TIME: 10:22pm

The sun had long since set, which meant it was 'hunt time', in his own words however broken they may be, for the little party consisting of Silver, his Gabite, and his Zoroark. However, hunt did not necessarily always mean the literal verb 'to hunt' - in this case, they were simply foraging safe fruits and stealing the odd bundle of vegetables from the gardens of humans with next to no dwelling upon consequences of if they were caught. The herbivorous foods were primarily for the likes of Silver's young Eevee and some of the other members of their larger pack-family back at the den. Silver's hunting party usually always trekked miles at a time for food during the night every few days, but they also...usually did not have a fourth member. The little Eevee under Silver's care had snuck along with them, forcing them to take her with them due to how far they had gone when they initially noticed her.

As always, the group had established a 'gather spot' where they would return to and place the findings they had gathered to later bring back to the den by the time the sun started to rise. This time, it was also where Silver had instructed Eevee to remain hidden amongst due to her lack of hunting and survivability experience. Eevee rarely, if ever, disobeyed Silver; at least deliberately she rarely did, anyway. She is a young creature, so her curiosity and excitement about new things tended to get the better of her and sometimes got her into trouble more than Silver would like. Tonight would be no different...

As Eevee sat in her assigned hiding spot, her ears wiggled and perked up after she heard a soft sound in the distant. With a curious squeak, Eevee eagerly frolicked in the direction of the sound, thinking it was Silver returning to her. She danced and jumped and pounced through the forest, happy as can be, while also avoiding much...much larger sleeping Pokemon in the area. Eventually she got to the edge of the forest, but what she saw -- or WHO, rather -- was not her owner, but someone else entirely. Curious, the young Eevee scuttled over to the dirt path leading to the nearby Fortree City -- where this person seemed to be heading -- to investigate the unknown face. Unaware of the possible danger she might theoretically be in, her fluffy tail wagged excitedly as she stopped about twenty feet from the human. She looked backed to the forest, as if she were a child hearing her family calling for her. It was more than likely that she actually DID just hear them...

unbeknownst to silver and his clever lot, they had skirted the edges of cait's territory. his companions had likely gotten a faint whiff of the markings left by her pokemon, but they had avoided encountering her creatures thus far. so the avatar remained largely ignorant of their presence, unintentionally gracing eevee's field of vision as she began to travel from her property.

she was garbed casually, sporting a pale blue t-shirt and jeans that were lightly smeared with dirt. the woman wore a focused expression that caused her freckled face to visibly tighten, her right hand gripping the handle of a basket as she carried a hefty pack upon the length of her back. at her right flank was a hypno who bore some weight as well, the creature standing at equal height to his human counterpart.

the hypno's gaze shifted as they walked, their pinprick gaze swiveling about before it inevitably settled upon the petite figure of the eevee.

"
oh?

by way of silent communication, the pokemon pointed out the presence of the little creature. the woman released a hum as she peered in its direction, assessing the beast from a distance.   

"
they're not one of ours. i'd know."

cait maintained her distance, though her hypno sought to keep the eevee locked in place -  his pendulum raised and swaying from side to side.

"where did you come from, baby?

The Eevee, due to lack of interaction with humans who actually can speak their own language properly, seemed to remain largely puzzled by the woman's words, tilting its head with a curious squeak. Eevee, ever the joyful critter, soon switched to a smile in her effort to try and not anger this new human, not understanding that not all humans were akin to its own master; a wild-raised, feral-at-times, primal young man. One raised amongst the trees and the fields rather than the buildings and the roads.

Suddenly, Eevee's ears twitched as it heard something. Out of the forest near the group, three figures emerged; two of them moved towards Eevee so quick they were almost a blur in the night, while the third remained at the edge. The two figures stood in front of the small Pokemon defensively, both glaring savagely at the other human. A long-haired boy and a Gabite stood their ground, ready to face a possible threat, based on their stances. Their other companion, a Zoroark, was at a distance on standby, clearly ready to intervene with its unique ability upon command. However, they did not attack.

The feral-looking young male had long, silver hair that, although wild and unkempt, still gracefully draped down his back almost touching his waist. His eyes were tired and predatorial, the shadows under them indicating such tiredness. Humans were not made for the life he lives, even if they were raised by Pokemon. The male snarled out a few broken words, none of them forming any particularly obvious sentence.

"Back!! No touch friend! My pack!" were the rough-toned words that escaped through his bared teeth.

While he was more defensive than hostile, his position was still one that was ready to pounce if required. Upon his back, there was a long, sharp object that was evidently used as a blade. Whether for hunting, combat or simple quality of life, who knows?

what appeared to be a young man and his pokemon companion sprung into view, the pair radiating with an open hostility. despite her surprise, cait succeeded in not retreating a step - her gaze instead fixed on the snarling face of the youth. there was a feral aesthetic to the human male; his form scrawny with scars that marred his thoroughly sun-kissed flesh.

- a feral human. -

her hypno's aristocratic voice slipped into her skull, the pair's minds tethered - the communication channel discreet. there was a look of distaste upon the psychic's face as he remained at her side, his pinprick gaze settled upon the silver-haired adolescent. 

"
i had a feeling they weren't one of mine."

cait's gaze flitted between the new faces, a frown tugging at the corners of her lips.

"
you're on the edge of my property, young man," she warned.

she noted his knife, a look of disapproval present upon her features as she discerned what it could be used for. 

"
i hope you've been hunting beyond my land and not on it."

the woman took no offense to the act, but her pokemon were under her and celebi's protection. and while the predators remained at the outer edges, it wouldn't take terribly long to make one's way toward her herds.
