When she barked, he turned his roaming attention back to her and dashed to meet up. The boy bumped her hip with his nose in a playful manner, and then side-stepped and investigated the pile on his own. It was cold, but not frozen, as she'd discovered. A few yards away from it was another series of tracks in the ice, but soon enough they were enveloped by a wedge-shaped break in the snow from where the creature had climbed up the hillside. The loose snow had compacted under it's weight, and there were indications that the snow had become deep enough to nearly submerge the full-grown elk.
Tryphon and his companion could move atop the snow with some ease, being lighter than the big old ungulate. That didn't answer where it had gone though — and the trail had nearly died. Poised atop a rise in the snow, Tryphon tried to look around, tried to sniff the air, taste it with his tongue, but there was nothing to follow. Until the tired sound of the elk's voice carried on the wind. His ears twisted to catch it, and then he leveled a startled - excited - look at his dark companion. Did you hear that?
