Ravensblood Forest Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Pump's grandma had been a very practical creature. "Don't use strong, when you can go by weak." She had taught each one of her offspring and passed on the knowledge to her granddaughter, when the little pup had barely been able to grasp the concept of words, let alone spoken wisdom. May sound strange at first, but, when you delve in - you get the idea - don't waste precious energy in any matter, if you can avoid it. Therefore Pump, who had forgotten quite a lot of other things she had been taught, had stuck to this piece of knowledge, because it had proven to be useful in many occasions.

So now... when she was food hunting, she did not use her gift of scent as a first choice, but followed the lead of her eyes and hearing. It was easier, it did not require her to concentrate too much and she had been lucky enough to follow a moving creature for a while now. From the distance she was standing, it was hard to tell, what it was or even smell it, but it was moving, therefore alive, therefore... possibly huntable and edible. The creature was appearing and disappearing between the trees, sometimes Pump lost her track and needed to stop, to look carefully and find it again.

But her vision didn't fail her, the creature, who blended almost perfectly with the scenery, always appeared again. And when the right moment came, Pump felt confident enough to move more quickly in a determined manner and close the distance between her and her "prey".

ooc: I suggest that Pump spotted and began following Pied a short while ago. If that is fine with you, I will leave it. If not, I can change my post.
