Hopefully, but you're not carrying me like they were. [She shrugs, grabbing the sheep again. Holding this guy firmly even if he probably wasn't going to bolt. Though he does bleat at the Chimera's takeoff, the sudden wind surprising him.
When Saber returned she'd find there was a slight problem. The sheep was still there, but now it was sheep in the plural sense of the word. More had turned up. Not many only three had wandered close, and only of those three was willing to approach the fae while the rest hung back chewing the grass. Saber was intruding on the most awkward staredown.]
[ Saber comes gliding back in and stumbles slightly on the landing. She's still getting used to this whole thing. Woops. She straightens and dumps the armful of sacks that she's carrying onto the ground with a curious glance at Mikasa. ]
So they're coming to us now? Did something happen while I was gone?
[The fae grunts, crouching and holding on to the ram as it gives a thrash. Then the closer of the unbound three baas, pawing(hoofing?) the ground. Then it charges forward. Lowering it's head. It wasn't the largest sheep there, if anything it was the smallest, it's horns were small stump.
Fortunately, the young sheep wasn't exactly fast. The fae didn't even need to let go of the ram. Only lifting a foot. She doesn't kick them, just letting it run into her foot. It couldn't get any further, she was a lot stronger than it and it just tried to butt a leg that wouldn't give.]
No, I didn't do anything. Unless they're getting used to us...
[Because the rest of the flock seemed to be honing in after that one lamb's brave attempt.]
I... think they would rather we release their comrade.
[ Saber would normally be more amused by that, but there are many more sheep with sharper teeth and she doesn't think she wants to end up bleeding all over the pasture. Even if the wounds end up being mostly superficial. ]
Perhaps we should withdraw and come up with a new strategy?
[ She doesn't really want to run from sheep, but she also has to treat them with kid gloves... ]
[Mikasa was just blinking. Because attacked by sheep was not on her adgender for today, it was completely unexpected. And now, here she was, being shoved at by an angry lamb.]
I think so... Undo the rope on this one. I'll hold him so he doesn't bite.
[Hopefully. She could do it herself, but that'd put her at risk of being bitten. And she'd rather not.]
[ Well, the farmer wasn't going to be happy, but no one had mentioned the sheep might unionize. Saber kneels and very carefully begins to undo the binding they'd put on the sheep previously, watching the loose herd that still eyes them.
Man, that's actually pretty unnerving.
She finally releases the last of the rope and the sheep kicks and tries to get to its feet. ]
[Honstly. Mikasa was willing to not be paid for this, she'd wanted hard work, but this was more than she could handle. With the sheep cut loose, she gives him a shove forward towards the others.
Only for him to round back, lowering his head. She forces the leg bracing the lamb back straight to shove it away so she can stand to dodge. She wasn't scared of sheep. But she didn't want to be walked on by one even if she could handle the weight.
Then several other sheep join the charge... Okay, it probably wouldn't kill them. But she's not being paid enough for this. It's time to get out of the field. ]
[ Well, they can both see it. Saber still darts forward and tries to help drag Mikasa out of the way. Her wings flap valiantly and she manages to get just enough air to get them both skimming back about ten yards and out of the way before they're both back on solid ground again. ]
[This wasn't the first time she'd been carried in the air. But it really was a good job she did pull-ups often. That could have pulled her arm out of it's socket otherwise.
The moment Mikasa's feet reach the ground she's running. Time to jump a fence and get the hell out.]
[Hillarously? The sheep are still trailing behind, unable to catch up with the flying. So once they're in the clear, the fae waits a moment, taking a breath before commenting.]
That... I wonder if the farmer knew they could be like that.

[ Now is not the time to chat, of course. They can debrief later. Right now there's lots of angry sheep behind them...
So much for being shepherds. ]

[ Saber wipes sweat off of her brow with a frown. ]
He's not going to be happy with us, but I can't really see a way for us to work.
no subject
I'm not bothered. I like farm work but this needs people used to livestock.
[Time to go, and not get paid.]
no subject
[ Saber sighs. ]
Hopefully he'll find someone.
[ A small price to pay for failure, really. ]
