A soft trill from the little Vespa makes her look down at her companion as he squirms, his arms spread wide while moving up and down. Frowning, she wonders what it reminds her of, still. Sev does seem to want something that has to do with being on the ground as his face is aimed towards it, and as she is in a patch of the garden that while grown a bit wild, the ground itself looks safe. No sharp objects or brambles at least. “Okay, okay, calm down.” She murmurs inside her mind and says out loud. “Just be careful.” She coos at the little one when she places him gentle down, and is surprised when he starts slithering away. Luckily not at a too fast pace at least. Wondering what caught his attention, she follows after him, ready to snatch him up if he goes to a part that might be a bit too hard for her to reach him again.

“Trii!” Sev seems to say to her in quite an excited tone as he slithers close to one of the trees she had been observing, some leaves already opening up from its buds, and is that pink? It didn’t seem to matter much what the tree looked like to Sev as that wasn’t something he had his attention on, rather.. “That thing is as big as your eyes Sev!” She yelps out in surprise as Sev pounces on a large brown beetle, its needle like teeth trying to crunch on its hard shell as he trills in delight. She takes a step back for a moment, kneeling down hesitatingly as she sees he is trying to eat it. She doesn’t think she has seen such a large bug before that isn’t a pocket pet, but as Sev is clearly wanting to eat it.. She thinks that just for today, that unless these critters are something she’d like to keep, she allows his hunting instincts to go wild. Just for today.

It would be irresponsible of her to do that when he becomes an adult. A cold shiver goes through her at the thought. The Vespa species is large enough to be able to take on a Wiurn in sky with little trouble, but against one of the big races? Unless magic is involved, she doubts anyone would be able to fight against one of them adequately enough to incapacitate or kill. “Triii!” A crack of a shell breaking slightly makes her focus back on the bug her companion is trying to eat, she can see the insects black legs moving frantically as the cracking continues. Sev isn’t nibbling on the insect, it seems more like nipping at it to get to the right parts, and probably within a minute from what she guesses, he succeeds in killing it. Cracking it open enough to get to the inside and have his tongue slipping in and out of his mouth as he licks at the insides.

“Does it actually taste that good?” She couldn’t help but question him, sending the inquire to him through the ribbon they each carry a part of. Hers more hidden, while his is wrapped around his neck like a thick collar with a small bow that ensures he won’t have the ends of the ribbon getting stuck somewhere. ‘Yes! Yes! Yes!’ Instead of the shy voice she had expected to hear coming from Sev, it is instead like an enthusiastic child with a sudden sugar rush combined as he wiggles with his whole body. It makes her laugh even if she is witnessing the death of what is likely a pocket pet like insect creature. “Okay then..” She murmurs, allowing Sev to eat it in peace as she looks around, she doesn’t see more of these strange beetle like critters scurrying close around them, but then again. She hadn’t noticed this one either in the first place..

The guide about the Vespa having an even greater eye sight then a bird of prey is likely right, the beetles shell looks way too close like the dirt on the surface of the ground that makes them not easy to see at all. The cracking of the beetle’s body continues as Sev seems to be done with savoring the insides of the insect, and is now quite determinedly trying to munch on it in such a way that everything gets eaten. His front legs or claws? They hold on to the insect the smaller it gets. She could almost bet, that if a Vespa is able to blink, Sev would have had his eyes closed in contentment while he eats up his prey. Grinning when he finally done with eating the insect, she wonders what he plans to do next, as she doesn’t really see any other big insect like the beetle scurrying around, nor as of yet, has she spotted any objects that don’t quite belong in a garden.

Usually something like that is quite obvious, and could easily be picked up and placed inside her backpack, like a small picture frame with butterflies pinned inside of it. Or like last time there was a fishing net that would be rather useful for fishing that she found back then. “Trii? Trii!” Looking down at her companion when she hears Sev trill first at her, then at something else as he turns his face away from her and, huh.. “Where did that one come from?” She questions as she sees Sev first slither slowly towards a small whitish brown caterpillar, but as he comes closer, he ups his speed, pouncing at the tree trunk where the little bug is trying to go up on the bark, clearly heading towards the branches with leaves. “Trii!” A short chirp like trill gets emitted from Sev’s throat as he snatches the bug up, and eats it within two bites.

She smiles at seeing Sev being quite a successful hunter with the way he easily sees and be able to catch the bugs, perhaps if they go further in the garden to the wilder parts, she too would be able to find those bugs just as easy as Sev? Since there might be more of them then? Walking up to her little companion, she picks him up at his arm pits, shifting his body so that most of his weight is leaning against the crook of her left arm. ‘Let’s check more parts of the garden Sev, maybe there is more of those bigger beetles there.’ She says towards Sev as she walks further, going around the larger trees when they block her path while she sends an image of the beetle he ate before through the link. ‘Beetle food!’ A soft trill emits from Sev’s mouth as he wiggles.

While she walks and looks around, trying to spot anything unusual in the area, she can tell by feeling her little companion’s movements, that he is looking around just as much when he moves his head. Although more specifically for something then she does. “These flowers look nice.” She murmurs as she passes a patch of purple flowers with some white striping inside. Pausing, she kneels down to touch one of the petals with interest. Its soft. But the color looks quite striking, perfect to place inside a vase at home. ‘Stay near me Sev, just want to grab something.’ She murmurs inside her mind towards him, as she gentle lowers him to the ground, and shrugs off her backpack, opening the zipper of one of the compartments, she starts plucking the flowers at the stem and makes sure there is enough space so that she can later on cut the end parts a little sideways. Supposedly that would make it easier for plants that are cut off from the roots to drink water.

Sev meanwhile looks curiously at her taking down plants and storing them inside her backpack, but he feels himself growing bored with waiting, he still has a lot of energy inside him that just makes him want to move around, and he still feels a bit hungry for more bugs. It isn’t often that he is able to hunt down live bugs, and some of the one’s he is interested in, he isn’t allowed too either. Those jumping insects that are just as big as him are one of those he isn’t allowed to chew on. Much to his displeasure. Still, with her being distracted right now he could just.. Eyeing her movements, he slowly slithers to her back, knowing she can’t see him than. Pausing to see what she would do, he doesn’t see her react at his movements. Good. Slowly he backs away further, he scented a juicy bug not too far from here that is likely crawling on the ground.

Busying herself with taking a bunch of flowers and storing them for a minute or three, she felt it strange that she didn’t hear the cheerful trills coming out of Sev’s mouth, and though she knows from the guide that for Vespa it tends to be rare. She seems to have quite a bit of luck that three of the Vespa she owns aren’t actually of the quiet sort at all. “Almost done now Sev.” She says with a grin, storing the last one and closing the zipper of her backpack, swinging it on her back and adjusting the straps to sit comfortably. Once done she starts looking up at where she last saw her companion, she frowns lightly at not seeing him. Turning her head in different directions, and even behind her, she doesn’t see him. ‘Sev? Where are you right now?’ She inquires as she stands up, not yet worried as he likely isn’t that far away, ‘Sev?’ She pauses. ‘Hunting!’ Finally he responds, and though she doesn’t hear a soft trill, the exciting chirp inside her mind, makes her relax just the slightest.

At least he is having fun, but he did disobey her when she said he should stay near her, or perhaps he is, and the plants around them hide him better then she would have thought they could? Checking the ground for tracks, she is glad to have some experience in it at least. The grass where she placed Sev on the ground is flattened, and some of the dirt seems to have shifted in in a side to side pattern where more dirt is located in certain parts. Much like a snake. But as his body is also shorter compared to a snake, she knows he is capable of going straight as well in a pattern much like a seal, its how he pounced on one of the insects after all. ‘Are you at least close by Sev?’ She calls out to him, wanting to hear his voice as she follows the pattern he left behind. A soft familiar trill is all the answer she gets, its enough to let her know he isn’t too far away from her at least.

Trilling out loud, but still soft enough in the hope she won’t find him too soon, he keeps his eyes on a particular big and juicy bug. Much like a caterpillar, but different. This one has perhaps a bit too many legs, but its shell seems just as soft as one. Ducking and weaving through the foliage he comes closer, glad that his prey has yet to spot him. These ones seem like they could crawl quicker than he could slither near them, and he doesn’t intent to loose sight of such a juicy bug. Antennae twitching as he can sense her approach, he takes his chance and leaps! “Trii…” Groaning when he misses and sees his prey crawl just as fast as he estimated his prey would be. “Trii?” He questions as he tilts his head up and sideways, noticing his caretaker followed his voice and is now close enough to see him.

He doesn’t like that his hunt is likely over for now, its not something he wants to just quit. He still has too much energy, he wants to move and, and pounce on his prey! Tear it to shred and enjoy their meat after a successful hunt while enjoying the rays of sunlight on the ground that warms the grass. Those rays of bright light that he’ll one day be able to enjoy even better when he goes through them by flying wherever the wind may lead him. He’s seen Dysis in her full glory! Such a deceptively beautiful lure she made of herself. Looking like prey, when she is anything but. Though in some ways she sounds just as young as he is right now, he at least knows that when he grows up, he will look far more like a predator then she would. Not to forget bigger as well! He freezes as he feels his caretaker start petting him on the head suddenly.

He hadn’t noticed her moving so close to him, too busy thinking about lost opportunities and a future that will happen soon to him. “What am I going to do with you, hum?” He hears her say, but as she doesn’t speak the words inside his mind, it stays a mystery too him on what she wants. “Trii?” He says again, hoping to find out what she want when she crouches beside him, looking from him to the direction that his prey went in. ‘Are you still hungry for more food?’ He hears her question. “Triii! Trii!” He is quick to say, forgetting for a moment that he could say it through the link until he feels her tap at his neck, right. ‘Of course I am!’ He says immediately in indignation as he waves his natatorial legs in emphasis up and down. Really, he is hardly going to run out on not feeling hungry. Not when he knows he needs the energy for his next stage. Something that he can tell is likely going to come soon.

Feeling her hand retreat from his head, he stares at her face, finding the blinking eyes to be creepy, couldn’t she just lick her own eyes clean from dust? Having even a single moment of seeing only darkness is just very, very odd, not to mention, you’d easily loose sight of prey then as well. No matter how quickly she does that weird eye movement. ‘Okay, what about this?’ He sees her rummage through her coat pocket for a moment till she takes out som- BUGS! Perking up, he sees the familiar packet of bug treats he ate before. His focus almost entirely on the bag until he hears her continue inside his mind, making him look up at her creepy eyes again. ‘You do something for me, and you get a bug as reward?’ ‘Any bug?’ He couldn’t help but question, thinking immediately of those hopping insects back at home.
