Conner had thought the Barrens would be quiet. Elysium had been suffocating with the sheer number of Bestial presences vying for subtle dominance or escape, the stimuli threatening to overwhelm his better sense of judgement. But Conner hadn't counted on the hunger...the aching, gnawing, thundering hunger that clawed away at his focus. It was almost as if he could hear a voice in his inner ear screaming FEED ME!!!
He'd tried meditation and prayer, and that worked for the first few nights. But you can only live off of squirrels and coyotes for so long before you being to crave more social prey. He missed the concrete jungle of Sacramento, and the beating hearts that nourished his Bestial appetites and his Human ones. The denizens of the Barrens just weren't up for a cuddle.
So Conner turns to his Sire's preferred method of 'blowing off steam': wailing away on an inanimate object.

Conner was currently pummeling a small tree with a tonfa; a lightweight weapon meant for melee defense and punishing foes who let themselves get too close. The tree shuddered under his flurried strikes, and even as his last blow skidded off the trunk's surface, he could begin to feel the edge taken off just a little.
