She calls me, she calls me, she calls me...

@Vengeance!

It had been a week or so since she was...violated.
And though the pale woman was up and about just fine, she was still aching, still stinging even if it was all dull and not as bad as it had been during her attack.
It showed in her slight limp as she tried to hunt a young deer that had wandered too far from its herd elsewhere. 

Amazingly enough she stayed focused even as her Master's scent strengthened in places as she stalked her quarry. 

Some part of her was paranoid that He would assault her again, or worse, and she kept shoving the fear down for the sake of providing a meal for her pack. 

She was within distance to attack her prey now, and she braced to streak forward.

Indeed he did. Often times she had a lack of sleep due to traumatized nightmares.

the deer upturned his youthful head from grazing, looking directly in Ven's direction.

And Eldra erupted forward in a burst of speed, instigating a short chase that ended with her taking the ungulate to the ground in a thrashing roll. 
It screamed and struggled, but ultimately Eldra ended up snapping it's neck. 

She dropped her hold with a heavy pant, beginning to pull herself up so she could drag her kill to share it with someone. Maybe Bramble as an apology? 

Or Caligula maybe? Or...Vengeance, she supposed...

This time, she heard him coming. 
At first she didn't notice his footfalls, but after his stench and hearing some slight rustling, she could tell. 
It didn't stop Eldra from tensing up though.
As his voice cooed darkly from near her hocks, she tucked her tail tightly and slowly turned to face him, young deer still in her teeth with a low grunt as she tried to pull it further in front of her to show him her prize in full. 

"I've also cached some rabbits. Not too many, but there's a small collection buried under a risen tree root..." She responded, dropping her kill and backing off a few steps in case her Warlord desired to feed.

As he offered his aid to her to move the young deer to a cache for burying, she took up a different leg, responding as best she could around the limb in her maws

"Yes, that's correct...His methods are sometimes strange, but they have done me only good. He has kept me on my toes, if that helps..." Eldra replied, still tentative to talk to her Lord as if he didn't Do Things. 
Inwardly she sighed, desiring only to not be used as his toy in the ways she had been recently. But she kept it to herself as best she could. 
"Are you considering him as your Second?" The pale titaness inquired with genuine curiosity. Did she want the title for herself? Yes, but she knew right now it was not hers to hold, nor, likely, would it be for some time. 
She knew Caligula to be patient and a great guide, thus, she could not, would not, object if that were the case - she could only cheer for the pale man.

Eldra hmmed softly at his answers, though her support for Caligula didn't sway as she responded.
"I think he'd make a great one, but maybe I'm biased because he's teaching me." She shrugged softly and adjusted her hold on the deer she helped her Lord carry.

It would be a very slow process, but perhaps Eldra would eventually come to set aside her plans to ascend, which were, honestly, still in the drafting phase. 
As much as she kept these borderline dreams to herself, maybe one day she'd either set them in motion or let them rest. 
By the gods, did she loathe the idea of letting them rest.

But again, maybe, one day...she would let them. 
For now though, this, where she was, is the reality she is cloaked in.

She could feel him watching her. 
At his tease, Eldra flattened her ears and flushed visibly.
"...Yes...but...I know I have no right to be. I haven't exactly been a contestant, given my errors." Eldra responded, gaze downcast and avoiding his own. 
The titaness wasn't sure what else to say about it, but she quite obviously knew, or at least thought, she knew her place, and that she stood no chance of gaining much at the moment aside from skill. 
Part of her was also bracing for him to belittle her.

His question was not what she expected, but she jumped at the opportunity to prove herself.
Looking at him steadily, an icy brutality flickered like dancing flame in her purple hues. 

"Anything." Eldra responded with an adrenalized breath. 
Immediately, she almost thought he was going to ask something of her. "Got something in mind?" She jested partially, though the other half of her was deadly serious. Even still, she didn't hold her breath.
There was zero way an opportunity was going to be plopped in front of her just like that. Nah, that didn't happen.

He closes the distance and she tenses, but he doesn't attack her. Instead she remains still as he embraces her, and feels his breath against her ear which sends a shiver down her spine.
Her gaze though, stays upon him as he whispers his words into her ear. Sweet nothings? She didn't know if that's what they were. But it lit a fire in her that spread through every vein in her body, and as he pulled away, slowly, Eldra nodded once. 
"Of course, my Lord." She agrees, picking up a leg again to mirror him.

Once they get to the cache, she digs alongside him until there's enough room, and thus she begins tearing the young ungulate apart to fit it within the disturbed earth. 

Eldra absently wonders what's to come as they work, and the evening darkens.
Perhaps there was hope for her yet...Perhaps.
