Vex vetoed her idea and Haunt didn't feel particularly nettled about it. He made a valid point. Nevertheless, she sighed. It wasn't directed toward him, it was her visceral reaction to this entire situation, the expression of her weariness. She hunkered closer to the ground, pressing her shoulder against her brother's, and fell into another ponderous silence.

When two strangers materialized, Haunt immediately rose back onto all fours. They were on either side of the pups, so Haunt instinctively turned her back to Vex to face one, leaving him to confront the other. She heard his stolid answer to the drawled question, though she didn't look at either one of them as they spoke.

Her focus remained fixed on the shadow before her, nearly invisible aside from his glowing green eyes. Haunt couldn't make much detail out in the dark, though the scent spoke of masculine strength. She licked her chops and lowered her head without thinking, drawing in an uneasy breath.

She felt fear, of course she did. They were unknown. And though she and Vex weren't technically outnumbered, they were certainly "outgunned." Haunt desperately wished Kaertok was here, or even @Arbiter. Their mother surely wanted to kill them, though she was a safer bet than two wildcards appearing out of the night.

That thought prompted Haunt to speak more quickly than ever before in her life. "No," she corroborated Vex, "our father and mother are close by. Hunting."
