animal smells and porcupine quills

As someone who also has to go back to work tomorrow... good luck! I'm gonna nudge this towards a fade here, since I think this was a precursor to the OS hunt.

Mordecai felt a frown form on his face at the words that Sitri offered. Not out of disappointment, but rather at the aspect that there was little that they could do on their own. Still, with the herd lingering at the fringes of their territory, it was also an opportunity that he didn't want them to pass up. Licking his lips, Mordecai took note of the injured ones in the herd all the same. That young would have been prime too, but he'd settle for the old just as well.

“We should go and find Jinx then. I don't think they'll make too much headway while we're off doing that, and hopefully when we return to them we'll have the pack with us.” He gave a nudge to Sitri's scarred shoulder, and slowly turned away from the herd so that they could make their way back to the better half of the territory. Mordecai wasn't sure where Jinx would be, but he was sure that they could find her quickly. And with any luck, she'd be pleased enough to want to call on a hunt.
