Far away, from the deep shadows of the intricate tangle, Raimo watched a doe tread lightly onward. At her flank was a set of twins, and Raimo's intent was to separate the smaller of the two away, which was a reckless plan. As the trio ducked around a copse, Raimo moved with a driving force across the path and in to the sprawl of muted green.
The doe did not appear to notice. The twins took no offense to his stalking, making him feel some pride in his ability.
When he reached the base of an arbutus, he paused alongside it and peered around. The mother stood hunched over a small patch of leaf-litter and was unearthing grass with drags of her heel, reaching to munch as she found what she wanted, her haunches quivering with subtle movements. She looked terribly cold in the shadows. The twins froliced nearby and were both drawn towards a slanting path of light.
Deftly, Raimo moved around them and pivoted so that he could face the young, with their mother distracted and behind them. He need only to drive himself between them and use their hysteria to his advantage.

the inky ghoul took to scouting the neighboring territories after his unexpected run-in with a past friend...or was it lover? his relationship with the coal and russet mercenary was more complicated now than ever, and that was saying a lot considering the overly complex and tangled feelings they had held for each other before his abrupt departure from the wilds.
unsure of where their relationship would go from here, astaroth escaped his worries in the most comfortable way he knew how - sating his wanderlust. as curious as a whimsical child, the sable vagrant crept his way through warped branches and entwined shrubbery, eventually stumbling upon the trail of the vigilant hunter and his oblivious prey.
the shadow kept a ways back, not wishing to disrupt the other's efforts or earn himself disfavor amongst the locals. for now he remained off in the distant, mindful not to alert the trio of his presence as he slunk down to the earth's floor. ever watchful, astaroth remained steadfast, curious if the unfamiliar hunter could pull off whatever plan he may have in mind.
