She wouldn't take her place right at Haunt's flank- but would follow along a few paces away from her, clearly allowing for her to lead. And as they walked, the silence between them was comfortable. More often than not, she trailed along with Valravn like this, and she found that whenever they were silent, it wasn't awkward. Whenever Valravn chose not to ask her questions or ramble on himself, she felt he was simply slipping into her sort of speech pattern which was to not speak at all. And it made her feel included. Whether or not she knew it, Haunt was gaining more and more respect from Chacal as the minutes passed, simply by including her without putting any pressure on her to speak. 

She followed along, just a moment behind Haunt on the trail and she too moved forward to sniff at the fox carcass. Fox...Wasn't her favourite. She wasn't sure why they ate foxes- but it was winter, so they could not be too picky. Foxes were beautiful creatures- and while they were pests, she didn't find them enough of a nuisance to want to kill them and save their body to eat later. It was a sign that whoever had been hunting, and had caught the fox, was obviously being very practical. They might not have caught anything else that day- but at least they'd caught something. 

She watched as Haunt investigated another cache, one that looked a bit harder to get to with it being buried at the base of a bush, which was how Chacal liked to hide her catches. She often put them at the base of a landmark of some type, half-nudged beneath whatever it was, if she could get it in there, entangled in tree roots or under a bush like this one. She moved forward to crawl in a sniff it- just so that she too could keep a log of their caches, before she snuck back out. One of the branches caught the fur along her spine, and as she backed out, it left a solid line of fur standing straight up. She shook herself to get the fur to lay flat again; it probably looked silly. 

At Haunt's suggestion, Chacal whipped in a tight circle twice- as though she was trying to catch her tail- before she began to trot off, head down and tail curled lightly. She thought she knew exactly where to go to find a few caches.
It can be assumed that if Chacal is speaking, she will be singing. Her speaking patterns will always have a melodic quality to them.
