Stone Circle angel by the wings

she watched in silence as Sunny cast around, eventually finding a trail. when he did, she moved to meet him, scenting briefly the trail before setting off at a lope, expecting that he would follow, tracking alongside her as they followed the trail. it was one of the things that she was good at' perhaps due to the influence of Valette. she knew it might take a long while to learn how to do so accurately, and thus occasionally allowed Sunny to take the lead, until the muted scratchings of birds hiding ahead had her pause, and gesture he ought to do the same. 

she looked to Sunny, gesturing that he should stay put; and be alert, her ears flickered forward and her tail twitched, unable to feel the normal excitement before the hunt, but the act of it giving her instead a silent comfort, something else to focus on. 

when she hoped that she had given the message to stay put clearly, she moved carefully around the approximate location of the birds, circling back around to lurk behind them. when she had pinpointed their exact location in the undergrowth did she charge, sending them in the general direction of Sunny, snapping at the birds, a wild leap resulting in her fangs snagging in the tail of a medium sized male.
