Kiela paced in frustration. Lono was taking forever! She flexed her claws and dug them into the dirt.
"He says he needs to get one thing and it ends up taking him the entire afternoon!" She growled softly to herself.
The tent flaps of the teepee beside her rustled and Lono emerged. As soon as he was clear of the leather he shifted and dove down in front of her. He gave her a pert bow and then began to laugh. Kiela's muscled bunched under her silver coat and she dug her claws into the ground, preparing to spring. That would teach the little bird a thing or two.
Lono continued to laugh but backed up a few hasty steps.
"Patience or you'll never catch anything." He told her.
"Patience? You kept me waiting for thirty five minutes!" She barked indignantly. "What did you need to get anyways?"
"Huh?" he asked, momentarily confused by her change of subject. "Oh, this." He shifted and pulled some green powder out from a pouch at his waist. "It's powdered cedar leaves. It will help mask our scent."
"But we don't need to," she responded. "It'll be only me on the ground and I know to stay downwind."
"Well," He said nervously. Kiela noticed that he was shifting from side to side as if uncomfortable. "I was thinking that since you don't know any of the other shifters here, I invited Connix and Tori."
"Who's Tori?" she asked. Connix was the boy who's ceremony she had witnessed.
"Oh she's a mountain lion. She's great." He replied, sounding happy that she hadn't protested.
"Sure, let's go with them. Where did you want to go?"
"By the first glade in the forest, the one with that huge white rock."
"Let's go then. They've probably been waiting." She turned around and broke off into a run. Lono shifted and soared above her.
When they reached the glade, Tori and Connix were already waiting. Tori was a huge tawny mountain lion, almost as big as Kiela herself. She regarded the rest of the group with her amber glare. Connix was a relatively small red fox, his fur gleaned in the sunlight. Both of them were lazing on top of the rock when Kiela and Lono arrived.
