Montezuma/India/Nadia

This was a sight for sore eyes. A male javelina chased a young burro through the forest. "Stay away from my house, donkey!" He commanded angrily. India ran as fast as she could, which wasn't nearly fast enough. "Leave me alone! Go away!" She brayed. They were close enough to the house to be heard by its inhabitants, but not seen.

Nadia stepped out onto the porch, looking at the trees. She knew something was in there, and everyone else in the range probably did too. Their calls could be heard over long distances. "Who's there?" The cat asked. Then, before she had time to react, the pair was running around the house. "Hey!" Nadia hissed. "Get away!" She rushed after them, her tail looking like a bottle brush.

Montezuma had the burro cornered around the back of the house. "Have you learned your lesson?" The javelina taunted. Nadia stayed a good distance away, but made her presence known by hissing and growling. "Get out of my territory!" She spat. Montezuma looked at the cat and chuckled. "Oh? And why should I listen to a teeny tiny kitty?" He asked cockily.
"Because if you don't I'll call my master and he'll blow your head off." Nadia shot back.
Montezuma laughed and looked at the house. "Oh really? What could an old man living in a dingy house possibly do to me? Will he hit me with his cane?"
Nadia narrowed her eyes. "How dare you speak of him that way!" She growled spitefully. Then she yowled, trying to get her owner's attention.

Mikhail Bakunin

It didn't take long for Mikhail to grab a riffle and rush to the nearest window. A quick look told him he had more visitors, and they were quiet unusual. And more importantly, they were harassing his dear Nadia.

Loading a few bullets into the riffle, Mikhail stepped outside, weapon raised to his single eye as he aimed at the javelina. Without so much as a word, he shot right at the creature. No one messed with his Nadia without hearing from him.

Montezuma looked up at Mikhail. "Oh, look. It's--" Before he could finish his sentence, a bullet hit him in the thigh. It was three against one, and the javelina stood no chance. He quickly limped into the forest.

Nadia chased him a few feet, making sure her message got through.

The donkey foal stepped back when Mikhail fired the bullet. It took her a while to figure out what happened. She was saved by a cat and her human. She kept her distance from the house, showing that she wasn't a threat.

Mikhail Bakunin

The gun was held up for a moment, ready to shoot again and having himself a nice meal for supper. But the javeline was no fool, and retreated before Mikhail could make another shot on him. Snorting slightly, the tall man lowered his weapon and walked quickly towards Nadie. "We make the perfect team, don't we?" He said with a half-smirk, before looking to India.

Slowly standing up, he debated whether to target the foal or not. But, seeing as he had enough meat in the freezer, and she was of no harm to him or Nadia, Mikhail set the riffle down. "If you were a human, my friend..." The man said, letting his sentence drift into silence as he approached India. He could always use a little pack animal when he went out hunting and scouting for intruders.

Nadia/India

Nadia purred when she was sure that the javelina was gone. She slowly walked back to her master.

India walked closer to the man, lowering her head submissively. This place was shielded from the rest of the Valley and that's just what she liked about it.
