Noctisardor Bypass Tour Gone Wrong

Assuming Gwen was showing @Cuicatl and @Semira around the territory. Set close to the borders, and we will have a NPC fox!

The tour had gone well so far. They'd already checked out the heart of the territory and Gwen had showed the two subordinates the best places to rest, hunt, sleep, etc. They seemed to be getting along well, and it seemed both Cuicatl and Semira could understand one another well enough - Gwen could also speak Spanish so communication among the little patrol was pretty decent.

However, as they neared the borders, the Empress caught a scent that made her hackles rise in annoyance. She could scent a fox close by and there was a small trail of blood leading toward the cause of the smell. "Follow," she whispered back to the others, before sneaking over, following the scent until she could see the intruder. With a snarl, Gwen leapt out of the bushes to attempt to scare the fox away. 

For a moment, the intruder only stared at them, before making a run for it. However, it was still inside the borders. The pale wolfess cursed under her breath and gave chase, snapping her jaws. It seemed to be heading for the edge, and it was so close.

Semira had listened intently thorughout the tour, her amber gaze taking in every colorful new spring flower and bright green leaf. As they came upon another little stream cutting through the expansive bypass. At the sight, she turned slightly, nudging Cui with a humorous, knowing smile before turning her attention back to Gwen. 

When they came near the border, she noticed that Gwen froze in place, exasperation seeming to pour out of the femme. Semira leaned her own crown down towards the earth, smelling the foxes trail of blood. The metallic smell tingled her nose and she quickly lifted her cranium, looking to Gwen for instructions.

At Gwen's whispered word, Semira crouched low to the ground, following the Alpha a safe distance behind. She stayed silent, as not to disrupt Gwen's plan of which Semira had no knowledge of. 

As the Empress leapt into a sprint Semira spotted the gleaming red of the foxes tail. She lurched after them from her hunched position, giving chase to the sly creature. She let a feral snarl escape her maw as she ran at the white wolf's heels.
