While it was still her first impulse to trail after Valravn every time she crossed his scent, she had taken to stalking Haunt as well, given their shared interest in hunting. She was a bit frightened of the deer they'd observed together, having had little experience with them up close when they were still living. Smaller prey intimidated the young female less, so she had chosen to focus on stalking smaller creatures- but this did not mean that she wasn't still curious about stalking larger prey. And so, interested in seeing if Haunt might want to go and scout out Broken Antler again, she began following her pale friend's footprints along the shore until she caught sight of three forms ahead, skimming along the surf.
She recognized them immediately as Haunt and her Maman, and looked to see a buck in the water, which surprised her. Why would a deer have strayed close enough to the ocean that it could be pinned there, between the current and such keen fangs? Regardless of how the situation had come about, Chacal felt spurred on to join them out of both fondness and a bit of boosted confidence, feeling a bit more secure knowing that the hooved herbivore was now facing three wolves- including her beautiful, wild mother- and had the sea at its back.
She flew across the sand with the gentle, steady four-beat patter of her feet, and skimmed over the shallow, frothy surface of the water before plunging into the salty waves like a dark arrow. The deer looked as though it had been heading toward the small, wave-ravaged brick of stone, but it would have to swim through deep water to get there- and it would still be cornered if it made it. She surged forward against the waves which sought to push her back to the shore, but they split against her narrow chest and wove around her, slicking her dark fur against her sides. She kept her head above the water, pushing her nose above the waves so that she could still see where Haunt and Erzulie were, and avoid getting water in her windpipe.

It can be assumed that if Chacal is speaking, she will be singing. Her speaking patterns will always have a melodic quality to them.
