Lost Creek Hollow forfeited

Tulimaq does not mean to cause alarm as he prowls the woods, but he is also not entirely mindful of how his pursuit could be percieved. His mind is set on the singular purpose of hunting. Even if his target had slipped from something edible to something entirely different, the methods are the same. One could argue that his stalking of the wolf took more skill; it did not matter in the long run. The wolf was curious, and the forest's darkness gave him ample opportunity to catch up and observe.

He overshot the target's position, and didn't notice until moments later when their steps no longer sounded among the trees. Tulimaq paused his own strides, and thereafter was silence save for the rustling of the wind in the trees. He wanted to keep moving. The prospect of sitting still for any length of time never felt right to him, but to move now could betray his position. Tulimaq might not have meant anyone ill-will but he knew how groups like these operated—he had been born in to Tartok, after all—and so he expected backlash from hidden foes.
