Grouse Thicket the foetus of a new day kicking

@Renoir <3 powerplay to get them moving.

he had suggested that the four of them split into two pairs and search for prey, agreeing to rejoin at a later time in the day -- tachyon and constantine took a neighboring path to his own, while he and renoir moved into the shadow of a thicket. at one time, the druid knew this place would be thick with small mammals and birds, but there was none to be found here.

nothingness had been their lot since departing donnelaith, and lasher was growing discouraged. he was silent as they moved, pausing from time to time to paw at the earth and scent for the tracks of even the smallest animal.
