Redtail Rise In the Faces of Cats

She registered the yearling’s proximity, though much of her focus remained on tracking the feline, hoping to get eyes on it before it realized the pair of she-wolves was stalking it. Soon they had some strange noises to guide them along with the strong scent, luring Masque and Sunrise ever nearer until golden eyes beheld the cat’s actual form in the middle distance.

Once more, Masquerade prompted her young companion to halt, then crouch alongside her. Warily, she assessed the situation from afar. The bobcat was still on its feet, which didn’t bode well for the wolves’ chances. Yet its movements were unnatural. It appeared to be in so much pain, it didn’t remotely react to their presence. From what she could gather, it was suffering from a bad infection, likely due to an injury of some sort, though she couldn’t figure out specifics at this range.

Slanting her snout to whisper against Sunrise’s ear, she kept her eyes on the feline even as she said, We need to keep observing for a while before we make a move. I know it’s difficult to be patient but hopefully we’ll be rewarded for it. She paused, then advised, Settle all the way onto your belly and relax your muscles. We’ll want to conserve energy if we decide to attack.

Feel free to narrate the bobcat too! :)
