((Okee, Ciao! X3

[OreoHeroz]

((I'm back with cookies! :3 - starts to pass out cookies - ))

A soft groan made Xachi glance up, her back fur bristling as she propped the cupboard open. Sniffing the air, a soft growl escaped her throat as the recognized the familiar scent of canine. Claws gripping the edge of the wood, she decided to try to venture around the house for a new hiding spot, or at least escape the house. Gently pushing the door open even more, she didn't try to be quiet since she knew that wind and the rain's noises would probably cover up the creaking noises. Raising her striped head, she stared into the direction of the canine figure, bracing herself as she crept forward, her black optics fixed on the muscular shape of the canine. Lifting her forepaw, she let out a snarl as she glared at the dog.

[Jackkdaw]

((Cookies!?! -snatches and noms cookie- :3 Tankies! XD))

Grantaire lay in the corner, ears propped forward on his head as he listened to the howling storm just outside. I wonder if these humans left any food here.. The mutt thought. Shrugging, he concluded it won't hurt to check, and he rose to his paws, giving his dark, still wet coat a brisk shake before turning around. As he took a couple steps towards the kitchen, that weird scent he caught when he first entered got stronger. Wrinkling his nose, he rounded the corner and stopped in his tracks at what he saw. An odd black creature with intimidating claws. He knew he'd seen one of these things before, but he couldn't quite remember what they were called. Either way, it was snarling, instantly coming off as a threat. Grantaire stepped backwards, perking his ears and letting out a low defense growl. "I- Uh- Who are you?" He barked, not trying to sound threatening, despite his defensive stance.

((yw :3))

Xachi glared at the canine, her black eyes narrowing. "I can't believe you don't even know what I am." The badger replied sharply, her head shaking. Her eyes narrowed as she noticed the canine's defensive tone, but he didn't seem that much of a harm. Deciding to have a little defense, the badger tucked away her paw, allowing her claws to dig into the wooden floor. "Xachi's the name and I'm a badger." The sow answered, her snout gesturing into the air. "And yours?" Even though she seemed calm, her back fur was still ruffled and her eyes still had a warning glare.

[Jackkdaw]

"Well excuuuuse me. I don't hang out in the woods very often." Grantaire huffed, straightening up a bit once the badger began to seem less aggressive. "And my name's Grantaire." He added, letting his hackles smooth down slightly. "Look, I don't want any trouble. I'm just trying to survive the storm, which I'm sure you're doing, too. So we both just need to relax." He said with a sigh, swiveling his ears back to a relaxed position.

[OreoHeroz]

Xachi nodded, her eyes returning to their normal look. "You're right. Sorry...your scent just triggered something in my past." The badger replied, dipping her head at an awkward angle. "Well, now that we're ev--" A yelp escaped her throat as the windows near her suddenly shattered, little pieces of glass clattering to the ground. At the moment, the badger scrambled away, snarling at the pieces of glass that littered the floor. Glancing shyly at Grantaire, she shook out her pelt. "Sorry about that too. Just got spooked." Xachi apologized again, shifting away from the windows. "I guess we should look out for those windows - the glass could break and fall on you if you're not careful." She observed, glancing around. 

[Jackkdaw]

Grantaire cocked his head to listen to the badger, nodding in understanding. Suddenly, the nearby window shattered from the storm. With a yipe of surprise, he flinched and clambered backwards, nearly tripping over his own paws. He quickly recollected himself and shook his head, padding back over to the cowering badger. "It's alright. Happens to the best of us." He said with an awkward chuckle, glaring at the open window which now allowed the rain to sprinkle the nearby floor. "I think it's best if we find a room with no windows. Those things could be dangerous. Obviously."

[OreoHeroz]

Soon after the canine let out a chuckle, Xachi relaxed and glanced at Grant. Canines aren't so bad. Maybe I underestimated them... She thought, seeing how relaxed the dog seemed as well. Shrugging, the badger nodded at his idea. "Alright. Maybe we should split up and try to find a room?" Xachi suggested, making sure her last word seemed like a question.

((Have to eat...don't eat mei cookies. 3: ))

[Jackkdaw]

((Okay. o_o -Slowly reaches for cookies-

Grantaire smirked and nodded. "Sounds good, runt." He said quickly before trotting off and veering left into a hallway. Slowing his pace, he nosed open the doors of every room in the small hallway, each time letting out a discouraged huff upon noticing each room was a simple bedroom with at least two windows. Finally, at the last door at the end of the hall, he shoved the door open to reveal a small bathroom. No windows! Tail wagging, he wheeled around and darted down the short hallway. "Hey Xachi, I found a room!" He barked, skidding to a stop in the front room.

;3; I didn't get cookies.))

     As it was pitch black in the sky the otter was concerned she would hit something. Straining her eyes to see Fara couldn't see anything except the occasionally flashes of lightning and powerlines falling down. It wasn't enough to illuminate the dark churning waters. Suddenly a wave lifted Fara up, sweeping her onto a large branch. Clinging onto it she didn't expect the storm to last this long. As wind buffeted her face her hind paws scratched unto the floating branch. Fara had a free moment to try and look where she was but saw nothing but rain and wind blowing into her face in the darkness.
