As they headed off and silence descended between them all, Mordecai set to mentally preparing himself for what lied ahead of them. He went with some haste, though there was a certain part of him holding back; he didn't want to take them in all rushing if it would have ended in spooking their prey. He climbed through the narrow passageways that made up squat foothills, snaking and priming himself as he settled into position where he hoped that the elk would emerge from the lingering fog of the morning.

And after several minutes of particular nothing, he began to hear the hoofbeats and calls of the traveling ungulates. Ears perked atop his head, he allowed his gaze to meander from there to where his partners were tucked away and wondered if they had observed the same. With another call in response murmuring out of the fog, that once over was cut short as he returned to the hazy view before him. Steadily and aware, the elk began to press out like darkening silhouettes against the smoky fog, and he began to study them keenly.

But where the lame participants were among them, he had yet to find.
