The grass tickled her sides as she pushed through it her small paws parting the green in uneven steps. Adrestia had been tracking the scent for a while now her head hung low, nose working hard the way she’d seen the older hunters do. She didn’t move as quietly as they did though, but she tried placing each paw with careful intent her shoulders tight with focus.

There.

Her ears pricked forward as she spotted the pale shape ahead, stretched out in the sunlight like something soft and unguarded. For a moment she just watched the slow sway of the others tail, The way they looked… at peace. Adrestia’s nose wrinkled at the idea. How could she just lay there like that?

A twig snapped under her paw causing her to freeze suddenly.

But instead of retreating she puffed up a little lifting her chin as if she meant to be heard. She stepped out from the grass with judgmental blue eyes upon the other, Someone could sneak up on you easy like that.
