Redtail Rise everything's not lost

She waited and watched, listening as the chirping amplified. With patience, the crickets seemed lulled into a false sense of security, and had begun to sing again once the wolves had stopped moving. She inched toward Mulherin as he did toward her, the pair of them moving with halting steps, as though imitating a stick bug. It seemed to work- only occasionally would a very close cricket stop its song, before resuming once more. 

She gave him a grin, impressed with the stealth he showed. It'd already been an accomplishment for him to sneak out of the den without being caught, let alone sneaking up on the crickets as well. Perhaps he might do well to train with Augur or Masque, who might better hone his tactics. He certainly had the instincts for it!

She turned one of her ears when a cricket sounded off very close to them, and she searched in the darkness to pick it out, crouched and singing on a broad leaf, close to the ground. She  gestured with her gaze, so that Mulherin might finally catch sight of the creature that was creating such a loud din, despite being so tiny in size.
