Dragoncrest Cliffs son of none

Please skip me if needed while Mallaidh is in the background! Also, feel free to notice her. <3

She’s following Eastwood’s scent for a while, keeping her distance on a fresh trail. He’d been much of a mystery during their conversations that she was curious to found out what she can when he isn’t looking. Mallaidh doesn’t have to operate under a guise anymore and it surprises her how much it affected her daily life. Anxiety has not been shed entirely from her life but it does not control her as strongly, either, and she can fine tune the skills she’s learned from her former mentors.
 
Eventually, Eastwood’s trail leads to Blixen and she pauses. One foot hovers above the ground, ears cup forward, and she tries to listen. She isn’t close enough to hear so she takes a few steps closer, trying to pull the sound to her, but all she gets is a third, unknown scent. Ears tilt back against her head, moving through the redwoods enough that she can see Eastwood, half of Blixen, and a small portion of the stranger. Mallaidh remains still against the sounds of the forest, waiting to hear something to know more about the situation.
