped that the amount that he did gather would be enough. [OOC: Always giving my characters a hard time XD Enjoy!] |

Menefer really didn't know where he was at at the moment. He had gotten himself lost once again trying to find those book stores that would sell them to outsiders. He had heard of one village that was high up and away from most other places. This one place seemed to be a bit more kinder to strangers. All he wanted was the : Villa en Miir cook book. He would sigh at the thought as he already carried many in his backpack. It was starting to get a bit heavy due to the books being so large. He hoped along the path on all three legs, his one leg bound to his side at a angle that people would think would rot off, and yet it was all well. He had a large smile on his face as he moved through the cold bone chilling cold. Good thing he had fur... thats all he could think about. He heard something out just beyond the path. Maybe who ever it was could tell him how to get to the Villa village that he was looking for. "Hello! Anyone out there? Or am I just going crazy?" he asked as he picked his way slowly off the path trying to find what ever made the noise. |

He was ready to continue, this time using his other limb and making careful that there couldn't land other rocks on.
He froze however as a voice rang out, breaking the near silence that he had been in. His wing lowered and he looked up once more "If you count anyone as me, then yes." He called back, his voice breaking the silence further like heavy bells.
It was to wonder who would be out now, it wasn't unusual but it wasn't common either. He spread his wings halfway, stopped by spreading them further as pain registered in his mind again, a slight scowl in that direction and they were folded against his sides once more.
The wing that wasn't hurt moved the satchel out of the way and he made his way toward the direction the voice had come from. He wasn't curious, but it would be considered nice that he hadn't let another lost soul get lost further.
I hope this is worth it.. He thought, bitter I could do better things with my time than helping lost cards find their way to our Villa en Miir.. He was proud of the fact that he was a pure Villa en Miir card and a heart on top of that I really hope that this would be enough for today and that the pain will be gone. He didn't look brighter at the fact at what he had to do if he couldn't use his wing.

He tried to move stuff out of the way with his mouth and his forepaw, but sometimes it was rather hard to stay balanced on two paws, and having about fifty plus pounds on ones back. He felt more and more like some pack mule each day... if only he could get an assistant, which would help soo much, even when he opens his restaurant one day. He gave a sigh as he finally stopped and heard someone else's voice coming closer to him as well. Well... it was a nice little clearing after all that he was standing in for the moment.
"Oh good, so I'm not crazy." he said as he gave a bit of a laugh as he sat on his haunches dropping his backpack on the ground, groaning as the contents spilled across the ground making a racket that made him cringe. The pots and pans were all over now, even some of the dried and fresh foods that he had.
His seasons were on the ground now, his fresh fruits, and even his meats where everywhere... he sighed as he started to pick up the packages.

He almost snorted, he couldn't answer that question. To him, every card was insane and if one denied that... well, he wouldn't fight for something as stupid as that. He brushed his plumage down, trying to appear more presentable than a full vagabond would be.
His talon was placed on the ground of the clearing as an enormous ruckus sounded. He almost fled the place, not familiar with such sounds in a place where only beauty seemed to exist. He forced his muscles to lock and peered at the Cat sitting there. The cat had lowered the pack on his back and it had spilled its contents.
He felt neutral, not really judging someone by their realm. He couldn't help but to look at the food and feel jealousy flare, things that he couldn't eat today as he had no money and he couldn't gather them further. He had to clench his beak tightly and let his head fall to the side lightly instead.
He finally moved forward, picking up something that rolled up farther than the rest and offered it, balancing on one paw "Here.." He offered lightly, maybe he wouldn't be in a too bad mood today then. Well, it wouldn't worsen too much at least.

Menefer looked up at the Villa, oh, he was rather pretty! He gave a smile and thanked the card for his help and then proceeded to place a few more things in the large backpack that he had with him. He smiled as he looked at it and then gave a small frown as his stomach started to turn and growl. He blushed as much as he could be shown as he looked back down on the ground and then back up at the card.
"Well... I guess that It appears that I'm a bit hungry as of yet." he said as he noted the way that the card stood and the posture of the food in the area. "Would you care to join me? he asked as he pulled out a large pot that hadn't fallen out and a water skin and started to fill the pot.
He would look back up at the bird and smile largely "Would you mind fetching some wood so I can start a fire for the two of us so we can eat? Since you helped me out and all." he said as he pulled out a knife and a few vegetables cutting them delicately, and expertly.

He blinked surprised as the stomach of the other card growled, he would have expected that his stomach would be the first to demand something that would fill it. He didn't notice the blush, maybe lucky. He wouldn't have known what to do otherwise, not used that someone did something around him besides talking.
He nodded lightly, almost smiling. The keyword being almost "It seems like it." He agreed. He again looked at himself, wing brushing against the scarf once more. He still didn't really know how he had gotten it, but he didn't want to pull it off and place it somewhere safe. The offer was unexpected, welcome but unexpected. Angavar still felt awkward by it however, no one had really extended such an offer to him. But it seemed too good to refuse and he nodded his head in agreement.
The cat's attention was pulled away though and there was no chance that he would have seen the nod "Sure.." He finally dragged out. He lowered his gaze as the Torque looked at him and smiled widely, another thing he wasn't used to. He nodded again, echoing the word he had said a minute or two before that. He took the satchel off and placed it on the ground "Feel free to take the berries in it." It was a way to repay the other somewhat for the food he offered.
He finally turned, going to gather some food like the other had wanted him to. He was feeling nice, or was it just the fact that he wanted to escape for a few minutes to stroke his emotions down again. The shock didn't really help and he should pull himself together again.

Such a nice card, Menefer thought as he started to add the vegtiables to the pot, then turning to add some beef tenderloin, and a few choice herbs. He took the pouch that was offered and looked into it. Oh nice! There was fresh berries in there. He smiled as he took out some dried fruit of his own and started to make travlers cakes as well.
Menefer was one of those people that loved to cook and loved to have people love his cooking. So any time that he had the ability to feed someone was a milestone in his life. He smiled as he finished a few more of his travlers cakes and then smiled once more when he saw the bird coming back.
"The name is Menefer de Cook. I feed people all across the realms, be he filthy rich, or down right poor. For One day I will be the Realms greatest cooks!" he said ending with a paw into the air as then he blushed once more and sat back down on his haunches and placed the wood under the pot, then using some tinder sticks and started to make the fire.
Soon the fire would ablaze and the smells coming from the pot was wonderful. Nothing like Wilderness Stew to fill the gut after all. "So what is your name my friend?" he asked as he smiled once more stirring the pot slowly letting the foods cook throughly.

He did smile lightly this time as the other spoke so highly of his own talents. It did smell nice and very tempting for this hungry hawk, he wouldn't make the other's head larger than it was however. He did not exist for doing such things "A pleasure, I'm sure." He offered to the other.
The blush had him almost acting nicer, but the time he had spend gathering the food withheld him from that. The reign on his emotions tight once more and he brushed it away from his mind. The comment that he would make food for even the poorest had him easing his heart. It seemed that he would have to comment about it a bit later.
"Angavar." He answered the question about his name, feeling slightly guarded. He liked that someone was nice to him, but most of the time -in his experience- it was because they wanted something and he couldn't push that away from the front of his mind.
"And am I not glad to hear it." He spoke again, eyes even more guarded "I am low on money at the moment.." He hesitated, making an offer he -again in his experience- would surely regret later "I'm willing to pay you otherwise however.." He paused lightly.
"Music, a tour around Villa en Miir..." He trailed off, sounding almost suggestive to the untrained ear.

Menefer looked up at him, how he said that he would pay for something that he always gave away for free. It was rather weird for someone to offer money for something like food. Food was something that was rather plentiful. All he could do was quark an eyebrow and then smile up at the card.
"Food is plentiful in the world, everyone can get it, and it shouldn't be priced." he said as he shrugged and then fished out two bowls for future filling. He looked up as he tasted the stew with a spoon before commenting on something else.
"Well, if you feel like you have to pay me back some how, I guess that you could show me to the nearest book store so I can purchases the Complete Villa Cook Book." he said with a smile as he fished out the food and another wine skin that had water inside. "What is your favorite fruit or drink?" he asked as he placed the water skin on the ground.
