"They're so beautiful... I wish I could touch them."
Adonia looked thoughtful for a moment, but evidently she thought to keep whatever she was thinking to herself. "Let's get out of this ravine, and find somewhere better to camp tonight. It's getting late and I don't want to still be here if the storm decides to come back."
Adonia edged herself out on to the ledge of the ravine, as carefully as when she entered. Fortunately, without the rain, getting back up would be much easier. Adonia glanced back at Kaito. "Be careful, the ledges are even slippier now than before, I don't want you to lose your footing and tear a wing!"
Adonia turned back to look at the other side of the ravine, locating a suitable ledge, she took three steps back (almost hitting the back wall of their shelter) and ran, jumping off the ground to flap precariously to the other side, where she landed on a small edge and clutched the wall, where she turned to see Kaito's reaction. She smiled reassuringly at him before she repeated her steps, back and forth across the walls of the crevice. Eventually, she landed on the flat ground above the ravine and looked down at her companion. "Come on! It is easier than it looks, just don't go faster than you need!"

Kaito kept clear from the slippery parts of the ledge, the boots he wore didn't enable him to lose grip on the ground, and watched as Adonia leapt and flapped and landed on the ledged on the other sides. He smiled, but then smirked. "Don't worry, I can do this!"
He took a couple steps back, into the shelter, and then dashed out and leapt and flapped with all his power until he hit the wall and landed on the ledge, a little unbalanced.
"Whoops, I went too fast heh," he noted, fixing his eye protection glasses.

Adonia chuckled above him, "I'm going to glace around here to see if there is another place to stay tonight, scream if you're about to die!"
Adonia left the ledge and moved around the ravine, along its edge, looking at Kaito time to time to make sure he was making progress. On the other side of the ravine she found what she was looking for. A tangle of brambles were laid around the entrance to a cave, a lone dragon's judging by the size, maybe a Ridgeback or a Guardian. She pushed away some of the brambles from the entrance, and took a look inside. It seemed empty, but the smell coming from it was new. She froze, listening, trying to hear if any breathing came from within. She heard a branch snap to her right, but before she could turn to see what it was she felt a sharp burn in her side as something pierced her skin. She bellowed in surprise and anger at the attack, and faced the assailant with her eyes glowing. She snarled, this thing made a big mistake attacking her.

The white Wildclaw heared her snarls and hisses, and he quickly moved past the brambles, kicking a few that stuck to his skin and came to the scene. He saw the centaur creature.
"Someone else must be resting here," he said. "Hey! We're gonna slumber here for a night, is that alright? No? Well then, too bad! It's two against one!"
He approached the beast as he crouched in the predatory manner and roared, showing his teeth. He was always ready for a hot battle. He glanced to Adonia, "Hey! We can make a meal out of this centaur!"

Adonia grinned "They're a little gamey for me."
She use her wings to knock the spear out of her side, and away from the centaur. She leapt at the centaur, before bashing it roughly with her wings. It backed up, dazed by the attack. It reared back on its hind legs, kicking at Adonia to keep her at bay. Not heading its attack she leapt to its side, biting at its non-furred arm and causing it to retreat in the direction of Kaito.

Kaito then pounced on the back of the centaur, giving it a ferocious bite to the neck, killing it slowly. Eventually, the centaur shocked to death and fell under its own weight and Kaito finally jumped off.
"We got ourselves dinner!" he tooted.

Adonia cheered along with Kaito. "We'll have to stay here for the night, so I'll start a fire. You can get started on dinner if you would like."
As Kaito went about his task, Adonia began the fire. She flew hot breath on it until her tinder of grass was dry, and then used a stone she had taken from the Ashfall Waste to fully light it. 'I wish I could breath fire, but no, instead I have to smuggle these things around.' She built up a large pile of twigs, and then sticks and pieces of bark, before laying stones around the fire. "Fire's ready when you are ready for bed." she said, and joined him next to the centaur.
Adonia cut off a leg with her talons and strength, and peeled back the hide, looking slightly guilty. "To bad we won't be able to take this with us, I hate wasting stuff." She brought the smile back to her face. "Still, I'll do what I can to not waste it!" She brought her jaws around the leg, and tore a piece off, chewing a few times before swallowing. "This is a whole one-hundred percent better than my dried stuff."

Kaito laughed, "You think this whole centaur is gonna get wasted? We're totally going to finish it together."
He just jumped into the belly of the centaur, eating all the plump and juicy meat from it. He tore a plump piece in half and tossed it to her. "Eat this, it's very juicy." He then continued digging into the centaur, eating all he could.
After eating the juicy parts, he then started eating some of the forelegs and getting the most out of them. Most of the centaur was finished.
He then stood up and noticed how bloody his face was. "Uh, I'll go look for a source of water to brush off the blood. Wait here," he trotted out of the cave.

Adonia nodded at him as he went on a search for water to clean off in. She looked around at all the blood. 'What a mess' She thought.
Adonia shouted in the direction she had seen her companion go. "Hey Kaito, I'm going to bring this away from our den. I don't want to attract predators." Not expecting a reply she went about dragging what was left of the carcass away. 'Too bad i can't save these bones, but I can still make use of the hooves and hair I guess.' She cut off the hooves and set them aside, to wash and take with her later. Then she cut off the centaurs head hair, and their tail. She pulled a smaller bag from her satchel and stuffed the hair in there, before picking up the hooves and surveying her work. Satisfied she made her way back to camp, where she kicked clean dirt over the bloody mud to help cover the smell.

Kaito came a bit late, fresh and clean, however he was panicked.
When he finally entered the cave, he fell to the floor, huffing and panting. "Hey," he smiled to Adonia. "Sorry, I kinda got to hurry because there was a Mirror out there when I found a small puddle to drink from, and they got mad when they saw me drinking from it so I flew as fast as I could back."
