Birds chirp in the canopy and leaves rustle as small animals scurry about in search of food and shelter. The captive creature groans softly, still unconscious from the combat the night before.Upon seeing the owl perched on Thane's head, Artemisia looks startled, then purses her lips and trills out a bird-call. The owl blinks at her, but doesn't respond. "A striped owl, huh? I've never seen one so comfortable around people before. You should be honored. At least, until it messes your hair, anyway." she ends with a giggle. "I think that we have enough food for now; hunting slows us down and speed is of the essence. We don't have enough salt or time to preserve the meat we hunt, so we'll have to go in cycles of hunting for a day then traveling full speed for several. Hopefully we won't need to use the food we have packed, but it's good to know it's there when we do need it.""Well... we won't have to hunt today, so even if you do your ritual and nothing comes of it, we'll still go farther than we did yesterday. If it'll make you settle down some, I don't see the harm in it. I could use the time to take a little nap, myself." Artemisia looks to the rest of the group and asks, "Anyone else have anything to say about it?"As for eating ... well, it's alive. Even plants eat. I would suspect it only eats meat, given its ... inclinations."</blockquote>
