The day had been pretty uneventful. Ashling had simply been hiking through Silvaria, exploring the area with little to show for it. As the hours waned, she eventually decided to settle down and set up camp. Her tent was pitched, and a small fire had been started. Now she just needed to hunt for something to eat. Whether that was meat or vegetation, she had little preference.
So Ashling pulled her bag on and set out on the prowl. Her soft paws made little sound on the forest floor. She found some blackberries and took some time to harvest several handfuls of them, but they would be more for flavor than sustenance. Wrapping them up in a small pouch, she continued on until a sound caught her ears.
The shadows were starting to grow long as the sky tinted orange, and her green eyes widened to take in more light. A rabbit hopped through the underbrush, and Ashling pulled out a hunting knife and set her bag down quietly before crouching. So long as nothing interrupted, she should be able to sneak up on it...

Unfortunately for the burgundy haired lass, another predator had already set theri eyes on the same prey. A lean, jet black wolf figure, dressed up in what seemed rather weird and advanced looking armor for the guy to be a native inhabitant of the region. One detail popped out far more than all the grey and yellow accents as the lithe Xelike dropped from up above, catching the bunny alive.
Three letter embossed on the chest plate, NSD, and the Regnum's symbol on the black wolf's shoulder pads. The canine had a lithe build, was fairly tall and a remarkably black fur very smooth and shiny. Fluffy tail and a tuft of furn on the guy's head had been dyed in a bright, almost neon, yellow. The whole yellow deal seemed to compensate for his golden eyes. He certainly didn't look like any normal werewolf. Those tend to be more...thick in muscle mass.
Yusaku firmly held the bunny in his own hand-paws, not allowing escape but not pressuring nor hurting the little thing.
"Gotcha ya lil sneaky thing! Finally got you. Man, I didn't know I had to run at bunnies the same as I do for ladies..." He mumbled in a cocky tone. The wolf was evidently proud of the feat and stunt he had just pulled off. He seemed too focused on the little bunny to even acknowledge the cat girl just behind his back.

A loud squeak involuntarily escaped Ashling as a big black wolf suddenly dropped onto her prey, though evidently he didn't hear her. Or was ignoring her. The cocky tone as he mentioned running at ladies only made her blood boil more.
"Hey!" she called, picking up her bag and getting to her feet. "That was my prey! You can't just snipe someone's hunt like that!" Especially not when it was getting late out. "I already had a fire set up for it and everything." Not that that entitled her more to the kill, but in her head it was still a compelling argument.

Yusaku didn't have the time to turn around properly before being assaulted by a crazy cat lady yelling about the bunny he just caught. The black furred xelike blinked twice as he stared at the burgundi haired lass with a blank expression on his face. The whole charade lasted for a couple of moments before the wolf's snout turned into a cocky grin.
"Hm. This is free real estate, princess." He stated, waving his paw hand at the scenery behind him while still keeping the bunny in his right paw.
"Wind blows, rain falls and finders keepers. This little pal is coming with me. Unless you really want to eat it, in which case I believe you and your knife there might need to go through me first."
The wolf began petting the bunny, slowly circling the cat eared woman with theatrical walking. "So...cat ears...a bell around the neck...you must be part of those kinfolks I heard of. So, who was the cute little kitty? Mom or dad?"

Ashling blushed furiously as the rude wolf called her princess. Finders keepers. Yeah? Well she'd found it! Ugh. Might need to go through me first. Uuugh. Fuck it, she wasn't going to get into a fight just to avoid hunting new prey. "It's not worth it, you take it."
But then he began taunting her. Implying that one of her parents was a literal housecat by the sounds of it? Ew! Not... that Ashling would even know?? Her ears flattened aggressively. "I never knew my blood parents, asshole!" the cat ironically barked. "What about you? What's it like being a son of a bitch?" If he was gonna be a dick, so could she.

"My my, little princess here has quite the temper! Such a ray of sunshine too." Yusaku chuckled without a care in the world. "I'd give a year of my life to not know my parents. One was a drunktard rich guy that ran himself into the ground with shrooms and drinks while mother...well...she used to turn her attention to the highest bidder indeed, so to speak. To answer your question, it is something I wouldn't want my worst enemy to experience. Not something you may enjoy, little cat."
Still keeping on his theatrical demeanor, the wolf slowly closed the distance between the two to walk past her, sneaking in a little pat on her head. "Well, Sunshine, are you coming or what?" He called of once he was a few feet away from the cat girl. "Weren't you hungry? I'd love to treat her highness to a meal, but by all means please stand right there all day. I am sure some of the monsters around here would love to get a bite out of such spicy meal."

Ugh, what a pretentious ass. So his parents weren't perfect. Who fucking cared? And his mom especially. Didn't he know what amazing things prostitutes often did for burgeoning villages? It was a perfectly respectable profession, and he was acting like it was a horrifying thing to have to be near. What a jerk.
Her ears, still flat, twitched when he pat her head. "Watch it." But then, to her surprise, he invited her to dinner? Like she'd want-- her stomach growled, betraying her. Ugh... "Hey now," she did at least protest. "I'm not abandoning my camp, and it's nearby." The rabbit was probably big enough to feed them both, she guessed. "If you wanna share, why don't you come back there and let me cook it since you caught it, I guess..." She was muttering a bit, but trying to at least vaguely sound amiable.

"Oh this?" He asked, the rabbit still in his paws. "Oh no, we aren't eating this little fella. This little fluffbal is worth alot of Florence around the parts I am from."
Yusaku kept on walking, forcing the cat girl to follow him if she wanted to take advantage of his generous meal offer. "I'm Yusaku. By the way. Yusaku Izumi. Not from this world, if you're wondering. you don't see many Xelyke around now , do ya?"
Humming happily to his own thoughts, the black wolf hopped around the lush woods with ease, showing his rather uncommon dexterity. He did seem well versed in travelling across rough terrain. More over, he didn't seem to be wearing amy regular shoes. Perhaps he enjoyed a more light outfit or his feet paws gave him more traction than a boot ever would. Either way the little cat girl would either have to follow him or risk losing the black wolf in the thick forest.

What. Seriously? He wasn't even gonna eat the damn thing? What was it for, a pet? Wasn't catching wild animals for the pet trade like a form of poaching or--? Whatever.
"Dunno what the fuck a Xelyke is but I've seen an anthro before buddy." What an arrogant prick.
When he headed off, she debated following for about half a second, but said fuck it. She could find another rabbit, or maybe a pheasant or something. She didn't really want to deal with his smug face anymore than she had to, and she'd already made it clear she wasn't going to leave her camp for too long. So she headed off the other direction, hoping not to encounter the 'Xelyke' again.

Sadly for Ashling, the two would reunite quite soon.
Yusaku placed the bunny on the merchant's lap. "There you go sir. Your little lady can now enjoy a nice fluffy pet. Just make sure to keep it well fed with all kinds of veggies. Who knows. Perhaps it will inspire yer little princess to eat good food too."
The merchant seemed satisfied. "Why thank you young man." The elder replied with a bow of his head, petting the rabbit with one hand. "I am quite impressed, you have been exceptionally fast. Is there anything more I can do for you?"
The jet black wolf bowed at the man. "It is not my first dance. Hunting is my specialty, I've been doing it for as long as I remember. Usually with bigger prey. No need for further compensation."
The merchant gavve Yusaku a warm smile nodded, watching the xelike take his leave. "Still, it's prett impressive, considered the danger roaming in these forests lately." He shouted at him. Yusaku's ears flicked. The wolf stopped walking and turned around, his ccuriosity captivated.
"...What danger?" The Xelyke asked.
"Oh I have been hearing things about an unusual pack of wolves being spotted around. My clients said they had incredibly sharp fangs and a hide as black as the night itself. Perhaps even darker than yours, young lad."
Yusaku's golden eyes widened. "Oh no." he thought.
"Yes yes." The merchant added. "quite aggressive of a pack. Still, you've come back safe and sound, so for that I am happy."
Yusaku slowly walked over to the merchant. "Actually, if it wouldn't bother you too much, I would like to know if your clients have specified exactly what part of the forest they saw these peculiar wolves." Glancing up, the Xelyke pointed to a spot behind the merchant. "And I would like to borrow that for the night."
----------------------
The sun was going down. The sun was going down. It was almost night and still he hadn't found her. She said she was camping in the forest? That was bad. Blacktooth come out at night. If she did hunt something and was cooking it, the smell would surely attract attention. He just hoped his own nose would find her scent before the Pack. He needed to hurry.
