Hatshepsut paused, returning the other's nod. She did not bristle, but her own nostrils flared. The scent of the cat surrounded them, but with no discernible footsteps to be caught by pricked auds, the two were at a loss to pursue the trespassing feline.

In the shadows, the cat had great advantages, for both retreat and ambush. The Egyptian could only hope that her packmate would follow, and that the sight of them both locked in advance would result in the former, not the latter.
