Blacktail Deer Plateau Spooky scary skeletons

Liri turned, giving her pelt a slight shake to rid herself of most of the blood, yet her head turned to observe the quarreling pair with dark eyes. 

Minori, who she had known since before the pack's formation, seemed to be joking. At least to the healer, who knew the girl to be a bit standoffish and abrasive to outsiders. But Siqsa, she was not so familiar with. Genuine disrespect laced his tones and something clicked into place for the healer - the way he reacted to Ruenna on the borders, Krarius's hesitant remarks about not being welcomed...and who had joined shortly before the timid male? Siqsa. 

The fae returned to her mate's side, more important matters awaited in the night. Minori was a grown woman. She could handle her own battles as Liri well knew. As Siqsa departed, Liri's eyes followed him, wondering what would become of the man. 

His aura was violent, unlike so many of her family members. Liri had lived through enough turmoil and she desperately hoped that Siqsa would adjust to peaceful pack life, for she didn't want anymore. 

She smiled at Kavik, pulled from her worries by his words. Silently, she lowered her muzzle to the ground. Her lips parted, the aromas along the ground strengthened as they flooded against her palette, as she worked to detect an identifying scent. 

There was something familiar about the scent but it was so perfumed by the scent of dead game and plant life that she could not be sure what it was. 

"Looks like it went this way," she finally offered after trying to untangle the web of scent that seemed hectic - had it already been injured, stumbling about drunkenly? 

As the fae was embraced by the darkness, moonlight filtering through the canopy to shed illumination on their path, the scent grew weaker. It led them to the stream where it seemed that the beast had crossed over.

The trail went dead on the banks though if one cared to check the other bank they would find a trail of blurry prints leading into the forest - pointed towards the edge of the plateau - and a mangled rabbit corpse.
