Phantom Hollow Sneaky Sneak

Scout thread. Anyone's welcome to jump in.

On quiet, cautious paws Mitanni walked through the forest, just within the border and looking out. This had been the last place she'd seen Cogitemus before he'd disappeared, and she wondered if he'd left some trail behind. It surprised her that he'd go without saying anything, especially given his relationship to Malice, but maybe they hadn't known him as well as they'd thought.

The seed of doubt planted by that contemplation wasn't enough to deter her from the path he'd nudged her on though. It had been his idea that she'd be a good fit for ranging, and after giving it thought Mitanni agreed. But Moonlit Hills was still new, and now without one of their alphas. They needed all members home to protect their claim, even if she wasn't technically fit to protect anything.

But that didn't mean she couldn't practice a little. She couldn't presently justify leaving the pack lands, but she was free to wander the border--patrolling technically--and could attempt to do so sneakily. Her amber eyes watched her feet about as much as they watched the border, carefully picking the placement of her paws to minimize noise, and she thought she was doing well so far. She'd just need to keep up at it.
