Okay, stealth was definitely how Hale did it. Mauti nodded shortly in agreement to Ole's words, recalling briefly that the other man was quite large. But if he could do it, that meant she could, too. That she'd have a better time of it, too, because she had less body to maneuver and smaller paws to place between the undergrowth.

Ole jested at her next words, asking if he at least smelled nice. And she cracked another grin, followed by a nod that was slightly more enthusiastic than normal. "Yes, yes, of course," she reassured him. But maybe they could both roll in some flowers?

He went on to explain that there were, in fact, deer in the area. And that she should be able to smell them, if only they walked for long enough. So she went back to sniffing, quiet, trying to make it seem like she was doing more than just enjoying his presence.
