Ravensblood Forest Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Pump followed Pied without making any sound - now that they were getting nearer to the creature, the scent got stronger with every step. The black she-wolf felt excitement rise and found it to be very hard to contain. It took a lot of effort not to rush ahead of her companion and start the hunt immediately, but she respected Pied's "first hand" opportunity and obeyed her wordless commands.

However, the moment they split to attack the creature from both sides, Pump began to lope pretty fast and determinedly in the creature's direction. Her approach caught the badger by surprise, but, rather than stopping to see, what it was and how dangerous it was, it also broke in a run. The chase had begun.
