Valmai stood on a low plateau, the large, flat slab of rock jutting out from the mountain side. She was oddly positioned, rump in the air as she seemed to bow to some imaginary prince. Her tail was wagging a mile a minute, snout rooted into a rather fragrant plant. That sweet sweet smell of nicotine invaded her senses, wrapping itself around her and pulling her in. The female was in heaven.
Adrenaline leaked from every pore in her body. If just the smell was that intoxicating, she shuddered at the thought of how good it would taste. The large female had actually gotten very lucky. She hadn't even been looking for her favorite plant. The mountain just seemed like a good place to catch herself a meal, and maybe find something large enough to bring back to the pack. A nice mountain goat would have been easy enough to bring down on her own.
But that smell, that wonderful scent... The moment she'd caught wind of it, she just couldn't resist. Her hunting trip was put on hold for a short bit of time, nose glued to the scent of nicotine. Now she was happily chewing her way through one of the leaves, enjoying the kick of the stimulant. Her body felt electric, her usually limitless energy restored for another day or two. It had been a few good days since the last time she'd slept. In fact, she was pretty sure at least three had passed. Not that she was really keeping track. To her all that mattered was that she did any jobs her Airila bosses assigned to the best of her abilities. Unfortunately, her idea of having an "A game" was to be high as a kite on the Nicotiana Benthamiana plant.
