The woman pulled herself up onto the animal's back and moved after Sidarin, letting him lead. Boar hunting was something she wasn't too familiar with - trying to take one of those down was a challenge for an archer. They were tough and hit hard, and he certainly knew more on this than she.

Physical Description: A bit on the short side at 5'9 Sidarin is a lean man. He possesses the wirey muscle of one who gets their exercise through travel and through fighting. He has a pointed jaw, mid set check bones, and fierce brown eyes. He is clean shaven though it is best not to remind him. His brown hair is kept long perhaps to make up for the lack of a beard.

It isn't long before he finds the game trail and when he does he dismounts. A boar could and would gore a horse so it was best to proceed on foot. Of course, a boar would gore you as well, but better that then your horse going down and pinning you beneath it. He follows the trail in silence moving through the thick undergrowth with practiced ease. Cat was undoubtedly the better shot between them, but he was better at woods lore.

Catriona followed his lead carefully, leaving her own mount as well with the other horse to keep the pair company. Her bow was at the ready, senses alert as well as she could manage - being outside was doing her some good, but she still felt a touch queasy. Being just a little bit off like that, she remained just at his flank - unfortunately, her own ability to traverse the undergrowth wasn't quite to his own standard. Keeping up with a bit tricky.

Sid holds up a hand and points to a bush up ahead. It begins to rustle and a large boar comes out and he pulls her behind a tree. They were up wind so it hadn't smelled them just yet. Knocking an arrow he moves into position to draw a bead on the creature. After the first shot they would have to abandon bows so he'd have to hope the broadheads did their job.

Catriona managed to keep a yelp from sounding out as she was yanked around a tree and out of sight. Peering around the trunk, she eyed the stout, tough creature - feeling her heartbeat increase a little. That thing didn't look like an easy kill... but it would be a savory meal if they could manage it.
The idea of bacon sounded impossibly amazing.
She kept her bow at the ready, waiting for Sidarin to loose the first shot. She'd never hunted a wild boar before, and had no idea what to expect from this. So she was alert and cautious... or as alert as she could be right now. A part of her was still a little tired.

He lets fly the knocked arrow and it strikes a bit off target. He'd been aiming for it's eye but he hits it's neck instead. On another creature such a shot would be mortal and it would be for the boar. The issue was it would fight until it was dead trying to kill whatever hurt it. He hefts his spear and gets ready as it whirls and charges. "Go for the eye if you can!" He shouts as he gets ready to move.

Seeing the boar charge directly at them, surely screeching with a mix of pain and rage, she moved to get well out of the way of the charge - and away from Sid. She couldn't very well defend him at his side with a bow, and if they were separate it would make better for a second angle to strike on the creature.
Her hand drew and nocked an arrow easily, drawing back, but upon release she would find her mark was a bit off - turning a solid profile shot to the face into one aimed for the neck in addition to what Sid already put in.

The boar snorts and charge directly for Sid, the young ranger thrusts the spear at the beast's face as he side steps. The spear cuts deep into its snout and it barrels past snarling in rage, before the second arrow plunges into its neck. It whirls and spots Cat and then it charges at her in a rage. Sid cries out in fear and he rushes after it harrying the animal with his spear.

The beast turned and charged at her, aimed specifically for her, and it was a perfect scenario of a deer caught in the headlights. She hesitated to move, momentarily paralyzed with fear. But it was right upon her, and she abandoned her bow to lunge clear off to the side in hopes of avoiding the charge - a heavy breath rushing past her lips when she hit the ground. What was wrong with her? Normally she didn't freeze like that, and this thing was definitely out to kill the both of them! She had to get back to her feet.

The boar just barely misses Cat and it slams into a tree with a snort. Sid is right behind it and he shoves the spear into it's rear. The animal bellows and spins tearing the weapon from Sid's grasp as it charges in an attempt to gore him. The great white form of Specter lunges from the woods and barrels into the board knocking it off course, tearing into its throat before being shaken off.

The woman barely escaped injury from the beast, but hearing it's heavy form slam into the tree like that made her yelp as she scrambled to find her feet and get away from the boar. Damn, those things were scary strong, and even after Specter took a bite of the neck it refused to go down.
A part of her felt she was going to be sick as she began to feel genuinely afraid. Despite how every part of her screamed to hide or run, she moved to grab her bow and hastily go for another arrow or two. Maybe she could weaken it further with a few more shots at a distance... maybe.

The boar is once again charging him and he is left with nothing but his knife. He dodges and then he and specter move in on the boar. They circle the animal taking swipes and avoiding it's clumsy retaliations trying to whittle it down. The boar for the moment wasn't charging the act that made it truly dangerous as it couldn't settle on a target, but that wouldn't last.

It was difficult to dance with arrows between the wolf and Sid. Or at least, it was harder than it should have been. Her hand just wasn't quite as steady as it should have been. But she opened fire just a few more times whenever she got the opening - steadily inching closer to the mark as it tangoed with the other pair.
She just prayed it was starting to weaken, and would give in to death soon. It was just too hearty.

It takes nearly two minutes but the constant blood loose finally gets to the boar. It collapses to the ground and dies. Whirling Sid runs to Cat's side and drops to his knees. "Are you okay?" He gathers her up in his arms and stares down at her confusion and worry writ large on his face. Specter makes sure the boar is dead and then comes over to nuzzle at Cat as well.

The damn thing finally fell, and by that point Catriona had already found herself sinking to her knees in the dense grass - panting from exertion. She couldn't understand why she was already breathless, even though this beast was one hell of a contender. When Sidarin appeared beside her and dragged her into his lap, she happily accepted the gesture and cuddled up to him.
She tried to ease his worried expression with a weak smile, her head thumping gently on his shoulder. "Yeah... I'm okay. I've never tried to hunt one of those before. They're just as scary to deal with as bears are," she adds with a chuckle - an idle hand coming out to scratch the wolf behind his ears when his nose poked close. "I'm sorry my mark was off during that whole thing."

Sid lets out a relieved sigh as Cat speaks, she was okay just a bit shaken. It didn't explain why she'd been off her game, but that was alright. "Scarier, bears will try and run if you hurt them enough boars just keep coming." He says with a chuckle, trying to hide how frightened he'd been during the hunt, not for himself but her.
Specter wags happily his tail happily as she scratches and Sid shakes his head. "Don't worry about it Cat, you still hit the damn thing and it's dead. We've saved some farmers from a lot of trouble and we are going to get bacon. Today is a win, especially since neither of us got hurt." He pulls her up a bit and then he kisses her on the lips gently and tenderly. "You had me a bit worried though." He murmurs.

She didn't dare admit to how much she had been worried over the pair of them with this beast. But the trouble was over now, and she welcomed the affection - her arms snaking up around his neck as she hugged him close after the ginger kiss.
"I'm sorry," she murmurs. "I'm glad you're here."

"I'm glad I met you," Sid says softly and for a moment longer he just holds her. Eventually, though it was time to go. He gets her off of his lap and moves to the boar. He whistles for his horse and grabs a tarp out of one of the saddle bags before he sets to work carving it up. The pelt was smelly and useless but the meat would be good so he loads the tarp up with as many good cuts as he can, avoiding the places where the arrows caused damage.
