First Hunt

Sah paused mid-step at Nova's words, his head snapping around to tilt at her. You're Safrins' daughter?? Still reeling from that as she spoke, he felt his concern for the young woman double. Clearly, she was still new to Caido and had likely been in the stars until now. Otherwise, Sah surely would have heard through the grapevine if there were other Safrin children running around. He would likely have met at the meetings in the past few seasons, too.

Her excitement was sweet, and he gently nudged her shoulder with his own. Alright then. Let's hunt. Sah sniffed the air and glanced south. [i]Do you smell that? That musky but slightly sweet smell? That's luxere. The closer we are to them, the stronger the smell. We're not far from them. Even if he'd never hunted them as a wolf, Sah had still learned what their scent was from the luxere pelts in the Citadel as he'd passed on four paws.

Crouching slightly, he began to trace the path. He paused every few steps to point out further signs to the feline. A hoofprint here. A trodden-upon shrub there. Soon enough, they crested a ridge overlooking the herd. Sah crouched fully, hiding behind a larger bush. He gestured with his paw for Nova to do the same. We're downwind of them so that they can't smell our approach.

Lightning strikes
A distant howl
