When she rose, his head tilted just the slightest bit, questioning. Perhaps she would come, perhaps this time she would rise to the occasion and come to his side. His ears fanned forward as far as they could go, his breath held for a moment—she turned away, back towards the timberline, and the breath escaped him silently. His gaze followed where she went in glimpses where moonlight could reach, and it was there that he found the lingering form of Gannet with narrowed eyes.

So much for a chance meeting here, though as he drew his attention northward again, he wondered what he would expect for being in their backyard, so to speak. He cast another look towards Hydra's dark form, lingering for a beat longer, and moved to conceal himself swiftly in the tall grasses that he had come from.

Another time, perhaps.
