Larkspur flicked their ear in appreciative acknowledgement, tilting their head slightly to get a better angle on their meal. They picked at the skin a little, peeling a bit more out of the way before continuing to consume the much softer, more pliable flesh. It was good to know another creature decent enough with other plants and salves - maybe he would even be able to find and acquire plants Larkspur themself had never seen before? "I think myself fairly skilled with creating concoctions as well, if you can tell me the ingredients I need, I can replicate it," Larkspur agreed, if this 'tincture' was any good at lessening the pressures of preening and molting on an overall level, they were willing to try it. Taking another bite from the carcass, Larkspur found themself sorely missing the leather satchel they used to have. They couldn't afford to eat too much - stomach cramps mid-flight weren't just incredibly inconvenient but also dangerous, liable to spook them into landing early in a dangerous or claimed territory - but it also felt incredibly wasteful to leave all of this meat so close to the border, alerting the nearby pack that lone hunters had brought something down near their land. This would be a good time to tear the larger pieces from the carcass, storing them away and burying the scraps. They pawed the ground with mild frustration - they really should have taken the time to create one, even if it was rough and amateurish in appearance. "I think that's all I can eat without upsetting my stomach," the wolf sighed a bit to themself. "What should we do with it?" They glanced up towards the setting sun, feeling their wings itching with the desire to fly but they did have a vampire to think about now. Their tail swishes before they sighed to themself - on paw it was. So long as they stayed outside of the heavy treeline covered in scent-marks, they would probably follow the river beneath the canopy of the trees to keep the giant from being directly exposed long enough for the sun to finish its descent below the horizon. Once it had vanished and the moon took control, they could soar out and cover the last bit of ground with minimal trouble. "I'll keep an eye out for good-sized mice and snakes then," Larkspur agreed, making a mental note. They still weren't sure how to hunt down a prospective snake companion but hopefully, it wouldn't be too dangerous. They only wanted a strangler-snake after all, not one that would poison them with a singular bite. "Come on, we can walk until the sun's gone down." They started to move on, chuckling a little themself at the laughter released by the bat-like creature. Good, this journey wouldn't be fun for anyone if found himself caught in grief and Larkspur didn't know him well. She wouldn't know where to even start with attempting to console him. "Ah, no. She said she 'poofed' after drinking from it - stumbled across me trying to preen my wings with no water, did a trick with her sword and decided to be my escort," the chocolate furred wolf clarified. --- Text.

I figure that Bal could either agree or protest the idea of waiting longer to meet Reed through walking instead of flying right away if you want
Success - Larkspur hears the crash as the snake falls and catches the poor thing willingly
