MAEA
A nod of approval was offered in Chaele's direction as she dispatched the squirrel that had launched itself at them. And if Maea's expression for a moment twisted with hunger and longing and bitter resignation, it was gone the next moment, replaced by smooth indifference. She stepped out of the way when the shaman knelt to examine something by her feet, and kept an eye on the creature.
Decisions, decisions. The critter ought to be harmless, and certainly looked it where it sat in the snow. Drained and weary, shaking its little head as if to clear it. Maea would have let it go, but when it suddenly gathered itself and leaped at her, she raised a hand and connected circuits in her palm, and a torrent of electricity crackled forth. There was a short shriek as it enveloped the speaking squirrel, and a moment later it lay prone in the snow. The tips of its fur smoldering gently in the cold air.
Maea's mouth was a grim line slicing across the face as she leaned down and picked it up, ingrained habit to let no food go to waste taking over for a moment before she paused. And looked between the carcass and Chaele.
"It's not much of a meal... but do you want it?" It seemed to really trouble her that she had no actual use for it herself.
