(continued)
The rest of the beast domain was fairly open, Crank observed. She hadn't been far from the area in a while.
She casually paced along the dirt path through the woods, looking about. The was no reason to rush. Jirhirad had said the humans weren't at the quarry yet, so they had time.
She looked on, wondering how far the woods really went. She hoped a while; woods were usually full of plenty of prey.
There were less leaves here. It seems to rain a little more frequent toward the southern part of the beast domain. If she was right, there were scattered villages and posts throughout the woods. She couldn't remember what lived where, so they would have to be careful when entering it.

Flying only 5 feet above his friend and looking at what surroundings he could see. The surrounding area was quieter than around the Breath. Surprisingly enough the wind was high down here. Good enough to keep him going without much effort. The winds carried him a little faster than Crank moved.

Crank grinned at her friend, adjusting her pace to keep up.
"You know these lands pretty well, yeah?" she asked. "I mean, the recon unit send you here to check things out, right?"

Icy eyes shifted back down to the reptilian animal "Yup. All we did was pretty much wander around and sleep all day thou--- " he hacked and coughed after that sending him to the ground. Nice enough for him, with his jaw flapping he inhaled a bug.

Crank laughed. "Jeez, stop eating all those bugs! You'll spoil your dinner!"
She wiped tears of laughter from her eyes. "You ok, Leon?"

"I'm--HGH--just fi--GRHG--FINE" he hacked and coughed for a moment with watery eyes. He sat up and hacked like a cat trying to throw up a hairball.
After 5 minutes of hacking torture the bug flew from his open maw. He breathed in and shook his head.

Crank tried not to laugh, but her face turned red with the effort. She finally let out a loud guffaw and grinned.
"So much for dignity," she chuckled.

Still shaking his head and giving a slight hack here and there he barked back with his tongue out " All I heard was blahblahblah........" Then he stood up and made sure his wings were alright.

Crank pushed him playfully.
"You are sooo polite," she said.
Suddenly she froze.
"...what was that...?"

Just leaning at the push then his ears perked as he was going to say something. He turned his large head to the west and instinctively started to growl. That was no beast scent.

Crank instantly leaped into a tree and shimmied up the trunk, her tail waving for balance. Off in the distace, not far from where they had just come, a large cloud of dust or smoke arose - she couldn't tell which.
"Seems to be trouble in northern quarter..." she trailed off, climbing down. "We just came from there!"

Little wisps of dust floated into the air in the northern area of the domain. Hopefully it was just a false alarm and they could resume the mission they were assigned.
"Get moving!" he called, already a good distance away from his friend.

Crank was surprised at her friends speed. She dashed after him, her wings spread for a little lift.
The grass was dry and stung her legs as she reached he edge of the woods. There had been little rain this year, and the plains were a tad dry. Leon was still pretty far ahead. She silently wish she had working wings and raced on.

Leon quickly skid to a stop, nearly toppling over again and gaped at the approaching machine. The animal's instinct told him to jump out of the way and observe. Which he did what his gut told him and watched it pass.
IT was a large transport vehicle with a tank-ish appearance and was going alot faster than it seemed it could possibly go. Something was being moved....but why from the beast territory? Normally humans never dared to come to their territory.

"What the...hell...is that?" Crank said quietly, slowing to a stop near her friend. "What's going on?"
She looked up and down the vehicle, it's tail end spouting fumes of odd colors. The black smoke wrapped around the scattered trees. The bed of the vehicle was covered, so there was no way to tell what was in it.
"Are they even ALLOWED here...?"
