Phantom Hollow Sneaky Sneak

As much as he tried to hide it, Mitanni still saw part of that little grin Judas wore, even as he turned it out of her direct sight. Of course he would laugh. He'd very successfully startled her, to the point she'd actually jumped, and with the scare she'd been given starting to abate even she could see the humor in it. Got me this time, the black and brown wolf conceded, though she hoped to be readier if he tried it again later.

Overall, she thought the review she received was helpful. She'd felt awfully sneaky with the mud coating her fur to further hide her within the forest, but he'd proven without a doubt that her tracking still needed work. "Yeah, probably," the lithe little wolf agreed with a nod of her head. Her amber eyes lowered and stared thoughtfully at the ground, giving thought to the advice she'd been given and how better she could incorporate it into her sneaking routine.

Rolling her shoulders, feeling the mud on her frame shift with the motion, Mitanni smiled at her unexpected compliment. She'd done well enough to make Judas proud? That was definitely encouraging! Even as his smile slid quickly away, hers remained in place, and as he excused himself she hooked onto his offer of further lessons. That was just what she needed now that she was making progress. "Okay," Mitanni agreed, and hastily added, "Thanks, Judas." She waited around for a second as he continued to walk, and then with a shake of her mud-coated frame headed back toward the river to rinse off.

Yeah, this was a fun thread. Mitanni's looking forward to running into Judas again in the future.
