Niki sat below a huge red wood tree watching. Her human form wasn’t especially strong but she had great aim when it came to archery. Her bow lay on the ground beside her as she kept watch. She always questioned why they needed a northern guard post since the only thing north of the halflings was the elves and they were allies.

Rini smiled. She was in her human form, poised in the tree above her freind. She counted to three, then pounced. "BOO!" She said playfully, tackleing her slightly smaller freinds. Rini laughed at the expression on her freinds face, her eyes twinkleing.

"Hay!" She yelled fighting Rini's tight grip. "Let me go we are suppose to be keeping watch!" She said a little quieter even though there was little chance there would be anything to keep watch for besides the wind and something to eat.

Rini stuck her tounge out. "You know nothings out there but game and elfs. The only thing we have to worry about is Matron." She said playfully, her tail wagging against the breeze.

Niki shifted and pushed Rini off of her. Then became human again only moments later, most untrined halflings took minutes to shift but not any that were trained to defend halfling territory. She picked up her bow and the few arrows she had and began climbing the collosal tree. Then sitting down on a higher branch and looked around for movement. "You hungry?" She asked quietly as to not scare any game away. She herself wasnt perticularly hungry but board and in need of target practice.

Rini nodded, her strong ears picking up the sound of a small rabbit. She turned her head to face the sound, loacating the small hare. She crouched to the ground, creeping up on the small furry mammal.

Niki senced it too. She sent an arrow strait into the rabbits skull just before Rini arived. She smiled at their catch and their teamwork.

Rini jumped, the arrow whizzing past her. "HEY!" She barked jokeingly. "You coulda killed me!" She said, grabbing the rabbit in her strong paws. She let out a small wolf smile. "You'll have to catch me if you want any!" She said playfully.

Niki dove from the tree shifting as she fell, landed on her paws and took off after Rini and the rabbit. Then stopped... She senced something that wasnt there before... She sifted back and focased her sences.

Rini whirled around, running ahead of her freind. Then she to stopped, sniffing the air. Is it Matron? I sure hope not... She thought, looking around nervously.

Niki raised her bow, ears alert eyes both open fixed on the end of her arrow. Her body tenced and she pivited around listening and looking for movement. SUDDENLY a wiled boar came screaming by the redwood tree about 30 feet away form Niki. She let her arrow fly and nailed her target in the leg.

"Good shot," came a laughing voice from behind the two girls.
Ally's eyes twinkled with fun and happiness as she joined them on the flat rock. "I asked to come out here.. Besides, half of it is our land."
The Elf smiled at the two and examined the boar. "Wow, pinned his femur! Nice," Ally's voice held an impressed quality, and it was heavily laced with admiration. "I'm not too good at archery."

Niki smiled as she removed her arrow form the boars leg. "Archery is my specialty. It makes up for the lack of size." Niki said now cleaning the arrow and sharpening the blade. Then used it to stab the poor creature in the heart to end it. She used the same arrow to tear the leg off from the rest of the body. She tended to have better table manners than most halflings too... But that was probably because she was raised by a human mother until she was 8 or so before returning home to halfling country just before the war began and she inlisted in halfling training to become an archer.

Rini smiled at her two freinds. "ALLY!" She barked, hopping up on her hind paws, knocking her freind over with a huge wolf tackle. She smiled, an adorable wolf smile, her tial wagging and teeth shining. She looked to the boar. Yum. She thought to herself.
(heh heh. Femur.)

Ally laughed, gazing at Niki intently. "Does that mean that you are part human?" she asked, meaning to be casual.
"Heya Rini!" Ally laughed, hugging her friend before turning to the boar. "That looks good, you gonna eat that all by yourself?"
